Humor of a feather crossword clue This is a small town Eventually everybody knows everybody and things just overlaps you know Nutshell The whole town has birds on the brain though nobody realizes the extent of it There are other darker things at work at the town though and these sins are made all the horrible for how simple and common they are Of a Feather is about darkness and redemption and the seemingly chance encounters that draw disparate persons together and drive them inexorably to either of these paths The birds are just icing on the cake Trigger warnings for this story attempted rape child molestation other child abuse emotional physical Atmosphere 3 out of 4 The opening paragraphs of the prologue put the focus on the mall and immediately give color to the town The descriptive language is similarly strong elsewhere in the book and important scenes are set well Dreams are important to the story It takes till chapter thirteen before it really feels like a horror novel but that s okay Characters 3 out of 4 Socrates is intelligent not because he s a natural genius but because his name gave him something to aspire too Jamie attaches herself to Socrates with a speed that I would find frustratingly quick in other stories but her past makes it very plausible I like that Dr Groener is willing to accept unusual possibilities rather than stubbornly cling to his original conception of what is possible Plot 3 out of 4 The characters drive the plot from beginning to end with very little authorial guidance to poke them in this direction or that The actions of one realistically reverberate through lines of connection to tap every other Writing Style 3 out of 4 I like the opening quotes at the beginning of each part They give an impression of what I m soon to experience Just as enjoyable is the sentence fragment at the beginning of each chapter an excerpt from what is to come There are a couple of technical issues but nothing severe Worldbuilding 3 out of 4 There s only a small amount here but I judge by the skill of the thing and not its scope Ken Goldman shows that you can get impressive mileage out of a thunderbird and a two faced mask An extra touch that I like is that nobody really knows what Wakinyan the Thunderbird is all about but plenty of people are willing to believe that they know what he wants Details details here there by spoilers I like Socrates Singer s name but then I am drawn to the weird ones I was expecting something big and horrible or at least big and weird to be revealed about Gustav Conqueror of the Axis visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children s children unto the third and and to the fourth generation There are some people that think that the Bible is talking about the vicious cycles that can perpetuate through families and if that s true then the verse definitely applies to the story Is it coincidence that Frankie and his ex buddy Grinder are both receptors of a vicious cycle two different kinds of abuse I can t help but wonder if Frankie wasn t as hopeless from the start as Socrates eventually decided he was And what would have become of Socrates had he never touched the mask of Wakinyan that first time Would he have matured into his power as normal or were Socrates and Frankie both set on their different but perhaps equally destructive paths by certain formative experiences in their early childhood at the hands of adults Am I reading too much into it or is there some mirror imagery to be had in how both experiences could have been prevented by the intervention of their mothers I wasn t expecting Socrates to actually die at Frankie s hands I figured that Frankie would die and then Socrates would go on a bird rampage Even so or accurately because of my surprise the ending was very satisfying Kind of surprisingly so not because I had reason to doubt from the quality of the story but because it s all wrapped up nice and neat and I don t often encounter that English Of A Feather by Ken GoldmanThe second hand store where I work regularly receives items from the public to sell on An ornament came in recently a clown sitting on a bench with two pigeons at his side It freaked me out. Book of a feather pdf To understand why this innocuous attractive ornament had that effect on me you need to read Of A Feather by Ken Goldman who has taken Hitchcock s classic horror film and taken it about ten miles further onWhoever came up with a murder of crows as a collective name must have known that years into the future a novelist would write a book in which the crows commit murder at the behest of the person who holds the power to control them Socrates Singer holds that power for some time Of A Feather is a novel of abilities which are mis used by those who acquire them either by gift or by stealth with devastating consequences The novel is crammed with realistic characters good and bad with vivid horror scenes enough to satisfy any fan of the genre and enough twists to keep the reader engrossed from start to finish I don t make a habit of giving good reviews as a matter of course the book and the author have to warrant that but in this case the review is good because the book is good It s a simple as that Read it and become involved in the strange haunted bird infested world that Socrates Singer and his friends inhabit Enjoy English Ken Goldman continues to prove why he s one of my favorite up and coming authors OF A FEATHER is a diabolical and absorbing tale that takes wing early on and pulls the reader through the darkest of skies The journey is astonishing and the destination unforgettable English When writing reviews I try to avoid re capping and instead focus on the experience of reading the novel That said this novel was simply fantastic blurring the lines between horror and an oddball americana fantasy genre that only exists at the end of Ken Goldman s pen It was novel and inventive and I hate those pretentious dollops because they sound too close to damning with faint praise But in this case the praise isn t faint and the damnation only exists for the antagonists and the tragic protagonists of this tale. Book of a feather vk What kind of tale is it I m still not sure It s horror just of a sort I haven t ever conceived I gotta admit I m jealous I have no idea where this guy comes up with this stuff but I want Please Mr Goldman tell us another story English

