Amazing I loved it and the way it was written. I couldnt put it down!

Interesting and suspensful just as I would expect from this author. Mr. Dekker spends his efforts exploring identity, if our identity can be changed, and the difficulty of knowing our true selves. I really liked how the author, in his other books, created a picture of a possible spiritual reality that challenged the way I think of things. I found that picture and challenge missing in this story. Realizing after I finished reading that this was a #2 in a series, I'm hopefull that going back to the start of the series will satisfy this part of what I was hoping for in this story.

A well written book with great pictures. It's one of the first that I reach for when I need to reference a Thai Massage posture.

The first of the Amelia Peabody series! Peters wanted to have each title in the series be a quotation from an ancient inscription, and she nearly accomplished that goal (the publishers made her change the second in the series to Curse of the Pharaohs). Crocodile on the Sandbank, if you have read Amelia Edwards's A Thousand Miles up the Nile, will seem familiar, as will Radcliffe Emerson if you are at all familiar with Flinders Petrie (the "father of scientific archaeology"). The whole series is wonderful, and since MPM has her PhD in Egyptology, also well-researched (with lots of funny tidbits for Egyptophiles to root out). I recommend reading them in order, although each conceivably can stand alone (but it's a gas to see them all grow up/old). "Tell me, Evelyn--what is it like? Is it pleasant?" (18)

There is no denying that ‘Engleby’, whose alternative title might well be ‘The Diary of a Madman’, is a clever and well written book. Its main character is a working-class boy who becomes a brilliant scholar despite an upbringing marred by abuse and bullying. His story is told in the first person in a kind of diary form or memoir. As the narrative progresses his personality seems to undergo a transformation and the image of a lonely,downtrodden but essentially nice boy, gradually disappear to be replaced by a person suffering from a personality disorder which might or might not be responsible for the death of a university female student. Recollections of Engleby’s life are interspersed with extracts from the girl’s diary which was ‘borrowed’ during a visit to the victims house. The eponymous hero, or in this case anti-hero, comes across as someone to be pitied rather than being sympathised with. The challenge to the reader is to discover whether what he is being told is the truth or purely the fantasy of a deluded man. When I read that he was drugged to his eyeball most of the time as well as ingesting large quantities of alcohol, I found the character less believable. Also difficult to reconcile are his memory lapses with his assertion that: “I have a world in my mind, in the inexhaustible repertoire of my memory. I can recall at will, note-perfect, from the reams I have stored there.” The device of quoting what purports to be the final entry in Jennifer’s diary to cast doubt on the sequence of events doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. An interesting but flawed novel, in my opinion.

Bookended (almost) with two rather exceptional stories, "Ambrose His Mark" and "Anonymiad", with an absolute knockout in the middle, John Barth's Lost in the Funhouse astonishes and disappoints in almost equal measure. When he's on, as in the aforementioned stories, he's almost unbeatable, and when he's not on (almost every other story in the collection), he's almost unbearable. The postmodern bent to most of the stories contained here largely works against the author, though when employed well, is both playful and poignant. "Lost in the Funhouse" is, for all intents and purposes, a perfect short story. The imagery (the funhouse mirrors, which Barth revisits through repeated phrases in the story) and the keen eye for detail (Ambrose wonders if he could see forever in the funhouse mirrors by using a periscope, thus employing the imagery of the Second World War that hangs over every scene in the story) enable the it to rise above his constant infatuation with the seams in the narrative. That is, these characters exist doubtlessly as characters, and yet he is still able to breathe life into them and, to employ a tired phrase, make them come alive on the page. Ambrose's awkwardness is impeccably crafted, and his disdain for the world (the desire for a button to immediately and painlessly end one's life, and yet the understanding to note the ticket taker wasn't cruel, only "vulgar and insensitive") feels real and believable. And all the good will that he earns from so beautifully crafting a story like "Lost in the Funhouse," he wastes on "Menelaiad." I'm certain that there's an audience for this pretentious nonsense, but I am certainly not among them. I'd recommend stories from this collection, though I'd hesitate to recommend the whole book. A familiarity with Greek mythology is recommended.

A fun way to imagine what comes after. Not that I believe there's an after!

A very interesting take on the after-life...
