I actually really enjoyed this book. I thought is was much "lighter" and less dark than Enna Burning. Also I liked Rozo--Razo as the narrator.

This book was no where near as good as the first two. The plot was alright but the characters just didn't have the appeal of the others. I didn't believe the urgency or the connection and despite Sabrine's claims I never believed she was a warrior who was good at keeping secrets. I will read the next in the series if there is one because I truly adored the first two books but I hope she goes back to human/shifter combos without the true mate business because I think if they hadn't had that shortcut and had to actually grow to like each other it would've been a better story for it.

Since I never got into this book, I'm moving it from currently reading to the 'to read' shelf.

OK, let me think here. It's been a couple of weeks since I finished this. Yes, I liked it. It wasn't a complete throw away. Alot was typical GRisham, but I think I was not disappointed in the ending.

Excellent book. Learned a lot not only about Jefferson himself but also the American Revolution and the period thereafter up until his death. Sadly, it seems that we've learned little and progressed hardly at all with respect to government and politics. We seem to be engaging in the same essential arguments today as did the parties of Jefferson and Adams in the post revolutionary era. The only issue I had was the author's dismissal of a sexual relationship between Jefferson and Sally Hemmings. Of course I have the perspective of a African-American and the benefit of Dr. Eugene Foster's genetic study which was published in a 1998 issue of Nature about a year after this book was published and likely longer after Ellis finished his research. Ellis did an admirable job tackling Jefferson's hypocrisy with regard to slavery. He shows this as yet another facet of Jefferson's mental makeup, his ability to shield himself from the gritty reality of situations. Of course, there is no doubt Jefferson was a brilliant man. However, he did have the sad tendency to delude himself about some things, as well as a propensity to focus only on the ideal at the expense of the practical or pragmatic. This book is well worth the read.

On one hand it brought to my attention a number of intriguing texts I'd never even heard of and will be seeking out in the future, on the other hand it severely undercuts itself in its (admittedly well-intentioned) desire to spark the interest of a readership that isn't particularly literature-savvy. The loss, more often than not, is in depth--most entries are comprised of several paragraphs of biographical details regarding the author, a synopsis (usually more detailed than I prefer), some brief rationalization for its inclusion before throwing out some closing, rather week platitudes. A lot of the inevitable titles are accounted for (Dorian Gray, Maurice, In Search of Lost Time, Our Lady of the Flowers, Giovanni's Room), a lot of more obscure selections, some really unexpected entries (The Vampire Lestat, The Gospel of John) as well as a few choices where it's rather amusing to observe Drake do intellectual gymnastics to justify the inclusion (The Odyssey, The Glass Menagerie). To his credit, Drake is very up-front about his desire that this compilation should be a springboard for personal explorations, as well as thought and discussion about what was included and what was left out, and, by extension, the very nature of canonicity. And on that level, it's valuable. I just can't help but feel that there was a lot of potential that it never quite lives up to... "Frankly, I stand in firm agreement with [Harold Bloom:] that the Western Canon should not be tempered with for reasons of minority bias. The Gay Canon seeks to exist outside the Western Canon, touching upon it only where writers and works are in agreement. Yet The Gay Canon strives toward a goal similar to Bloom's: to isolate the qualities that made these gay authors canonical--that is, authoritative--in gay culture."
Hmmm. I'm not sure what to say about this book/graphic novel. On the one hand, it's not at all what I expected. I thought this was going to be an action-packed typical comic-style book. What I found was a somewhat morbid statement about humanity. Moore actually says this perfectly in the blurb at the end of chapter 5 about the "Tales of the Black Freighter" comic book that is quoted throughout the book: "Readers who came to the series expecting a good rousing tale of swashbuckling were either repulsed or fascinated by what were often perverse and blackly lingering comments upon the human condition." What I can't decide is whether I am repulsed or fascinated. I was disappointed that it wasn't a lighthearted comic book because that's what I was in the mood to read, but I can't judge the book according to my mood. In making a "comment upon the human condition," I think this book definitely makes its point. I guess only time will tell how I really feel about this book. Will my thoughts keep returning to it and its message, or will it fade from my memory as something I just happened to read once?
Awesome! Try listening to the audio if you are struggling with the swedish names. the audio is terrific.

My friend Darcy made me borrow it. Another in the "memoir that even thinking about it makes me a bit queasy" category.
Rollicking good fun! I laughed my way all from cover to cover! Got to love a gal like Becky Sharp!
