This book took me so long to read! I think I was just too caught up with school stuff but once I got into it, I thought it was interesting. Nothing too great but it would probably be really cool if you actually knew a lot about Dante and the other historical characters in the book. Creative stuff and at the end I was excited to find out who did it!

This novel, superficially and fundamentally, is a novel about a pair of people who have spent too much time together and have therefore become strangers to one another. There is nothing new in this and it was an especially popular subject in the era in which it was published (the selfish 60s, the solipsistic 70s). But how it's handled, this oft and over plowed ground, is why it's read (in this case) still. Fox has written, in Desperate Characters, a novel that is all frustration and disappointment -- without ever making the reader (in 1970, 1980, in 2000 or 2050) feel frustrated or disappointed.

From the moment I first saw an ad for this book in Newsweek, I just *knew* I'd love it. There was actually very little that I didn't like - in fact, the only thing that comes to mind is the translation (the translator had a tendency to sometimes use words/phrases that were a bit too modern, and therefore pulled the reader out of the 17th century). I don't normally *do* mysteries, but this one, with echoes of "The Name of the Rose," totally won me over. It'll be quite some time before I stop thinking about Kuisl, Simon and Magdelena.

Christine Lee is a Sophomore in high school. This young lady has a love of art and she wants to be a famous painter one day. It's been a year since Christine Lee's mother died in an automobile accident and even though she no longer acts out by dyeing her hair bold colors she is still grieving. Christine's dad is about to marry Candace and the last thing Christine wants is for another woman to take her mother's place. This is the second book in The Miracle Girls series. In the first book, Zoe was the one who thought it was important to start The Miracle Girls, but in this book it's Christine who seems to care most about the group. She sees them as the only family she has since her mother died. It's the first day of school when the story begins. The Miracle Girls enjoyed each other's company over the summer (So here are the Miracle Girls, after an incredible summer together, parked under the big "Sophomores" sign/pg 1), and, according to Christine, they were close then. But since the authors didn't let me in on what happened with Ana, Zoe, Christine and Riley during those months, I couldn't really get how The Miracle Girls became closer since the first book. It would have been nice to know exactly what it was that made their relationship `special' as Christine called it. In the first book they had just become The Miracle girls. In this one they don't spend as much time together as I thought they would. When Christine referred to Candace as a `Bimbo' in the first book, I thought that was unkind but then I figured she must have had her reasons; maybe she was being mistreated. That wasn't the case at all. The madness at home seemed to be in her own mind, because she didn't like that Candace was there. But Candace seemed to be doing what she could to get along with Christine. Now, I did understand the pain Christine was feeling because she had lost her mother. And I could understand that she didn't want another woman to marry her father, but Christine could be so cruel. What she talked Emma into helping her with when they were at Bloomingdales, for instance. Christine thought it was funny but I was not amused. All I could think of was how hurt Candace was going to be when she found out what they had done and I felt so bad for this woman. It seemed Christine wasn't clear how her actions affected other people. I didn't think I'd feel this way, but I liked Christine better in the first book when she wasn't talking much. She wasn't putting up with Candace in this story; Candace was putting up with her. Christine claimed to be an adult, but she was acting like a child. She needed to learn that everything is not about her. Christine used to go to church regularly, but after her mother passed she had a problem believing in God. Or did she? At one point she wished she believed in God and about one-hundred fifty pages later she says that God enjoys watching us suffer. First of all, that's not true. But didn't she say she didn't believe in God? She also said she hates church. It seemed she was angry at God and that happens. This too shall pass, I hope. I also hope that she will stop calling herself a freak and that she will work on her relationships with her father and her new mother and her new sister, Emma, and not keep believing The Miracle Girls is her only chance at having some kind of life. It's great to have friends -even though I really didn't see the closeness of these four girls until the end of the story - but Christine will never need The Miracle Girls the way she'll need her family; particularly her father. No, James Lee didn't have a clue about what his daughter needed for a while there but he's working on it. I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about Christine and, even though I didn't like some of the things she did, I can't say she's an unlikable character. She's a teenage girl with issues and I hope she'll be able to work through them. Now, Ana. I don't know about this one. There's a time to speak and a time to be quiet. Ana wasn't clear on that in the first book and she still doesn't get it. And does being a part of The Miracle Girls mean that one can run another's life? In the first book Ana had problems with her mother, but she seems to be just as controlling. I'll have to buy the next book to see what happens next with these girls.

Awesome, Im in love with both, Natalie and Denbury. He was really sweet, and she was a complete kickass.. :D I normally dont really like female prots *ehem* Katniss, Bella *ehem* But Natalie was brave, and smart, and awesome. And she really wasnt moppy at all... (Even though she had every reason to be). It was also beautifully told. I'd really like to read more books like this one. The fact that "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" is one of my favourite books notwithstanding. Denburylicious ;)

"But now I see that he is not meek and bowed at all -- or only outwardly -- that really inside himself he is alive and yearning for all sorts of things beyond his reach. It shows mainly in his eyes which are beautiful -- full of melancholy and liquid with longing." ...need I say more?

I get the feeling that when de la Cruz started off this series, she didn't really know where she was taking it. These last few books have a completely different feel to them. The character development is immense: from petty high-school incidents to huge earth-shattering decisions. I mean, there were so many characters in the first book to take care of, and Lost in Time only focused on a select few. Lost in Time was written in three points of views: Schuyler's, Allegra's, and Mimi's. I don't like Schuyler, or Jack, or Allegra. So that meant having to suffer their inane, boring tales to get to Mimi's. And I do like her, a lot. She's a lot more interesting, a lot more flawed, and all in all a lot more relatable and likable. (view spoiler)

This was one of my favorite books that we read in high school.
The sequel just wasn't quite as good. There was also the solving of the main plot twist with a bit of fluff that just didn't have a good explanation to it. It kind of flounced. Otherwise, it was another mayhem filled ride.

Ahhhh -- escapist reading --- just what I needed. At the library the other day, I walked down the romance aisles twice, looking for a fat book (I'm a fast reader) .. and this is the only one that called to me - and it wasn't fat! I didn't realize I was reading the last book of a series, however the book held it's own. It was light, sexy, romantic, everything I wanted from a romance novel.
