I liked this sci-fi book MUCH better than i did War of the Worlds.. only because i felt it focused less on the technological aspects and more so on the social.

Some interesting ideas, including how people's inability to experience orgasm fully leads them toward fascism. Mr. Reich certainly has his heart in the right place, but I'm not sure his science is very well supported (orgone?). Only an "ok" read, as it is often tedious - it could be much condensed.

This was a great, upbeat, funny at times look at the impact one person's life can have on those around them. I want to read everything she's written after reading this one.

I still liked it, still thought it was good overall, but I felt this was a bit more uneven than the two previous books. It was a little disjointed, and the Blood of the Fold itself, and the new characters associated with it, were not as interesting for me as other aspects.

Not one of my favorites. I think the author is one of his own biggest fans.....maybe his only one....

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature. Kate Mosse's Sepulchre is a historical fantasy -- historical fiction with fantastic elements. I enjoy both genres, and this novel features a female graduate student (somebody I can relate to) as one of the main characters, and it's available on audiobook, so I thought it would be good entertainment on my commute. I got about ten chapters in before quitting. The book seems well-researched, is competently written, the tone switches easily and successfully from past to present and back, and the characters are interesting enough. Here is the problem: It is full of enormous amounts of tedious descriptions of ancient and current French landmarks, French historical events, French historical figures, and untranslated French dialogue. I realize, of course, that France is the setting of this historical novel, but the effect of all of this name-dropping is to make me think that Ms Mosse feels the need to prove she did her research -- she's trying too hard, and it comes off as pretentious. And obnoxious. Especially when I'm listening to it in audio format and I can't just skim over the French words. Here are some examples (some are from later in the book): "It was not quite dawn, yet Paris was waking. In the distance, Anatole could hear the sounds of delivery carts. Wooden traps over the cobbles, delivering milk and freshly baked bread to the cafes and bars of the Faubourg Montmartre. He stopped to put on his shoes. The rue Feydeau was deserted; there was no sound except the clip of his heels on the pavement. Deep in thought, Anatole walked quickly, to the junction with the rue Saint-Marc, intending to cut through the arcade of the Passage des Panoramas. He saw no one, heard no one." "By the time a smoggy and hesitant dawn broke over the offices of the Commissariat of Police of the eighth arrondissement in the rue de Lisbonne, tempers were already frayed. The body of a woman identified as Madame Marguerite Vernier has been discovered shortly after eight o'clock on the evening of Sunday, September 20. The news had been telephoned in from one of the new public booths on the corner of the rue de Berlin and the rue d'Amsterdam by a reporter from Le Petit Journal." "In the next stack she discovered a first edition of Maistre's Voyage autour de ma chambre. It was battered and dog-eared, unlike Anatole's pristine copy at home. In another alcove she found a collection of both religious and fervently antireligious texts, grouped together as if to cancel one another out. In the section devoted to contemporary French literature, there was a set of Zola's Rougon-Macquart novels, as well as Flaubert, Maupassant and Huysmans --indeed, many of the intellectually improving texts Anatole tried in vain to press upon her, even a first edition of Stendhal's Le rouge et le noir. There were a few works in translation but nothing entirely to her taste except for Baudelaire's translations of Monsieur Poe. Nothing by Madame Radcliffe or Monsieur Le Fanu . . . The first was Dogme et rituel de la haute magie by Éliphaas Lévi. Next to it was a volume titled Traité méthodique de science occulte. On the shelf above, several other writings by Papus, Court de Gébelin, Etteilla and MacGregor Mathers. She had never read such authors but knew they were occultist writers and considered subversive. Their names appeared regularly in the columns of newspapers and periodicals." At first, I found myself rolling my eyes at every French phrase and name-drop, but since that started to become a driving hazard, I just quit listening. I would much rather read a story whose purpose is to entertain me, not to enlighten or impress me. Sadly, Sepulchre did none of these things. Read this review in context atFantasy Literature .

I read this so long ago...but watching the Lord of the Rings (over and over and over) with Danny has made me want to reread The Hobbit. Thanks to Katie we have a very pretty copy of it sitting on our shelf for when I'm ready to read it. :)

Very clever and witty. I've seen the mini-series (80's Brithish version) and new it would be original and creative. I like getting sucked into a story and that doesn't seem to be the intention of Mr. Adams but I definately appreciated the continuous wit of the book.

The book starts with a chapter titled "The unlived life" that opens with: " Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance." What follows are 160 pages of entertaining exposure of all the mental twists that send you off the mark. Stephen Pressfield calls it Resistance, with an R to illustrate its importance. To create art is war as the author knows all too well. But in the concluding chapters Pressfield talks of "muses and angels" that support the warrior and what emerges is an elevated sense of work and an inspiring sense of individual mission. I loved this book and plan to read it again this year.
