This started off pretty well, I thought, with the writer speaking directly to her subject (a turn-of-the-century Chinese prostitute in San Francisco). Bold post-modernish device, promising setting. But then she gets more and more heavy-handed, and after a while the studiedly spare prose really starts to feel like it's trying way too hard for *something* (one is never quite sure what, alas). And then it all goes *really* bad when the writer begins to load her politics (mostly feelings about immigration & the place of Asian immigrants in the US *today*) onto a tale that just can't bear that weight.

Doesn't the title say it all? The artwork is amazing, too.

The plot of this paranormal, contemporary mystery moves at a brisk pace, and the writing is tight, with no filler. The author has woven the mystery so neatly, with perfectly placed clues and red herrings, that the reader is kept guessing until the big reveal. Full review at Reading Everywhere.

This is the sequel to A Perfect Evil. It did not maintain my attention as good as A Perfect Evil.

Merrick's story had so many plot twists, but it was easy to keep up, because it's ANNE RICE!!

I knew I would finish this book today and it has been such an interesting book! The Wives of Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser takes its reader through each wife, how they overlapped and the events surrounding their marriage to King Henry VIII. I wanted to read this book as I am currently about 3 episodes into the final season of the Tudors and I thought it would make a nice compliment to what was being shown on screen. Never having much English history myself, Antonia Fraser (who herself is of noble blood) provides background on each of the six wives, their connections, and events of and surrounding their marriage to arguably one of England's most famous kings. Fraser brings to life a rich history and makes note of events which many seem to either forget or not know. I found each story interesting but the book was slightly bland. The one thing that I had a hard time with this book was keeping track of how everybody was related and who was related to whom. If I was confused, I'm sure it must have been confusing to those in the 16th century, many of which could not read or write. Fraser points out in both the preface and epilogue her reasons for writing the book and I feel they are excellent. She wants to put down some of the stereotypes associated with the wives such as Anne Bolynn the temptress. Fraser points out that for the most part, these women were victims of a society in which they were just property. Yes, they may have had some say but at most times they were just pawns in a game played by their fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews, and sons. What was most interesting is what happened to each wife after her marriage to the king ended. Yes, two of them were beheaded, a third died in childbirth, but the other three lived on. If you don't know the story of Henry the VIII (This book is as much about him as is it about his wives) or the beyond the scenes stuff of his wives, then this book is a must read.

The story of a Dutch family hiding from the Nazis and finding daily ways to oppose them. Very deep reading, which illustrates that faith in something can do miracles.

Just loved this book. So many moments of pure realism. And the voice--at once intimate and artful. Baxter writes the way people talk and feel. At one point I burst ino tears, actually sobs, real sobs. So unexpected, this novel.

I think Dorothy Parker is proof that good writing is times and that the more society changes the more it stays the same. Witty, bitter, brittle, whimsical. All of my favorite things
