I love the idea, as a Southern girl, of this book. I think place is a really big part in this, and that is marvelously set up and dealt with. The setting becomes something that is inherent in the story instead of just a backdrop, and that was a really lovely addition. I feel like the (spoiler) sexual things that happened to the main character were alluded to too heavily and not addressed quickly enough. I wasn't surprised when it was all finally told to me. I was sort of annoyed and let down that that was all it was. I find that unfortunate, because it had so much potential and obviously had a big impact on the main character. I did enjoy the bit of a twist in the ending (though I wasn't completely surprised there either). I did particularly enjoy the way that it ended. There was a bit of hope when we desperately needed it. All in all, a good read, but not one that I'm likely to re-read several times.

A nice little diversionary romance/mystery type read involving a catch in eccentric millionaire grandaddy's will. to inherit the antique jewelry business granddaughter must share the wealth with a taciturn and oddly attractive young man. Dark secrets, rumors, what is the truth??? Like I said, it was a good diversion in a Dark Shadows kind of way.

Little known by other than connoisseurs of the strange and mysterious, this odyssey of the questing human spirit is well worth the patience it takes to cope with the opening chapters, which lumber considerably as the author prepares us for the meat of the story. But once our characters reach Tormance - a planet circling the star Arcturus - the adventure begins in earnest, in a world where the spiritual takes physical form, and our hero Maskull battles a zoo of tempters and diverse philosophies as he strives reach the Blue Sun, and free his soul from the dreariness of everyday life. The early chapters remind me of a device sometimes used by H.G. Wells and Joseph Conrad, of assembling a group of interesting or intelligent people in a Victorian soiree, and, having made them comfortable with a cheering drink, confounding even their sophistication with an amazing yarn. Try The Time Machine, Victory, or Lord Jim; but in those the technique is used throughout, and is not at odds with story. Here though, it clashes, and Lindsay risks loosing his reader before truly commencing his story. Why did he do this? To place the normality of early Edwardian England at odds with eerie Tormance perhaps, and so emphasise the illusion of everyday life? If so, it's a risky strategy, which must have put off many a reader. Lindsay's purpose appears to be not merely to entertain, which he does well, but to illustrate a Gnostic world view, where the world and its attractions are seen as the realm of evil, with truth lying beyond, entirely separate and distant. In term of using characters to represent spiritual or moral forces, it compares well with Pilgrims Progress. Read it as an entertainment or as a savagely uncompromising moral fable; in either case it works well.

I LOVE this book! It has everything a good young adult mystery should have: mystery(duh!), intrigue, fun and danger! My mom even loves this book and got me pentominoes for Christmas. You really get lost in her descriptions and you feel like you know these characters, inside and out. I would probably classify this as not only a mystery but kind of like a "indie" mystery;it's a unique twist on a what you think will be your average art crime.

I found the thesis of this book fascinating. I had the privilege of using this book as our text while studying with Dr. Baird in Israel when I was 19. He was an amazing man and an amazing scholar and author. A privilege to have been one of his students.
Sue Tinder, an orphan raised amongst thieves by Mrs. Sucksby, makes her way as a pickpocket or ‘fingersmith’ in 1860’s London. Wooed by the wily Gentleman to take part in scheme to trick Maud Lily, a young heiress with an considerable inheritance to marry him, Sue secures a position as the young woman’s maid in her uncle’s household. However, things don’t go exactly as planned. Richly drawn characters and a sinister atmosphere permeate Waters’ superbly plotted Dickensian tale. Several shocking twists will make it difficult for readers’ to put this page-turner down until its satisfying conclusion.
Here's what I learned from this book: if you have recurring tongue pain for a year and a dentist does a biopsy and tells you you're fine--YOU ARE NOT FINE!

I love this book to death. Though Tolstoy could have published this as two novels, it gives an excellent portrayal of reality and what happens when one tries to romanticize reality and the consequences of it.
