As a fan of the Preston and Child Pendergast series, I was interested to read this true story by Douglas Preston and the award winning and gutsy Italian journalist Mario Spezi. What an unexpected pleasure reading this true crime story was. I continue to love Italy and Florence, but was astounded by the flagrant misuse of judicial power described in this book. It is important to note that this is not an Italian problem it is a universal problem, for which this was an excellent representation. Over the past few years in this country we have seen how unfounded, far out theories can take on the patina of validity when dispersed on the internet, but it is usually politicians here and not judges and prosecutors who fall for the lies, or appear to whenever it enhances their political drawing power. I was actually very scared for Mr. Spezi and Mr. Preston as I read this story. Having missed the story on Dateline NBC and other sources, this was all new to me and all the more frightening. Some will be disappointed that the ending is not tied up with a clear resolution of all that went before, but real life is like that. The afterword also provided information that was brand new to me and reinforced why people such as Mignini and Giuttari cannot be allowed to stay in positions of authority, when their reputations are shown to be so tainted. I commend the authors on their determination to find the truth and their courage in the face of unwarranted attacks. A free press is the cornerstone of a democracy, wherever that democracy exists on the globe.

I know it's trite, but I love this book. There's a reason it is a classic.

This collection of novel excerpts and accompanying query letters -- a collective of pitches -- deserves five stars just for the genius of its idea. In a changing (and thinning) publishing market, where getting any agent's or publisher's attention is as easy as self-publishing on Kindle but, for daring writers not selling mainstream prose, has rarely been harder, editor Shya Scanlon's brainchild is brilliant. Dylan Thomas allegedly once opined, "I always think typescript lends some sort of certainty: at least, if the things are bad then, they appear bad with conviction." What better way, then, to convince an agent or a publisher that a work deserves to be in print than to put it in print to begin with? And to include not stand-alone excerpts but to intentionally leave readers hanging, hopefully desperate for more, as should be the goal of every writer, is an editorial decision so bold yet so necessary we should all be kicking ourselves that we didn't come up with it first. But Scanlon's mind is on more than just cool publishing ideas. Setting aside my own entry here (yes, I'm in this, but I'm speaking about the other writers here), in this collection, Scanlon has pulled together a fantastic array of voices and literary styles, from brooding historical novels to sharp modern fables to daring experimental storytelling, the pieces in this book offer a glimpse at a future of fiction. Not THE future, because the variety of styles and voices here defies any one direction and because there's no guarantee any of these books will find publication. But they definitely deserve an audience, and if anyone out there is bold enough to follow Scanlon's vision and pursue the fiction in this "pitch" issue of Sententia, I feel our literary future will be rich and fascinating indeed. I, for one, can't wait to add all these books to my "to read" shelf here in Goodreads.

One of the better books I've read in the last couple of years. Very moving, raw, and intense. I learned about the political upheaval in Afghanistan and the Afghani culture. It was interesting to follow the character from a war-torn country to life in the Bay Area.

It's hard to put anything about this one into words. "Novel" is more or less a misnomer; this is a discursive, stream-of-consciousness narrative, obviously pretty autobiographical, running over a wide variety of Smith's/Pompey Casimilus's experiences in England and Germany in the 30s. Interesting, half shocking, contemporary thoughts on anti-semitism, forming and unforming relationships, work, etc. She makes judgments throughout on her readers, telling straightforward plot-driven people to put the book down but the undecideds to keep going--I returned it to the library already or I'd go get the quote. It's worth reading.

a simple way of re-framing faith. i think the end notes are my favorite part of this book, 60 pages of references to classical literature, original texts and other theologians.
