I know it's kinda too late for me to be reading this book. But I just got a copy lately and so im reading it. The book is always better than the movie.

I tried to ignore the fact that Neil was married. Only problem with that is that I think part of why he was so freaking horny is because he was cheating on his wife. And Ashleigh/Tiffany was so much younger than his wife. And hell, she'd obviously let him do things his wife probably wouldn't. He sure got lucky with her. And I mean lucky in the euphemistic sense as well as lucky she was interested. I was wondering all along if she really knew who he was. The parts about his daughter could probably have been taken out entirely, but they provided a nice, sexy intermission to the Neil/Ashleigh story. Funny how the daughter spoke with such disdain about Ashleigh's vocation, but had no qualms whatsoever with being with two people at once, gender doesn't matter. I'm not saying either is wrong, but neither would be met with much approval if it were published in the newspaper. It almost felt like I was reading about a young Doc & Mrs. B from Selena Kitt's Baumgartners with Emily and Mark, lol! I admit feeling bad for Neil's wife, though, since she was in the dark about her husband's activities. Maybe what would be cool (retribution?) is if we have another story where while she was away at the twins' birthday, she got down and dirty herself? Hmmm.... :-)

I really liked reading To Dance! Even though it`s really short, it describes the story well.

This is the second part to the story that began with Caius Crispus in Sailing to Sarantium. In the first novel a large theme had to do with the political shaping of religion, or perhaps how politics handles the truth of religion. The magical half-world plays a large role in the shaping of the characters. I am extremely glad that I read the first book before reading Lord of Emperors. Lord of Emperors, though it touches on the physical representation of Jad (God), has far less to do with ideas of religion and far more to do with political intrigue, and how that intrigue affects those it touches personally and the citizens whose lives are changed in its aftermath, as if all are pieces to be played in a game. "Sarantium was not a place in which one found refuge, even in pursuit of a vision." (pg. 104) The main players, themselves pieces in the game, maneuver allegiances and plots, keeping a watchful eye on each in expectation of a victorious end. Yet the story is masterfully told through the mosaicist, the cook, the charioteer, the dancer, and the physician. (Though, at times, we are privy to the Empress and the Queen.) A few quotes that I enjoyed, and that hint at larger thematic enterprises: "The great events of an age appear, to those living through them, as backdrops only to the vastly more compelling dramas of their own lives, and how could it be otherwise?" "It is true, undeniably, that the central moments of an age occur on the margins of the lives of most people." (269) "The soul must bend to endure." (352)"We must learn to bend or we break." (359) And several more in succession. And, then there is another story, barely introduced, of a merchant in the far south talking with a boy, Tarif, in a conversation that will be immortal and leaving a life because of a dream. " That day, in the early spring of the year, there were two [places that may be properly seen as lying at the heart of an age] on the earth, far apart. One was in the desert of Soriyya, where a man in a hood, which a cloak drawn over his mouth, preserved a silence among the drifting sands, having remained awake all the night before, fasting, and looking up at the stars."(270) A third book? I certainly hope so. I feel unfinished with Maximus, the Holy Patriarch's privy adviser. And, certainly, Pertennius of Eubulus needs to receive his just dues. Getting knocked out wasn't enough to make him see the error of his ways.
Probably captures Warhol's voice better than his ghost-written autobiographies, even though those were also ghosted by his assistant, Pat Hackett. With this book, she's mostly transcribing tape recordings and redacting telephone calls he made to her each day, Warhol's unique way of "keeping a diary." Be sure to get a copy with the index (first editions didn't have one), unless you plan to read it cover-to-cover as I did.

Thought this one was pretty good, especially for the 14th book in a series. But at that same time, I find myself growing a little tired of Harry's schtick and snark. And without giving anything away, something happens at the end that sets things up for the next book and I really am not happy about it. So I am unsure if I will continue with the series. That being said, despite a few earlier clunker installments, Cold Days is solid and well-worth reading.
