This week for The Friday 56 I picked a quote from a book I already read and reviewed (Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse by A.L. Kennedy). You can check out my review for it HERE.
Synopsis from Goodreads...
“I shall make you the jewel at the heart of the universe.”
Something distinctly odd is going on in Arbroath. It could be to do with golfers being dragged down into the bunkers at the Fetch Brothers’ Golf Spa Hotel, never to be seen again. It might be related to the strange twin grandchildren of the equally strange Mrs Fetch–owner of the hotel and fascinated with octopuses. It could be the fact that people in the surrounding area suddenly know what others are thinking, without anyone saying a word. Whatever it is, the Doctor is most at home when faced with the distinctly odd. With the help of Fetch Brothers’ Junior Receptionist Bryony, he’ll get to the bottom of things. Just so long as he does so in time to save Bryony from quite literally losing her mind, and the entire world from destruction. Because something huge, ancient and alien lies hidden beneath the ground and it’s starting to wake up…
"Agnew flip-flopped along the relentlessly calming corridor with its tranquilly scented incense burner, its photographs of placid lakes and its carefully positioned speakers softly playing the songs of whales who, if he could have understood them, were actually having a quite heated argument with each other about herring."--Doctor Who: The Drosten's Curse by A.L. Kennedy

I actually really loved The Drosten's Curse, it was a lot of fun to read. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend! :)
DeleteLove the description and humor in this excerpt.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty.
That was my reaction when I first read it. Have a great weekend. :D
DeleteThis one sounds both funny and whimsical. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteThere was a little humor to it, but there was so much going on that there wasn't much time for it in the rest of the novel. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend. :)
DeleteI've not read or watched Dr. Who before, but it has been recommended to me by many!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I've actually watched Doctor Who but The Drosten's Curse was the first one of the tie-in novels that I've read. And I have to say that I was really impressed with it. I want to eventually get more of them. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend. :)
