I was all set to not like this book. After my disastrous experience with the audio version of Baby Proof, I was a bit sour on Emily Giffin. Besides, the first line of the novel is, "I was born beautiful." I mean, really. Giffin did an OK job capturing the character of underdog Rachel in Something Borrowed, but I had my doubts that she'd be able to figure out what made Darcy tick. Much to my surprise, though, she did, after a somewhat shaky start. (In the prologue, Darcy also describes herself as having been a "benevolent dictator" as the leader of the popular clique in high school, which...no. Just no.) Whether intentional or not (I'm guessing not, because I'm still not willing to let Emily Giffin off the hook and give her the benefit of the doubt), this book is sort of a modern adaptation of The House of Mirth, albeit with a much more happy, chick-lit-approved ending. Like Wharton before her, Giffin seems to enjoy poking fun at her heroine's rampant self-delusion, which provided a few giggles.

Thank you Constance for your persistence. You’d mentioned this book so many times and I’m so glad that I finally read it. This is a very well written book, and the author illustrated it also, and the black and white ink drawings add to its enjoyment. It’s very old fashioned in some respects, yet the two sisters are resourceful and independent, and I felt relieved by the ending, as I was happy to see that these characters stayed true to themselves. It was written in the 1950s (so sorry I missed reading this when I was young) and it’s about 2 sisters in 1850s New York. The descriptions given of the New York at that time are wonderfully vivid. If I’d read this as a kid I’d have desperately wanted a sister even more than I already did. There is a terrific show of humor, especially about the ever-present clams. This was written when the only meaning of the word gay was still merry, carefree, lighthearted; I can always tell when a book is a classic when I see this. I am sad that more readers do not seem to know of this book. At least very few have rated in on Goodreads. I am now interested in reading other books by this author; I’ve put two others on my to-read shelf.

First thought: this is a book that shouldn't work, but does. Why does it work so well? ...OK, I think I'm stealing that observation from another Goodreads review that I read and must have internalized way back when I was working at the bookstore, and I apologize for that if it's your opinion I'm aping. I read a ton of reviews of this right after the store first got it, occasionally stopping in Fiction while shelving to admire the texture of the jacket, wondering, what's the big deal about this book to warrant such a neat packaging? Cover love aside, I didn't want to read it until it recently started winning every award in history (or just the National Critics Book Circle Award, whatevs). Fiction about the lives of lapsed celebrities, big-shot producers, and the people around them holds no interest for me, in that the rendering of actual celebrity lives in print usually reads fake and inauthentic as is. If it's hard to write good nonfiction about celebrity lives (maybe I haven't read enough Truman Capote or Gay Talese), it's probably even harder to write good fiction on the subject. The combination of the speaking and thinking in platitudes that runs rampant in celebrity journalism are certainly to blame for its fake feeling. But there's also how similar and cliched many of the details of celebrity lives are -- addictions, regular people being stunted by their glow, hard work at a young age, connections. Who wants to read an imitation of an imitation? Like, I know that the film Crazy Heart and Jeff Bridges' performance in it was widely considered to be Pretty Good, but it was an imitation of an imitation and it felt that way to me, and I love Jeff Bridges so it pains me to say that. Having read A Visit From the Goon Squad, I agree that the book is both worthy of its jacket and absolutely would not have worked without Egan's talent for building real-seeming lives out of small details and earth-shattering moments equally. Egan's skills lie in the realm of being "humane" and "insightful." But I use those words whenever I am jazzed about characterization, which is 75% of what excites me about books I enjoy, and it's boring to keep repeating those words when what I mean is that if you are also a person with a deep, almost voyeuristic curiosity about other people, then you will enjoy this book. There are few observations about or attempts at deconstructing celebrity life, thank god. Even the ones that are here feel real enough to pass. Some of the best stories are about mega-producer Bennie's assistant Sasha and the people who dart in and out of her life. I am in love with how the first chapter finds Sasha in her 30s in NYC on a date with a random guy, taking him back to her apartment for sex and him seeing a picture of "her friend, Rob, who drowned in college" and then nine chapters later, you get the story "Out of Body" about this guy Rob Freeman, in college. You go through the rush of his feelings in second person, and Sasha's a character (and an important character to Rob) but you wonder where it's all going, and then he jumps naked into the East River at the end in a moment of catharsis and at this point in the book you've been through so many other people's lives, but suddenly you remember, oh my god the first chapter. Really, the interconnectedness of everyone in this book is brilliant. Egan flirts with the space of story, letting incidental characters have a full lifespan too; at the risk of sounding like a cornball, the book succeeds in reflecting real life so well partly because in life, too, there's no such thing as a "secondary character." Before I start talking about Buddhism (in an uninformed way, even!) or pass out from thinking about how every single person I walk by has a full life of experience and feeling, has been loved or treated like shit by someone else with a full life independent of the person I've just passed!...here are my favorite parts of the book: - 4, "Safari" - 10, "Out of Body" - 6, "X's and O's" - The PowerPoint slide on page 191, "What Lincoln Wants to Say/Ends Up Saying" Also, I googled the Minoan octopus design of Bennie's wife's tattoo. It's cool.

"The Women's Murder Club reconvenes under the worst circumstances. After a routine arrest goes terribly awry, a young woman is caught in the crossfire and killed. Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer must defend herself against charges of police brutality in a case that has made coast-to-coast headlines. In this high-anxiety atmosphere, Boxer and her Women's Murder Club buddies are also searching frantically for clues to a series of Half Moon Bay murders." Fast paced and enjoyable. Interesting plot.

This was a pretty interesting book about a family that found a way to spend millions, hurting each other along the way, and then of course building houses too. Overall I am glad I read the book, I just kinda wish there was a mini family tree of the people discussed in the front of the book, because it seemed everyone was named Cornelius and Neil and William, and it took some thought to keep it all on track.

Although written in the early '90s, the scenarios are still interesting. Especially the North Korean scenario. The authors did an excellent job providing an insight to motivations for world leaders and the outcomes of those motivations.

starts out seeming kinda cheesy - every character talks like he or she's in a Bogie picture - but Kanon's great with historical setting & a labyrinthine plot. much, much better than the movie - case in point - Tobey Maguire's character turns up dead almost immediately.