Wow Who s that man standing next to Ken Goldman Stephen who Take your favorite Stephen King novel remove any filler and add better storytelling BOOM now you ll know everything you need to know before reading this book I feel like I cheated the system finding this novel for free I REALLY cared about these characters and that is rare for me The story was good but the storytelling was epic I ve found a new favorite author English Before I begin this review there are two things you need to know. Book of a feather vk But when your friend of 23 years publishes his first full length novel you tend to make exceptions And in this business it s considered good manners for writerly friends to support each other by reading each other s work Which I try to do when I can. Of a feather pdf download That s what I did via an ARC advanced readers copy on my Kindle during a recent Philadelphia to Pittsburgh post holiday trip My husband the very reason I know Ken in the first place was driving us 350 miles across the fields of Pennsylvania leaving me to become immersed in this novel and its characters. Of a feather humorist And Goldman stacks Of a Feather with quite a few of them There s 17 year old Socrates Singer who has mysterious powers Gert Breedlove an octogenarian who spends her days feeding pigeons by a beloved statue in the park Socrates arch nemesis a bully named Frankie Bottinelli Doc Wiggins a World War II veteran Doris Singer Socrates precocious 13 year old sister definitely my favorite character in the novel Jamie a gorgeous teenager and Doc s granddaughter an Indian warrior and Taryn E Friedman an investigative reporter for the local news Every town has a Taryn Even Desiree Chappelle from Goldman s novella Desiree earns a very brief mention A note on Goldman and his women he handles his female characters and their interactions especially well in Of a Feather there are references to the chicks being strong resourceful financially independent and entrepreneurial Hell yeah And of course there is a special bird which comes to symbolize so very much for Socrates He begins to realize that he has in common with the bird its history and its legacy than anyone ever imagined. Feather publishing In fact all of these characters are connected As we discover these connections in nature in our personal relationships we also learn that a duality and a struggle for good and evil is constantly happening all around us. Book of a feathered man In the opening pages Goldman sets his reader up very early on for this conflict and makes us see them at every turn even at something as innocent as a bird show at the grand opening for a new mall This bird of legend represents the dual nature of our world the elderly warrior explained to a hundred parents whose children were already yawning You see everything in nature contains its opposite We move in and out of darkness As thunder contains life giving rain that same thunder creates fear and menace lightning and flood Wakinyan may serve as a protector of the Oglala but also he may appear malevolent to those very same tribesmen Truth flies into this world with two faces The Indian smiled as if he had read the boy s mind In order to learn you must first be ignorant. Murders of a feather The mask of Wakinyan knows many things he sees through many eyes as many as there are birds in the sky We are all connected Man with the flowers and trees with the birds The fact that something so beautiful and good birds relationships also possesses the ability to become ugly and malicious and deceptive is a tough lesson to learn at any age but especially so when you re 17 like Socrates Singer and who like most teenage boys has um one thing on his mind More on that aspect in a minute While reading Of a Feather it s easy to see the comparisons to Alfred Hitchcock s 1963 classic film The Birds Goldman a former high school English and Film Studies teacher has certainly done his homework here I may have seen The Birds probably at Ken Goldman s house but even a non viewer could tell that there were enough winks and nods That s perfectly fine you can t write a novel about Birds Gone Wild and not give a hat tip to Hitchcock I didn t have an issue with that at all. Book of a feather book Where my issue came was with one aspect of the writing particularly the language Now I tend not to offend easily but Goldman s prose is incredibly raw I m talking in excess of rated R raw You feel squeamish at all the f bombs and c bombs be forewarned there are quite a lot of them and other crudities you ve never heard before Let s just say you would be well advised not to leave a Ken Goldman story in full view where a child could discover it and learn a few new vocabulary words and phrases As I read I found myself cringing across the Commonwealth. Book of a feather vk As I said earlier I m not a reader of the genre and certainly not an expert I can only go by what I read and what I like So he ll probably laugh at me for saying this but Kenny you re at your best when writing about affairs of the heart my friend. Of a feather epub download Contrast to the f blasts Goldman treats us to passages like these the ones that resonated with me most Talk about opposites and duality it really is all here in Of a Feather Socrates had always hoped one person might appear just one person who would understand his turmoil understanding it and caring about him anyway not because they had to but because they really did care And then suddenly from nowhere magic For a few incredible weeks Socrates mattered he meant something to two people and the world had righted itself We all get this don t we We ve been there For Socrates Singer the slightest hint of happiness doomed itself to a short shelf life Love even when double crossed should never fight back To do so seemed a betrayal in itself This Socrates told himself repeatedly during those days of early summer and he hoped he might eventually believe it when every instinct told him he had again been made a fool of With than 30 of his stories slated for publication in 2014 there s nothing foolish about Ken Goldman s writing He enjoys a solid following in the horror genre and after many years of hard work it s nice for us as his friends to see his writing career taking flight If you have the stomach for an ample helping of gore and profanity seasoned with a dash of romance and humor then perhaps Of a Feather might be for you English A cross between The Birds and Carrie this book was amazing to read For some strange reason it had the feel of a Young Adults book but it no way does it not merit being included in the Horror genre a brilliant original storyline and one that keeps you guessinggrimacing and giggling in all the right places English I loved this book very reminiscent of Stephen King and had me gripped very quickly. Book of a feather pdf There was definitely some room for a little gore English Anyone who reads this book that also suffers from ornithophobia will probably not want to leave their house for a week and I m sure they will suffer nightmares As the title suggests this book features birds all sorts of birds who are not our benign feathered friends But they are not really what this story is about it is about adolescence That confusing time in everyone s life where things never seem to go smoothly In fact sometimes events lead up to make things go horribly wrong. Of a feather humorist Of a Feather follows several central characters and one thing I really enjoyed about Ken Goldman s writing style was that he gives equal time to each one The reader gets to see the genesis of a psychopath everything that leads up to him becoming a monster On the flip side Goldman also shows what happens to essentially good people who are pushed too far And even though he is writing about a generation younger than my own Goldman manages to capture everything that is universal about being a teenager I think anyone of any age can relate to what these characters are feeling and thinking The technology and slang might be different but the emotional ups and downs will never change Goldman fleshes these characters out quite well as we follow along a bloody horror story that will continue to haunt the reader long after they put it down. Of a feather clue This is Ken Goldman s first novel but I hope it won t be his last This is a solid entertaining read and I m looking forward to seeing what else he will come out with in the future English Of A Feather.
