I just finished reading this for the second time and I struggled a lot through the first half, in part because it stirred something drastic and beautiful in me the first time I read it in 2004. This time, I found myself reading only small portions and putting it down for days at a time. Restless. The experience of reading this, my absolute favorite book, felt so different this second time and I hated that. Beginning to feel guilty, I told myself resolutely that I must finish it and I gave myself a deadline that I (of course) missed by a handful of days. The second half of the novel moved much faster, thankfully, and I read something like 100 pages today and finished it with the tears in my eyes that I remember from my first reading and from my reading of Love in the Time of Cholera and from my readings of several of Marquez's short stories. I have never felt so grateful for being overcome with emotion--I still have it in me to be moved and stirred by beautiful writing. I feared that that capability in me was gone but it isn't. As long as I have that, I am alive. Thank you, Marquez.

Fascinating read about the struggle against unseen killers. My only criticism is that the chapters build up so that you're expecting a climax, but next thing you know the data has been crunched or the problem just fixes itself, and it's on to the next story.

"In psychology and cognitive science, magical thinking is non-scientific causal reasoning (e.g. superstition) According to Frazer, magical thinking depends on two laws: the law of similarity (an effect resembles its cause), and the law of contagion (things which were once in physical contact maintain a connection even after physical contact has been broken)." Joan Didion's descriptions of her life in the years preceding and the years following her husband’s sudden and unexpected death do not fall short of tragic. Her accounts of the medical procedures done in the eleven minutes after his heart attack, and her year of grieving rely on both raw narratives, scattered contemplations, and detailed medical terminology. Her reflections on time, her initial inability to grasp the reality of John's and her own mortality, and the claims that humans oppose change and unconsciously reject death further enrich the novel. "We are imperfect mortal beings, aware of that mortality even as we push it away, failed by our very complication, so wired that when we mourn our losses we also mourn, for better or for worse, ourselves. As we are. As we are no longer. As we will one day not be at all." - Joan Didion, "The Year of Magical Thinking"

Its not actually that good. I've always heard about how amazing it was, but the writing was mediocre, the story didn't work for me, and the pacing was just bad. I may check out later volumes to see if it picks up, but I'm not burning to see what happens next. The story basically revolves around this being that is born when an angel and a demon have an affair. The being is as powerful as God. As soon as this thing is born, God "quits." So our main character, who has been possessed by this new entity, is wandering around Texas looking for God. Oh, yeah, and our main character is a preacher. And his new best friend is a Vampire. And our Preacher is also going around with his old flame, who he's constantly trying to get into bed. Oooooo! Soooo controversial and shoooooccckkking! It just feels like someone who is a passionate atheist and has no trouble just grabbing cheap shock-value writing a "religious" story. And its clearly trying really hard to push the "disturbing violence" button. I'm generally not majorly pro-disturbing violence and when its just there in hopes you'll say "Oh no he di'n't!" I don't have much patience for it.

I was not as impressed by this book as many other were. I did not think amazing that he wrote from the POV of an overweight teenaged girl. I did not become a real fan of Wally Lamb until his next book I Know This Much Is True.

It doesn't really deserve five stars...as Dostoevsky is a dirty sell-out. I mean, love story? Who would have thought?
Pretty much standard issue Space Opera. Worth reading at least once. Not in the same league as his collaborations with David Weber.
A sweet, breezy read with snappy dialogue and fun characters. Nice brain fluff.
