[Note that I listened to this book on tape. It was read flawlessly by Michael Jayston and came from Chivers Audio Books.:] A suspenseful tale of murder, rape, revenge and (I believe, above all) personal growth, PD James’ “Innocent Blood” artfully navigates one of my favorite territories: the physical and psychosocial geography of England – from the grottiest of urban dives with shifty-eyed denizens, to the sadly middle-class suburbs, to the self-conscious upper-middle class districts of the well-educated and gratuitously politicized. You’ve got everything here from Blakean quotes and Victorian paintings, to cramped lounges with “telly”s, to chip shops, urine-soaked alleys and rusted-out vans. Each of the main characters has a familial relationship propelling him or her through his own personal narrative, and while these relationships vary in circumstances and sentiments, they all share a unidirectional force of passion and the niggling rub of ambivalence. To begin, Philippa, an 18-year-old adoptee sets out on her mission to discover who her biological parents are – as a means to discover herself. What results is the forming and revealing of relationships that can easily be filed under the category of “strange bedfellows.” To say more would deprive you of the fun of discovering all this for yourself. This is the first of James’ novels that I’ve read that has a protagonist who, despite the usual unattractive human aspects, maintains a sense of fairness – perhaps due to her ignorance – that kept in me a sense of hope for an optimistic outcome. Perhaps that’s because I’ve only read stories from the author’s Adam Dalgliesh detective series before this. Note that, though Amazon.com says differently, the inspector does not show up in this one.

I nearly named my son "Yossarian" after Heller's [anti]hero in this novel. Loved loved loved this book, and the movie wasn't bad, either. I haven't re-read it in over 30 years, so not sure if it would hold up today. An anti-war novel in anti-war times would be hard not to love. But my love for Yossarian went beyond the war thing. He was the only sane man in an absurd world. He was smart, he was a survivor.....But I think my son is happier being Riley. Looking back on it, the best character was probably Milo Minderbinder. Selling Egyptian cotton as a food, selling to the enemy the strafing his own army's airfield. Gotta give that boy credit for ambition and American know-how.
Read too many years ago to review.
God he's such a hilarious writer. I thought this was a good book, though it was weighed down by its own intelligence in parts. The main character was simultaneously endearing and annoying, the perfect blend in some parts but also aggravating in others. Hassan was an amazing character, incredibly crafted. Throughout all of Green's book, he captures an eccentric teen voice (replete with swearing and inside jokes) that is contagiously enjoyable. Definitely not as good as Looking for Alaska, which I thought was a perfect unit of narrative goodness, but then again they are very different types of books, this one much more experimental in form. I wonder about its progression from draft to draft. This one, I imagine, was a beast to edit, but I think it turned out quite well.

So far, so good. I found the section on ventilation very enlightening—a subject I had thought far too little about. Thorough and very focused. This book is definitely a useful resource for anyone preparing to build with straw.

I love Tom Robbins, but I just didn't care for this one. I read it after reading many of his others ("Still Life with Woodpecker," "Jitterbug Perfume," -- both of which I loved -- and many others). It still amazes me that this is one of his most famous books. When people tell me that they've read it and didn't like it, I always suggest that they try one of his others. Still though, lots of people love it.
I read this book with my 4th graders. It was a pretty fun read!

A very long essay on the author's theory of why civilizations collapse. The first couple hundred pages are an interesting read. Unfortunately, by the end of this book his theory gets hammered over and over again.
