Well, even though I am aware of those books, and have them on my horribly long to-be-read list, I just haven't gotten around.

Where she fell asleep in the year 2013, she finds herself in something that can be only compared to the old west of American history.

Or what happened to him? Over all the story was okay, looking back I'm not sure it was worth my time but I was able to finish it.

When one of the Arrivals, Mary, dies and doesn't back Chloe is swept into the wild desert landscape and into the long standing feud between Jack's group and Anji, the leader of a different group of Arrivals, a group that never dies.

:) I was definitely rooting for them!

Melissa Marr always takes me to a completely different world everytime and this book is no different. Arrival: The Story of CanLit...reads like an engaging story of the fictional kind.

Yes, I immediately thought it was THAT Arrival, and no, it's not.

I was excited about this book. I am halfway through it right now and so far my opinion is I think it's a fine novel. Paperback ₹ 285.00 #33.

The following scene was slow to build the action and get the readers attention which is probably why the author chose to insert the opening scene.

There is one glaring omission: although Mount spends a full chapter on Anansi and Coach House he neglects to mention one of the best and most sought-after small presses, Oberon.

This book has a great world and pretty interesting characters, but where the hell was the story?

Welcome back.

There's Kitty and Jack Reed, a brother & sister from the actual wild west; Edgar, a prohibition bootlegger; Francis, a one-time. Basically the bad guy is bad and we must kill him. It either needed to be much much longer or a series. He is a two-time finalist in TVO’s Best Lecturer Competition. First and foremost, don't confuse this with the new "Arrival" movie.

He lives in Toronto.. Hi Good Afternoon i am looking for the book The Story of CanLit by Nick Mount. But th. Nick Mount is a professor of English literature at the University of Toronto, award-winning critic, and former Fiction Editor at The Walrus. Welcome back. Be the first to ask a question about The Arrivals. I've been reading this book for more than 2 months, and I honestly wish I DNF'ed it at page 50. This book has a great world and pretty interesting characters, but where the hell was the story? Just OK for what it is. 18 hours of an audio book that could have been edited down to MAYBE 3. I suppose once I reach the end that particular query will be answered by how many strings are tied neatly and how many are left laying frazzled around the story. Current price is $19.60, Original price is $28.00.

honestly the book is just too long. It was so short and I was more than halfway through so I couldn't justify it, but this was a real struggle. (I guess since he wanted to make CanLit seem interesting, any dry stuffy approach would have been a death sentence for his book.). I enjoyed finding out more about some of the authors and poets that I studied and I plan to dig up some of my old poetry books to read Acorn, Layton and others again. Usually I'll finish a book pretty quickly, but i had to force myself to keep reading this one. I'm not one for western settings, but surprisingly I did enjoy this one in particular.

Jack turned his head slightly toward the rear of the flight deck, as if to speak to his engineer. We’d love your help. The Arrivals takes place in the Wasteland, an alien desert environment with towns and characters strongly reminiscent of a classic western. Current price is $27.99, Original price is $35.00. The variety of characters in this book is really interesting but they mesh together.

There is a line however between implausible for lack of current scientific knowledge and just straight up crazy stupid. No warp drive, no replicator/transporter, no energy beams. Before he bolts, he tells his remaining crew not to tell anyone about his transformation. I don’t want to spoil anything but this book is well written, and a truly addicting story.

I have no idea why there are high ratings for this book. 182 reviews.

honestly the book is just too long. )” –Midwest Book Review.

Maybe people are rating this book high thinking it’s about the movie of the same name but entirely unrelated. The measurements seemed off, some of the measurements sited seemed like the distances should have been numbers of feet, not meters.

While you are reading "Arrival" you don't really think about these things so much, as you are just enjoying yourself. Kids are never too young to start learning! Then there were many incongruencies, I could site some but wanting to avoid spoiling, I'll just say that things didn't work in one place in the book that did work in others, and people often did way too stupid of things, after making them out to be pretty smart in other places. And two thumbs up on. I like it when authors I like do diversify and bring something different, even if it’s just a matter of how old the target audience is.

It seems to be someone spying on a woman who’s just found out something that has devastated her. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. Then... 2.5 maybe even a 3, but someone needs to curb the unrealistic reviews. He regularly gives public talks on the arts in Canada, and has appeared on TVO’s Big Ideas and CBC Radio’s Sunday Edition.

Find all the books, read about the … How would their experiences impact their descendants? Just couldn't go past the first hour of the Audiobook. I didn't care about any of the characters, and the plot itself seemed distant most of the book. There's really no explanation of the cause of the virus, and the "cure" was developed overnight. I am wondering if it's a standalone or if Ms. Marr's planning on writing a follow-up. As they become more interesting they come alive and the book starts to come alive with them. The premise sounded super interesting and I thought it'd be fun to get into a Western swing of things.

The Arrivals themselves are people from our world that end up in the Wasteland. I had so much enjoyment from reading this history of CanLit.

Perhaps to compensate for the extra long book, here is a truncated review.

In the mid-twentieth century, Canadian literature transformed from a largely ignored trickle of books into an enormous cultural phenomenon that produced Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Michael Ondaatje, Mordecai Richler, and so many others.

With big, fun-to-say words for every letter

I may have just missed it. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Reading this book, two things occurred to me: That I have not read (nor even heard of) nearly as much CanLit as I thought, and also, it strongly confirmed my distaste for Mordacai Richler. When these systems work together, making changes is simple.
