I would recommend this novel to someone looking for a guilty pleasure romance or sexy vampires. A Discovery of Witches is heavy on the romance with a little Da Vinci Code thrown in for good measure. If you love history and science the Da Vinci code parts are spectacular. The text is speckled with fascinating tidbits about alchemy's role in the birth of science. More than once, it had me stopping to run to wikipedia to look up some historical artifact or scientific process. It sparked my interested in human evolution and ancestral genetics so much so that I've been reading books on those topics! Dr. Harkness did her research when she wrote this book. Too few fiction writers take the time to verify the reality of their plots against science and history by talking with expert researchers (that is, when an author is striving for something that approximates reality). I hope her work sets an example for others. The wonderful factual bits diminish substantially as the book progresses, replaced with pages and pages of romance between the novel's two primary protagonists which are - unfortunately - boringly flat characters that are more Mary Sue than realistic. I love well-written novels with romance, but something about these characters got under my skin. I found Diana to be particularly annoying and more at home in a fanfiction. If someone asked one of these two characters "What are your weaknesses, your flaw?", their response would undoubtedly be some kind of talent disguised as weakness, like "Oh, I'm a hard worker and sometimes I work too hard." Honestly. I really wanted to love this book - the plot has so much potential. So much! Sadly, this book left me extremely wanting in the character development department. However, I would wager a guess that this isn't from lack of talent so much as Harkness' Ph.D. background. A transition to creative writing can be difficult after years spent in the nonfiction realm of academic papers and books. She has the potential to be a wonderful fiction writer and I hope that, with continued adventures in creative writing, her character skills will blossom.

i've only read 30 pages of this, and it's not looking too good. it'll probably sit on my shelf for 12 years until i've read absolutely everything else and am bored enough to resort to it.

I can't decide if I would have like this more or less if I had not seen "Benjamin Buttons". I am not sure why the movie purports to be based on a short story by Gatsby because this book seems too much like the movie to be coincidence. Regardless, it is more interesting in some ways because the love story is so much more complicated and the setting is San Francisco, rather than the whole world. The psychological aspects of aging backwards are explored in much greater detail through this narrative and I found that fascinating. What I liked about it also detracted from the story. I loved the in depth analysis of love and aging, but at times I wanted to slap him and say "snap out of it". He just couldn't get past his first love, and he didn't seem to care about much else in life, which made an interesting love story, but a tedious book.

I got this book to read Octavia Butler but have found new authors to explore.

Any one who is not scared of reading some gory stuff, its not that gory, but interesting to read. Especially if you like crime solving murders.

So far it has been a very interesting read. It is somewhat depressing as it deals with a very sad subject of the Holocaust. It helps one gain a greater perspective on the events that occured and how ordinary middle-aged men became the mass-murderers that all hear about.
