I'm reading Allingham's Campion series in order, and this was next on my list - interesting, but I had a hard time getting into it. I think it was because of the Palinode family, around whom the mystery (such as it is) evolves. I kept getting the impression I was supposed to find them charming and whimsical, but I just found them rather pathetic and obnoxious (made it hard to be sympathetic to them as characters, needless to say). Also, the previous two installments of the series ("Traitor's Purse" and "Pearls Before Swine") had rather heroic, James Bondesque plots with the monolithic menace of World War II overshadowing the action, and it felt as if Campion's action (or failure to act in time) would lead to some horrific, unspeakable event. Here, Allingham takes us to Apron Street, a tucked away corner of dreary post-war London. Mysterious deaths can't be explained away by Scotland Yard, so Campion and a very welcome Lugg are recruited to move into a boarding house and infiltrate the locals. Colorful characters abound, and my favorite scenes are those with Lugg and Campion; having said that, I just couldn't sink my teeth into this one! Other reviews I've read have pointed out the rather esoteric conversation of the Palinodes as the reason some readers might be put off; I didn't have a problem comprehending them and their crumbling sense of entitlement and class-consciousness, I just didn't find them very engaging characters.

I think Cornell West is a great theorist about race. I've only read one of his books but I would like to read more. He's a charismatic speaker, too.

I read this for a Gothic Literature paper in Junior College. Highly influential book examining the duality of man. Perhaps suffers from the fate of too many gothic novels of repute in being overdramitised in film and other mediums.

Carl hiassan is ever an advocate of preserving south Florida environments from money grubbing developers and polluters. This book as his others blends humour with the lesson of environmental awareness and preservation. I have enjoyed all of his books. they are laugh out loud funny!! Enjoy

He captures what traveling is like in Africa, so well, and he did it in the mid 20th century! I loved reading this book.

This book was great! I really liked the story and the characters. But, I would have given this five starts if it wasn't for a few things. First, the way that scenes flowed from one to another was kinda confusing sometimes. There's not a gap in all of the scene changes so you have to go back and read where the new scene started. Second, I don't know if I just wan't paying attention, but the day after Nora goes out with Patch, Vee asks about the date and I don't remember Nora telling her about it. And the third thing that REALLY bugged me was the way that Becca Fitzpatrick just listed everything Nora did. Example: "I splashed cold water on my face, scrubbed my teeth, and tamed my hair into a rubber band. In my bedroom I pulled on a clean shirt, clean jeans. I called Vee." (386) Umm, okay. And i care about this, why? A character needs to be driven to do something. And I don't see how Nora was driven to do all that random stuff. Fitzbatrick could have easily written "I got ready for the day and called Vee." Okay, sorry about my rant, but it's over now. I know it sounds like I hated it, but I really did like the book. I like the character of Patch. I can see how some people might relate the book to Twilight, but it's not THAT similar. There are only a few things, like meeting in biology. But to the people that wont read this book because they don't like Twilight, that's CRAZY! This is a completely different story! And a good story at that! I can't wait to read the next book!!!

I read two-thirds of this book and I can't get myself to read more. The main character Merle was interesting at first, (the premise as well) but right in the middle of it, she becomes something she hasn't yet been in personality. It was almost as if the author created this character and her personality, but then had to go back and create a story to support it. As a reader I felt like I couldn't trust the author to give me consistancy. As I skimmed through the last couple of chapters, I see that the girl is just barely going to begin her adventure and the whole book has led up to nothing, but... a second book. Lame.
