You should read this book only if you seek COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE. Beware: it is a double-edged sword, as I am now constantly on the run from HOBOES and FURRY LOBSTERS, infuriated that I know their secrets. Not recommended for FOREIGNERS or the FEEBLE MINDED.

Similar to The Circle Series, Forbidden is a story of redemption wrapped in astonishing symbolism. The concept of what life would be like if ruled only by fear hits closer to reality than we realize. Such a powerful story...I can't wait to see how the story continues. Lee and Dekker are two of my favorite authors so putting them together is the ultimate combination of amazing storytelling.

As we're dealing with this one in our book club, I will forego a review.

Started out great but in the end it was very disappointing. It was just too simplistic and it made leaps of logic that in the end were not supported by any data. Wish the author had spent some more time and didn't try and dumb things down.

Not as funny as you would think. Probably great as an audio book if Mo narrated, though.

** spoiler alert ** I love the Harry Potter books and this one was no different. I loved the story and how the characters developed. It was great to see Harry evolve and learn more about Dumbledore and Voldemort through his private lessons. Plus, we were able to see the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes joke shop finally become a reality.

I enjoyed The Devil You Know after picking it up on a lark based only on the fact that I have read and liked a lot of Carey's comic works. So, when I saw a sequel was coming out, I made sure to make a special trip to pick it up. I read it straight through without stopping and...it was very good! I guess I shouldn't be shocked, but the story was well written, the main character was likable and interesting, and even the side characters were well thought out and represented. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes writers in the vein of Jim Butcher and Charlie Huston.

Another great Maisie Dobbs novel! Jacqueline Winspear develops her characters with so much detail you feel like you are living in their world as you are reading. This particular book indeed deals with love and death, as the title suggests, and thus is a bittersweet mystery of a family's search for their son's murderer during the first WW. I love a heroine who is in a profession that is pretty much unheard of for females during that time and how she rises above all others' expectations.
I received this book from a coworker as a gift nearly three years ago. Respecting both her and her taste, I was ready for a literary gem. Well, unsurprisingly, I intended to read it right away and then three years went by before it popped into my head for some reason or another (most likely because of the rather delightful cover which is rather memorable in my mind), and I started reading it without glancing at the back cover for a reminder as to its topic. My opinion holds firm -- this was quite a delightful book. Turn, Magic Wheel is one of Dawn Powell's New York novels and she personally considered this her best work. The plot is this: Dennis Orphen has written a novel about a woman, left by her famous author husband -- cannibalizing the life of his friend, Effie Callingham, to do so. Effie is the first wife of Andy Callingham, who has since become a rising star in the literary world, and he left her several years before the start of our story. Despite that, Effie still lives in a world where she is still addressed as "Mrs. Callingham," though no one is deceived, except for Effie. Dennis takes few pains to conceal that his novel is about Effie and Andy Callingham, and our story almost immediately opens with Effie discovering his advance copy of the book, realizing that now the reality of her abandonment will be made public knowledge. This betrayal is one of many in the novel, and arguably, it isn't even the worst thing that one person does to another. A poignant and lovely novel, Turn, Magic Wheel is also a delightfully witty and wicked look at the New York literary scene. The title of the book comes from Theocritus: "Turn, magic wheel / Bring homeward him I love" which vaguely outlines a bit of what is to be expected in this book. The action hinges on the fact that we spend a great deal of time talking about Andy Callingham, the famous writer (and modeled on Hemingway), but we're all waiting for him to appear, for only with his arrival can we sort anything out. Powell has created wonderful characters, painfully and beautifully real. One frequently wishes to slap some sense into Dennis; he can be so curious about the lives of others, still be completely wrapped up in his own, and find himself totally flummoxed when the reality of someone else's life actually dawns on him. Somehow, this novel is both a biting satire and yet still an unconventional... I hesitate to use the phrase "love story," but there are elements of that, too. Certainly, for anyone who loves New York and literature, I think they'll enjoy this novel. Dawn Powell writes about New York as if it's more than just a setting... it's another character, living and breathing around the others, with a life and hum and energy. I'm certainly looking forward to discovering more of Dawn Powell's work, and I'm quite in the debt of my former co-worker for exposing me to her writing. Also, I might also direct you to a New York Times review of this book, published in 1936: http://www.nyt.net/books/98/11/15/spe... I don't know why this delights me so... perhaps it's simply the idea of the NY Times actually bothering to put its book reviews from the 30s online, but it makes me quite happy.
