“Fairy Tales”
by E.F. Sunland
Review: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Chevalier’s classic is technically “good,” but it’s flat. Griet’s character might be better explored by Vermeer’s famous painting than by this book.
Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Why wasn’t this a short story? I usually enjoy Gaiman’s light, magical tone. Here, though, it feels phoned in and shallow.
Review: The Shining
a.k.a. I would like to officially retract every bad or unflattering thing I have ever said about Stephen King’s writing.
