Book Description
From an author whose work has been praised for its "wit, subtle compassion, and an offbeat originality" (Boston Globe) comes a novel as unforgettable as it is compelling. An endearing blend of fable, fairy tale, and page-turner, The Watermelon King brings readers back to Ashland, Alabama--immortalized in Big Fish--a fictional town whose identity is based on its long-ago abundance of watermelons.
Thomas Rider knows almost nothing about his parents, only that his mother died the day he was born in Ashland. He travels there and interviews the townspeople, learning of the town's bizarre past. Most importantly, he learns about the Watermelon Festival, which at one time occurred annually and would symbolically ensure the continued fertility of the crop that sustained them--and how his mother came to destroy it. Piecing together his own identity, as well as that of the town, Thomas finds himself immersed in a series of events that turns everything he knows upside down.
Outrageous at times and heartbreaking at others, The Watermelon King is a vivid exploration of the power of history and of storytelling, of identity and myth. This novel is Wallace's most provocative and inventive work to date.

The Watermelon King.......2005-03-09
I'm a bit puzzled by the other, glowing reviews for this book--particularly by those that have previously read Big Fish. And, for those folks in particular, I have one question: Did you not recognise the SAME character recycled here?
Once again, the plot of this story is driven by an elderly Southern gentleman's predilection for telling ridiculously tall and unbelievable tales that result in dire consequences. It's the same, nearly exact character as found in Big Fish--or should I say, caricature? And that, really, is the main problem here--thinly sketched characters that borderline on cliché. Unfortunately, this holds true for the setting as well; you've all seen this American South before--in simplistic 'B' movies.
Additionally, I found the story's attempt at mysterious Southern Gothic lore to be tedious and a bit confusing--a shame, because this diversion seems to be one of the very things that, much like the wild and monstrous watermelon vines mentioned throughout, overgrows and chokes a story that, at the beginning of the novel, seems to promise big things.
If you've not read Big Fish (or seen the movie) give this a try--it's essentially from the same shelf--however, it is not a fully realised tale of it's own. It seems to be a product of one too many dips into the same well.
a major misstep.......2004-02-14
Having read Wallace's other material, I think it would be best if he stopped writing about Ashland completely. The characters in this book are just too simple to have any believability to them. The first part of this book is well-written and Wallace always has a knack for some great imagery. Nonetheless, this book just did not involve me like his others.
A must read.......2004-02-07
This book is a must-read, along with Jackson McCrae's Bark of the Dogwood and a new book titled The End of Blackness. All of these are stellar books--well-written and well thought out. Watermelon King rings true especially with its atmosphere and setting, dialogue, and believeble characters. A must!
Also recommended: The End of Blackness and Bark of the Dogwood
Another Fantastic Tale by the author of Big Fish.......2003-11-27
The Watermelon King is a lovely book -- funny,sad, and amazing. It reminded me a little of Marquez and Calvino, with a dash of Flannery O'Connor. I liked it so much I'm giving it an extra star -- here: *.
Unpredictable People.......2003-11-27
I enjoyed THE WATERMELON KING a lot. I enjoyed the way it kept happening on its own peculiar terms. My expectation as a reader is to encounter characters who are drawn according to a predictable and, at least for the purposes of fiction, a malleable psychology--in other words, characters who are in the business of not being themselves, or of not knowing what a self is. Of course Shakespeare didn't write this way, or Faulkner. Wallace's characters, too, are grandly or mythically motivated--not parsed out the way modern people like to think of themselves. These characters are what they are and they do the thing they are. They don't play at growth. It's quite nice to be taken into this pre-therapeutic and unsophisticated universe -- a fabulous universe if you will -- and be told a story about love, fertility, and the way we thrive on the story itself--the telling of the story, the passing on of the story, and ultimately, the tragedy of the story. WATERMELON KING is a work that sticks around.
Book Description
Though Chestnut Cove is a rather eccentric small town, it's usually the kind of place where folks stop and smell the roses. And everyone is always willing to help each other out. But when King Milford offers his entire kingdom to "whosoever grows the largest and juiciest watermelon by summer's end," the atmosphere in the village slowly starts to change. Everyone begins to daydream about what could be bought with the riches as they obsessively tend to their gardens. Mrs. Lark seems to be growing the largest melon, but Joe Morgan's looks pretty impressive, too. Will greed and watermelons ruin the friendly town of Chestnut Cove?
Customer Reviews:
This is a gem..........2007-08-21
I've used this book for a beginning-of-the-school-year story for many years now, and always find that my students are charmed by Tim's offbeat characterizations. There's a message here, no doubt about it; but it is presented in a gentle, humorous manner, and doesn't ever descend into the treacly sentiments that can be found in some children's books. As so many fine authors do, Tim Egan writes for children AND adults. There is no dumbing-down here. It's always hard to tell who enjoys this story more -- my students or me. If you want a subtle, yet pointed, story about Waging Peace and Cooperation, give this a shot. (And then try "Friday Night at Hodges' Cafe", if you haven't already.) And don't forget to check out his illustrations closely; you'll find names of his wife & sons, as well some fun details that add to the enjoyment.

