Jill is a sixteen year old competitive fencer who is mourning her last lost match while on vacation with the family. She falls out of a tourist boat and ends up back in time with a pirate crew. She gets to use her fencing skills for real while trying to figure out a way home. This is a young adult book that reads appropriately for that age. Vaughn does a good job of explaining piracy, sailing and fencing within her story but it was a bit immature for me.

Thank God I had the second book ready to go as soon as I finished because I'm completely enthralled. I can't stop reading!

A fresh YA mystery with a paranormal twist. I found it entertaining and enjoyable.

This is the third book I have read by this author, and it was great. The main character, Leland, was very charming but made some very unwise decisions for which he suffered greatly. If you read it, you will think about consequences of going against your own moral fiber.

So romantic and lovely.
At 1085 pages, accommodating hundreds of characters, locales, sub-plots, digressions, etc., "Against The Day" isn't exactly summer beach reading. I bought my copy the day it was released (Nov. 21, 2006) and started reading that day. I'm currently (May 23, 2007) on page 892. This pace doesn't reflect a lack of desire, or even time, but rather a cautious appreciation of this book. I figure writers gamble and devote years of their lives preparing a book, while the reader invests mere hours, or days digesting it. Given that Pynchon just turned seventy, and given the ten (or more) year spans between his novels, this could well be his last...so I'm milking it. Pynchon has always been given the rap of being "difficult." True, you'll want to keep a dictionary close at hand, and those who desire a linear plot with fully developed themes and characters will certainly be disappointed by this novel (as goes for any of his other works), yet for the persistent few, his writing is able to elicit a kind of "unhealthy mental excitement." In a sense, you need to learn how to read Pynchon, and really, the only way to read him is to surrender to his onslaught. It requires a spirit closely related to John Keats' concept of negative capability: "that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason..." In other words, the ability to let go, and read for sensation rather than full comprehension. Once you get into Pynchon's rhythm, style, and are able to crack his codes, there is, on nearly every page a kind of "aha!" moment. He lays little tripwires in the prose, so that upon careful reading, or re-reading, the running jokes and poetic asides have a renewed, and lasting vitality. Whether it is a turn of phrase, a strange metaphor, or a moment of comedic timing that produces a l.o.l. moment of absurdity, I am continually forced to put down the book, and silently marvel at this man's capabilites as a writer. He is a mad genius, a luminary, and I would argue, one of our national treasures.

Beautiful, moving. What historical fiction should be.
