Thiago Baldesin thiagobaldesin — They say there’s a fine line between genius and madness, and author Nicholas Kilmer walks that line quite nicely. A Butterfly in Flame is an exercise in analytical thinking, concentration, and memory. Having never read his previous writings, I was unprepared for his particular style. During the first chapter, I thought to myself, this is the work of a madman. The conversations among the characters were disjointed, occasionally obtuse, and brilliantly clever. By the second chapter, I’d fallen into the rhythm of the work and that made a huge difference in the reading of it. After the third chapter, I could visualize Clark Gable playing the part of Fred Taylor, but opting for a more “lively” actor, I could also see George Clooney portraying him superbly. The mystery is complex and nothing is as it seems. Except Fred. His dissection of the art world and the artists who comprise it is an education in itself. He manages to sleuth his way around the art academy to resolve the mystery while completely mystifying and infuriating the people he’s investigating. He’s mostly honest in his mission and tells them the truth when questioned. Maybe not the whole truth, just enough. But dishonest people who sweep past the truth have a hard time believing it when they hear it. They think he can be bullied and sent packing, and that proves to be their undoing. While conducting his investigation using occasional leaps of logic, Fred Taylor proves to be sharp, witty, honest, and loyal. He’s also unflappable around all the nudity of the models, only once giving any indication his presence around a partially dressed female student might be misconstrued and opting to remain close to an open door. His knowledge of art is astounding, yet he prefers to keep that information relatively unknown in order to maintain a low profile in the art world. If you should happen to find yourself bored with paranormal, fantasy, or thrillers, check out this book. It’s definitely not a light and easy read, but it’s so worth the time spent at a slightly slower pace. And don’t be tempted to skip passages, either, because nearly every passage contains another piece of the puzzle. This is one of those books that you’ll think about for quite a while if only because of the eccentric conversational patterns. Simply addicting.

Ibraheem Moh _bosham — Read this for a bookclub. Stewart is a clear and lucid writer (despite being trained as a lawyer). The story of Milken, Levine, and the junkbond kingpins of the '80s is really amazing: to watch the money build and build, and then watch it all fall apart.

Ahsan Majid _hsanistify — This is one of the few books I'll stop strangers to talk about if I see them reading it.

Daniel Schrempf danschremp0dfa — This book I recommend to every one just in one chapter it gets a little creepy but the rest is just plain awesome!
