Review:Like french movies, this book was not about happy endings and a happy storyline. It was a sad, raw, human book. As much as I was disgusted by the actions of the some of the characters, I still enjoyed every minute of reading this book because the storyline is interesting and has a great flow. Read more

Review:I almost bought this edition before double-checking and, sure enough, I already have it: it is the famous "Completed by the Spirit-Pen of Charles Dickens" version. Which is also available in the "Droodiana" section of the Delphi e-edition of Dickens's Complete Works, along with three other versions from the 1870s. (My favorite is the earliest, the parody almost in the style of MAD magazine, "The Cloven Foot.") A printer, James self-published his version, which is an interesting one, even though ... Read more

Review:For first-time Murdoch readers, like myself, this novel is a bit of a chore. She seems to be square in the Post-Modernist camp on this one, challenging one's every sensibility through her odd assortment of characters that emerge from the pen of Charles Arrowby. This cynical English playwright is trying to piece his life together and has chosen a remote seaside town to pen his autobiography. Little does he know that an old flame had similarly migrated to this town, reawakening the sweet bird o... Read more

Review:Título: Uber trilogy
I don't know why this trilogy is not on more book lists and is not a blockbuster... It should be. It’s great for book club discussions as it brings many messages and lessons in a delightful, hot, intriguing, captivating and bewitching plot. Yes! All those words, yet not enough.

Review:This novel illustrates well the destructive power of vanity and selfishness. I find it more interesting when you consider the background of the author. His father died when Thackeray was six years old. As he was being sent back to England at that time, the ship stopped at the Isle of St. Helena, where Napoleon was pointed out to him wasting away in prison. When Thackeray finally received his father's inheritance at the age of 21 he squandered the money with gambling. Read more

Review:Emma Scott has yet AGAIN totally captured my heart and mind with her incredible writing, and pulled me into a book so completely that my world ceased to exist during the time it took me to finish.

That is not hyperbole.

In Harmony tells the story of Willow, a teenage girl carrying the weight of a traumatic experience, unable to trust in the people around her. Her parents don't notice her pain, and in fact, they castigate her for it. She is increasingly withdrawn, and doesn't think ... Read more

Review:So disappointed - bought this solely because it won a Pulitzer. Writing was heavy handed and the vocabulary condescending. Seriously, how many times is too many to use the work "bourgeoisie" in the first few pages. Compared to elegant Siddhartha, this book is a mess. Read more
