Big juicy story set in a small Maine town suffering through an economic decline and filled with characters who are so broken you know disaster lurks somewhere in the plot. Flashbacks help build the complex ties that pull these people towards each other as much as they try to pull away. Miles and his teenage daughter are the two who stand squarely on the good guys side, but many of these people will be hard to forget.

Long winded but great Story

I liked this book a lot. It was one of those books where the story started right away, without a whole lot of background information or setting things up. Because of that, I felt a little lost at first, but once I got a few pages in, I was hooked. I cared about the characters, and I'll be reading the rest of the series to find out what happens.

This book opened my eyes to the reality the persecution of Christians in China. I enjoyed the plot of this very interesting story - American Harvard student teaches Chinese Harvard student about Christ. Twenty some years later, the same Chinese man reminds American man of his Christianity.

This biography is now over forty years old, but Haslip's writing, and the common sense approach which she takes towards her subject means that it is still as readable now as it was when it was first printed. Haslip is extremely good at taking an insightful and sympathetic, yet objective and critical, approach towards her subject, Elizabeth of Austria, the woman better known to history as Princess Sisi. Elizabeth was a complicated mixture of charm and frigidity, intelligence and neurosis, self-conscious beauty and shyness, and I think Haslip does a very good job at capturing those. I would agree with her assessment of Elizabeth's character to a large degree. The book has its faults, though they are minor. I would have liked a greater deal of analysis of her legacy and of the immediate impact of her death; to end the book with her murder makes it seem curiously truncated, especially considering how great a mythos had grown up around Elizabeth even by the time Haslip was writing. It is also curious that she didn't use make more use of those who could remember Elizabeth and her family, and who were still alive at the time of her writing; I think the last of Elizabeth's children had died maybe only twenty to thirty years before; still, it's probable in that case that they had simply closed ranks. The book could also have used a stronger technical editor; there was one instance where Elizabeth returned to Austria 'for Xmas', which I cannot see as being appropriate for a biographical work, and the number of comma splices was truly astronomical. Despite that, though, this is still probably one of the best books dealing with the life of the empress.

This book was a good read, and I'm not quite sure why I've given it only 3 stars, but I think it's because I couldn't really get to know the chief protagonist. Also, the blurb says there are two of them as key characters, but we had very little of one of them. Maybe in previous novels in this series there was more of both. I also found the ending a little pat. Having said that, I was keen all through to have the mystery solved, and I enjoyed reading it. It's a murder mystery with a missing murderer, or was it someone else who murdered both and just disposed of one of the bodies differently ...?

Some of the best books ever, are the ones that friends give me. Of course, it helps to have smart friends! My brother bought an Excelsior-Henderson motorcycle. He loves it. Convincing my other brother to buy all three of us Dan Hanlon's book. It is first of all, a great recap of the seven plus years of E-H's struggle from the man at the helm. But is really is a great business "how to" or perhaps "how not to" launch a capital intensive manufacturing business. The tales of fund raising are not for the faint of heart. Serious about a startup business? Read this book first. It is so fast paced, that I was able to read the whole 401 pages in just two sessions. Some great photos included, as well as some corporate documents like the list of E-H dealers. Even if you are not going for a capital intensive venture, it will still help. The passages on corporate culture were great. And the interaction with Wall Street was fun reading. Oh yea, everyone that knows anything about E-H has second guessed Hanlon. He convinced me that every single criticism was for the most part, untrue. One example is the building. It just "looks" expensive. The true costs were amazingly low. If you are serious about business and enjoy motorcycles [riding or watching them ride down the street:], this is a must have. One of my top twenty picks.
It was cute. Not too in depth.
Most of the literary reviews are spot-on: the book reads as a narrative with a frequent punch similar to Tom Wolfe. The author includes some interesting explanations at the end regarding his "shaping" of events and how they affect the journalistic integrity. I enjoyed the conclusion as well as the avoidance of liberal tendencies to blame only Republicans.
