Irving spends a lot of time with objects in this novel--an armadillo, a dressmaker's dummy, a baseball. I loved young Owen Meany and young Johnny Wainwright. The grown-up John Wainwright seemed one-dimensional to me, whining about Reagan-era politics. And I usually like politics. Not really your typical Irving: no bears, no wrestling, no Circus stuff.

This collection of short stories about the imigrant and Indian-American experience is almost always beautiful and often quite sad. It's been several months since I first read this book and several of the stories still stick clearly in my mind. This book was chosen to be part of the "One Book, One Chicago" series, which invites the city of Chicago to share the same book at one time, showing the book's power at reaching beyond those interested or familar with Indian culture.

I loved this book! Jonathan Philips describes the events leading up to the Sack of Constantinople with perfect clarity. Supported by a plethora of facts and a clear writing style this book is an excellent account of the Fourth Crusade

Loved this book, a real interested insight to the all american dream. Life is never perfect, even if it is perceived to be that way!

This book was passed between me, my two sisters, a friend and my mom in about a week. We each flew through it and talked about it for days afterwards. Although the second half of the book lacked what the first part did, it's a must-read - at least for people not prone to nightmares.
Evans is a madman and an egomaniac, but he still has some of the best stories of old Hollywood around.

** spoiler alert ** I read this a long time ago. I thought it was very good, as all books in this series are. Towards the end of this series, particularly book five and on I felt like there was a lot more aggression in the characters, like they were always angry, and the happy, fun loving characters from the first four books were gone. I suppose that is genuine though, as anger is a part of any adolescence, not to mention one filled with the problems of Harry and his friends. This particular book was strange for me, the way it was written, separate from Hogwarts, the primary setting of the previous books, was so changed from the normal feel of these books. Them in hiding in the woods, running, feuding against each other at times, keeping secrets, it felt SO different. The characters are growing up, and trying desperately to reconcile the battle between their two top priorities, save the wizarding world, and friendship. Sometimes these two priorities are at odds with each other, and that leads to the splitting off of paths. But luckily they almost always forgive, and reunite. I actually didn’t get the whole Harry-Ginny story line and wish that had gone a different direction. For Ginny to be such a shy, weird, mostly unimportant character in the first books, who happens to have a crush on her older brother’s friend, and then for it to turn into this huge romance, and eventually marriage was not that realistic for me. Although, this is how many fans predicted and wanted it to be, in fact most fanfiction Harry pairings are about the two. I guess I warmed to Ginny’s character after a while, seeing how brave she was, and how witty and involved she became in situations like the corridor of mysteries, but it felt like she was two different characters, the one I knew in the first four books, and then a totally different character in the last three. This book was sad for character loss. I should really read the book again because I read it too fast the first time, racing to find out what happens in the end of this incredible adventure that has been inexplicably intertwined with my childhood. I grew up with these books and the final installment was the end of an era. It was like, I was reading them in middle school, and the last book came out right after I graduated. Everything changes; everything comes to an end, but in the case of this book mostly happily.

Over-rated. I expected an historical mystery of the caliber of LeCarre or Arthur Conan Doyle, and I found instead a hi-falutin' DaVinci Code, without the fast paced plot.

I was loving this book until about 60 or 70 pages from the end when it just seemed to run out of steam. The ending just didn't match the momentum of the rest of the book. But it is a page-turner until then and I learned a lot about American history incidentally.
