This book knocked me on my ass. The book is compromised of three novellas each covering 24-hour period in Patrick Melrose's life. The first, Never Mind, takes place in France and a group of adults is getting ready for a gathering at his parent's home. As in all of the volumes, very few of the characters have any noticeably redeeming qualities. They are upper-class snobs who have a gift in exchanging witty barbs. The most horrific character is Patrick Melrose's father, David, who is quite possibly one of the more hideous characters I have ever encountered in literature. In one incident, he asks his wife to get on all fours in front of guests and eat figs off the ground. This is after she states it is sad to see the figs go to waste. And annoyed with son's behavior, he decides to rape him. In the second novella, Bad News, Patrick, now a full-blown heroin and coke addict, goes to New York to collect his father's ashes. This is 24-hours of a cycle where Patrick ingests drugs and contemplates not ingesting anymore. "How could he ever hope to give up drugs? They filled him with such intense emotion." It is funny, agonizing, and at times difficult to read. The final novella, Some Hope, takes place eight years later and back in England, Patrick has kicked the drug habit. He is still moving in upper-crust social circles and in this novel is getting ready to attend a fete where Princess Margaret will be making an appearance. Also, he reveals to his friend, Johnny, also a recovered addict, that he was raped by his father at the age of five. The party scene is this one gets a bit boring and I think this might be the weakest part of the book, but not without merit. The revelation to Johnny in a high-end restaurant is beautifully crafted and again, amusing. And Johnny's Narcotics Anonymous meeting is fantastic. Sadly, this work was inspired by events in the author's own life. Yes, his father raped him and he was a heroin addict in his 20's. However, St. Aubyn's prose is fiercely funny, full of wit, and sadness. He is an exquisite craftsman. "Edward St. Aubyn's triology combines the ferocious wit of the best English comedy with the terror and pity of Greek tragedy. It is a stunning accomplishment." - James Lasdun

I randomly checked this title out from my library's ebook lending service. I hadn't read the first, so floundered a bit in some places but was highly entertained. I quite enjoyed the fantasy/alternate history for the regency era. It seemed like a fun twist on steampunk. The characters were well fleshed out and the story was well written.

A HUGE part of me would love to not like this book which is so set-up to be a "classic." This was on the shelf in my house with Pamela, A High Wind In Jamaica, Lord Jim and more. This shelf was behind one end of the couch, at eyelevel, so I was very aware of it and I think it was the "popular novels" shelf in my Dad's eyes. The copy of Catcher In The Rye we had had a drawing on the front of Holden in his beaverskin cap (is that what they call those things?) But Holden is such a well-realized voice, so likable that I think you would follow him to the ends of the earth. Wow, I just got deja vu--I'm pretty sure I've written a review of this before. Anyway, one big thing about me and this book was I never realized he was in the mental hospital until like Eveline or Sarah told me?? Funny and w/so many evocative scenes, my favorite of which I think was that girl (Jane?) and Holden playing checkers and her crying. Being a kid though is so overrated.

Sam Vimes travels in time and it's as wibbly-wobbly as any time traveller could want, and Sam Vimes is heroic. In fact we get a triple dose of Vimes, since his wife Sybil has gone into labour and he's mentoring his younger self in the past, asking himself the perennial question: "Was I ever that young?"

"The Fund" was recommended to me by a friend. If I had seen it in the book store, I would have passed it by as "not my thing" -- but I'm glad I took my friend's suggestion. Peter Jamison, the protagonist, is a high-ranking employee with a defense contractor. His project is scrapped and his entire team about to be laid off as a result. When he decides to go to bat for their jobs, he discovers a shadow organization funded by cost overruns from canceled projects -- and operating at the highest levels of government. Soon, his life is in danger as he delves further into the matter. Author Wes Demott (a former FBI agent) has put more twists and turns into the plot than you'd find in the Chartres labyrinth. It holds your attention from the first page, and the ending is completely unexpected. Recommended for fans of espionage novels.
