Really good idea ruined by girly melodrama. Plus where's the hoverboards?
Fun book; follows the passing of a painting from one person to the next in reverse chronological order.

Best book I've ever read. Each and every character is heart-wrenchingly realistic and relatable.

Intense, involved, incredible. Amazing that it's a true story. I recommend watching the movie first - Phillip Seymour Hoffman was phenomenal.
My first review got entirely lost into the web ether so I'll just summarise this one: * a lengthy book but quite quick to read * enjoyable! * good background research (I did spot a few mistakes, but mainly in the Norwegian bits) * Norwegians! (I didn't know in advance!) * the plot draws you in and the nature descriptions are spot-on (amazing for an agoraphobic!) * a good murder mystery Warmly recommended! 18 November 2009 I just re-read this novel as I chose it for our book club for this month. Unfortunately I couldn't actually be there for the book club meeting, but I still wanted to read the novel. I liked it just as much the second time I read it, and as I had forgotten a lot, I found it just as exciting!

James F. Simon starts his work with a chapter each on Taney and Lincoln to provide a bit of their history. Points brought out in his discussion of the slavery issue raise questions in one's mind of who really started the Civil War. While it is said that when meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe Lincoln said something like "the little lady who started the war", I would suggest Steven Douglas gave it a greater impetus by his actions to get elected to the Illinois Senate. Though Taney is infamous for the Dred Scott decision he had freed his slaves before the Civil War He was essentially a states rights advocate and strict constructionist most of the time. Lincoln was a politician who did his homework and was able to ask questions of Douglas circa 1858 that required him to take a stand that perhaps kept Douglas from being elected President in 1860. Taney was against many of the actions Lincoln took during the Civil War in response to 'seditious' activity in the border states. Lincoln had suspended Habeas Corpus and expanded Presidential War Powers Taney took actions, e.g. not scheduling circuit court cases so that his 'acquaintances' would not be tried for treason and wrote opinions in the hopes that cases would arise regarding those powers. Simon notes Lincoln did not appear to be extreme in his war time actions compared to other presidents. He didn't "encourage the systematic prosecution of his political critics, as did Adams in 1798;" nor did he put large segments of the population in concentration camps as did Roosevelt to Japanese Americans in WW II; nor did he "attempt to escape judicial scrutiny in the name of National Security, as the Bush Administration has repeatedly done in prosecuting the War on Terrorism...." I found the book a very interesting read during the month of Lincoln's birth.
Good plot, but very slow. I finished it just because.
