This book begins right where the previous book left off. This is book two of the first arc of the warrior cats series. I would give three and a half stars to this novel that so surpassed my expectations. Along the way plot revelations are made and surprising developments come from the new relationships that are formed.įire and Ice does an excellent job taking the reader further into the fantasy world of the cat clans and keeping a high level of interest. The author navigates these thorny subjects with skill and tender feeling, allowing the reader to identify with the characters on a deeply personal level. Whichever Erin Hunter wrote this novel tackled some deep and complex interpersonal issues, including loyalty to oneself and one's people, friendship and the painful barbed obstacles that can come between even boon companions, the effects of love (both old and new) on one's life, and what it means to feel alone and significantly different from everyone else. This second installment in the Warriors series is, to me, even more gripping and compelling than the first. He wondered if they could ever be friends again."

Ford is here again working with the maturity and brilliance of a writer at the absolute height of his powers. It is a moving and wondrous and extremely funny odyssey through the America we live in at this moment. In four richly luminous narratives, Bascombe (and Ford) attempts to reconcile, interpret and console a world undone by calamity. Now, in Let Me Be Frank with You, Ford reinvents Bascombe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Through Bascombe-protean, funny, profane, wise, often inappropriate-we've witnessed the aspirations, sorrows, longings, achievements and failings of an American life in the twilight of the twentieth century. In his trio of world-acclaimed novels portraying the life of an entire American generation, Richard Ford has imagined one of the most indelible and widely discussed characters in modern literature, Frank Bascombe. People Hilarious, poignant and full of unexpected gems, BE FRANK WITH ME illuminates the strange ways literature can parallel life, and introduces readers to one of the most charming, lovable and maddening children in fiction. A brilliant new work that returns Richard Ford to the hallowed territory that sealed his reputation as an American master: the world of Frank Bascombe, and the landscape of his celebrated novels The Sportswriter, the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner winning Independence Day, and The Lay of the Land.

Link educates the reader on problem solving by dissecting how doctors and hospital administrators look at the tiniest details to determine if a problem is systemic, diagnostic or a personnel issue. Reading about how the hospital survived Hurricane Sandy or quickly adjusted to the Covid crisis is truly compelling, in fact both of those stories are great subject matter for a movie or documentary.ĭr.
