Reviews For Writers by redick. Most reviews are for readers. These are for writers looking for commentary on technique. * Martha Riva Palacio Obón's Secrets We Tell the Sea (Novel) Translated from the Spanish by Lourdes Heuer. Quite possibly the greatest example of extended and interwoven metaphor there is. A beautifully executed work. * Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses (Novel) This is Rushdie's 4th novel and deemed blasphemy by the religious. And it was my first introduction to "magical realism". * Diana Urban's Lying in the Deep (Novel) A soapy young adult mystery thriller reminiscent of Death on The Nile. * Kathy Reichs's The Bone Hacker (Novel) More of a forensics and police procedural and less of a mystery thriller. * Lauren Yero's Under This Forgetful Sky (Novel) I loved the title. This is billed as post-apocalyptic young adult.
