Pretty typical Agatha Christie. Enjoyable to read, and I was surprised by the ending, as always.

Nata, Niki Sepasang sahabat yang tiba-tiba merasa saling benci, saling butuh dan saling cinta. Kehadiran Analise dan Oliver menciptakan aroma kecemburuan di antaranya. Sebenernya alur ceritanya sangat klise, seperti novel-novel roman kebanyakan, sepasang sahabat yang saling mencintai dengan berbagai konflik di dalamnya, dan setelahnya teereeeenggg heppi ending, tamat. Namun yang menarik adalah Winna Effendi, penulis novel ini menyampaikan dengan bahasa yang bikin terus dan terus membaca sampai habis kalo perlu sampai nggak tidur semaleman demi menuntaskan mbaca, ck…ck… salut buat mbak Winna. Satu lagi yang membuat novel ini tampak beda yaitu, pengemasannya yang tidak biasa, simple dengan hanya menempelkan amplop berwarna biru dan sekaligus menjadi covernya. "It's always been you" adalah pesan di dalam amplop itu. So sweet...
As disappointing as Maxine Swann can be, and as annoying as I already find the tag line for this story, I simply know too much about Buenis Aires to field off a new novel about it! I truly doubt she'll get to say anytthing new or fascinatingly insightful (her many essays on the topic appear quite bland, an outrageous word in the context of mad as a hatter Argentina!) but I'll still read it. And hope.

It took me quite a while to come to terms with this book. While it was quite readable and I liked the author (which is not necessarily required, but very helpful in a memoir), something just did not click with me. At first I figured it must be because she was so young, and usually young people have no place writing a memoir. But Ms. Kennedy was actually living a pretty interesting life in a country I am quite curious about. Kennedy was a freelance reporter living as a single (western) woman in India. I eventually figured it out, the story has no narrative. While the author moves to India and slowly adjusts to the culture and customs, and makes friends with several locals before eventually returning home, there is no sense of accomplishment. Typically a story will have a purpose, and a memoir especially will demonstrate some climax that makes the telling of a life story a worthwhile trip. It would be like How I Met Your Mother ending the series without ever showing us Ted meeting his wife. An enjoyable show to be sure, but we would feel let down with the experience. That said the book was filled with interesting side trips and tidbits that made the read interesting. My favorite thought was the statement on arranged marriages. They are like starting with a pan of cold water on a low heat; it will eventually build to a passionate boil over time. Westerners insist on the rolling boil before you marry someone and that has nowhere to go except to cool off. Given the divorce statistics of a typical western marriage as compared to an arranged marriage I must agree they have a good point. I also learned just how impossible it is for a single woman to get her own apartment in India with it generally accepted that any female wanting to do that must be a whore. This is not just one or two bad, old fashioned landlords; it is pretty much universal. The author had to lie that she had a husband and he would be joining her later. Another cultural belief is that cats are generally considered evil and as such are avoided whenever possible. I asked a few of my Indian coworkers to confirm that which they did. Finally I found the back and forth on the caste system fascinating. I was reminded in part of how we Americans are always trying to separate ourselves from each other with the belief one is superior to the other. Like the way southerners are stereotyped – just think about the last time you heard a southern accent – what did you immediately think about the person? It seems in India they have a whole cultural segregation that is understood and passively enforced by everyone. Interestingly a person’s financial status is not enough to bridge the gap between classes. Her maid was of a higher class and thus she had an attitude that defied her job status. You should definitely read this book if you have an interest in India as the side stories a worth it. But if you are looking for some sort of life lesson or accomplishment by the author then this book misses the mark. On balance I would say this book is worth reading, but do not move it to the top of the to read pile.
A family history told through several generations of women. Riveting descriptions of Hawaiian history. Sometimes tedious, far too poetic, descriptions of love and sex. Overall, hard to put down.

This is Britain's and Canada's top WW1 Ace's account of his early days in the Royal Flying Corps. He wrote this in 1917 when he was home in Canada on leave and to get married, so he hadn't yet achieved his full glory, although as a VC, he was already a hero. The delights of flying, and the enthusiasm and audacity of aerial combat are contrasted with the stress and sometimes disgust of warfare.
Love anything with Jodi's name on it...but not my favorite of hers. Probably because the heroine lets things happen to her..the two heros are much stronger characters.

Not bad, but not spectacular either. I did enjoy reading about an alternate Austin, Texas with a Shiftertown, but I just didn't feel the chemistry between the hero and heroine (maybe hero not acting alpha enough for me?) or that "wow, what happens next?" feeling a really good book invokes. Also, I'm confused a bit by the end. Why let the captives die naturally? Why hide them and wait for them to die? Why not kill them while they were down?
