Other than seeing unemployment rates up high Were they still even working at this point Did the number of house fires increase due to people trying to cook in their houses for the first time instead of going out for dinner Did they pull granny off her meds and send her on her merry way I think they could have been a short segment on random things like this Think Stephen King s the Stand where he spends a chapter telling of how people survive the illness only to die weird ways I really liked the segment that was like the short newspaper clips on of bad news in the US I would have enjoyed of this scattered in the book.

But I just didn t get that feeling at all Especially since the dialogue of the story is void of this type of talk The Story of Noah is interesting and felt real The people he meets have depth to them but you re not bogged down by the language of the text or descriptions This book makes a big statement and it feels real You can sense an impending doom to Noah the US that gets closer and closer as the story gets bizarre I wished the story had been longer because I had been really vested in Noah and seeing what the government was going to do next And I think the story could have been longer without it becoming overbearing or boring.

Book Blinders keepers heart So the book s antecedents here are the Beat Generation the Hippies the Yippies and the drop outs along with the radical and somewhat violent groups such as the Panthers the Weathermen and the domestic militias Ironically Noah s status as cult hero even though wrongly accused makes him new best friends with all such unhappy folks. Travel Blinders keeperstop If your own personal or political unease craves company in a noirish narrative about how wrong things could go you ll find commiseration here As for me I d say the glass is half full but I suspect Mr Rachel would start his measurements at the top of the glass so high were his ideals and perhaps his patriotism before he got well disaffected Fiction Philosophy Travel This is my latest novel With humility and total objectivity I think it is the greatest book written since Franz Kafka started doing standup comedy I will be shocked if it doesn t replace the Bible as the best selling novel in history Of course it has fewer characters than the Bible and does not feature God who I wanted to include but couldn t because His lawyers refused to give me rights to His story But this should be a plus considering what an unwieldy mess the Holy Book is Talk about needing an editor This will be my last work of dark satire for a while I m trying to convince the board here that I am rehabilitated and should be given at least some grounds privileges This padded cell is really confining even with the leggos and the 5000 piece Andromeda Nebula puzzle I can t even get a signal with my iPhone 5 which probably doesn t matter since they have the battery stored in a safe with my wallet and my Justin Bieber fan club membership card.

Travel Blinders keeperstop Thank you to the author for letting me read your novel and my giving a honest opinion of the read Fiction Philosophy Travel Although never explicitly stated Blinders Keepers is set in contemporary times call it the very near future It s satirical and definitely has its moments For example the sitting President of the US can string together clich s while saying nothing as well as any politician you ve ever seen Or the description of an odor as unlike anything Noah had ever encountered having never exhumed a person from a grave or stuck his head inside the bloated anus of a cow that had been rotting in the sun for several weeks However it also has some issues A fair number of errors that weren t caught in proofreading is one Mysterious happenings around the country and massive social changes occurring in a short amount of time that stretched my ability to suspend disbelief without explanation or justification for how they were happening Eventually I managed to just take it on faith and go with the story but it was a struggle to get there There were minor issues as well including stating that it was supposed to be impossible to determine your approximate location if you visited a website This is actually fairly trivial and has been for some time Or the protagonist knowing that something was fake with no way for him to have figured that out However by its nature I think satire gets leeway than most genres in straying from reality and by the last half of the book I was engrossed in Noah s adventure in spite of the flaws Originally written for Books and Pals book blog May have received a free review copy Fiction Philosophy Travel

Overly forced pop culture references everywhere Plot holes not to mention parts of the plot just being unrealistic Very cliched phrasing Fiction Philosophy Travel This book is exceptionally well written Superbly interesting with twists and humor that makes you think about the commonly accepted realities of our lives John Rachel pounds out such amazing analogies and ridiculous realism it is easy to get lost in his satirical world Extremely funny wonderful plot wonderful comments on life You will laugh and cringe all in the same note The absurdities are told in such hilarious detail that I couldn t help but laugh out loud and draw stares from strangers in our deli during my breaks I d look up daring them to ask me what was so funny If you would like to have your belief structures and social conventions challenged by one of the new voices around I highly recommend this book If you want to be a spoon fed conventional blubber stick with the bestseller list Fiction Philosophy Travel As I stated before finishing this book brillant Faciinating to read Packed to the hilt with similies maetaphors humor satire insanity cruelity parody sex power and the plain truth of our world situation. Blinders Keepers booking The author recapitualtes a cartoon scene from within the beginning of the story giving it an entirely different ending A surprise reversal that mirrors how our present desolate state of affairs can change This book sure tickled my funny bone the final scene is indelibly stamped in my consciousness Fiction Philosophy Travel Satire at its best The intertwining of Noah s adventures along with the political atmosphere of the white house has an intriguing pull that makes you just want to keep reading I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and found myself reading sections to my husband and friends It led to some great discussions Will definitely be reading by this author Fiction Philosophy Travel I was offered a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review I had fun reading this book I was torn between a 3 and a 4 star rating I think a book that makes a statement about the government and its awful way of handling itself combined with terrorism violence broken economy all wrapped up in a nice coat of satire makes for an interesting read While I liked the overall writing style and the feel of the story there are some rough parts There are parts of the story where the flow is a little off I really liked the mix of Noah s story interchanging with parts about the government media what s going on else where segments but sometimes the placement seems off Noah is traveling by car and he briefly mentions how expensive gas is I would have preferred seeing a spike in the prices earlier on like near 20 bucks a gallon Rachel does mention a little later on that this how bad things are but I think the placement feels off already being informed in Noah s story the state of things on a national level seems almost redundant If this part was before then all we had to know was the total Noah had spent before the car stops working. Blinders Keepers book What are people doing I mean actually doing We know inflation and the horrible change to the gold standard really messed things up I would have liked to know what people were doing especially because it ties it all together This Segment in the story really doesn t fit with anything else but I still really liked it However I think the part of the story that I really didn t get had to be all the pop culture references I really don t think all these references fit at all in this story Not only does it feel really dated as in in 5 years will the media still be so hyped up on Kim Kardashian but it also it just doesn t make sense Noah is from Nowhere Missouri who gets in a crowd of sorta hippies druggies anarchists etc None of the people would makes jokes and metaphors based on celebrities but the author is There are just so many of these little jokes that fall flat I think these jokes could have been purposeful and made a statement being satirical on the situation Maybe Rachel was trying to make a joke that when everything falls to utter crap we still think about our celebrities and it s not good This is nothing like that the structure of the story has a solid start and continues to grow I laughed aloud and I felt sorrow And lots of anger And the absurd story is funny but true It has a lovely flow of satire where your laughter makes you cringe. Philosophy Blinders keepers milford My rating I liked this book better than my other 3 star rated books such as On the Road by Jack Kerouac but it didn t captivate me like my 4 star rated book Jailbird by Kurt Vonnegut And incidentally this book is a nice mix of both stories This story falls in the middle of a 3. Blinders keepersschool groningen 5 But because it has it s a unique story and I read it so near 9 11 and the relevance this story has to our post 9 11 world I decided to round up to a 4 A quick fun read so give it a try Fiction Philosophy Travel .
