Book Review: Boneshaker, True Compass
Oct. 13th, 2009 03:15 pmRead Boneshaker by Cherie Priest this weekend, and it was a tasty little steampunk gothic zombie story, about a mother and her son. It had some interesting plot twists, good characterization -- I could practically smell that poisonous gas -- and it was enjoyable.
Also read Edward Kennedy's True Compass. As you might expect, it's not an in-depth examination of Kennedy, but a review of his life from his perspective. It's an interesting perspective, but anyone who wants deeper analysis will have to wait for a Martin Gilbert to do a Churchillian biography of Kennedy. One of the nicer aspects of True Compass was the information on his relationship with his brothers. There's a lovely photograph of Ted with his oldest brother, Joe Jr., and another of Ted and Bobby with Jack; you can see how much younger Ted and Bobby were in comparison and how they looked up to their older brothers.
