This was often confusing with no plot at all, but I suspect there wasn't meant to be. I absolutely hated that not only one character cheated but so did the other "MC". It might even bee that the other one cheated on not only his wife (the sister of the MC's lover) but also seemingly on his own boyfriend. The worst part being that they didn't end up together but planned to continue the liaisons. 1.5 stars rounded up because I save 1 star ratings for truly horrible books.

After reading it again, I can't quite decide if Prisoner or Azkaban is definitely my favorite of the Harry Potter series, but it is at least until I read the next one again. J.K. Rowling deepens the mythology of the characters and the world and continues to surprise. This is also the introduction to Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, my two favorite and two of the more interesting adult characters in the series. Beyond being just another adventure for Harry and his friends, this one turns darker and wraps up not quite so neatly as the earlier books, effectively setting up the rest of the series.

This book was ok. Not my favorite John Grisham book, but it kept me interested for my drive over for a couple of days.

I add here a second book from the much-acclaimed Scottish writer A.L. Kennedy. This novel, like Original Bliss (see below), exemplifies Kennedy’s trademark mixture of tenderness and something just this side of pornography. The plot is a bit too complicated to summarize briefly. Basically, Kennedy deals here with two themes: writers and the neuroses that both motivate and hinder (destroy?) them, and the relationship between fathers and daughters. The underlying premise of the second of these themes is a bit hard to swallow (a father was estranged from his daughter when she was very young and then establishes a close relationship with her much later without her knowing he is her father and this relationship lasts for years without her finding out the truth that everyone around her seems to know), it does allow Kennedy to explore the complexities of feelings that can exist between a father and a daughter, particularly when the daughter is the very image of a lost and much-loved wife. There is considerable warmth and passion in this story although the novel's obsession with writers and their traumas could be viewed as a bit too much navel gazing--but writers DO like to stare at their own navels! In the final analysis, though, I must raise an issue here that will surely get me excommunicated from any fellowship of serious readers. This book is 550 pages long, requiring a slow reader like me around fifteen hours to complete. Let’s arbitrarily say that this book brought me ten “enjoyment points.” That would be .67 points per hour. Now let's assume that a smaller book took me eight hours to complete and brought only six points. That would be .75 points per hour. Which would be the best investment of my readerly time? I can hear the protests, “How crude! Importing a productivity model into something as sacred as reading!” Well, damn it, I’m in Singapore as I write this and everything here is about productivity. How could the spirit of this place not infect me? My final judgment remains that this book is just too large and contains a fair number of unnecessary pages. Maybe Kennedy would justify the latter by saying that obsessions, such as preoccupy the central character in this book, need to be repeated over and over again for the sake of verisimilitude. Maybe, but “at my back I always hear times winged chariot drawing near.”

i have read and re-read (as is my habit) these stories, and i really only loved a few of them. my favorite is probably the first story, which also means i was a little disappointed with the rest of the book. three or four of the stories did make a lasting impression.

This book was beautiful! The world was beautiful! The descriptions of everything is so detailed and i like how everything has a scent. This book made me want to go to there i really wanted to walk those monochromatic path ways and see all there was to see.

I don't know if I can say anything about this book that hasn't been said already. No, it's not quite as CONTROVERSIAL as some people are making it out to be. If you're familiar with a respectable amount of classical Christian thought, you should have stumbled across many of these perspectives and arguments long before. Bell acknowledges as much in the preface. His approach is driven by questions, and he tests each possible answer, trying to follow them through to their ultimate conclusions – trying to honestly assess the consequences of each. I appreciate this about Rob. He realizes that God is not afraid of questions, so he lets them rain on down, even (especially) the ones that make other people uncomfortable to ask. And he paints a beautiful picture of the Jesus I know – the one so powerfully described in John 1, and portrayed throughout the Gospels. For my money, The Great Divorce is still the most coherent and useful book I've ever read on the subject of hell (despite being fiction!). But Love Wins is a great introduction to the theological discrepancies common in most Christians' understanding of the afterlife, and makes a compelling (and yes, Biblical) case for why we should actively rethink that stance.

A mixed bag: readers should definitely pick and choose essays that seem interesting, and jump around in the book, rather than attempt to read straight through from beginning to end. Had I been editing this collection, I would not necessarily have opened with a section on transformation through psychotropic-induced experiences. Articles on astronomy and mythic cosmologies elucidate theories of 2012 (fascinating stuff!), and an essay on Kubrick made more sense to me than anything I have ever read about the man's work.
