At first I thought Bud seemed a lot like Kenny from the "The Watsons...." but he eventually developed into his own unique character. Curtis has a wonderful talent for using humor in his stories that wraps around difficult situations or events. I especially liked reading the afterword at the end of the book where Curtis explained how he developed his characters from real life family members and how he encourages young readers to listen to the stories of their grandparents and parents and learn more about how different decades were compared to the times we live in now.

I loved this book. Have read 6 other Anya Seton novels and this one and Katherine are my favorites. The story moves along very rapidly and has some of her very best characters in addition to Fey the strong heroine in the novel. It contains elements of romance, ambition, betrayal, adventure in wide ranging locations. and keeps you turning pages to keep up with the life of this amazing women . Even the 19th century historical settings in Santa Fe and NYC as well as travel between them gives you a wide ranging look at the country and conditions and concerns at that time, as well as her own life among so many different types and classes of people, from a poor Mexican family to the super wealthy in New York.

The things I like about Keret are also the things that annoy me after reading him for an extended period of time. First, he's a great writer, and the stories are fun and provoke some LOL's. His worlds are imaginitive, but... aside from a brush with the underbelly of absurdity, these stories lack only a bit of depth in comparison to a DFW or Camus for instance. However, what is lacked in depth is made up for in playful dialogues, settings, etc. Keret will entertain you, and at times envoke pause for his truly human characters. I almost give this 4 stars, and as an admitted Etgar Keret fan, will hereby solemnly cue up another of his books to my reading list.

First let me say that Hollinghurst's prose amaaaaazed me. I read The Line Of Beauty a couple of years ago and I remember thinking that he was an excellent writer. But The Swimming Pool Library blew me away in a way that The Line Of Beauty did not. Somehow among contemporary authors there seems to be this thing where "being literary" is equated with "totally overwriting". Ian McEwan or Michael Chabon, for example, I find their prose needlessly dense and wearing to read. I feel like every word has been written and rewritten and rewritten till the prose is just pummelled dry of life. There's perfectionism and then there's sucking everything natural out of the writing. (This has turned into a rant against two writers I dislike and I didn't mean for that to happen. Heh. Oops. Moving on...) Anyway, my point is, Hollinghurst has a great degree of polish to his prose, but retains a kind of effortless naturalness. It's a pleasure to read. (Needless to say, this novel made me feel massively inadequate about my own writing. Boo. I suppose it's the price you pay for reading good books.) The degree to which I adored the writing style really did make up for the fact that... this really wasn't my kind of book. For a variety of reasons: 1) The upper classes just make me roll my eyes, mostly; I don't really care about their "problems". Even with the Arthur subplot, one did not get the sense that the protagonist saw any difference between Arthur's life of soul-destroying institutionalized poverty and street culture, and the fact that his own new friend might be screwing him over just a bit. o__O 2) I like a strong story arc, and this novel just meandered along, often forgetting to mention (much less highlight) important plot points. I suppose it was only intended as a snapshot of someone's life, but I found that vaguely dissatisfying. 3) Although the final Nantwich "twist" was a wonderful sucker punch, I never felt the journal entries gelled with the rest of the novel. The "shorthand" style of those passages felt almost unreadably contrived compared to the perfection of the rest of Hollinghurst's prose. 4) The place where I felt like Hollinghurst's prose fell down was in his dialogue (and I am a whore for good dialogue), which was flat and frequently wrongly set out. 5) NO WOMEN. None. None. Despite my misgivings, I really did enjoy it immensely. So if you're looking for a heartbreakingly well-written book which contains a lot of gay sex, I would recommend it!

A very competent, academic treatment of this most compelling of gnostic gospels. I prefer the Leloup translation, however.

An extraordinarily insightful, intimate look inside the creative process and the evolution of a masterpiece.
