Youngsun Park ekilm — I enjoyed how the events in the book shaped the main character life, even though he spent most of his life avoiding the memory of it. Very understated, but remarkably poignant. I really want to read Siegfried, his other book about Hitler's secret child!

O-young Mora moraoyoung — Again the over all story is interesting and I think needs to be reflected on as far as the whole good/evil

Reynaldo Lass indianropetrick — A mysterious personage wishes to rid his/her family home of *gasp* boarders so he/she devises a plan to have the young people married off and out of the house. The first in this series involves Finch More, who, along with her brother, runs an antiquities business. Viscount Ross Kilrood is the next door neighbor who has retained the services of More & More to secure some packages that, when united, comprise an artifact very valuable to a small foreign municipality. Both the interference of this mysterious personage and the villains who wish to secure the artifact for their own purposes complicate this matter. Although this plot seems quite straightforward, the various personages involved do not always act with cohesive motivations. It seems the characters change their behavior in order to advance the plot, and not in a way that one would expect from the established qualities of their personalities. Also, the final climactic scene was confusing, as motives and connections were revealed that I felt had not been at all hinted at. For instance one individual who had acted quite villainously was revealed to have been a good guy all along, which didn’t really play for me. However, the intrigue did wrap up at least satisfactorily with few ends still loose. In addition, Stella Cameron writes some of the best sex scenes I’ve ever read. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tended to skip those parts, but I read straight through every one of hers. To address the aforementioned ‘mysterious personage:’ Cameron has employed the device of revealing this person’s thoughts to the reader through a series of italicized chapters written almost in the style of a letter. This was confusing as I thought this person was employing other people, possibly another character in the story, to assist him/her in his/her goal. However, I currently believe the missives are directed at us, the readers, although I am still not sure. Also, Cameron includes some ‘historical’ information at the end designed, I believe, to induce us to regard this series of tales as ‘true.’ I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series, especially as the identity of this mysterious personage, as that was not revealed in this first volume.

Prasetha Pillai prasethapb84e — One of the great novelist's most popular works, Oliver twist is also the purest distillation of Dickens' genius.

Level 3 Question How can a story like Oliver twist happen today?

Matthew Bennett _ennett_ — This book was horrible! I really was interested in hearing about the details about a family's experience with internment. You know when you start a chapter of a book and the author just spends a bit of time trying to describe some details before he or she starts in with the characters and real information? Well, that was the whole book. I kept wondering when the story would really start and it never did. The author obviously tried to be artsy. Sorry but it didn't work. A book needs to engage and tell a flowing story.
