Hard boiled detective Mike Hammer is going for a walk on a bleak snowy night when he runs into a distraught woman being chased by a gunman on a bridge near Manhattan. Hammer dispatches the thug with a blast from his .45 but is too late to save the woman who jumps to her death. Investigating what led to this event takes Hammer deep into the Communist underground of New York City at the height of the Cold War, where suspicion and paranoia reign supreme. When a local politician running on a reform ticket is implicated for a murder he didn't commit, Hammer takes on the case and starts to see connections between the two murders and the international communist conspiracy. This was a fun read, but definitely time-locked into a period of American history where Cold War hysteria was at its most extreme. Mike Hammer wraps himself in the flag and goes hunting the evil commies with his trusty .45 and in one memorable scene lets loose with a couple of clips from a tommy-gun. It's all guns, cars, dames and Commies... a blast from the past (literally) from an American long gone.

L. M. Montgomery's lesser known heroine, but just as endearing as Anne.

This one starts slow, but once you get into it, the facts about the sheer size of the Worlds Fair in Chicago are fascinating, and there's a little bit of murder mystery to go along with it.

I really enjoyed this book, even though the poor heroine had a really rough time of it. I liked that she was an outsider who sometimes did questionable things, insane things, but simply did not perceive the world from a normal point of view due to her lonely existence under the influence of her eccentric alchemist father. Brilliant in science, stupid with the ways of men.

There's no doubt about it, this novel will divide opinion. Personally, I loved it. There were shades of Milan Kundera, Jeff Noon and David Lynch. The first half deals with the narrator's struggle against depression as he moves mechanically through his life as a teacher in Hong Kong. A newspaper article about the suicide of a Korean model is the trigger for the second half of the text which is more of a surreal fantasy about the narrator trying to save himself by saving the model in question before she committed the act. Think of Murakami's 'Hard Boiled Wonderland...' but set in the contemporary world rather than in that strange, dreamlike citadel of unicorn skulls. The style used by Oli Johns has to be mentioned because it helps give the novel its uniqueness. Like Jeff Noon, he has turned his back on conventional paragraphs. But unlike Noon (where this can sometimes feel like a gimmick and detracts from the work) his use of short, declarative sentences that stand alone really puts across a strong sense of the narrator's stream of consciousness. And it is surprisingly easy to read, giving the novel some serious pace also. Not having a lot of knowledge about philosophy (about which the narrator is also obsessed), I do know there was one philosophical work that was written in the same way, but for the life of me can't remember which one. But to translate that idea into a work of fiction is, to me, a stroke of genius on the author's part. Overall, I thought this was a great book and staggeringly original. It did remind me in some ways of the Murakami work mentioned above, but unlike that one Johns doesn't seem to feel the need to resolve the fantasy element in the narrative. No exposition about the narrator sinking into his unconscious here. In fact, at one point he is at pains to point out that this ISN'T a dream, it's all too real. I liked that about it, it felt like an evolution of magic realism, pushing literature towards the places that cinema has already been for several years. Johns isn't likely to be on the latest list of twelve up and coming authors, but on the evidence of this, I'd say he deserves to be. It's edgy and it's a bit out there, but I'm willing to bet it's more innovative and unique than a lot of other things being talked about right now.

A really good book, and fascinating story but I found it a little depressing at the end!! Seems like the bad stuff just kept happening to the Geisha and I kept waiting for her life to improve! The book left me feeling down..I was glad to be done with it.

Not nearly as good as the reviews would indicate. Main character a bit too acerbic, too bitter, too je-ne-sais-quoi. The musical back-story was intriguing though and well told and the love of music comes through strongly.
