I originally picked this book up because of an excerpt I caught about how the author read, and I thought, "wow, that kind of sounds like the anal retentive way I read things!" I think the part that stuck with me the most was how Prose talked about how students read in some of the classes she taught. It was all about what the authors motives were instead of the words the author provided and the story. I suffered through this, especially with Kafka in World Literature a few years ago. The book breaks down quite a bit of literature I've never read. Plus side: I got more book recs! The other side: I was afraid I didn't get quite as much out of the examples as I could have if I had read the pieces beforehand. This isn't a book that has a lot to do with writing directly and I don't think much to do with learning how to write. It's geared toward classics (and maybe a few contemporary pieces). If I hated reading book excerpts, I wouldn't have liked this at all. And the entire book is excerpts, where Prose takes pieces of various works to show how authors formatted things to flesh out a story. My favorite sections were "Close Reading," "Words," and "Narration" and all of these occur very early on in the book, which says it all. Other sections the examples given lost me. Prose complimented a sentence I read over ten times and couldn't understand, saying that "careful readers would have no problem understand this." I think that means I've met my match in close-reading. Hee. I wish there had been nonfiction, too, since it was mentioned in the excerpt I read. But every one of the books explicated is fiction. There's a lot of wanking of the "greats" here, which is sort of the biggest disappoint for me because I expected, "This is why I think this works." and not "This works because Author A is great at writing amazing sentences."

This is another Heyer that I really, really enjoyed. The dialogue sparkled, even if at times Heyer laid on the cant so thickly that I couldn't always figure out exactly what a particular saying meant. The set-pieces were amusing (balloons and Baluchistan hounds, oh my!) The secondary characters were as finely and as wittily observed as usual, even if slightly more subtly and a little less openly caricatured than in other books. Frederica was a wonderful heroine, and Alverstoke (I refuse to consider anyone called Vernon in a romantic setting) a suitably rake-with-a-heart-of-gold hero. I liked how Heyer allowed their relationship to progress. It was, of course, plain from the start that Frederica and Alverstoke would end up together, but the process of them falling in love was developed slowly and carefully, with a detail and an attention to character development that I really liked. I do not think, by the end, that we were left in much doubt as to just how much both of them - but especially Alverstoke - have changed as a result of their contact with one another. I especially liked how the children, Felix and Jessamy, played a role in bringing the two together; and as more than a deus ex machina (diis ex machina? Is there a plural? I'm never certain) as well. Heyer managed the nigh impossible feat of making them into likeable, realistic children, despite one of them filling the Male Polyanna role, and the other fulfilling the part of the Irrepressible Scamp. As usual, Heyer manages to fill three hundred and eighty pages with not an awful lot of plot, but some very well drawn characters and some very amusing dialogue. (Then again, she says, if it worked for Jane Austen...) I'd rate it up there with The Grand Sophy, and it's definitely one I'd pick up again.