Customer Reviews:
Ubermonkey says thumbs up!.......2006-10-18
THE GOOD: Somehow this book was better than the first, which I truly enjoyed. Here, Malus needs to rush off to the island of Skinriders in an effort to get another artifact that will separate his body and the evil daemon who is stuck inside. The Skinriders are beautifully described in all of their putrid glory. Abnett does an amazing job fleshing them out. The plot and subplots are wonderful. There is so much conniving and plotting in this book that you really begin to scratch your head and wonder who will come out on top. And Malus, oh Malus, he is at it again. Now in his second book he is somehow becoming likeable and that concerns me. I was pleased to see the introduction of a retainer named Hauclir who is not a sidekick, but is a perfect companion for Malus and the two play very well off of each other.
THE BAD: If I have only one complaint, it is that I wish there would have been more interaction beyween Malus and the daemon inside of him. Malus is such a bitter soul and you can just tell that there is nothing about being captive to a daemon that he likes. I would have liked to have seen more interaction.
THE UGLY: Skinriders...wow...the book is worth reading for them alone!
Ubermonkey says if you are in the mood for dark fantasy, this is the book for you.
Excellent!.......2005-12-26
Malus Darkblade is a dark elf warrior, ruthless and untrustworthy. Yet one battle led him to the treasure that would change his life forever, and NOT for the better. Malus Darkblade is cursed by a bestial abomination, the daemon named Tz'arkan. Malus has one year, four seasons, in which to seek out and bring back five unholy relics. If he does not, he will die. If he succeeds, the daemon will lift the curse. What Malus does not realize is that even should he succeed and the daemon keep his promise to lift the curse, things will never be the same again.
***** I had no idea that this Warhammer novel was actually all the Darkblade comics published thus far, collected into one convenient novel. I am so happy to have gotten this book! It is full of battles, gore, sorcerery, mayhem, and all the wonderful things Warhammer readers enjoy to the fullest! And remember, Malus Darkblade is a "dark elf warrior". No running off to save damsels in distress for him! Within these covers readers will find four complete books. Don't ask how many comics are within each book. I did not count. I was too busy enjoying the high rush of excitement that comes from Darkblade's adventures. The script is by Dan Abnett. The lettering and art is by Kev Hopgood. The cover is by Clint Langley. Very highly recommended reading! *****

The Measure of All Things Worth the Price of the Book.......2006-05-19
SF 7 is a good compulation worth reading. However, "The Measure of All Things" by Richard Chwedyk is exceptional and worth the price of the book all by itself. It has made me want to track down and read more Chwedyk to see if The Measure is a fluke or indicative of his usual work. Read this story! Especially if you are involved in animal rescue.
A Nice Anthology, But I Prefer The Dozois' Year Best........2003-03-27
I'm not a person who has the funds (and probably time) to keep up with all or most of the f/h/sf magazines and original anthologies. I could buy one (or more), certainly, but then I want to receive the others too. Also, I trust that most of the best stories will eventually make their way into book format, anyway. There's always a number of books that collect best stories of a given year; I settle for one of these and all the stories I then read will be brand-new to me.
Each year there are the gems waiting to be read. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer (editors of reviewed book) and Dozois (editor of the huge Year's Best SF Stories) are three of the finest editors around, each with his/her own ideas of what are the best stories of a given year.
But, I'm not an admirer of mass-market paperback books (such as the reviewed book is), as they are often made of cheap paper. Worse still is the binding.
Buy the Dozois Best of the Year if you want more stories for a somewhat higher price (but all packaged in trade paperback format). If only Hartwell's and Cramer's Best of the Years would come out in trade paperback, I would add them to my library without hesitation.
I love this annual collection.......2002-08-16
I just love this collection. I tend to not read sci-fi because so much of it is poorly written, but this series is wonderful, full of so many great things, and for the most part well-written "The Measure Of All Things" is the real stand out this year but even the slower moving stories end up with something that really stretches the mind. This series of anthologies bring back the wonder of the stories I was introduced to in my youth. My favorite yearly anthology.
An unexceptional gathering of current stars in the field.......2002-07-04
Hartwell's not a particularly adept editor. He's taken with a lot of star power and evidently lets a writer's prestige be the only criterion for inclusion in his anthologies. Most of these stories are competently written, but they lack spark, that sense of wonder that used to fill the field until about 15 years ago. It's like a lot of rock music these days: great talent with nothing much to say. How some of these stories made it into a "year's best" book is beyond me, but one thing is clear. The science fiction field is running dry. No story here has a decent (or even a twist) ending. Nothing here is genuinely memorable. I so much wanted these anthologies to be a counterpoint to the drab Dozois anthologies, but they aren't. If this is the best we can do, then I'd say we're in trouble. (And the sad part is that younger readers don't know how good science fiction used to be.)

Year's Best SF 7
Manufacturer: EOS/HarperCollins
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Hardcover
ASIN: 0739426923 |
Book Description
The increasing frequency of moralist critiques of television shows is an acknowledgment of television's growing role in the shaping of a culture's moral values. Yet many moralist critiques misconstrue the full moral message of a show due to a restrictive focus on sex, violence, and profanity. Televised Morality explores the nature of moral discourse on television by using Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a case study.

