Lines I appreciated from this book: - "I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, i dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into one's life." (pg. 6, Basil Hallward) - Had he gone to his aunt's, he would have been sure to meet Lord Goodbody there, and the whole conversation would have been about the feeding of the poor, and the necessity for model lodging houses. Each class would have preached the importance of those virtues, for whose exercise there was no necessity in their own lives. The rich would have spoken on the value of thrift, and the idle grown eloquent over the dignity of labour. (pg. 15) - "I hate offices, and I hate clerks ... But you are quite right. I have chosen my own life." (pg. 57, James Vane) - Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them. (pg. 60) - "I once wore nothing but violets all through one season, as a form of artistic mourning for a romance that would not die. Ultimately, however, it did die. I forget what killed it. I think it was her proposing to sacrifice the whole world for me. That is always a dreadful moment. It fills one with the terror of eternity. ... The one charm of the past is that it is the past." (pg. 89, Lord Henry)

It has a "Blade Runner" introduction that hooks you in from the beginning. Quite insightful but not a full course meal.

The Briar King is one of those delightful books that slowly grows on you. It starts off a bit slow, gaining in momentum, until you look up and it is 3am, and you kick yourself for all those "just one more chapter..." moments. Not only does the story grow on you, but most of the characters do too. Notice I said most. There were a few characters that I never got in touch with, but overall I was happy with the characterization. Actually, I feel that way about the entire book. The story was great, though in some places I felt a bit lost. The world building was equally good, though again, some parts left me a bit confused. The interesting thing is, it all balanced. I cannot think of a single area, pacing, characterization, world building, or plot that strikes me as being exceptional when compared to other areas. There were plot twists I saw coming, and there were some that left me stunned. There were characters I loved, or hated, and others I wished I knew better. There are questions asked and answered and questions left hanging in the air. All I know is that together, it all worked and was more then enough to make me read that "one more chapter..."

** spoiler alert ** I am baffled that this book was chosen as one of the top 5 fiction books of last year by the times. I liked the ending of the book and much of it came together at the end, but generally i found the book disjointed and uninteresting. It was also the third book in a row I've read with nauseatingly PC privileged white folks (This Beautiful Life and Freedom being the other two) so time to change themes. Spoiler: the plot with the faux Brazilian boyfriend was random and made little sense but I really liked the ending with the phone call from the husband. The email from her brother that she never returned before he died was over the top. Moore should have scaled back so many divergent plot lines.

I know this book was primarily written to the author's kids, but it was really boring. It said do what you love, research thoroughly, did I say do what you love. I don't even think I'll have my son read it. Ram Sethi's, I Will Teach You To Be Rich would teach him a lot more and is a lot more entertaining.

"'How come she ain't got no problem defending herself from that crazy man? But she chase after Miss Hilly like she just begging for abuse?' I [Minny:] say this even though Miss Celia getting her feelings hurt is the least of my worries right now. It just feels kind of good to talk about someone else's screwed up life. 'Almost sounds like you care, ' Aibileen says, smiling. 'She just don't see em. The lines. Not between her and me, not between her and Hilly.' Aibileen takes a long sip of her tea. Finally I look at her. 'What you so quiet for? I know you got a opinion bout all this.' 'You gone accuse me a philosophizing.' 'Go ahead,' I say. 'I ain't afraid a no philosophy.' 'It ain't true.' 'Say what?' 'You talking about something that don't exist.' I shake my head at my friend. 'Not only is they lines, but you know good as I do where them lines be drawn.' Aibileen shakes her head. 'I used to believe in em. I don't anymore. They in our heads. People like Miss Hilly is always trying to make us believe they there. But they ain't.' 'I know they there cause you get punished for crossing em,' I say. 'Least I do.' ‘Lot a folks think if you talk back to you husband, you crossed the line. And that justifies punishment. You believe in that line?’ I scowl down at the table. ‘ You know I ain’t studying no line like that.’ ‘Cause that line ain’t there. Except in Leroy’s head. Lines between black and white ain’t there neither. Some folks just made those up, long time ago. And that go for the white trash and the so-ciety ladies too.’ Thinking about Miss Celia coming out with that fire poker when she could’ve hid behind the door, I don’t know. I get a twinge. I want her to understand how it is with Miss Hilly. But how do you tell a fool like her? ‘So you saying there ain’t no line between the help and the boss either?’ Aibileen shakes her head. ‘They’s just positions, like on a checkerboard. Who work for who don’t mean nothing.’ ‘So I ain’t crossing no line if I tell Miss Celia the truth, that she ain’t good enough for Hilly?’ I pick my cup up. I’m trying hard to get this, but my cut’s thumping against my brain. ‘But wait, if I tell her Miss Hilly’s out a her league . . . then ain’t I saying they is a line?’ Aibileen laughs. She pats my hand. ‘All I’m saying is, kindness don’t have no boundaries’” (311-312).
