I, too, enjoyed the film BODIES BODIES BODIES. This is just that, but in a library.

I love Terry Pratchett and I love Macbeth, so this was a pretty obvious love for me 🙂

I found this one to be a bit of a mixed bag, but overall it was a fun read. Meddy felt a weak as a protagonist, but the supporting cast was strong and interesting enough that they made up for it. I loved the dark humour and the contrast of the glitz and glamour of the wedding with the murder and its coverup.

I found the ending disappointing - everything felt wrapped up way too easily and quickly, and the lesbian romance reveal felt unearned.

This was an adorable, lighthearted read that had just enough depth and character to it to remain interesting. Great subversion of a lot of fantasy/D&D tropes done in a loving way.

"That which makes the most sense makes no sense", Dick writes in this, and that koan represents the heart of VALIS. At times it is inexplicable and nonsensical, but in a way that unveils the unknowable. I loved the experience of having read this book.

I spent 14 years in Catholic schools and studied Religion and Culture at university for 4 years. If I had to pick one book to explain western religion to someone who'd never heard of it, this is the book that I would use.
