Summary of The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney by Instaread is a comprehensive analysis of the book. While all this is going on there is still time for a love triangle and lots and lots and lots of discussion about the habits of cockroaches. In October, Jack, Beatrice, and Melody Plumb, Leo’s three younger siblings, meet their brother… Summary of the book Important People Character Analysis Analysis of the Themes and Author’s Style With Instaread, you can get the key takeaways, summary and analysis of a book in 15 minutes.

The next morning, Allison wakes up hungover in her parked car and drives home, finding the house trashed after the party. There is a similar predictability in the choice of settings, which constitute a kind of sightseeing tour of New York City: here is Central Park looking lovely in the snow; next the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station; now let’s take a turn around the Museum of Natural History. As the moonshafts though the trees strike the man’s faster-pumping buttocks, the roaches begin to dine, finishing Bo … just as Bo ‘finishes’ with the forest floor! Rory attempts to downplay Allison's behaviour but his clients opt to go into business with Steve while cutting him out. The remaining cast struggle to obtain significance until the final 20% of the book, which is admittedly excellent.

However, Leo's reckless actions at a wedding party means that funds need to be withdrawn from the Nest prematurely. This is definitely something I don't see every day with your standard horror book - especially mainstream authors on the bestseller list. Second, although certainly informative to some degree, the detailed 'science' about the biology, etc.

This book has everything it needs: old sassy grandpa, tough-as-shark sailors, slimy overweight mayors, cute little children, suburban anarchists drugging it up, dated worldviews that seem almost overly dated to be comical but then it sticks with it and you don't know if the author is having a gag or actually kind of sexist and a little overconcerned at taking potshots at The Youth(tm) and their Modern Society(tm), New England fishing jokes, attractive college students, attractive scientists, dudes going on a rampage against some goshdarn roaches, forest fires, storms, abandoned lighthouses, discussions of heritage, middle-aged couples getting into drunken fights, dogs getting eaten by roaches tunneling through said dogs eyes into their dog brains.

If you are particularly squeamish, you might not have as much fun as the author did in these often-occurring sequences. Allison's relationships with her children also become strained when Sam makes some disreputable friends and Ben gets into a fight with some school bullies. It is my second read of the Paperbacks From Hell series and while it doesn’t quite which the depths in terms of its characters as When Darkness With Us does, it makes up for that in bloody, gory horror. A boom time for horror fiction, when spinner racks were filled with gaudy-covered paperbacks, riding on the coattails of stephen-king-mania. Like characters in a Nancy Meyers or Richard Curtis film, they are vivid, animated and ultimately anodyne.
