I'll never forget this book and absolutely love it, despite the fact that it's a Hemingway novel. Bullfighting, chauvinism, clipped sentences and somehow all these things I normally hate combine to make a novel that's genuinely compelling and subtly brilliant.

Some comments: - The case in Death Trick is later referenced in Tongue Tied (so the time span between these two books is 1979 to 2000?). - Death Trick is a bit graphic than the others; there's one explicit sex scene between the protagonist and a minor character of the book. - Death Trick is the first book published in the Donald Strachey series. As first book goes, Death Trick is a great opener, with a right touch of suspense, intrigue and character development.

I'm abandoning this book for the time being. It was interesting, but I had trouble finding anything to tie it all together. I decided to read Shantaram, the novel, and it hss been much more engaging.

A really good memoir of a family escaping from petty thugs and a corrupt police force on Cape Cod. Cylin and John Busby, father and daughter, each flash back to a time in the late 70's when Cylin was nine, and her father, a cop on Cape Cod, was a little too bold about wiping out police corruption, and clearing their town of Falmouth out from the grasp of criminals. The story begins on the night that John is shot in the face, permanently disfiguring him and making basic functions such as eating and drinking nearly impossible. The story covers John's anger at his shooting, his need for revenge, Cylin and her family's fear of another attack,and how their lives all change. The writing was really good from both voices, particularly Cylin Busby, who was the editor and chief of Teen Magazine (I think!) at one point. I hope she goes on to write more, fiction and non-fiction both. I agree with a review that said that John Busby's writing digressed a little too much, but it was a very good description of the paralysis and personal anguish that comes from having an injury as serious as his was. My only question about this book is, why was it published as a teen nonfiction? I wonder if the publisher would only market it that way because Cylin writes from the perspective of a nine year old. My theory is that teen readers would be interested in a lot of what this book covers, but not nearly all of it (John digresses A LOT about things that happened in an era that teens today would consider the stone age), and that adults would be interested in all of it. I wonder if it would have gotten more attention as an adult memoir, especially in the Massachusetts area.

Currently reading again. If you want to know plumb and understand more of the depths of the 5 books of Moses than this book is for you. Maimonides tells you how words are used in the Hebrew texts, as well as providing his and others insights into the texts. The genius of the texts is illuminated as well as the genius of Maimonides.

An alternate history of the "wicked" "witch" of the west. Gives backstory and explains how she might come to behave the way she does in the original Oz tale. Upon second reading of this book, I find it more dense and adult-themed than I had remembered. I still enjoyed the story, but not as much. The political and philosophical meanderings seemed to draw the reader away from the story and not further into it. This may be because I am ten or twelve years older and understand better things that went over my head before. I only finished it a second time because I've been meaning to read Son of a Witch for a while now, and when I started it, I couldn't remember enough about this book to know what was going on in that one. I guess I'll go read it now. Edit: One thing that hit me the first time, and still resonates: "People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us...It's people who claim that they're good, or anyway better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of." -pp. 357

All Smiles is the second in Cameron’s Mayfair Square series. Cameron deftly combines a romantic tale with not one but two separate plots of intrigue upon the main characters. Meg Smiles is a young lady who has found herself in somewhat dire financial straits and when she hears of a Princess moving in across the square who may need a companion for the London Season, she petitions the Princess’ brother, Jean-Marc, Count Etranger to obtain the position. She does not count on falling in love with the Count. Another featured character is the ghost of Sir Septimus Spivey who has made it his goal to rid his ancestral home in Mayfair Square of its lodgers, one of whom is Meg. In the prequel to this novel, Spivey’s identity is not fully revealed, and proved a little confusing. In this installment, we are treated to more information about Sir Spivey and more insight into his goals and plots. The author uses Spivey to address the reader and engage her in his scheme, and Spivey refers to the author herself as ‘that damnable scribbler.’ I’m not sure what Cameron is trying to accomplish by employing this convention, as no reader would be convinced either that the tale is somehow true, or that she had any control over how the events would unfold. It’s annoying, but able to be overlooked in order to enjoy the rest of the story. Cameron’s secondary characters bring much enjoyment to the tale, and as we know there are several more books to come in which other residents of Number 7 Mayfair Square are to be married off (and effectively removed from Number 7 if Spivey has his way), it is interesting to guess who will become involved with whom in books to come. As with the previous novel in this series, who is a ‘good guy’ and who is a ‘bad guy’ is not readily apparent, and there are some quite surprising revelations towards the end. Also, the sexual encounters between the main characters (and a couple of secondary characters) are quite steamy and well written. I would recommend this book to any fan of Regency Romance novels.
