Typical Roddy Doyle book, nice Irish family story.
See my other Dr. Seuss reviews. My feelings for each book are similar.

I may be giving this book 3 stars simply because of the setting. Minot brings the Maine coastal summer feeling to life and that was fantastic. I agree with others that the writing style made for a rambling story which was sometimes hard to follow but isn't that the way memories must get tangled up at the end of life. I liked how the story meandered and sometimes the reader, like Ann, was unsure of where they were and who was there. I can't say I ever felt anything for Ann though and that always unnerves me. I guess I like the idea of the story and the settings and descriptions of the events and characters more than the Ann-Harris plot. I think it would make for nice beach reading though... MOVIE WARNING: To those who loved the book and want to see the movie the script is heavily edited!! The movie little resembles the book although it does give you the same hazy unfinished feeling. Just be aware that most of the book is not included in the movie!

Amazing man. Gifted writer also.
For Your Eyes Only is a book of a few short James Bond stories, some of which have titles recognizable from the movies but aren't related otherwise. Several take place at the waning days of the British Empire with Bond investigating things in remote parts of the empire with regional governors telling him about "the natives" even as their own power is diminishing. In "A View to a Kill" he investigates a spy ring intercepting the allies' motorcycle couriers, turning himself into the bait for them once he figures out how they're probably operating. "For Your Eyes Only" is probably the best one, with Bond sent by M to investigate, and unstated, avenge, the murders of one of M's oldest friends (M was the best man at their wedding) who was a property owner in a Caribbean island, which was desired by a Cuban gangster ready to kill for it. Of course, M isn't the only one out for vengeance, and Bond soon runs into the old couple's daughter, well armed herself. In "Quantum of Solace" Bond is stuck in a discussion after a formal dinner with the governor of Jamaica because it's too earlier to be polite to leave. Neither of them particularly likes the other, but formalities must be observed. By the end, though, they have a good storytelling session and understand one another a bit better. "Risico" has a plot that forms some of the basis of the movie "For Your Eyes Only" with Bond getting involved with a Greek smuggler cooperating with British Intelligence in order to investigate another one. But who is who, and who is using whom? In "The Hildebrand Rarity" is stuck after a job in Seychelles with little to do except dive, so a rude, obnoxious, drunken, American millionaire, Krest, hires him, not knowing he's really a top-notch spy, to hunt down a very rare fish for him to take home so a science foundation will pay for his expensive yacht. Throughout the hunting Bond stays on Krest's yacht and is treated like a servant, abused and yelled at by Krest, but not as badly as Krest's very young wife. By the end Krest is found dead with the fish shoved into his throat, and no one knows who did it.
When reading a book by this author I noticed just how much swearing there is in her books. Almost as if she really thinks that teenagers say the F - Word after everything, which some do, don't get me wrong. But come on... Otherwise, very good plot and I love Nick!
