Alice Puccioni alicepucci7639 — Fiction. 44-year-old William lives in Boston, sells real estate, and is maybe in love with his best friend Edward. So, disclaimer, I found The Object of My Affection so boring I had to read it twice, just to make sure it was actually as bad as I remembered. It was. But in my unrelenting optimism (evident only here, in the part of me that deals with books), I decided to give McCauley another chance. I liked this book much better! It has no chapters, only titled section headings, which gives it a casual, modern feel. The writing is light and smooth with moments of dry humor and it's very easy to read. That's the good. On the bad side, the characters are hard to connect with because they're all underdeveloped and disaffected. Even William, who I wanted to like, was giving me nothing. The book has no heart; it's withholding in exactly the right way to keep me reading, hoping for a hint of a lasting emotional connection between two characters, any two characters, but it never delivers. The book ends about ten pages too soon! Damn you, McCauley! Finally, the story is set a year after 9/11 and I don't like how trivial that comes off. It's like background noise, or a song playing on the radio meant to evoke an era, like, "Oh, I remember that!" The problem is, all the things he's pointing out as post-9/11 artifacts are still things we're living with today; he's not saying anything new about it. Edward, the one character who, as a flight attendant, was most directly affected by the events of 9/11, has all his breakdowns off-stage, which to me suggests that the author wasn't at all interested in seriously dealing with the fallout of 9/11, he just liked it as set dressing. Three stars. The prose is good and the story is cohesive, if plodding. I liked it better than The Object of My Affection, but it still doesn't deliver an emotional climax. In fact, it might be lacking any kind of climax at all, but it's a quick, mostly fun, read.

Tharish Ali tharish — This is a book I can only read a chapter here and there, but is really good and I am learning a lot!

Brendan Stromberger bstro — This is a strange novel I have some problem to identify: I don't understand if the chaos is volutary of it is the fervid mind of the author that needs to settle down. Gabriel is an abused child. His father is a cop so he doesn't think he could have an help to resolve his problems. When he is 18 years old, after the last beating, he thinks to killing himself but a gentle neighboor convinces him to fly away. He goes to New York, thinking to became a yaoi writer: he is gay and he loves to read yaoi novels, he loves the romance he finds in it cause he has no experience by himself. When he arrives in the city everything seems too simple: the taxi driver from the station finds him a suitable apartment, the first day he finds a good job and he has some money. But then everything crash down: he is suspected to be involved in a children trade and Alejandro Cardoza, the detective in hold of the case, is sure of his guilty. But he is also very attracted by this young man and seems helpless to stay far from him. Everytime he can he beds the boy and the soon after he try to find some clue of his guilty. Gabriel is a naive character. He seems ignorant of everything happens around him, he is convinced that all depensd on his fly from home. He is not able to lie, everytime he tries soon after he bursts in tears. Alejandro most of the time seems to be drive by his desires and not by his brain, but maybe he needs to listen to his desires, cause if he listens to his brain he only come out with unbelievable plot with Gabriel as villain. The supporting characters are intriguing: don't miss the old armenian or the italian landlady. The sex scenes between the two are very yaoi style, with Gabriel in the role of the shrinking violet and Alejandro in that of the dark lover: one of the main reason I bought this novel is the gourgeous cover by Eiris Key, that give you a perfect idea. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018ZS44A/?...
