The Time Traveler's Wife Audrey Niffeneger
The Time Traveler's Wife is to science-fiction as apples are to oranges, both fruit but all-together different.
Audrey Niffeneger is a supernova throwing light over the galaxy that is pop fiction.
Henry DeTamble is to Clare Abshire as the ocean is to marine life.

God's ProblemBart Ehrman
Bart Ehrman is to Biblical Criticism as Woody Allen is to Jewish culture
God's Problem is to evangelicals as spinach is to children
Ehrman's style is to the reader as David Letterman is to the viewer.

The RoadCormac McCarthy
The Road is to the apocalypse as "Fargo" is to Wisconsin.
"The fire" is to the man and the boy as gasoline is to an automobile.
This book is to "just a journey" as Oprah is to "just a talk-show host."

Stumbled on ergo a few weeks ago. funny stuff. I dont get aug bookmarks. Do you like them or what?
We're trying different approaches to reviewing books, so as to keep things fresh, and challenge ourselves. Every month's review will be in a style different from the last. Any ideas?
