I read this story at my sister's prompting when we were kids, but I didn't really get it. Then, I had to review the play last year, and enjoyed it much more. The sweet little invalid (Colin?) and the rustic Yorkshire Tarzan (Dickon) were my favorites.

This book is incredible! That's all I can say about it. The plot, the characters, the setting, the mood, and the romance. Of course, can't forget about the haunted feel that history repeats itself. Anyways after reading this book, I feel like I want to fly to Morocco this instance.

This is Paul Kemp's first SWEU book and not quite as good as Star Wars: Deceived, which is one of my favorite space opera reads ever and a book that could be just as good set outside the EU as well. Not to be missed. Crosscurrent on the other hand, shows growing pains, which makes since since it's Kemp's first foray here. But he's more than up to the challenge. To me, the book didn't take off until the introduction of Khedryn Farr and his co-pilot Marr. They are dynamic and well developed with good banter, the kind of characters at which Kemp excels. Instead, the darkness of early chapters combined with the generic feel of Jaden, Relin, Kell and Saes makes the book a bit hard to get into. But after Chapter 5, it takes off with Khedryn and Marr adding much needed energy and lightness and helping bring out the best in the other characters they encounter. The plot is solid--a 5000 year old Sith ship winds up through a jump failure caused by a sabotaged drive, transported into the future and encounters Jaden and the two pilots who are investigating a distress call on a moon containing an abandoned, top secret Imperial compound/lab. Kell, on a quest to kill Jaden, follows them there and while Resin, who came forward in time with the Sith dreadnaught commanded by Saes, seeks to revenge the death of his latest Padawan by his former Padawan turned Sith, Saes, Jaden and Khedryn head off to investigate the emergency. This leads to divergent battles, some of which are satisfying, but not all. The battles with Jaden v. Kell and Relin v. Saes were too short, with the bad guys easily dispatched. After all the great anticipatory tension Kemp created getting there, I found that a disappointment. And it's not due to lack of skill. Besides Deceived, which does the stuff so well I used it to inspire me in writing such scenes for my own space opera novel series, the precursor encounters of Khedryn v. Kell and Marr/Relin v. Sae's bodyguards are well written but they are obstacles and precusors to the climactic confrontations which never quite fulfill the set up. Still, Kemp is a strong writer. And I look forward to seeing how Jaden, Khedryn and Marr handle the sequel Riptide now that their relationships are well established and fun. It should be interesting and given that it came out the same year as Deceived is likely a more masterful effort and demonstration of Kemp's talent. This duology is also of interest for its exploration of the later years of the EU and a period not well covered as well as bringing Jaden Korr from the Jedi Academy into EU books and history and developing him further. Worthwhile, especially for fans.
Very dense, very good stuff. Quite a lot of information. The first time through, I put it down around WWII. I think I misunderstood Zinn's premise; he's not saying that everything in the history books is wrong, he's just pointing out the histories of the poor, the minorities, the pacifists, etc. The first chapter should be required reading for everyone (middle school, high school, college, etc.) learning about the settling of America. Columbus was a genocidal maniac.
I know this book is not what you would call "great literature" (Uris ain't the best wordsmith), but I loved it because the hero was such an archetypal hero and the story was epic and just by reading the book I learned a ton about Irish history (damn those English bastards!!)
The book assumes that having a lot of money is more important than being a productive member of society. The poor dad didn't have a lot of money, but he accomplished more in my view. The rich dad gave more to charity, but nothing says he gave more than would have gone to the charities if someone else owned his real estate. Studies actually show that people with a lot of money give relatively less back to their community than people in the middle class. So I guess I just had philosophical issues with it--and the only practical lesson I remember is the buy low-sell high pyramid he drew. Kind of a no-brainer.

Definitely impressed my young mind when first I read it. Rand has an agenda that she implements (particularly in "the speech" near the end), but the storyline elements are still engaging and demonstrate an intriguing balance between philosophizing and storytelling. I would like to reread it now and see how much I agree with...

This is Chandler's "Hollywood" book. I always like these books, but they all sort of pale in comparison to The Long Goodbye and The Big Sleep, which are his best two. I think I have read all of his Marlowe novels but two..
