Short. Mix of humorous and tragic. The courtship and wedding night of 2 virgins who can't communicate is truly sad. The story slowly builds to its end, when almost is everywhere. It is true that one quick decision turns a life down a different path.
good historical fiction for the younger crowd. it's pretty wild to think that just over 200+ years ago they were still bleeding people when they were sick- amazing to think how far medicine has come

This one didn't grab me like Gaiman's earlier collection, Smoke and Mirrors, but it was still a great bunch of stories and poems.
The book had a good story but the language and activities of the characters were a bit too crude for my liking.

Such an education for the reader! Mr. Barry's investigation resembles a spider web - so many interesting lines of inquiry. Sometime they seem only loosely connected to the core of the book: the flood of 1927. I enjoy biographies and am fascinated by the history of New Orleans culture so this was a good read for me. I can see how someone not so inclined might find the book tedious.
In Cynthia Ozick’s The Puttermesser Papers, the remarkable Miss Puttermesser is introduced in an ironic tone that announces the mayhem to come. In reading this book, one discards the realist mode of interpretation for the surreal. Puttermesser is an erudite figure who is extraordinarily learned in almost everything from philosophy, history, to the arts. But intelligent as she is, Puttermesser languishes in the lower rungs of the city bureaucracy until she creates a female golem that helps her become mayor of New York City. From her rise to the limelight, the reform and beautification of the city, up to her fall from power, a futile love affair ala George Eliot, and her adoption of a cousin from the Soviet Union, The Puttermesser Papers become more Bizarre with each turn of the page. It all reads like an absurd dream, a senseless carnival. But just as one gets used to this logic of the episodic rise and fall, the last chapter arrives. The ironic tone is then replaced with a melancholy one. We are told that she was in fact in paradise already, a state of mind where she can conjure the “lost, the missing, the wished-for. The unfinished and the unachieved. Not the record of her life as she had lived it, but as she had failed to live it.” From The Secret Meaning of Paradise is That it Too is Hell
Arg. I hated this book. The main character wlaks around with a gun thinking about shooting her ex, the Delores of the title, if I recall correctly. I thought 'Rat Bohemia' was pretty good, but in general I think Schulman is a hack.

This far into the series, it's kind of like a Sookie Stackhouse Situation - I'm going to trademark that! - with these books: in that we all know, pretty generally, what is going to happen in the book: Claire and her friends will face some impossible danger, Claire will uncover new and unsettling revelations about Morganville/her friends/the vampires/etc., and in the end, everything will work out with some teenage humor and group can-do. This might sound snide but it's really not completely: I truly enjoy these novels. I just enjoy them for what they are: brain candy. Just something fun and easy to read when looking for entertainment and hot broody teenage males (heellllooooo Shane!) This is a series that's long-running but hardly takes a lot of time to read through. While this fifth novel actually does manage to shakeup the Morganville formula a bit and is rather less predictable (thank you, Mr. Bishop/feudal warfare tactics of vampires), I found it to be a lot of flash and little action. This is certainly more of a plot-driven episode in the lives of our heroes than before. There is a frenetic, almost frenzied even, pace and feel to the novel - appropriate since technically Morganville is in the throes of a civil war during these events. More information about the city and vamps themselves are rolled out, such as Amelie's relative age (she causally mentions being around for the Great Fire - aka Rome in 64 AD!), and details about the alluring but dangerous vampire genius Myrnin. Furthermore, Myrnin, Sam, Michael and Amelie continue to be the only humane vampires in the town, especially with a rather rabid antagonist named Ysandre to pick up any slack that the villainous Mr. Bishop missed.
