books by Michel Faber     books:       The Courage Consort1 review Michel Faber RB Large Print, 2005 From Publishers Weekly The loss of innocence, the urgency of sexual need and the persistence of inner demons unite these three fine novellas, further evidence of the wide-ranging imagination, ironic humor and incisive characterization Faber displayed in The Crimson Petal and the White. Siân, in "The 199 Steps," is working on an archeological dig in England when she encounters Mack, a gorgeous fitness buff. As Siân and ...             Middlemarch (Signet Classics)106 reviews George Eliot Signet Classics, 2003 A laugh-out-loud funny book about one serious lady! Masterpiece? Greatest English novel? Well, I don't know about that -- it's very good, but it's not perfect. But it is funny, and it's a page-turner. Our heroine, Dorothea, is an intellectual stuck in a very provincial town, and she just wants someone she can have an intelligent conversation with, and whom she can help do some kind of serious work. A very marriageble but not especially bright ...             Bajo La Piel1 review Michel Faber Anagrama, 2003 CREEPY...SINISTER...MACABRE...STUNNING... This is the Spanish text edition of a wonderfully inventive novel, "Under the Skin", which is strangely compelling. It cuts across many genres, as it certainly qualifies as literary fiction, horror, satire, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. It is extraordinarily riveting in its telling, propelled by a narrative that is all at once creepy, faintly sinister and macabre, as well as, at times, ...             Some Rain Must Fall9 reviews Michel Faber Canongate Pub Ltd, 2000 Falling For Farber Michael Faber first captivated me with his novel, The Crimson Petal and The White. In his collection of short stories entitled, Some Rain Must Fall he again demonstrates his flair for character development and incredibly descriptive writing. However, what struck me in this collection is that he writes about the modern day headlines that dog society. Obesity, eating disorders, violence in ...             Under the Skin1 review Michel Faber Harcourt, 2000 CREEPY...SINISTER...MACABRE...STUNNING...

Beautifully written in clear, spare ...             The Fahrenheit Twins1 review Michel Faber Canongate Books Ltd, 2006 Short stories with feeling. If you like short stories, this is an excellent collection. Some are throw aways, but most are gems. Read Andy Comes Home, and Serious Swimmers. I was in tears by the end of both of these stories. Their descriptiveness and depth were perfect for my imagination to see the world of these characters and their lives. I am a film major and plan on using one of these stories as my student film! ...             Die Weltenwanderin.1 review Michel Faber Kiepenheuer & Witsch GmbH, 2004 CREEPY...SINISTER...MACABRE...STUNNING...

While not a linear sequel, there are glimpses of the later lives of Agnes, William, Sugar and Sophie. Several short stories illuminate episodes from their lives, written in Faber's continuously brilliant style. The highlight is the final story in the collection, ...             The Crimson Petal and the White3 reviews Michel Faber HarperCollins Publishers Canada, Limited, 2002 Finally...

I'm a happy camper......Thanks!!!!             Under the Skin115 reviews Michel Faber Canongate Books Ltd, 2000 This is a great first novel . The story telling is strong and fluid and the twists and turns caught me off guard, which is not easy to do. I recommend reading it without any preconceived ideas about plot direction and ending. If you don't normally read first works, this will be a good exception to your rule.             The Crimson Petal and the White483 reviews Michel Faber Harcourt, 2002 Memorable and lush... It has been many years since I read this, and I still occasionally think on the characters as if they were people I once knew and wonder what's become of them. Often graphic, often disturbing, always consuming. Highly recommended. If you find endings which are even remotely ambiguous to be unbearable, then maybe it's not for you. The soft end to this is what has cemented it in my memory.
