Highly regarded by many reviewers and experts on the subject.

This was never one of my favourite Dahl books, but I think I'll have to read it again to justify that. I have loved all his books and want to read them all again.

I've always enjoyed reading the Sophie Kinsella shopoholic books, but find it just a bit unbelievable at times (I keep thinking this woman should be bankrupt or featured on Hoarders by the third or fourth book). What I enjoyed about this book was that the main character, Lara, was much more believable; and I loved the premise. Her great aunt, who Lara has never met, dies at 105. Lara, while beligerantly attending her funeral, finds that she is being haunted by a twenty year old flapper, who is her great aunt Sadie ! Sadie sends Lara on a quest for a dragonfly necklace that always made her happy, and was lost recently before her death. She also ends up wanting one more date (with dancing) before she goes away, so basically forces Lara to ask a total stranger out on a date and then proceeds to outfit her great niece in full flapper regalia before the date. The book has great pacing, laugh out loud moments, and a heart warming story in the midst of it all.

This is not a book I would normally have picked up for myself, but I wound up really getting into it. I do love historical fiction, so I guess it was not too much of a stretch, but I don't typically go for spy novels. This one is well written and engaging. I'd definitely read more by Furst.

I recently played a computer game based on this book. I was quite surprised by the ending, however, as it was different from the computer game and much more inventive.

Bought this for 99 cents on my nook. It was surprisingly good. I liked the story and the main character. My only real complaint was how easily the "romance" happened - it wasn't believable to me. But the rest of the plot moved quickly and was a very complex, well-developed crime novel. I really found myself wanting to know who did it and how they were going to be caught! And it had a good surprise ending that i didn't see coming.

The story was very well-written, but I found some of the basic assumptions that were required to make the plotline work dubious at best. If there were that many parallel universes involved, and tiny, but noticable differences appeared just from one to the next, it seems to me that there would be much more noticable, much more significant changes by the time you got to universe 2410. Therefore, the various "Janeways", "Chakotays", etc, would come up with much more varied responses than these did; they were so identical that they made the same decisions in every single case. Surely in some cases, there would have been an away team sent to the planet, and in other cases, not. In some cases, the away team would have varied just a tad, it wouldn't necessarily have icluded the same four people every time; maybe sometimes, Janeway would have gone herself, rather than send Chakotay. In others, maybe Paris would have been busy with other things, or would have been a touch under the weather. Maybe in some cases, Tuvok would have been sent instead of Kes. There are plenty of variables in such a decision; there's no reason to think that the same decision would be made in every single parallel universe. Certainly, when the situation was different, different decisions might be made, so we might have had different (or non-existent) away teams when there was a populated planet, and when there was a ghost planet. I also find it somewhat dubious, for the same reason, that in every single universe, they came up with the same solution. Maybe there wasn't a better solution available, but surely, in some cases, they would have failed to come up with that solution, and offered less-workable solutions. At the very least, in a parallel universe that differed so much from ours that in it, a planet that existed in our universe is rubble in the other, there might be more noticable differences, and in those realities even farther away than that (on the other side of that one) differences would begin to rapidly accumulate. As I say, the story was well-written, the concept interesting if dubious, the characterizations well-handled. I just have difficulty suspending disbelief sufficiently to swallow the basic plot concept.

This book is a lot of fun for when you walk by St. Archibald of Poughkeepsie's Cathedral and you want to know who the hell that is. Also, how these people get away with being called saints, with some of the stuff they got up to? Beyond me. Comforting, anyway, that Catholics put their money where their mouths are as far as everyone having the potential to be saved.
Edward P. Jones' work of historical fiction is unlike any I've ever read. Jones uses time to create an intricate web between the characters and their stories. Instead of using chronological events to develop the characters, his narration jumps back and forth.. filling in gaps, thereby illustrating in great detail, the layers of each character. In addition to the historical content and the allusions to certain events that took place in the antebellum south, Jones' main character Henry Townsend represents an under-studied, highly controversial "subject" (for lack of a better word).. Free African-Americans who owned slaves. Henry Townsend's experience throughout the novel, first as a slave child favored by his master (who bought him his first slave)and later freed.. is a perfect depiction of Anna Freud's "identification with the aggressor." This book is fascinating, and I would recommend it to anyone & everyone.

3.5 stars Review is slightly spoilerish "Of course, it's important. I know you. Nothing would make you bother the police for a joke. With you, it's always something important-you're about to be murdered, or else commit suicide, or perhaps you've decided to involve the Royal Family in some fiendish scandal, or disobey the Pope." Hah! This is the third book in a long series, and this review will be rather brief to avoid spoiling events from the prior novels, Angelique (Book 1) and Angélique and the King (Book 2). At the end of book two, Angelique learned that her supposedly dead husband might not be so dead after all, and she's willing to risk everything, including the King's wrath to find him. Despite the heavy police guard placed on her by the express command of Louis XIV, Angélique slips away, and her feminine charms come in quite handy when she needs to wheedle her way onto one of the King's vessels heading for Crete. No surprise, but there's no smooth sailing in Angélique's world and after a battle or two at sea and a shipwreck, she's captured and sold as a slave to the highest bidder - the notorious pirate Rescator. Oh, but the fool escapes and lands herself right into the hands (and harem) of the infamous Sultan of Morocco. Will she survive with her virtue intact, or will that treacherous body of hers betray her once again? "This was the only time in her life that she was ashamed of being a woman and a beautiful one to boot. She could not help thinking of herself as merely a work of art being inspected by some critical collector pondering its material values only. She felt as is (sic) she had been robbed of her soul." I did enjoy this book, although there were times when events dragged on too long for my tastes - there seemed to be a lot of background being set up for events that will happen in the later books. I did notice that the edition I read is from a different translator than some of the other editions and read a bit dryer than those and for that I'm knocking off half a star. Still, jolly good fun and next up is Angelique in Revolt (Book 4).
