Product Information

I'm giving this one 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I loved the writing and I couldn't put it down.

I couldn't imagine this was standard protocol for delivering bad news. It seemed unlikely that in medical school, the professor of Intro to Bedside Manners had instructed a younger, thinner Dr. Hall to sprinkle his diagnosis with the phrase "don't shoot the messenger." Was I even sure this joker was fully licensed? I knew more about breaking unfavorable medical news than he did, and my wealth of knowledge was gleaned entirely from overhearing my father on the phone and watching prime-time hospital dramas. A and D are collaborating on an artistic book. E and B agree privately that the project is “awful” but that A and D “need the confidence” it is going to give them. “Log VI/Everybody” is set during its launch party. One way this chapter extends the novel’s range of desubjectifying techniques is to present the party’s attendees as a list of statistics. Of the New Yorkers, we read, 69 “live below 14th Street,” 18 “on the Upper East Side,” 42 “on the Lower West Side,” 36 “on the Upper West Side,” etc. Verbal exchanges are presented in fragments, as snatches of overheard conversation, but also broken down as percentages: “36% of the women talked more to women than to men”; “14% made an effort to meet specific people it would be advantageous to know”; “47% spoke to former lovers.” The movement of people through the room is described purely visually—as if caught by accident in the lens of a camera.

I was furious that Dr. Hall wasn't bothering to mask his satisfaction in having his hunch—whatever the hell it was—confirmed. But more than my anger, I felt a mounting wave of terror building.

What's that?" I asked quietly. I wasn't angry anymore. I'd be good, I'd be compliant, and maybe he'd like me enough to say I could go, that everything was fine. Painter, C. (1986).

I think, in an effort to up the ante for readers who've come to anticipate 'big twists' at the end of thrillers, some authors go overboard.....and stretch credibility beyond the breaking point. For me, that's the case with this book. I didn't buy the epilog. I loved PC Kelly Swift's character in this one and liked how she was very empathetic and connected to her cases especially with Zoe and her family. I have read many Patricia MacDonald books, and there is something she does that I haven't been able to figure out whether it is a positive or a negative or a bit of both.It's just so strange, because everyone in our family has great eyes—none of us wear glasses—although you know what? I told her that if she kept on reading in the dark it would ruin her eyes. This one, with the books! I mean, don't get me wrong, reading is good, of course, but you can take a good thing too far, for God's sake! I hate to say it, I really do, but I was right. I mean, was I right, Eleanor?"

They are both equally excellent but in different ways (if that makes sense haha). However...all my complaints about her first book, are gone in this one. I found this book a little more tangible to connect with and more plausible. for me. I do have to say I was definitely hesitant on reading this one.. considering how much I loved her debut novel. I was a little concerned since I kept seeing 2 and 3 stars from everyone on Goodreads for this one BUT I am SO glad that I decided to read this one!!

You have a degenerative retinal disease." He paused, waiting for a response, but I sat there, silent, so he went on. Your prescription seems pretty good," she mused, looking through my file. "And everyone's eyes adjust to the dark differently, so I'm really not concerned. But since you're here, let's just dilate your pupils and take a look."At nineteen years old, Nicole C. Kear's biggest concern is choosing a major--until she walks into a doctor's office in midtown Manhattan and gets a life-changing diagnosis. She is going blind, courtesy of an eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, and has only a decade or so before Lights Out. Instead of making preparations as the doctor suggests, Kear decides to carpe diem and make the most of the vision she has left. She joins circus school, tears through boyfriends, travels the world, and through all these hi-jinks, she keeps her vision loss a secret. van Leeuwen, T. J. (2008).
