It gets 4 stars for creepiness and originality. Parts were a bit long-winded and unnecessary (and almost detracted from the creepiness), but other than that, a good read.

The second book in the 'Lords of the Var' series, has Prince Quinn, the Ambassador, meeting Dr. Vittoria Elliott (Tori), part of a scientific team sent by the HIA to be sure that the planet has been truly purged of all biological weapons. Quinn is a Var - shapeshifters who are part human, part feline. The scientists are human, Tori, her brother Vitto, and two other men. What they found was a deadly fungus that has been eating under the planet's crust for years and threatens to kill off the planet's life in a short time. It was created as a deadly weapon to kill off the Draig by the now-dead King Attor and his minions, but it threatens the Var as well if it isn't killed off. Lots of drama, sex, jealousy, angst about love and commitment, and the meaning of family can be found in this story. I like this series very much, and this book is just as good as Book 1, 'The Savage King'. While it may not be a necessity to read this series in order, it's better that way so that the reader will know who all the characters are, and what the backstory is.

The Author gripped me with the opening pages. Not fake in the lives portrayed but people that I could ache with and rejoice with. I did feel a bit like I was a ping-pong ball inside this woman's head - thoughts flittering here and there rapidly. But then that's how my husband often tells me I speak, jumping from thought to unconnected thought. Thus I felt right at home in this woman's over active brain, bouncing around less as she found security and peace. WELL TOLD! Can't wait for Jamie to deliver another terrific read.

Dona finds that the pirate, Jean-Benoit Aubéry is a fascinating and interesting man full of passion not only for life! This is a bitter sweet romance that is sure to bring yearning into your life. The movie is well worth renting.
"Shagged at Last (The Sequel)" Written while she was still alive, but published posthumously after her death in 1982, "Shagged At Last" is the posthumous sequel to Ayn Rand's greatest achievement and last work of fiction, "Atlas Shrugged" (not counting "Shagged At Last"). In this novel, she dramatizes the shortcomings of her unique Objectivist philosophy through an intellectual mystery story and magical mystery tour that intertwines sex, ethics, sex, metaphysics, sex, epistemology, sex, politics, sex, economics, sex, whatever and sex. Reconsidering her worldview, she concludes that, in order to be truly beneficial to society individuals, sex must not be just the fun bit between the serious parts, it requires serious love action between the private parts. In this sequel (which is the equal of the prequel to the sequel), Ayn Rand abandons Objectivism and embraces Sex Activism, without endorsing either Active Sexism or Subjectivism. Likewise, she urges us to abandon the Protestant Work Ethic and embrace the Catholic Sex Ethic. Her motto: No Safety Net, No Protection. Where Have All the Objectivists Gone? Set in the near-future [30 years after the time of writing in 1982] in a U.S.A. whose economy has collapsed as a result of the mysterious disappearance of leading innovators, industrialists, bankers, auditors, entrepreneurs, Republicans, bond-holders, futurists, financial advisers, chartered accountants and middle management after the re-election of a Democratic President, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life: ...from the playboy genius who becomes a worthless and unproductive executive in charge of a global television network... ...to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction as well as that of all those around him in rural China... ...to the intellectual property pirate and paedophile who becomes a neo-conservative philosopher and born-again, forgive-again tele-evangelist... ...to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad into the ground and under the river via the world's longest, most expensive architecturally-designed and least utilised tunnel... ...to the lowest paid track worker in her train tunnels who can't afford to come to work by private or public transport, and must walk 20 miles and swim across the river for the privilege of a fair day's work and an unfair day's pay so that his wife can be treated for inoperable cancer and herpes, and each of their children can afford an iPad and unlimited cable access so they can watch the film of the book online on the website of a global television network managed by a worthless and unproductive executive... ...all because they have fallen victim to the political philosophy of Objectivism and have not discovered the pleasures of unprotected tantric sex. Spoiler If you want to know who the female protagonist has deep and meaningless sex with, read the book or open the following spoiler at your own peril (to avoid disappointment, don't view the spoiler. Now.): (view spoiler) Get Your Copy Free or Pay for It and Get a 200% Tax Deduction Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with larger than life accoutrements, struggling with towering questions of good and evil, and an adolescent's curiosity and enthusiasm for sex, "Shagged At Last" is a philosophical revolution told in the form of a soft-focus, hard-core action thriller with conveniently positioned tax-deductible PowerPoint slides explaining Objectivism from an historical point of view and revealing the correct use of all body parts from an hysterical point of view. Disclaimer: The televisualisation of the hysterical perspective is currently subject to the formalisation of contractual relations with Manny and Jessica Rabbit. Ayn Rand Plays Lady Macbeth You won't find in me The milk of human kindness, Just dire cruelty. Only Her Self to Blame Rand's philosophy Fucked a whole generation With its selfishness. Turn Me On and Turn Me Off Your fans are turned on By Sex Objectivism But it turns me off.
very odd narrative but interesting idea. somehow there were more loose ends and questions by the end of the novel. Maybe it was supposed to be thought provoking.
4.5 stars. Listen: you will not love the first 400 pages. You'll probably like them fine (except there's a little too much preoccupation with sex due to the adolescent boyhood in the middle) but then you'll hit the last third and you will be in love and SO glad you kept going. The writing is masterful, the morals it teaches are beautiful, but the characters are the very best part of this book. I was SO grateful I got to discuss it at book club with the other 6 women who also loved it.
The tulip chapter is kind of dull, but the other three are great. The marijuana chapter is particularly thought-provoking... I love his analysis of the role of cannabinoid receptors in the brain.

Started this one after having read and enjoyed "Started Early, Took my Dog" but didn't get very far with it. This was so different in style and theme and did not hold my interest.
