A good beach read, but not a book of any depth.
I loved this book. All of it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes reading good literary ficiton (and is open to things like time travel obviously).
I read this book out of sheer boredom. I'm an aide in my high school's library, and I just happened to see it on the shelf one day. I picked it up, read a few pages, and really got into the story. It's a quick read, but it was interesting.

well not my usual reading but intriguing. The book covers the classical composers of the 20th century and attempts to explain what influences their work. I was most interested in the cultural and geopolitical influences on art...especially WWII impacts. Also was fun to just think about "composing as a career" and what that world must be like. Alex Ross is a great writer.

An altogether satisfying classic novel. Sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, left with little income following the death of their father, go to live with some distant relations and meet men they wish to engage. However, there are complications, as both seem to be quite unsuitable. I was continually struck by the eloquence with which this book is written and the gracious manner in which the primary characters endeavored to conduct themselves. Did people really speak to each other that way in that era? How interesting that even one described as ‘illiterate’ can issue such a statement as "I am sure you think me very strange, for enquiring about her in such a way, but perhaps there may be reasons--I wish I might venture; but however I hope you will do me the justice of believing that I do not mean to be impertinent." The articulacy of the text was almost confusing at first because the poor standards by which most modern authors express themselves is what I am used to reading and speaking. However, that difficulty was soon overcome, and I found _myself_ both speaking and writing with greater vocabulary and altered cadence. I was also surprised that I could find a tale consisting mostly of the conversations between the idle members of British society so suspenseful. I found myself invested in the characters and their eventual happiness so much that I was quite eager to turn the page. Highly recommended. Compared to this, the romantic tales of the 21st century are vulgar and coarse.

A mysterious personage wishes to rid his/her family home of *gasp* boarders so he/she devises a plan to have the young people married off and out of the house. The first in this series involves Finch More, who, along with her brother, runs an antiquities business. Viscount Ross Kilrood is the next door neighbor who has retained the services of More & More to secure some packages that, when united, comprise an artifact very valuable to a small foreign municipality. Both the interference of this mysterious personage and the villains who wish to secure the artifact for their own purposes complicate this matter. Although this plot seems quite straightforward, the various personages involved do not always act with cohesive motivations. It seems the characters change their behavior in order to advance the plot, and not in a way that one would expect from the established qualities of their personalities. Also, the final climactic scene was confusing, as motives and connections were revealed that I felt had not been at all hinted at. For instance one individual who had acted quite villainously was revealed to have been a good guy all along, which didn’t really play for me. However, the intrigue did wrap up at least satisfactorily with few ends still loose. In addition, Stella Cameron writes some of the best sex scenes I’ve ever read. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tended to skip those parts, but I read straight through every one of hers. To address the aforementioned ‘mysterious personage:’ Cameron has employed the device of revealing this person’s thoughts to the reader through a series of italicized chapters written almost in the style of a letter. This was confusing as I thought this person was employing other people, possibly another character in the story, to assist him/her in his/her goal. However, I currently believe the missives are directed at us, the readers, although I am still not sure. Also, Cameron includes some ‘historical’ information at the end designed, I believe, to induce us to regard this series of tales as ‘true.’ I am looking forward to reading the rest of this series, especially as the identity of this mysterious personage, as that was not revealed in this first volume.
This is book is hilarious, and yet touching at the the same time. I heart Augusten Burroughs. I vow to read all of his books.
Library book. Adult mystery. Not worth remembering. It was okay. I don't remember it at all.
