Coming of age story grappling with memory and how different characters view the same situation, as well as how it shapes their lives. Lee Goddell tries to find meaning in life, much as he tries to discover form within marble as a sculptor. When he is a boy in small town New Jesper, Illinois, a heinous crime happens to one of his classmates and he witnesses how his father, the Judge, and other leaders deal with the issue, more concerned with how the crime will affect the town’s reputation than on how the victim is faring. Years later he again encounters his classmate and learns how the incident affected her. Also central to the story is Ogden Hall, where Lee went to school. It was founded by an unlikeable, rich, big-game hunter. It is never entirely apparent why he would endow a school when he seems to have little interest in education or people generally, much less children. Probably he is getting revenge on his wife, who wants to go to Europe and have Rodin sculpt her likeness. Years later a bust of Rodin’s creation serves as the centerpiece of Ogden Hall’s library and is a constant inspiration to Lee. The common mythology among the students is that the bust is of Ogden’s late wife. This turns out to be false, the sculpture instead being that of an unknown Chicago debutante. The school is full of misfits and always struggles to retain qualified and respectable faculty. When it burns down in the end, the previous headmaster’s declaration that Ogden Hall is cursed seems to be true after all. Rodin’s Debutante illustrates how everyone views the past differently, and the way we view of our memories informs our future.

I have seen the movie Alpha Dog, but of course this book put all the events in a much better perspective.

It was not the best book.

I started this book thinking it may be a bit too 'gothic' for my tastes, but once I read the first couple of pages I was hooked. The story is great and fast paced. It really is a page turner, so much so that one evening after we went to bed I continued reading once my wife had fallen asleep and didn't put it down until the sun was coming up 6 hours later! A great story and at times quite scary. I urge you to take a chance with this book.

I enjoyed the tv version of this book. Can't wait to read their story, now.

The best part of this book is the game itself "Liar's Poker" and luckily it's described right at the beginning.

A little weird.
I'm not sure whether I like the book better than the tv series yet... I may have to wait till I finish reading... they are so different in so many things.

Disappearances of hundreds (if not thousands) of Argentine civilians in the late 1970's is the theme of this book. The horrible torture and killing of men, women, and even children is horrifying and shocking. The main character, Carlos, suffers the kidnapping of his wife and daughter, yet helps many to find loved ones due to his ESP- he can see what happens to the lost and let the family know where they are, if they are still alive. This is an interesting novel, but hard to read and a bit fuzzy at times.

Harry Potter is the best book series ever in the history of all books. They are so well written and the characters are developed so well I feel like I personally know them! My favorite is The Order of the Phoenix (#5), but I enjoyed all of them.

Bir Amerikan klasiği statüsü nedeniyle bu kitabı yıllarca okumayı planlıyordum, bu yüzden bunu yapmak ve seyahat etmek dışında 6 ay izin vermemden daha iyi bir zaman buldum? Her nasılsa bu hariç diğer paketimdeki (ve birlikte seyahat ettiğim arkadaşımın) diğer tüm kitapları okumayı başardım. 5 ay ve 5 kıta boyunca sırt çantamda taşıdıktan sonra, sonunda zaman olduğuna karar verdim. İçeri girmek için çok uğraştım, ama karakterlerle ilgili olamadım ve Heller'in bu romandaki espri anlayışı kendime uygun değil - komik olduğunu düşünmedim. Ayrıca, tüm ordu ve savaş referansları beni gözyaşlarına sıktı. Sanırım sonunda Bangkok'ta toplanmaya karar vermeden önce yaklaşık yarısını geçtim, bu yüzden artık taşımak zorunda kalmayacağım. Üzgünüm Joseph.
