Byron Gibson fbg111da6e — Now THIS is an American horror story. I've read Song of Solomon, The Bluest Eye, and Jazz, but somehow I'd never gotten around to Beloved. While there is still a lot of the trademark Morrison lyricism and metaphor, there is a terrible, barn burning STORY at the center. Terrifying and important literature that is still a joy to read.

井 越 jingyue — I love C.S. Lewis! I first read this book as a teen and I never forgot that Screwtape felt it was a particular victory when he got his "temptee" to pray without kneeling. For quite a while afterwards I made an effort to kneel when I prayed! This is thought provoking and well worth the read.

Renata Macedo remacedo — Bill Simmons's writing is a little self-indulgent for me, but it was nice to relive the 2004 season. Best part was his footnote about Afleet Alex.

Saralisa Volm saralisavolm — I picked this book up randomly off the shelf of the woman a babysit for--who has a huge thing for historical fiction. Apparently this is THE lesbian fiction novel to read, and I have to say, it's a good novel to boot. The setting (fin de siecle London) is delightful, the plot intruiguing, and yes, the sex was hot. It was definitely one of those books that I put off doing important stuff to read.

Rey Rey rcbautista9118 — I didn't adore this as much as I did The Secret History; possibly because it just simply didn't have the page turning thrill that the last book had. That doesn't mean that it's not damn impressive though, and a book that I read quite slowly in order to savour it for as long as possible. As ever, the characterisation is wonderful. Harriet and Hely, Charlotte and Ida Rhew, Farish and Gum, Edie and Eugene were all drawn wonderfully. Complex and never really likeable, they were all still very engaging. I thought Tartt did a wonderful job of slowly teasing out the different aspects of their characters as the book progressed. The sense of atmosphere and place was the most impressive part, though. Even for someone who's never been further south than South Carolina, her writing was very evocative of the oppressive heat of the southern landscape. I don't know if I would describe it necessarily as Southern Gothic, though, as I've seen a couple of reviewers do. It seems to me to be much more along the lines of a Suburban Gothic story, if that makes any sense. If you changed a few details, it's a story which could easily be transplanted to a small, close-knit community nearly anywhere in the world. The ending was the weakest part of the book for me. Not because the mystery of Robin's murder was never solved - that was initially annoying, though I can see thematically and tonally why it was necessary - but because the last fifty to a hundred pages or so seemed so rushed. In a novel the size of this (555 pages in hardback), such a sudden faltering of pace seems very lamentable. The climax seemed rushed, and the ending itself seemed jagged and abrupt. Perhaps these are problems which will resolve themselves on re-reading, however.

2kizi 2kizi 2kizi — I really like NASB and this Bible is the perfect size. Thank goodness I didn't buy it for the so-called "large print" because it is not "large" at all. More like size 10 or 11 font.
