This, the final installment of Jacqueline Carey's Naamah Trilogy is, unfortunately, my least favorite of her three-trilogy compilation in the "Krushiel-Naaman" world. It just seemed to fall a little flat. She usually has me riveted, but I found myself speed reading through the descriptive sections and skimming the "and we traveled a lot" sections, of which there were too many. I can't put my finger on why this one did not grip me, but it did not. Having said that, however, Jacqueline Carey's worst effort far surpasses the average. She still writes beautifully, and I will always be a fan. I think the crux of the problem might have been that she simply ran out of material for this world. Nine doorstop novels is more than enough, and I hope she moves on. Looking forward to picking up her new work.

This book provides you with an amazing insight as to why women behave and react the way we do. It's not suggesting that women are in any way differently abled than men, but it gives you a basic blueprint of the female brain from birth to adulthood. It's true that the author (an MD) has not conducted a traditional research study, but she runs a health clinic that specifically caters to women, so a lot of the book comes from her work with patients over the last 20 years or so. The hardest thing in the world is to truly "know thyself," but this book is a good starting point.

What a huge disappointment. I am predisposed to enjoy this kind of book. I love to travel and to take the roads less traveled. I've been to many places in America and I throughly enjoy exploring everywhere I haven't yet been. Back in High School, I would read Michael Crichton's Travels, some parts many times over, just imagining what it would be like to be able to visit the places he wrote about. Since then, I've read quite a few recollections of random journeys...and I can safely say that Blue Highways is the worst of them. The author takes his trek around the forgotten parts of America after the failure of his marriage and the loss of his teaching job. He decides to drive all around the country in his van (named Ghost Dancer), just taking the back roads, which used to be labeled blue on maps. To find himself? To look for "America?" To get a better perspective on his lot in life? I don't know, and he never quite says. He starts the journey angry and bitter and those emotions never change. William Least Heat-Moon supposedly speaks with many of the people that inhabit these small towns, and yet he might as well have just spoken with one of them. Each and every person he finds to chat with "sounds" exactly the same. They all talk in a short, clipped way. No matter what the background or biography, they all have a folksy wisdom-y way of getting their stories across. The same lack of sentence structure, the same lack of pronouns, et.al gets old fast. Moon also seems less than honest and forthcoming about his intentions towards his subjects. For a while, he seems to keep the fact that he's going to be writing a book about the people he talks to a secret. He will say he's "just passing through," for example, keeping it mysterious. He will chat with someone for dialog-heavy pages, and then move on. But then... there's the middle of the novel, which has pictures of some of these folksy people. So obviously he told his subjects far more than he is telling us. For example: after chatting with some guys who are hang-gliding, they randomly invite him back for dinner and drinks to talk about hang-gliding. According to Moon's account, he barely says three sentences during all of this, and those words are all about the hang-gliding. The suspension of disbelief is constantly tested in this way. The reason this is a problem is there is no other reason for Moon to be out where he is, having the conversations he's having other than for the purpose of the book. For a contrast, take Bill Bryson's work. Bryson also travels and writes about his experiences. And yet, be it Australia, England, or backpacking on the AT, each experience he relates feels far more authentic --even when Bryson might be exaggerating for comic effect. The people he meets seem like individual people and the reason for his interactions come directly and logically out of his circumstances. It would also help if William Least Heat-Moon was a likable person; someone we could get behind and enjoy this journey with. Alas, he's a miserable bastard at his worst and just a depressive bore at his best. Every one of his encounters results in the opportunity for him to either chat with "someone" or be highly critical of what he is witnessing. There's no big insight, no humor, no drama.... just moments of "read my thoughts on or about these people" or variations of "this sucks...." The only exceptions are when he throws in a random Walt Whitman quote and he does this so often, you could make a decent drinking game out of it. My last complaint is about how often Moon wants his readers to know how horrible modern life, big cities, and big highways are. And of course, in contrast, how much better are those blue highways and the little towns. Having traveled quite a lot myself, I can, with full confidence claim that this is utter bullshit. There are good cities and bad. There are good highways and bad. I would love to never have to drive in I-93 around Boston again. The sprawl and endless mini-malls and tourist traps of Cherokee, North Carolina? Horrible. But what about The Blue Ridge Parkway? That's a national highway, and it is utterly beautiful. 469 Miles of Awesome. Or Highway 1 along the California Coast: one of the most memorable and beautiful things I have ever seen. Just because something is remote and forgotten doesn't mean that it's inherently better than what is popular. Sometimes something is popular for a good reason--because it is good. I would love to be able to drive around and explore for the amount of time Moon did. In fact, my grandparents took a year out of their retirement and did just that. They came back with wonderful stories and pictures. They went to the popular places and the places hidden away from progress. They talked of that experience for the rest of their lives and it always brought smiles to their faces. And ultimately, that is what Blue Highways lacks. There is no joy in the journey and so it is not worth taking.

** spoiler alert ** Desire is a dark thing, and makes people exceptionally cruel to each other. I fear for November, and her Happily Ever After. My heart broke for Nerezza and Hester. The sex was disturbing, more-so because Valente's language is much more sensual than the acts it depicts. There's a dissonance between the (sensual) characteristics of the language and the (coercive, cold) characteristics of the story and characters.

First, I read this book before Oprah named it as a book club book. Secondly, I don't care if it's real or not, the description of pain was awesome.

Like most short story collections, not every story in the collection is a winner (I suppose the same could be said about chapters in a novel, but the deficiencies are more obvious in a short story collection). That's all a long way of saying that some of Munro's stories are fantastic (particularly the several connected stories that cover three periods in one woman's life) and some are lacking. I sort of wish that she had kept the collection devoted to her main female protagonist. Filling in the blanks between the events that Munro allows us to see in that character's life is very intriguing. The character drifts in and out of the book almost in the way that certain strangers reappear in our lives (you see them on the train, at the grocery store, etc). Her writing makes me wonder how you measure a life--what pieces of ourselves we will leave behind. And I think that any book that provokes thought/questions is worth a read.
