This book surprised me greatly. I have to say I may be biased as I heard Victor read a passage from it and being an avid proponent of cross-dressing and drag it moved me profoundly. Taking that into account, I identified greatly with the main character Terry, though I can't imagine the things that he was subjected to over the course of the story but Victor explained his characters' thoughts and viewpoints so well that I wasn't upset or incredulous at any point. I totally understood the motivations and opinions of the characters. I was pleasantly surprised by the end and very happy that things worked out (in a way) for Terry. This book was wild and unpredictable. A fantastic read from start to finish.

Horrifying. Reading this book was possibly the most wrenching literary experience of my life. Exhaustively researched and noted (the narrative covers barely more than half of the book's 430 printed pages, the rest are notes, references, etc.), this must be considered the most important and complete historical account of what is, without any question, the blackest hour of LDS church history. As a Mormon myself, I have no words for that awful scene. The historians do an admirable job of placing the massacre in its proper historical context, and they are unflinching in their condemnation of its perpetrators, regardless of what the Latter-day Saints had endured in their relatively short history and what they feared was coming at the hands of the government and other settlers. Certainly those who planned and carried out the murders recognized that there was no excuse for what they had done. I am not a big "moral of the story" kind of reader, but this book ought to give anyone, and certainly Mormons in particular, pause. The fact that otherwise good faithful church leaders allowed themselves to be caught up in the frenzied paranoia of that moment to such a degree that they would even consider, let alone carry out, this atrocity should cause each of us to think about our assumptions, how we might allow our emotions, assumptions, and personal fears to govern our actions. We dare not assume that such a deed could not be emulated, to one degree or another, in our day.

I'm giving this book tooo much credit. It was an absolute bore, and I think it took me 3 months to finish reading it. I think I still feel bad for Anju to this day..and she doesn't even exist!!

This is still my favorite McCarthy book by a really big margin. It is enjoyable to read, not so ridiculously dense it's unmanagable and not nearly as dark as his later stories. I might be the only one in America but I liked the movie too.

One great big thing I like about Connie Willis’s novels, including this one, is that she doesn’t dumb things down for the reader. Almost no time is spent explaining the situation at hand; the reader is thrown directly into a high-speed tale, without a net, and is forced to glean as she or he can all the forces at work as the action progresses, and picks up speed. In this gripping tale, collegiate history students are traveling back in time (from the year 2060 to WWII, mostly the year 1940) for research projects. In this novel are colorful and harrowing details of the Blitz in London and the Dunkirk evacuation. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, maybe even more than her “Passage,” and am excited because the story does not end with “Blackout,” but continues in the novel “All Clear,” which is on my short list of to-read-soonish.

When I first read this book it instilled in me a wonderous vision. When I read it again it filled me with a critical history. When I picked it up a few years later, I read it as a man searching. In this, it's great. This book changed the direction of my life. It was not because I was lost, for I still am lost today, but it showed me that people do change the worlds in changing themselves. The book is an autobiographical account of an Austrian Jew named Leopold Weiss who through time and experience becomes Muhammad Asad. This is a vignette of his life from his childhood in Europe to his work in Jerusalem and his wandering in Arabia at the behest of then King AbdulAziz Ibn al-Saud. Asad is a journalist, and his book is a wonderful anecdote. The stories are great, but moreso is the weightiness of his message. It's written in an old world style when there was a heroism to that which people did. The house of Saud is characterized as one rarely sees them... human. But amidst its history, religion, and talks of self, there is this idea of journeying towards something. I like this book the same reason I like Kerouac , but it means more simply on part with its religious undertone, and the nature of the man. Asad's book leaves him after Arabia, but, in life, he goes on to serve in the U.N., translate an authoritative scholaraly version of the Quran, and befriend kings, ministers, and people who shaped the 20th century. This less review than hero-worship, but if the first chapter doesn't grab you. I'd say nothing I review will.
