I read this years ago but just came back to re-read it again. It's a quirky, bittersweet love story, and McCracken does such a good job of imagining her way into both the giant's body and the mind, and voice, of the woman who loves him. Lovely, sad, weird, and warm all at once.

The kind of fiction I crave a few times a year: engrossing from the first page with enough depth to be real yet uplifting before it gets too heavy. Stock characters, for sure, but a breezy read. The thinking person's beach book, perhaps?

First in the Moon books. Really good story. Were/PI falls for genetic researcher targeted by killer. If you enjoy a good Were novel - this is one.

I finally finished this. It's been sitting on my nightstand 1/2 read for too long. The characters are seemingly normal suburbanites charged with conflicts that plague them quietly under their veneer of 'normal'. Following their confusions about themselves is bearable for the first 250 pages, then the story plateaus. If you can make it through, the last 10 pages come out of nowhere giving the book a terribly surprise ending.

This was a really clever gradual unfolding of friendship and the suffering undergone by the captive population of Guernsey during the occupation of the Third Reich during the early 1940's. Its all recounted by letters and as a result of this I have seen it compared favourably and unfavourably to ' 84 Charing Cross Road ' and its letter technique but this is surely an unfair comparison as the latter is not a novel recounting an imagined story and imagined love and friendship which can always have twists and turns to tweak the heart strings but rather a true account through the letters of a man and women coming to sympathy and friendship through the books they hunt and find. This novel, for such it is, is a quite different creation. A writer is contacted by a man from the island who has come into possession of one of her books and, using the address in the flyleaf( see mum there is some point to doing that even if in pencil ), he writes to her and thus begins the narrative as through his and her letters and those of the other members of the eponymous society this incredible recounting of german occupation and cruelty, german courage and generosity, islander decency, courage and love, islander snobbery, blind stupidity and predjudice opens out. The thing I found impressive is the letters did resonate with different voices which was wonderful this being a hazard sometimes not overcome in books where a number of narrators contribute. The one caveat in my song of praise, well two actually, firstly i did wonder whether there were slightly too many letter writers and that subtracted from the overall affect but that would be a very minor criticism the larger would be concerning the character of the island bitch who wrote a number of ridiculously stupid letters dipped in bigotry and predjudice; i don't think I am particularly innocent or naive and know, sadly, that i am not unusually pleasant but I always find this type of blind bigotry and rudeness unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, I realize there are horrible people around but in novels of this type the petty viciousness and cruelty seems to be there more often to move plot along or to creat a hiss boo pantomime villain then to fill a genuine aspect of human reality. Having said that, this was a book I really loved. It was astoundingly moving and heartbreaking in parts, the journey of the main characters to ' fulfillment' was emminently satisfying and believable and the humour expressed in the letters was sometimes laugh out loud funny. I think it is so worth reading if you want the opportunity to smile, laugh, sharply intake breath, whimper, sob out loud and then smile some more...not necessarily in that order but you get my drift. I promise you, you will be smiling at the end.

A very short story - the movie is actually better than the book, I think.

This is one of the strangest collections of stories and essays. With an obvious influence from Kafka, Borges shows the absurdity of the world by showing how the accumulation of knowledge creates a puzzle of labyrinthine proportions. All knowledge, all books, are a part of one gigantic "atemporal and anonymous" entity. This thinking is a great influence on Eco, whose labyrinth of a library in "The Name of the Rose" is guarded by "Brother Jorge".

This is easily one of the best books I have ever read, if not the best. It was captivating and I found it so difficult to put the book down, even for five minutes, and all I wanted to do all day was read. It takes a lot to get genuine emotional reactions out of me, but at several points this book had me laughing or close to tears, and I believe that is one of the marks of a truly great author. George R.R. Martin is one of those rare gifted people who were just born to write: his characters are all so real and layered, complicated and terrifying and it was so easy to invest in them and sympathise with their individual stories and emotions at any given time. The way Martin shifts between different perspectives without it becoming awkward is beyond admirable, and he manages to make each character fascinating and unique. Honestly I could gush about this book all day but instead I'll keep this review short and sweet. This book is pure brilliance, perfect in every way, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It doesn't matter if you like fantasy; this book is just remarkable.

What a perfect time to read this. I had this book in my drawer at work and would read it on occasional lunch breaks. However, the last few months have been very trying for me as I took a job that I thought would be a job I would be at for a long long time, only to find that I worked for a Miranda Priestly. My boss was not as demanding, but demanding in other spectrums she was. I too left my job knowing that I should not have to put up with the BS like Andrea did. Very inspiring.
