This was Conrad's first commercial success - which is understandable as it verges on romance fiction with its focus on Flora Debarral, daughter of a discredited financier who has had to do prison time for fraud. It's actually a rather touching story which I don't want to spoil for anyone so I will desist here.

Ideally, I'd give this 2.5 stars. It's not that it was particularly bad, it's just that it was... okay. You know, nothing too remarkable, nothing too terrible. It wasn't one of those books I just couldn't put down. In fact, at times I had to make myself sit down and finish it. The concept was a good one, I just couldn't get into it.

Wow such a great great book deals with a lot of tough issues and with a sad ending a book I will remember for a long time.

** spoiler alert ** This book is so rich, beautiful and sensual. It kind of makes me want to live in a way more connected with nature. I love the closing chapter about the coyote. I have liked everything I've read by Kingsolver--this book is no exception.

As I finished this book over the Atlantic between DC and Ireland, I started to physically shake. While the writing starts off weak and ends up decent, the plot comes together in such a last minute note of horror and realization. It ends sudden, but that's because it has a sequel, and as disturbed as I am now, I am compelled to read it.

I read this book in my early teens and loved it. Can't remember what it was about or anything else about it, but am excited to be reminded! update: It was as good as I remembered, even better, READ IT!!!

Most people seem to think this one was their least favorite. I guess maybe I felt that way too but only by a slim margin. It went a little slower but filled in necessary information so I didn't think it was boring.

I've gone back and forth on the rating on this one, and I just don't know that I am going to be completely satisfied with anything. After reading the first page, I almost quit entirely. Some unnecessary (stupid) hyperbole, a really, really dumb character name and a teenager who thinks it's entirely possible to get biology removed from the curriculum? No thanks. But, I had heard nothing but gushy-gushy-awesome things about this book, so I persevered. The hyperbole and idiotic teenager are part of the plot, and I have to admit that after a bit, I remembered: "OH YEAH... that's how teenagers actually act!" Everything is dramatic, and an overreaction is the only kind of reaction. So, score one for the realism of the characters, but it was an adjustment. That realism is carried through the book, with plenty of cringe-worthy embarrassing moments and things that I just wanted to roll my eyes at. But, really, I am pretty sure I would roll my eyes at the way I functioned on a day to day basis as a sixteen year old. The story is Twilight-esque in its pacing, and once I got about sixty pages in, I just didn't want to put this book down. There was never a "slow" point, where I felt I could just walk away for a bit, and had the timing been right, I would have kept reading into the wee hours of the morning (luckily, this was a daytime read, and I finished around 11 PM... the bags under my eyes will thank me for that) The sexual tension is perfect, though the catalyst for creating it is the ultimate cliche. Please, she gets a sexy new biology lab partner on the day they start doing reproduction and human sexuality? Also... can somebody explain to me how blood pressure studies related to the reproduction chapters they were doing...? No? OK then. A semi-well placed mystery, and the pieces that didn't quite line up (thus creating more mystery) were perfectly explained in the end. Though I was annoyed that the fact that it seemed like there was more than one mystery going on was explained by the fact that there was, in fact, more than one mystery. It felt... awkward? Bulky? Cumbersome? I can't think of the right word, but it seemed to me that the author wanted there to be these pieces of the story that just didn't line up with the semi-obvious solution to the mystery, so she threw them in there, trying to confuse the reader, but then had to explain them at the end. Instead of having a cool Rowling-esque method of wrapping it altogether and getting an "AHA!" moment out of it, she pulled a Heroes-style wrap up "They're BOTH doing it!" Blerg. Mostly this applies to the "Marci" storyline. Unnecessary and stupid. I do feel like this was the better fallen-angel story, and I am going to go change my rating for Fallen accordingly (the longer I think about that one, the more I dislike it anyway). So, to sum up: Five stars for suspense, romance, action, and pacing. Four stars for characters and overall theme. Three stars for the mediocre red herring, convoluted motives and one completely superfluous side story. Two stars for creating the names "Vee Sky" and "Patch Cipriano". Really? "PATCH" is your romantic lead? Stupid. PARENTAL ADVISORIES: Language 1/5: Some teenage-name calling, including some derogatory sexually explicit slurs. Violence 3/5: Some scary scenes, though most of it is B-movie level intimidation and nobody actually gets hurt. An extremely minor character is shot. A hanging is talked about briefly. One character intimidates, threatens and knocks around a few other characters. A girl is beaten up. A brief but intense fist fight. A woman tries to burn down a house to "smoke out" another. A character tries to commit suicide. Some wrestle/fist fighting of various intensity several times throughout the story. A girl is mugged. A boy threatens a girl and nearly hits her. Sex 2/5: A lot of loin-burning desire, but no actual sex. Some passionate kissing. A boy and a girl are in a hotel room together (ostensibly NOT for sex) and she is in a tank top and panties while he is commando in his jeans while they have some heated discussions/fights/wrestling matches. Some frank (and fairly juvenile) discussions about sex, shirtless boys and the like. Teen girls buy racy lingerie while talking about the boys in their lives. Substance Abuses 1/5: A character gets drunk. A girl is in the hospital and has morphine and talks about how "good the drugs are," making jokes about beginning a prescription drug addiction.

The beginning is really interesting. He talks about his experience with food as a kid, his epiphany (losing his food "virginity" in France to an oyster), his out of control period at college and C.I.A. (not the spy factory, the Culinary Institute of America). It's great again at the end as he speaks about his second epiphany, his trip to Japan. I wanted to hear more about this, but I guess there's a book about that that I will have to read. I liked best the parts where he speaks about his motivations, why he adores food and why he continues with this awful business. It's kind of boring in the middle when he starts dropping names and places and tries to be instructive to the reader about why one kitchen/chef/restaurant is better than another. I think you either love or hate Anthony Bourdain. He's a pain in the ass, but he knows it and is unapologetic about it, which is refreshing. He also gives credit where credit is due--also refreshing--and freely admits when he effs up. Took me a long time, too long, to listen to this... don't have a CD player in the car anymore and I don't enjoy listening at home. I get distracted and can't hear and have to backtrack and it's a waste of time. But Bourdain himself narrated, and his voice and delivery are perfect for the subject. 3.5 stars

Knight Winthrop, Viscount Castlerosse, is a confirmed bachelor whose peaceful life is set on its ear with the arrival of his cousins widow and her three children. Lily was engaged to Knight's cousin Tris when Tris was murdered. She loves the three children and will do anything to stay with them including pretending to be Tris's widow. I spent much of this book extremely angry at the arrogant Knight Winthrop--Love the scene where Lily decks Knight, socks him the belly and coshes him on the head with the water pitcher!
