Polly is more of a book for young adults that was published nearly twenty years too late. I really wanted to like this book, but it did not live up to my expectations. In some ways, it was kind of fun, cause reading I felt like I was a teenager again, remembering what it was like to be in high school, listening to music, going to shows, and chasing boys. It bothered me that this character was named Polly, and according to the author she was named after the disturbing beautiful Nirvana song of the same name- about a girl being assaulted. The cultural references and the setting are cool, but the characters are soooo boring. I wanted Polly to do something crazy, but she never did. The most interesting characters in the book were "T-Shirt Boy," the older boy Polly meets at a show was somewhat interesting, along with the British DJ she meets in college. Polly was so bland I had a hard time wondering what guys saw her. She didn't seem edgy or punk at all, in fact, a little nerdy. She was middle-class girl from Virginia with a summer job at the Disney Store in the mall wearing a skirt and loafers. How lame.

Truly entertaining. I have reread this series countless times. Every time I can't seem to decide what to take off the shelf I seem to be drawn to this book.

I couldn't finish it. The author dropped the F-bomb so many times and the mystery was boring. I didn't even care about the case he was working on. So I got about a third of the way throught it and said forget it! There are so many better books out there, why am I wasting my time. I wouldn't have even lasted that long if it hadn't been a book club pick. Weird choice for a book club book IMHO.

This book tells the tale of the Essex, out of Nantucket, that was rammed by a sperm whale in the pacific, and was the inspiration for Moby Dick. It's a fascinating story, but I wish that the history in this book was a little deeper. It offers a little bit of about whaling, Nantucket, etc. But if you've read Moby Dick, then you've already gotten that for 300 pages. There is some interesting discussion on the juxtaposition between Nantucket’s Quakerism and dominance of the most violent of trades, which I don't remember from Melville. However, on the most part you get trivia, some of which is kind of prurient, if you like that sort of thing.
I read the first half of the book in 1 night and it freaked me out and found it hard to sleep afterwards without dreaming of Room. Yet at the same time, I felt a distance between me and the characters, I was intrigued but closed off, which is probably best.

I've read this series -- well, most of it -- was excited to see there are more to read. I liked the world Carey created -- interesting characters and experiences.
Didn't finish-got bogged down @ 500 plus pages (read about half of it)...Very detailed, historical fiction about the women who were involved with Shelley, Keats & Byron. Interesting character studies--each of the four women: Mary Wollstonecroft Shelley (authoress of Frakenstein, daughter of one of the first feminists) married to Percy Shelley; Lady Caroline Lamb who was obsessed w/ Byron, a willful, colorful,independent woman who dressed as a man inorder to move about freely in a society: Augusta Leigh (half sister of Byron) rumoured to have had an incestuous relationship w/ him & Fanny Brawne the subject of many of Keats' poems & letters. The novel motivated me to research fact vs.conjecture re: this fascinating, famous, gifted circle of 18th century poets/lovers, learn more about the romantic poets from Blake (1789) to Clare (1935) & best of all enjoy their brilliant, beautiful, inspiring & (of course) romantic poetry.

I really loved this book. It's a well written story which is narrated by Death during WWII. Death is intrigued by Liesel, a little girl who steals books, and follows the events of her life in Germany. It's a moving account of Liesel's character and how her poor German foster parents opened their hearts and their home to forever change the lives of two total strangers. The theme here is love and compassion, and "Death" does a fine job of telling this story in an amusing and artful way.
