Does anyone else here notice that Frank writes like a girl?
No offense to him, he is a smashing author, it just seems feminine, like if his name weren't on the cover of the first book in large letters, I'd totally think it was a girl.

[Molly_Madigan]

Hee Hee! I was just talking about this with someone earlier! XD
I love it! Lol

but his writing style is totally feminine.

[Crimsonine]

lol it's true, people who read it at my school are like, "what are you talking about?", so it might be unique to be able to have that distinguishing between feminine and masculine writing.
I mean, it's violent enough (in my opinion) to be masculine, but the way he writes is just... girly.

[Molly_Madigan]

Well, I write in a feminine style and I still have violent scenes.. so I don't necessarily think the violence adds to masculinity or femininity.. Its more of the choices of words he uses. The way he strings sentences and paragraphs together.

In Seeing Redd the word choices and sentence structures are defiantly more masculine than in the first book.

Why do I find it funny the currently more Redd-centric book would be that way, while the more Alyss-centric book would have people finding it more feminine?

Hee. Redd sure does wear the pants, that's for sure *cough*arch*cough*

Heh heh.. I loved that.. Made Kathy and I giggle for half an hour and not be able to read.. we kept saying it back and fourth to each other.. XD

Ohyes. I had to stop reading for a few minutes myself...joked with the fiance' that he'd have to come up with an Arch costume just so I could say that line ;D

[Alyria_Bella]

i got to agree with Her Imperial that frank wrote more like a girl when he wrote a book centered around Alice/Alyss but the Book that went more towards redd had a little more backbone

[The Dark Hatter]

me too. the 2nd was much more intense.

And that is JUST the way I like it *hops on throne*

Darn. I lack red smilies. All I have is this: :mad:

I guess it would be funnier, however, to say that this IS my happy face.


In fact, that's going in my signature.

Well for one thing, Alyss strikes me as a total girly-girl. And Redd (she's my favorite character btw...if you wanted to know :) ) is more mature and actually knows what she wants to do. Alyss is just going with the flow, or she was in the first book.

Ugh, I really hate Alyss, but her and Dodge better get together. He's a keeper.

I know this is going to rile up a few people, but I don't see Redd as being more mature. She actually seems as if she hasn't got a chance to grow up and is still stuck in a child-like fantasy of revenge.

and I can't remember what I was planning on saying exactly.. so I'm going to stop typing and go away.. lol

(got distracted by my mother's Wii.. O.o)

[Timkeys]

sorry if this offends you guys but hey its a great book and i love everything about them, but you get kinda obsessive. makin costumes and pretending to be these people. kinda creepy

[Mad Hatter Madigan]

I discussed this with Molly Madigan...

There more emotional progression than technical feel...

I do believe a Frank (Frankie) Beddor is a woman...

[are_you_seeing_redd]

Haha sometimes I wish I was in Alyss' shoes...not only would I get Dodge, but I'd get to meet everyone in the book...some people get ALL the luck :(

If you were in Shakespeare everyone you liked or was interesting would die. (If you were too likable a character you would die as well).

If you were in Poe, you would suffer a fate worse than dying... then maybe die...

If you were in Lovecraft, you would end up a raving lunatic. Insanity would strike you in unfavorable ways. In the Mental ward or Morgue, by the end of the book... and the deaths are never pleasant..

If you were in a Lewis Carroll story, nothing is certain, you are here, there, and everwhere. You could can change size, turn into a pig, lose your name, walk on walls...
Tables and chairs would talk to you, and animals would wear suits and hats.
Time works backwards, and he is an actual person... yeah...
You're probably better off in a Lovecraft book...

Haha I'd still go for Carroll's story...it's just a strange yet ....well strange story that I'd kill for ..... I wonder what it would have been like if he HADN'T done mushrooms while writing the book...

He's not, unless you count the occasional 'thinking female'.

:)

[Molly_Madigan]

Thank you very much. I do like to be called names. I don't mind that you think I'm kind of obsessive.. its all part of how people see me. And just because I Like to make clothes and translate that into costumes does not make me obsessive.. at least not for the book, maybe for clothes design though..

thanks for the Creepy comment though, I get called that alot. ^_^
But only in a fun way.. Lol

[Her Imperial Viciousness]

Offended? No.

Curious as to why you'd consider costuming/cosplay to be creepy? That I think is more accurate.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I am not against countering with a "why?"

....and if you believe that -I- seriously consider myself Redd? I have some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you :)

So great! Oh, BTW, if anyone wants to call me by something else, the only other Internet alias is Nura.. so you can call me Nura if you'd like. ^_^:D

[LynierTortile]

You know I do alot of cosplay mostly due to the friends I tend to be around. Molly knows this very well seeing as she gets to dress me as she sees fit on occasion. I don't see cosplay as creepy or anything.

However, if it is creepy.... should one discourage dress-up? Hmmm....I know I won't.

I find it quite enjoyable even if sometimes the cosplay makes a person drastically change appearance, even to the point of switching genders (which has happened to me on occasion).

I really think I lost the point of what I was trying to say. Maybe I shouldn't try watching a movie when I'm typing. hmm...

[Her Imperial Viciousness]

If this is creepy, there are an awful lot of creepy people out there. Just look at Cosplay.com.

DONE IT! *hand raises*

The dressing as a guy thing, I mean. Three times. Once for Lucius Malfoy, once for Vampire Hunter D, and once for Prince Lotor.

If you get the last one, that's coolness :)

[Molly_Madigan]

Prince Lotor,, I know that name.. O.o

For some reason my brain keeps poping up white hair and blue skin... O.o

OOH Now I'm jealous! All I have to drink is Lipton's Lemon flavored Iced Tea...and it's gross...ugh.

YAY KOOL-AID!! Oh yeah!

[Molly_Madigan]

Lol, Kool-aid is the best-est. ^_^

And yeah, the Lipton crap is just that.. crap. lol

LOL I just got done making a half a gallon...Yummy!

No kidding! They should get sued for making the worst iced tea ever :rolleyes:

[Flitting_Shadow]

me too. the 2nd was much more intense.

I haven't read the second book yet--thanks to those display centers in bookstores that only show the first in the series, misleading you to think the sequel hasn't been printed yet--so it's nice to know that the second book is not as light as the first. In the first book, it seemed as if potential lines of emotion and whatnot were frequently left out; although there was certainly enough humor.

The second book is quite good, but It didn't seem as if the lines of potential emotions were left out of the first one..

At least not to me. There was plenty there, for a first book. The second does build onto it, but emotion is always there when you read it. (or maybe its Just 'cause I'm a bibliophile with too much time on my hands and I read into things a bit much when it comes to emotion. meh, either way.. lol)

[Flitting_Shadow]

Hehe, maybe. I might just be used to reading first person books as of late; and I guess third doesn't really get into it as much as I'm accustomed to. =]

And now to type so I can actually post. Stupid post length thing..

[Molly13]

I really did notice the difference in styles between books, and really enjoyed the descriptions that Frank writes in in both books. They seem to be getting darker...
