With the help of his long-term girlfriend, his quirky Mensan best friend, his wild and athletic best girlfriend since childhood, and his friend from undergrad at Georgetown who followed him to Harvard for grad school, he sets out to decode this complex cryptogram, which he soon discovers is charged with the potential to unhinge the very control that certain government officials are intent, at all costs, on maintaining. Had he not, in his hungover state, opened the email, Graham could have continued on his predetermined successful, if dysfunctional, path and never embarked on the paradigm-shifting journey that so loosens his grasp on reality and obliterates not only what he chooses to believe, but what he trusts as fact. Graham must work to unravel a litany of secrets sobering in their implications not only for himself, but for the past 12,000 years of human history and the secrets of the universe. Graham, a functioning alcoholic and Harvard medical student, stumbles across a puzzling communication from his deceased Navy SEAL brother. I know the answer to the world’s deepest secret.

The mention of author Paul Sheldon was a nice touch.įinally we had “The Sun Dog”. I couldn’t seem to care about the protagonist, Sam Peebles, and found the story generally a little weak although it did improve towards the end. “The Library Policeman” was my least favourite of the four stories. Probably my third favourite of the set I liked the plot and the supernatural element in this one but having read it immediately after “The Dark Half” I could see similarities in the end. This reminded me a lot of “The Dark Half” and had a couple of bits set in Derry, which was nice. I will put the film on my to watch list I think as it would be interesting to see how they’ve done it. “Secret Window, Secret Garden” was made into a film with Johnny Depp as the protagonist, Mort Rainey. I didn’t spot any links to other King books, although feel free to correct me in the comments if I missed one. This is the most stand alone of the four novellas as well.

I like Andrea, she is a kick arse female, I wanted to know what would happen with her and Rapheal and Kate and Curran would surely peek in at some point all is not lost. I admit, I cried, I fell to my knees and howled to the moon "whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyy" in most most despairing tone.but once they let me out the padded room (major over reaction by the way, just because you howl at the moon, it DOES NOT make you crazy!) and ate some chocolate my rational brain smoothered my crazy brain and I started to think. So.we have to go a year without a Kate Daniel's book. As the novel opens, Kim is playing King of the Canon when an exotic old lama appears before him, down from his Tibetan monastery and bewildered by the big city. So fluidly swims Kim in his environment that not many people know that he's really a sahib (white master) whose full name is Kimball O'Hara. He speaks English brokenly as a second language but is fluent in vernacular Hindi and Urdu, expressing himself in them with a spicy street poetry, and he can pass for an indigenous Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist. Kim is a poor orphan boy whose Irish parents have died in India, leaving him basically on his own in the city of Lahore, where he has been doing "nothing with an immense success," other than avoiding British authority figures who would send him to an orphanage or, worse, to a school, as well as engaging in nighttime intrigue by carrying messages between dandies and their mistresses and hanging out with a varied host of uncommon common people, becoming known as Little Friend of all the World. "What is Kim?" asks the title character of Rudyard Kipling's classic novel (1901) more than once. |
