When I read it, this was the best book I had ever read, and it still holds a place in my heart. It was the begnning of my love of reading.

I don't know if it's me or Juliet Marillier who had changed. Either way, I was really disappointed in this book, the sequel to The Dark Mirror, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The narrative was completely weighed down by melodrama and clunky exposition.

While sharing several plot points (not to mention a title word!) with My Lucky Star, this book is much more serious—and much less enjoyable. Conversely, it would seem, Byrnes' novel's best parts are some of the more serious ones—toward the beginning, there's some interesting discussion about the politics of coming out, mostly based around the book protagonist Noah Abraham is trying (and failing) to write about closeted congressional staffers. Noah abandons this project, however, when he meets Bart, personal assistant to former movie star Quinn Scott, who Bart reveals is not only gay, but has been secretly living in Long Island with his partner for thirty-six years. Noah must then try to convince Quinn to let him ghostwrite a tell-all, even if it invokes the wrath of Quinn's ex-wife, the Hollywood heavyweight Kitty Randolph. There are several problems with this book. First, it's too long; everything—Noah meeting Bart, Noah convincing Quinn, Kitty's machinations—takes much too long to occur. Second, none of the characters are really done any justice; Noah is barely in the last third of the book, and Bart remains as flat as a backlot prop. Why do he and Noah fall in love? 'Cause they're there? How very romantic. And that's the male characters. The female ones, well. Noah's mom is out of the picture. (After several mentions of the fact that she eats her salad in an annoying way. Clearly, she deserves to die! Or, well, move to Florida.) Noah's dad's third wife is a dopey fag-hag lush. Then there are some other bitchy women, and of course Kitty, who is an absolute monster. Which might fly if the rest of the novel were a bit broader, but it can't really seem to decide if it's a wacky comedy or a serious issues piece. To be both requires a delicate balancing act, and whoops, I think Byrnes just got egg on himself.

Books about angst ridden teenagers can be amusing. Although I laughed in parts, I didn't really care for the characters and the story didn't keep me gripped. It was ok.

It's boring. I'm not reading the rest.

An excellent exploration of the history of police brutality in America, with careful attention paid to the politics of race. This is not a topic in which I am organically interested, but the book is well-written enough that I stuck with it, and I learned a great deal about both history and current events.

I think this is my favorite Auster book. it's smart, it's new york, it's somewhat inaccessible, without being too weird. it's also broken into three short stories, so if you don't like the first one, you can quit, without feeling like you're giving up.

My thoughts upon finishing this book: (1) I want to take Lillian's cooking class; and (2) I'm hungry. This is one of those books that lets you slip into another universe and revel in the safe, nurturing environment of Lillian's. It also awakens your senses to the food that unlock the characters of the book. In fact, Tom's chapter actually DID teach me how to make rice! To finish it off (dare I say, as the perfectly brewed espresso following a terrific meal), Bauermeister's rhythm, language and delightful descriptions make this entire book a pleasure. I highly recommend it to foodies and non-foodies alike.

I only vaguely remember reading this book a few years ago. It was okay, but from what I remember the second book was better. 2.5 stars.

ikinci kez tekrar okuyun. ilk kez 2011 yılında okundu. 4 yıl geçmesine rağmen, romantizm hala hissediyor.
