Abandoning this for now, decided to save this for the A Year of Dickens -reading challenge.

This book is amazing. Seattle Mystery Bookshop recommended it as their best book with a comment like "how did the awards miss this one" and they were (as always) dead right. Non-stop action, compelling book. Then I read everything else I could get by Don Winslow and they are all this good. (Definitely rated R for drug use, language, and violence--but if you like movies like The Departed, you'll like this book.)

I loved 'em! I always feel like I'm in the story with the characters. I couldnt put this book down! The stories would make me cry, laugh, && feel everything that the main character felt. It's awesome! I love the mysteries && the romance(: If you havent read these you're missing out, BIG TIME!!!

Loved this book. It's about Sierra Leone and illegal diamond trading -- so-called Blood Diamonds or Conflist Diamonds. I am so fascinated by West African history and exploitation that I might never read a novel again! The whole idea of colonialism and imperialism and its effects are very interesting. I don't know, it just really makes you think. You start to see what happens when you put resources of a country before its people. And I've talked about it before, but I just find it incredible fascinating that before white people discovered these diamonds, the African people could have cared less about them. And now Africans are fighting Africans about these little stones. Don't read this book though if you ever plan on wanting to wear a diamond. Because you'll never want one again!! It all just seems so silly.

this is one of the books that helped me define my own philosophies and whatnot when I was younger and I'm reading it again now and it's still awesome and I can write run-ons if I want. The translation by Red Pine is my favorite, I've read several and somehow it seems the most profound.

This book is hard to review.It isn't really science-fiction in the normal sense of the word. In fact I would almost label it as "religious fiction" as most of it's main themes are religious and philosophical, and besides some vague references to "lasers" and some things I can't mention due to spoilers. There is little in this book that you wouldn't see at least once in normal life. It's best if you go in knowing little about the plot but you may want to read about the author a little first so you can appreciate its autobiographical nature. Overall, though I didn't agree with all views presented in it, it was brilliantly executed and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good book that involves some thinking. Enjoy!

This moves along with humor and old-fashioned New Englandness (is that a word?) and I expected to give it a solid four stars. But the ending made my heart sing and I will not feel stingy. I quibbled with Cheever off and on in this. There are two aging/elderly female characters who are single, wealthy, use that wealth to wield power, and wish to live in a chaste world. Well, almost. Honora Wapshot wants to leave her wealth to her nephews, but only if they produce sons. In any case, I could not relate to either of these women on any of the above points. Their wealth and power and wishes are not mine. There is quite a bit of lusting going on here and often it is fulfilled. Not explicitly, of course, as this was first published in 1957. Cheever is especially humorous when the lusting is only wishful. Much of the lusting equates with love. I cheered and smiled, smiled and cheered. The Goodreads blurb describes Cheever's works as ... express[ing] a nostalgia for a vanishing way of life, characterized by abiding cultural traditions and a profound sense of community, as opposed to the alienating nomadism of modern suburbia. I don't know if "nostalgia" is quite the right word, but this world was certainly vanishing when this was first published and is probably now gone. I expect that many in my generation, and the few of the prior generation still around, will feel Cheever is familiar. Younger folk may wonder why this is special.
