Akshay Lahoti akshaylahoti — Fantasy. At the University of the Archangels and St. John The Divine, the angels are a little more real than Katherine Sweeney Cassidy ever expected. Her first day of classes, she answers a question that maybe she shouldn't have and suddenly it's like she's stepped into a whole different world. Eighteen years ago, this was one of my favorite books. I could see it had problems; I just didn't care. I loved the hot, mysterious atmosphere of the fake university with its fake secret society, plopped down in a D.C. that had no room for it. I loved its timelessness, the promise of destiny, Sweeney's yearning for her new, beautiful friends. It pushed my buttons. I love the story about the normal girl who gets pulled into a world beyond her understanding, and so I ignored the overly poetic mystical prose. I ignored the fact that Sweeney's first person narrative was constantly interrupted by chapters in clumsy third person omniscient. And I especially ignored that Dylan, and, fine, Sweeney herself, seemed to be lacking all but the most basic of personalities. This time through I couldn't ignore those things. The end still got me in that soft, wish fulfillment place, but the rest was just messily overwrought and confusing. Way too much pretentious mystical detail and repetitive worshipful chanting that I totally skipped over, eyes rolling, tongue slightly sticking out. It just, the whole thing seems unlikely. Why are we bringing back this female goddess if she's just going to destroy the world? What's the plan there? And Sweeney—she can tell me that she turned her heart off after that first disastrous month of college, but that makes for an empty, boring adult, and a bland narrator. Bottom line: Mysterious happenings. Ancient gods. The swampy heat of Washington, D.C. Prose so purple it's magenta. Lots of queer characters. Some sexy stuff. Lots of blood and murder. At least one scene that's genuinely spooky. But the story has a heavy touch, and its sense of mystery doesn't last long. Mainly because of all the over-explaining. Three stars. I loved it once. This time it was only okay.

Kaique Xavier kaiquexavier — So far, so good. I found the section on ventilation very enlightening—a subject I had thought far too little about. Thorough and very focused. This book is definitely a useful resource for anyone preparing to build with straw.

Yosafat Nájera _ocho — A great book! Really helped me understand the characters more, as well as the background to the underlying stories. Found it harder to read than I thought - the language, although I loved it, had me concentrating more, to get into the flow of it. It also wasn't a page turner as such, as I knew the story line, so wasn't necessarily hanging off every page to find out what happens next. A great read in any case. A must read!

Nofal Jamal nofal231250f9 — Interesting tidbit: the CIA used the script/set designs from a film version to aid in the freeing of hostages in Tehran. See: www.lordoflight.com/cia.html www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.05/fea...

Rafik Nour rafiknour91 — This is based on a real book, and poses the premise on the people who've touched or owned it throughout its history. Intriguing.

Carlos Fernandez cfernandezdesign — This is your classic page-turner and bestseller. Cliched, predictable both in terms of plot and characters. Uninspiring rehashing of themes like overcoming tragedy and adversity; the contrast between the ruthless, stress-filled corporate environment and the simpler, idealised fulfillment found in a ranching/farming life. New York magazine editor supermom just has to go over to Wyoming to find meaning and of course end up the arms of our well muscled, handsome cowboy with his homespun philosophy and wisdom. The sad fact is that I, along with millions of other people not only bought the book but consumed it - not read but consumed - and in one four and half hour sitting no less. If you have a copy, do yourself a favour - save the time and dump the book now, before you too fall prey to this hogwash.

Sal Sal inceva — A little strange in transitions but good plot twist.

Leticia Mendoza emilybueno20b1 — One of my all-time favorites.
