Binchy is a great Irish storyteller who writes about friendship and betrayal and the loyalties made as a result. This is a "rite of passage" novel where friends from differing backgrounds clash and resolve issues during their greater search for independence and self-realization.
A quick read. Hemingway satirizes Sherwood Anderson, John Dos Passos, James Joyce, D.H. Lawrence, etc. It all goes down in Northern Michigan. I read Torrents after reading The 42nd Parallel by Dos Passos, from which Hemingway borrows the grandiose mood and super-earnest young Americans. Hemingway sits these strapping fellows down in podunk bars and has them muse about the fairy-traceries of frost on the windows and the beauty of Paris. One of them acquires a pet sparrow and marries an elderly English waitress in Petoskey. Riffing on the British Lake District follows. There are silly author's notes interspersed within the text, including one describing a gourmet French meal Hemingway enjoyed with (who else but) John Dos Passos. The notes ramble on and on. At one point Hemingway claims that he translated the New Testament into Ojibwa. The absurdity of Torrents makes it an entertaining read, but a lot of its humor will be lost on people who aren't into the Lost Generation. It would probably be REALLY funny to someone who has read more widely in the early 20th century milieu. Moving forward, someone should write a book like Torrents using Bret Easton Ellis / Chuck Palahniuk / Dave Eggers / Jonathan Safran Foer as canon fodder. Something about a body-building Wall Street bond trader with a vast reservoir of survivor guilt, who falls in with a bunch of nihilistic organ donors and gives up his pancreas while still alive. It would need Foer-style visual aids to drive home the literary gaggery. Like an up-close picture of the Islets of Langerhans, followed by a really gross description of insulin production. Yeahhhhhh....
It should have a happy ending. ☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☻♪☼♦☺☻♪☼♦☺☻♪

INVASION is a great first installment to a new science fantasy series, by Christian author Jon Lewis, that is sure to please readers of all ages. This fast paced action packed novel has it all; conspiracies, gateways to alien worlds, shapeshifters, robots, monsters, comic book heroes, flying motorcycles, jet packs, and of coarse teen angst. Although there is a ton of action, there's also plenty of meat, with a straightforward and strong story line and well formed characters, readers will have no trouble finding themselves captivated by this addictive sci-fi series. Protagonist surfer boy Colt McAllister, is a sympathetic and likable character, as his relatively normal teenage life is turned upside-down overnight. As if losing both of his parents in a suspicious car accident wasn't enough, he soon discovers that his favorite comic books were more fact then fiction and closer to home then he could have ever imagined. Colt along with childhood friend Dani and new found ally Oz, find themselves fighting for their lives, battling creatures of nightmares and conglomerate company Trident; who are conspiring to exterminate the human race in an attempt to take over earth. With the help of covert agency C.H.A.O.S (Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural), Colt and his friends attempted to uncover the truth behind his parents murder and expose the horrors of Trident Biotech. With its Men In Black/Fringe vibe, youthful cast, futuristic gadgets and government cover-ups; INVASION's exciting debut proves promising for Lewis and this new young adult series. Being won over from beginning to end, I eagerly await the next installment in the exciting C.H.A.O.S. series, due out in 2012. If you want to read a thoroughly entertaining book and captures your imagination INVASION is well worth reading. I received this book free from the publisher through NetGalley. These are my own thoughts and opinions.
A fun and inspiring read.

My copy of this was published in 1986
The author writes plainly, a style I enjoy. He does, however, write with a noticeable bias, preferring all things Roman and American. The topic proves too massive for the 150 page pamphlet. In an effort to give some kind of perspective to an otherwise poorly written book, the author writes an introduction and conclusion - mostly personal opinions - about what he thinks the book conveys. These prove to be the most interesting part of the book. The other 130 pages are just descriptions of cities. Reason to read: Facts. Introduction/Conclusion. Recommendation: Go to your local bookstore and enjoy the 20 good pages over a cup of coffee. They can use the traffic.
Surprisingly well written and fun, this intelligent take on the first women in a fictional (but based on skull and bones)Yale secret society is begging to be made into a movie - or at least a Fox Network series.

In London I recognized the plateware from the pictures in this book! It was so exciting.

With all the great YA fiction out there I am not sure this was really worth reading. I found Viola's voice very false. And the book was even kind of boring. The reason to pick it up is the cute cover with Adriana Trigiani's name on it.
