Interesting views in a wrongful birth suit and the fragile trust between mother and daughters.

I read Red Harvest years ago after reading a review of "The World According to Garp" which stated that there were more deaths in Garp than in Red Harvest. The reviewer was exaggerating, I learned. I also learned that while other books might challenge Red Harvest's body count, they couldn't challenged its plot for convoluted intricacy. I reread it recently, hoping I could make more sense of the plot, and while it took me longer to get lost, I still lost the thread about 2/3 through. There are just so many double and triple crosses that the only thing I could follow was the protagonist's weary and cynical world view. Maybe Hammett didn't invent noir, but he certainly distilled it. I guess everyone who has seen Humphrey Bogart and cast in The Maltese Falcon has a hard time imagining a Sam Spade who isn't Bogart. Even Bogey was never this cynical. Not much more to add, great dialogue, another convoluted plot, and the ultimate MacGuffin of them all. While I was reading MF, I wished I had it as an ebook so that I could count how many times Hammett references Sam Spade's "wolfish grin." The Thin Man: Not quite Dick Powell and Myrna Loy, the dialogue isn't as witty as the movie version, and the Nick Charles character spends most of the novel drunk or hung over. There's the usual amount of cynicism and double-crossing, but the plot is relatively straight-forward for Hammett. Not his best, but his last, alas.

There's plenty of action in this well paced and plotted story to keep you attention from the first page to the last. I mean how can it not when the serial killer stalker is introduced on the page 2. I like Chloe. She's a complicated woman and I liked learning of her childhood. It helped to understand her and why she reacted as she did. Then there's the identical twins, Josh ans Xavier Cannon, both with their own psychic power. The sexual tension between these three is hot and when they get together...get a fan. There's a few twists and turns relating to people who are tracking the guys, so they have more problems than just the stalker to deal with. Yet, by adding in a few old characters for support, Ms. Harte manages to tie up all her loose ends into a tidy package and even sets up Nathan and Avery for the next book.

I enjoyed this but it was oddly similar to" away" by amy bloom. Emigrant comes over and starts earning money by sewing, encounters difficulty, sadness and loss. The end goal of the main characters is different but many similarities. A well written and seemingly well researched book.

This book was an easy book to read. I wouldn't say it was anything special. It wasn't anything new. I felt like I'd read the book before. And the writing wasn't anything special either.

I really enjoyed this one! I have been playing video games for a long time and it was nice to go back and re-visit those older times. The book is obviously outdated as it was published quite a while ago, eons in videogame time! Definitely recommended for anyone who likes games. There are no put downs here, not one word about video games being bad for you.... So, whether you just started playing or are old skool, this one is for you!

this book is bizarre. any reader has to accept this and expect this walking in. otherwise, you're likely going to be a bit blown away. that said, its a good sort of bizarre. the stories are well written, and follow a logic within them clearly. they do not, however, follow any sort of outside logic. nothing is taboo within these. be it a family that eats children for dinner, a child who dresses as hitler for halloween, or a more 'typical' story of old friends who have lost touch and are meeting for dinner. the collection covers a wide variety of topics, each of which are entirely interesting. additionally, while the stories are short, they are not exactly simple reads. complex ideas and thoughts are proposed, and oftentimes require a quick re-read or a moment of contemplation before jumping to the next one. very enjoyable collection, though make sure you are in the right mindset when you start.

I am disappointed by this book. I had great expectations considering the contents of this story and I was upset that William Styron used "Sophie's Choice" as it's climax all the while filling the middle pages with fluff. And I use the word climax lightly. [image error] What the hell?! Sophie's Choice is about a Polish woman, Sophie, who is imprisioned at Auschwitz along with her two children. Upon arrival, she is forced to make a crushing choice that will forever plague her. However, you don't find out about this "choice" until 529 pages later with only 33 pages left. All the while, you learn about her life leading up to Auschwitz and her crazy and bizzare love for Nathan, her lover. Yes, a heart-wrenching story and one that I had placed off reading for some time due to the nature of the book, but it could have been something more. It SHOULD HAVE been something more. I expected it to be something more...more moving...more emotional. However, by the time our author developed the characters and allowed the reader to associate with each character, I found myself, not only loathing Sophie, but hoping the book would end a certain way so she would finally be placed out of her misery and mine as well. William Styron filled the pages in between with such adolescent bullshit that I often thought I was reading Playboy forum or something of the sort. An oversexed Polish woman, a drugged-out sadomasochistic Jewish lover, and a wet-dream of a 22 year old virgin friend...now couple that with Auschwitz, NO THANKS! I just changed my star rating from 3 to 2!

Very enjoyable, and unlike previous one I read of hers (Cuban Heels) all the characters ring true. Ending a little unstatisfying, but otherwise a great read.

The Last of his Kind is an eminently readable bio of a remarkable character. Not only was Bradford Washington arguably the greatest mountaineer of his age, a man who bagged more than a fistful of firsts and who revolutionized climbing techniques, he was an accomplished nature photographer, whose work shooting mountains from an open-door airplane remains the best of its sort. In addition, he was asked to take over a sclerotic natural history museum and transformed it into the Boston Museum of Science. We see Washington from tyke-hood to his final days, nearly a century later. His is an interesting story, filled with adventure, daring challenges, and the petty personal politics that seems to beset all people at the highest and most modest levels of accomplishment. Bradford Washburn Roberts had a personal reason for writing about Washington. The elder statesman of American mountaineering was a friend and mentor to the author. The result of this was access to a wealth of personal documents. Roberts’ friendship included that of Washington’s wife, and her memory and insights pervade the work. So it came as a surprise that in reading about this unknown (to me) person, who, as a character, had so much to offer, I felt as if I was watching him from afar. There is a distance in the writing that I found perplexing. Maybe I was unconsciously comparing this book with the vastly superior Lindbergh by A. Scott Berg. In that book I felt the characters come alive. Here they lay relatively flat. Also, as someone with no particular interest in mountaineering, I did not feel wholeheartedly engaged in the excitement of crashing through barriers in the world of mountain climbing. I have nothing against it. It is just not my particular cup of tea. For any with an interest in mountaineering, this book should certainly help sustain the interest and encourage you to learn more about its history. But even if you have a little interest in mountain-climbing per se, The Last of His Kind is still a good, engaging, and interesting read, just not an outstanding one. =============================EXTRA STUFF The author on FB A nice profile of the author
