I wasn't expecting much from this book. But I found it to be cute and funny. I could barely put it down! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Very different from traditional vampire books. Vampires exist and are known to exist only by the people of this one little town. Once you leave the town, people don't know about the vampires. That is, if they let you leave town. Though different, it was very surprising with many unexpected plot twists. There were a few instances where the rules were somewhat baffling and didn't seem too well constructed, but a pretty good book if read with an open mind.

Another book in my DNF stack that I decided to give a second chance. All in all, it was an interesting book - it was just really slow moving. The second half was a lot better than the first half, and once I got through the book, I realized that I actually enjoyed it. It was also nice to read a book about the Midwest - it's great to be "familiar" with the locations.

Over all it was a pretty good book. It was alittle cheesy at times, from my opioion. Due to the fact because it was about "spies" and I usually find stories, and movies about spies sort of cheesy. But i thought it was interesting how it was about young teenage girl spies, it was cool how the other could take something so action packed and still turn it into a teen drama story. Not my most favorite book, but wasn't a waste of time either.

I liked Nick even more the second time around. And I disliked Daisy, which was a surprise . . . I'd remembered her as so palely likeable from my high school exposure. Living as I do now on the North Shore of Long Island, I played the game of exactly where was Jay's house & where was that green light supposed to be mysteriously still seen on foggy nights. It did lend panache to the game they all were playing, I guess. The scene with the shirts was still pathetically touching as a school-boy showing his marbles to his would-be love, but otherwise, it was just all too well-known. No surprises. No hidden relevancies. A classic for its place in time, for the picture it painted of its place and time. Not a lot more.

Landscape with Fragmented Figures demonstrates Jeff VandeZande's continued growth as a writer. JV returns to themes he worked with in his first novel, Into the Desperate Country --love, loss, Michigan-- but this time he does it through a family, and it is a family we are all familiar with, full of love and hate and anger and understanding, and ultimately forgiveness. It's about disillusionment and hope: two of the forces driving us that are in constant opposition, and yet both absolutely necessary for personal growth. The novel is once again firmly grounded in Michigan, and yet we get the feeling the story could, and does, occur everywhere around and within us all. JV shows that he understands the gulf that separates the worlds of art and academia from the blue collar work-a-day world, and yet he writes about both with equal grace and authority, without worship and without condescension, showing us what is base and what is noble in both. Truly an inspiring story...

What can I say - I like anthropomorphization.

Great series

I've read this twice now, and I bumped it up a star. It's got more depth than you expect, and an additional decade of perspective made me appreciate it more. It's a great look back at the early 90s and what it meant to be young and ambitious and aimless back then. The self-consciousness that turns off many readers (self-absorption may be more accurate) is actually a pretty good reflection of how many of us feel at that age, and what many people feel like after tragedy. Don't get hung up on the literary devices (there are many) and enjoy the Kerouac-esque style of the San Francisco chapters, which are particularly great. People really want to hate Eggers for his success, but he's earned it.

This is a re-read. It's even better the second time around. "Hyperion" is the first of two novels, "The Fall of Hyperion" being the sequel of a continuous story. Dan Simmons says he wrote them as "space opera" and followed up with two books set in the same universe, but with different characters, the "Endymion" series. But Simmons also delights in telling us that he is not a sci-fi writer; his books are in many different genres, chief of which is probablhy contemporary horror (his "Carrion Comfort" won the best novel byu the Horror Writers of America" back in the late '80's). (See his official website, www.dansimmons.com.) As a successful multi-genre writer, Simmons confirms what "Hyperion" shows -- that his books are excellent examples of the postmodernity of genre writing. I find the Hyperion series to be a sort of flip-side to the novels of Umberto Eco. Eco's "The Name of the Rose" uses the popular mystery novel genre, but turns the basic properties of the mystery novel on their end by bringing up questions of contemporary (and historical) philosophy, signs and signifiers in language itself, and the relationship of such concerns to genre novel writing. In Eco, the philosophy actually becomes foreground. Simmons, on the other hand, spins a pulp-fiction yarn in traditional "space-opera" fashion, but still he weaves in questions of literary theory (John Keats permeates the work, even to the point of becoming a character in it) and the philosophy of creativity, especially creative evolution per Teilhard, and how this aesthetic relates to romantic poetics, and in turn to contemporary genre writing. Twenty years ago, on first reading Hyperion, I did not go on to read the sequel. This time I started again at the beginning and continued on through the two volume epic. "The Fall..." abandons the Canturbury Tales-like format of "Hyperion" wherin each of a group of pilgrims relates his/her story within the framework of a larger mission. This format is one of the attractive features of the first book. It presents different aspects of the Hyperion universe from seven different points of view, each one reflecting and adding to the entire storyline. The second volume has a more straightforward storytelling style, smaller chapters alternating between locales and characters, between the pilgrims who have reached their goal and now face life-and-death adventures, and the various diplomatic warrooms where the leaders of humanity play with the fate of the known worlds. And though "The Fall" completes the story, for twenty years I have never felt like I was shortchanged in stopping with "Hyperion" on my first read. That novel itself is big and boisterous and full of felt-life. The sequel, though perhaps not as grand, is a pleasant fulfillment of the story. In the Dan Simmons output, both books remind us that pulp literature can transcend its genre, even while spinning a good tale.