The eschatology of Buffy the Vampire.......2006-04-09
Stevenson's chapter citing eschatological themes in non other than the Buffy the Vampire television series caught my eye on line while painfully researching this topic for a graduate course. Stevenson blows past the narrow cultural traps of religiosity to examine the bigger picture for all of us, in doing so he beautifully demonstrates the heart aching truth that we all share, both religious and non, for being human, really well done. -rd
Thought-provoking........2006-04-07
The title says it all. Gregory Stevenson has written an insightful polemic, defending the television show, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, against all the criticism that claims the show lacks a moral compass or, more inaccurately, that the show is downright immoral. Stevenson, a theologian at Rochester College in Michigan, examines BtVS from every conceivable angle to show just how deeply moral it is, and how the question of morality pervades every episode. From the show's take on everything from family, religion, love, friendship, government and school, the author draws on his extensive knowledge of the stories to demonstrate just what a compelling "morality tale" Buffy the Vampire Slayer really is.
Erudite without being pretentious, informed without being pedantic, this is definitely one of the better books on this well-chronicled television show. Highly recommended.
Scholarly AND accessable.......2005-09-16
For a while now, I'd been looking for a decent book that would "break down" the Buffyverse and look at it from a highly educated perspective, while not requiring a PhD to follow the text. Check and check! I work in a university, and for kicks one day, entered "Buffy" into the school library search engine. Lo and behold, this book came up! And I've been devouring it ever since.
Dr. Stevenson (as the other reviewers note), is both an obvious (and unashamed) fan of the series, and a theologian. In this book, he uses his 260 page "pulpit" to clearly, concisely, and surprisingly thoroughly examine, and at times defend, the many, many levels of meaning in BtVS. From a discussion of the visual as metaphor, to Spike and the redeption cycle, to the meaning of family, to the place of the Judeo-Christian God in a series created by an avowed athiest, to a grey area discussion on philosopy and morals, he covers it all. Unlike other tomes which cover similar ground, this one is unique in being a complete work by one author using both fandom and thorough research as bases.
I applaud this work because it neither tries to turn BtVS into something it was not, nor does it take itself so seriously that it becomes dry. If you're a BtVS fan looking for a different and very well written take on love, morality, life, death, redemption, resurrection, and the Single Slayer, you won't be disappointed by this book.
Holier than most!.......2004-10-29
Although this book was written by a theology professor with an admittedly conservative Christian perspective, it's obvious to the reader that the author is a discerning fan of a fabulous television show (yes, I'm a fan too), a show that doesn't get the credit it deserves for presenting a highly moral viewpoint (in this case Judeo-Christian) to its audience. The author's stated point in writing the book was "to convince others of the complexity of moral discourse within popular culture" (p.261), and he certainly accomplishes that goal.
Professor Stevenson presents and then effectively counters many arguments against the merits of the show that have been advanced by naysayers who don't really "get" the overarching themes of the narrative, yet he doesn't shy away from criticizing "Buffy" when he deems it warranted, especially where matters of overt sexuality are concerened.
Stevenson has included the valuable perspectives of the creator, producers, and writers in describing their intentions when constructing individual shows and arcs, culling references from both print and online resources. (I do wish there had been more commentary from the actors included, but it could be argued that their input was secondary to the intent of those behind the scenes. Maybe there's another book in that.)
The author brings up so many cogent points and connections about and among the show's characters and themes (there were many times when this reviewer would think, "Hey, I never thought of that!") that, although I am far from a conservative Christian, the book was a joy to read for this "Buffy" fan.
Buffy? Moral? You bet..........2004-09-08
This book was written by a professor of religion at my alma mater - I actually saw it in the alumni newsletter and called the college bookstore to purchase it. I think the lady who took the call thought I was out of my mind, but she sent it anyway.
I've been fascinated by Buffy for years, shed tears when it ended, but (as a Christian) could never really explain why it was worthwhile viewing. It's not the violence and gore, the fangs and the horns, it's the moral message in the mix. You can't see it in one or two episodes; you have to be involved.
This book tells you why Buffy can be considered a 'moral' television show, when viewed consistently. Part doctoral thesis, part pop culture, this book deals with the ideas of subtext, metaphor, community, guilt, and redemption. The man has done his research - I learned more about the creator, writers, and producers of Buffy and their meticulous set up of the story than anything else. I give it a "4" only because it leans heavily toward academic writing, and if that's not your bag, you'll have a hard time getting everything out this book has to offer.

A Good Doll Furniture Resource.......2001-11-29
This is a great book for anyone looking to purchase doll house furniture from the 1950s-1980s. The chapters are by Doll Furniture Maker.
Many photographs are in color, and include approximate dates they were made/sold. The book includes an index with price guides (but remember the prices are from 1997).
Also has a nice chapter on the tin kitchen playsets.
The only flaw in the book is that it does not deal in the plastic furniture (that came with the tin lithographed doll houses) -- I had to use Tomart's Guide to learn about those.
