It is a well told story, you almost feel like you have a great dinner guest over, however, I found it hard to get into some of his other travel books after this one

Finally finished it and it only took me four months [pats self on back, does a little victory dance and then weeps,] but I'm so glad I read it. This is a book--like The Brothers Karamozov--that makes the subsequent books the author wrote seem superfluous. It contains multitudes. All of humanity is represented here (well, all of Victorian English humanity at any rate.) The truest--and shortest--sentence of the book is the first one: "London." The organizing metaphor of the book is the Chancery Court where people come to await judgments that never seem to come, or when they do come, come too late to be of any use. Kurt Vonnegut summarizes the point of the book when he said (in a completely different context, not talking about this book,) "A purpose of human life is to love whomever is around to be loved." The paragon of this idea is John Jarndyce who has a big stake in the outcome of a court case, but completely ignores it, instead spending his time coming to the aid of whomever needs his aid. He is the goodliest, most charitable character in any book I've ever read. His antipode is Mrs. Jellyby, who spends all her time on a hopeless scheme to aid Humanity at the expense of those who really need her--her poor forlorn family. Dickens calls this Telescopic Philanthropy (a great phrase.) To me, the most interesting character is Mr. Bucket, detective. When it comes to his job, he posses an almost god-like perspicacity, and does it with amazing compassion, but even he can't save everyone. That's what makes Dickens a great artist. He's cynical about "officialdom," tender towards the frailty of humans, but ultimately realistic about mankind's chances for perfect happiness. He further illustrates this in his depiction of Sir Leicester. Leicester's an upper-class twit, but one capable of great suffering. His fate broke my heart. All that being said, what I didn't like about the book was the "sweetness and light" of some of the Esther episodes. Early on it made me want to put the book down (or throw it at a puppy,) but eventually I got swept along by the amazingly complex narrative. I realize this review is long and rambling (and getting longer and more rambling by this little postscript) and I could go on and on about fifty different scenes in this book that elated, saddened or otherwise moved me, so I'll just leave it at this: This book is sad, funny, tender, thrilling, heart-breaking, and Mr. Smallweed is kind of a dick.

From back cover... "TINK AND TERENCE are best friends. But sometimes Terence, well . . . he gets on Tink's last nerve. So when Terence accidentally squashes Tink's favorite bowl, her anger flares up and she lets him have it! But Tink soon realizes she made a mistake. How can she make it up to Terence? With a bunch of Never flowers? Or legendary pixie dust? Tink sets off an an epic quest through Never Land. She's never failed before . . . and she's not about to start now!" This is another cute fairy book Isabella and I read together. We love this series because of the fun fairy adventures, stunning illustrations, and excellent lessons learned from everyday life. In this book, Tink loses her temper with her good friend Terence. We learn a lot about regret, making up, and forgiveness. It has wonderful lessons to be learned!

I have read 2 other books by Mary Alice Monroe and she has not disappointed me yet! I picked up Time Is a River because it takes place in the Asheville, NC area and I recently visited there. I could visualize the mountains and streams she wrote about and I wanted to jump on a plane and revisit the area. The book has a good mixture of survival, mystery, betrayal, light romance and fly fishing (yes! fly fishing!) and you could feel how much Monroe enjoys and reveres the natural world. Ever thought how fly fishing mirrors the art of living? Her quotes such as, "There are times when the storm clouds roll in and lightning flashes above that you have to use common sense and get out of the water", apply to life as well. Good, enjoyable read!

Worth a read.

Eh, okay, it is pretty stupid. Not a self-help book, though it sounds like one. It has spawned an excellent phenomenon of boys I adore rendering some of the caricatures drawn by this silly little tome: Jasper is the crystal meth boyfriend; Luke the insufferable bore. So it is worth a laugh if you have a creative bone in your body and a room full of former theatre nerds.

This book is utterly amazing, and made me want to read all of Baldwin's books. Everyone should read it. Everyone, that is.

i never realized what great wit and wisdom i'd missed by never reading Buckley in National Review.

This book was a fun story. Ramses is one sexy, hunky, dominate male. My only complaint is about the heroine, Katherine. She drove me nuts because she would NOT tell Ramses the truth. I love the way he informs her...she is his betrothed and they will be married.
