After 50 years, two sisters reunite in a creepy Dorset manor house. It's clear from the outset that this story will not end well. Written by another author, this novel could have been gothic trash. Poppy Adams, however, handled the story beautifully. I will never forget the distinctive voice of the main character.After 50 years, two sisters reunite in a creepy Dorset manor house.

Moves a little more slowly than the Alex Cross books but is still a good read.
** spoiler alert ** Gibson deals in ideas and events, not characters. That distinction was a little jarring at first. Even after the novel was underway, Gibson's authorial intrusions, using characters as mouthpieces, often was annoying. Mostly, Gibson speaks through his characters to explain technical concepts and ideas, to avoid having the discussion come from his own mouth. It's a little like watching someone use hand puppets, except that instead of explaining the alphabet he's talking about locative art, war profiteering, and other nifty stuff of the digerati age. Sometimes, the characters are outright annoying, as though Gibson doesn't know what to do with them. One of the main characters is informed that she will not be allowed to leave, and she spends her time checking out two of the men. It doesn't convince. Mostly, the characters are fine, if a little worn from Gibson's hand up their bottoms and voice erupting randomly through their mouths. The characters aren't they key element of the story, although they often are interesting. Neither is the plot. Gibson lays out the plot elements, so that the reader can have some fun figuring out what will happen before it happens, and before the characters figure anything out. The style of telling - three interwoven stories from the viewpoints of three different characters - interested me. But the real fun was the journey into "spook country," a different world operating on different rules. This country is secret, and cool, even as it surely is public and horrible. It is the country of the novel, a parallel country existing in all countries. With the novel, Gibson has a lot of fun. He is commenting on paranoia, hyper-patriotism, the condition of the United States under G. W. Bush, the intersection of spying and celebrity, and the idle games of the super-rich. In the end, he acknowledges that there is little that individuals can do against the powerful and the wealthy. But he argues, through the novel, that even individuals - at least ones with a strong moral purpose, which all three of his protagonists possess - can cause a little mayhem and mischief and come out no worse for the wear.

Like most biographies, this is a little dense, but you have to respect the time and effort it took the author to research all the historical facts. Overall, it's a really interesting read that paints a more sympathetic (and accurate) picture of marie antoinette than you may have seen before.

This book was just okay for me. I'm a big fan of STNG. The book is just not as good as the show. Even though I could picture each character in my head, it just didn't to it for me. I think I'll stick to the shows and movies.
This book was passed down to me from my mother-in-law's book club collection. She hated it...I kind of got sucked into the drama and sex of the story, like a bad reality show you can't stop watching. Interesting to read about that time period.

I liked his Devil in White City, too. The dual story format doesn't bother me like it bothered some of the literary critics. And I would never, ever have read a bio of Marconi otherwise. What an entrepreneur he was....I also love the feel of the times Larson gives us.
Not up to snuff with the Iliad. Still extraordinary.

Though along the same realm of Anne Frank's diary, Nina Lugobskaya's diary is vastly difference. While Anne's diary is hopeful and beautifully written, Nina's diary is more cynical and contains her day-to-day life. Of course, Anne was stuck in the Annex while Nina could go out and about, so we learn more about Stalin's Russia in her diary than we do Hitler's regime in Anne's. Anne and Nina are very different girls. Anne Frank was pretty, charming, the type of girl everyone liked, especially boys. Nina Lugovskaya, on the other hand, was much darker, more cynical, and isolated from others. She was a bit of an outcast, which makes her diary read like a real teenager's. It really isn't fair to compare the two diaries, though, since Nina didn't get to edit hers beforehand like Anne did. Nina, while often moody and selfish, is a shrew observer, and you really get to see what Russia was like at the time. You learn about the day-to-day life there: school, shopping, and the police knocking down your door. Nina's father had been sent away for suspected suspicious activities and so she, her mother, and two older sisters were on their own in terms of money and food, both of which there was never enough. The most passionate you ever see Nina is when she's ranting against Stalin. I could really see the political climate and how it was going to turn out. Nina, though dreaming of being a writer as a kid, ended up being a painter. Like Anne, this is her only testimony to us. I'd recommend!
