This one is not one of my favorites by King. Though he always has quite a few characters in the longer novels, in Under the Dome I just couldn't quite connect with any one of them. Characters didn't have the depth as they did in The Stand. I read The Stand in less than a week when I was still in my early twenties and it has stuck with me through all these years. It took me nearly a month to read Under the Dome and unfortunately I consider it easily forgettable. I will say I was much happier with the ending of this one than I was with It. I gave it three stars because it wasn't terrible, but I feel if it had been shortened and focused on fewer characters I would have enjoyed it so much more. A hard book to hang onto while reading. I'll probably try to get it on Kindle if I buy another novel of this length. Much easier to hold.

This intense story is about one woman's quest to discover the truth. Told through the current reflections of Libby and her brother, Ben and flashbacks of the night Libby and Ben's mother and sisters were murdered, the author takes you on a journey of cruel fate. It leaves you with same helpless feeling you get as you watch a train wreck you can do nothing about. It leaves you guessing until the very end with a bit of a twist you don't see coming. The story is well told and though most of the characters aren't exactly likable, you do care for their fate and wish to spare them the hardships that their choices will ultimately cause them. I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I enjoyed the authors style of writing and found the characters to be an interesting collection of dysfunction. The subject matter is a bit difficult and there is an awful scene involving the mutilation of cows, but, if you can get through that, this book is well worth the read.

Excerpted from the full review: "Many a bibliophile has been quoted as saying, ‘Give me books before bread!’, but Ariel Manto’s acquisition of an ultra-rare 19th century tome literally lands her near to poverty. Yet, for a copy of The End of Mr. Y, a literary work with which Ariel is obsessed, the decision is effortless. The fact that everyone who has read the book seems to have disappeared (including Ariel’s Ph.D. advisor, who once gave an academic talk on this ‘curse’) does not dissuade her. Once she reads The End of Mr. Y, she is left with more questions than answers, and a burning desire to follow the journey of Mr. Y himself. Her own journey, replicated on the steps that he – and Ariel believes, her absent advisor – took, sends her spiralling into an alternative realm of reality, called the Troposphere, in which she is able to spatially manoeuvre by piggybacking on the thoughts of others. However, Ariel soon realizes that (a) not all in the Troposphere is as it seems, and (b) she is not alone in her mindsurfing odyssey. It is hard to figure out whether or not Ariel Manto deserves the reader’s respect. At several points in ‘The End of Mr. Y’, attempting to love Ariel can feel like an effort in loving the most (under)doggedly dismal parts of ourselves, the ones we feed with cheap alcohol, too many cigarettes and a lifetime’s dingy disappointments. This doesn’t mean that the novel’s protagonist is poorly-drawn; quite the contrary – she shines by her very lack of lustre. Insofar as a character’s convincingly-rendered moments of unlikeability make her eminently more likeable, Ariel Manto’s a gem."

I'd read and liked Case Histories by Kate Atkinson, so when I found this for a dollar at the Richmond Public Library booksale I went ahead and picked it up. It wasn't a bad read, but I didn't like it as much as Case Histories, mainly because it's a fairly long book without much of a plot. A lot happens in the book, of course. It follows several generations of the maternal side of Ruby Lennox' family, so there are lots of deaths and betrayals and missing of trains. There are some very real characters and a lot of secondary characters. There are some finely drawn relationships, particularly between the various sets of sisters. There's an extremely upsetting fire in a pet shop. There are parallels between some of the situations, and the writing is engaging, but it never comes together as an actual story for me. Also, I'm not too fond of the gimmick of having Ruby narrate her chapters in the present tense from conception onwards; especially given that we later learn she has forgotten, or blocked out, certain events, it's a little silly to have her so conscious of her own prenatal and infant periods.
Fantastic read. Read it in one night - couldn't put it down.

This continues the saga of Griffin & Sabine.... So Sabine decides to take a trip to London to try and meet Griffin while running some prints past her publisher. Griffin freaks out and gets all nervous that she is coming and jumps ship, deciding to travel around the world on a journey of self discovery. Sabine, being the understanding, patient chick that she is, stays at Griffin's places, paints, and continues to correspond with him as he travels. Finally, he writes to her and says he's coming home and will be there in two days. She waits...and waits...and nothing. Griffin goes home and there is no evidence that anyone has been in his home. Days later he gets a letter from Sabine saying that she waited for a week and he never came. WHAT?! OMG, are they in different times???? How could this be? How could they both be in the same house, corresponding with no evidence of either's presence. ACK!!! Must find out what happens!!!

Another of Astrid Lindgren's timelass wonders. If you do not cry in the first chapter, I am not I want to call you human. This is a fantasy story about just about everything in the human soul: brotherhood, love, bravery, kindness, greed, hunger for power, fear... Read it. Now.

Extremely heartfelt and really goes to the gut of the issue about soldiers in times of war. Not overly sentimental, and very honest and well-written.

I LOVED this book. It got me addicted to Jodi Picoult--I have since read many of her books and this is still my favorite. You HAVE to read it all the way to the very end to get the full story.
