Had to read it for class. I liked it. That is all.

Ah yes, tey another book that most of us had to read in, what? Middle school? Still, I reread it recently and still enjoyed it. It's a rather powerful personal statement of one young girl's experiences during the War, and like Miss Pinkgal commented, it would be very interesting to read alongside 'Year of Impossible Goodbyes,' which I'll have to pick up soon.

If Melville's plodding, mind-numbing prose didn't get in the way of the story he was trying to tell, he might actually have something here. I've heard that some people have died trying to read Moby Dick and this book makes me understand why. Blah. Took the wind right out of my sails.
I loved this book. Such a pleasure to read after the disappointing Iain Banks that preceded it. What a writer! I found this utterly compelling, not because of plot or suspense, but because the characters seemed so real. I read it over the course of a week, and often found myself thinking about the characters when I wasn't reading it. It's written backwards, starting in 1947, then jumping back to 1944; then 1941. This could seem as much a gimmick as Banks's jumping around in time in [The Steep Approach to Garbadale:], but here it works. When you meet the characters in the first section, you want to know more about what makes them the way they are, and just as in real life encounters, you gradually discover what happened to them in the past. The writing is brilliant -- I really can't understand the reviewers on Amazon who say this book is dull, plotless, and badly written. Waters captures the clipped yet vivid style of pre-war writers like Rosamond Lehmann, or Mass Observation diaries like the wonderful [Nella Last's War:]. She has clearly done her research on wartime London, without it being overbearing or clunky; it just seems like her characters' real lives taking place in front of her eyes. Some scenes are flinchingly vivid: notably one character's self-mutilation, and a ghastly account of the aftermath of a back-street abortion. If I have any criticism, it is that the ending falls a little bit flat because we already know "what happened" (the middle section of the book is where most development takes place). And it's a pity that the only heterosexual relationship is so sordid and unsatisfactory (she even rams the point home with the entertaining account of how Viv and Reggie met!). And I liked Viv so much I hated the fact that she was still wasting her time with Reg in 1947 -- she deserved better! Finally, although Kay could be seen as the "main"character, linking all the others, I felt she was a bit shadowy; I never really felt I understood her.[return:][return:]These are all minor criticisms though; overall, despite the depressing nature of a lot of it, this is a life-enhancing novel.

OOH I liked this one. A little sad, but I thought the idea was smart and it was well written, I lent it out to a friend (which means I really liked it, I don't lend out unless it made an impression)
Pretty basic but complete book on everything involving personal finance. Chapters include banking, insurance, investing, taxes, and retirement.
Erotica. An adventurous twin decides to have herself kidnapped for Christmas, with the kidnapping including BDSM up to, but not including, actual intercourse. The less wild and more curvy sister gets 'napped instead, which is fine with the hero/kidnapper who actually looked at a picture of wild twin and wished she was a little fuller figured. 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple contrivances that could not be ignored. The kidnapping agency made a point of the "victim" having a safe word, and yet our heroine was gagged for quite a while while all sorts of, um, stuff was done to her person. Of course, when she's ungagged she no longer wants to set the record straight. Still, what's the point of a safe word if someone cannot use it? There was also a standard misunderstanding over something she said, but it almost worked, so I'm letting it slide. :) This was a nice fantasy, really, and what woman doesn't dig a hero who wants the curvier sister?
if you haven't read any of the sherlock holmes stories, then take my word, don't read this. it will make no sense and it will be boring. if you are a fan, by all means, dive in.

I like the first 80% but the ending kinda ruined it for me.
