This beautifully written novel is complicated in structure, but ultimately worth the time and effort. It is a story of love, loss, betrayal, and dark family secrets, with a separate but complementary novel nested within the larger framework of the book. Stay with it to the end and the pieces of...

Reminiscent of Garcia Marquez, a good read though at times it can be trying to get through. Meridia, Ravenna and Gabriel are a lonesome family divided by an act of rage and passion many years ago. They are all haunted by that night, a flash a scream and then nothing- at least not for Meridia....

oh I wish I were brave enough to dress like a loligoth, first of all I am too old, second of all it involves way too much consideration to your actual appearance, I like: cardigan, shirt, pants, bam I'm dressed... not so much into the "does my bow match my wig match my bloomers coordinate with...

Mertensia Corydalis writes a gardening newsletter and provides glimpses of her private life through the anecdotes she shares along the way. There is plenty of humor here and also a bunch of actual gardening advice. The book slows down a bit in the second half when the story starts to take center...

Really very good, this is my first Marian Keyes but I don't think it will be my last. Nicely told with complex characters and a surprising amount of subplot that all comes together in the end, there was laughter and there was tears. A very well crafted tale.

Masterfully written, this book will keep you guessing and reading and guessing and reading long into the night. Just fantastic, I still think about it many years later and recommend it whenever I can. Eagerly awaiting Setterfield's future works.

Bukowksi's vaguely biographical fiction is always astonishing in its intensity, integrity and rawness. Truthful to the point of pain, debauched enough to make deSade blush. Henry Chinanski is finally a rising star with all the rock and roll vices that come along. Women, booze, sex and all the...

I've been waiting for this book to come out ever since I heard Madeline George read a hilarious make out scene where the kisser's skills were compared to a piece of cut cantaloupe (ew!). It's finally out and it's awesome! Anyway... Jesse (haircut courtesy of her Swiss Army Knife, giant boots,...

The contested inheritance of a multimillion dollar piece of historic New York real estate pits siblings and strangers against one another in a hilarious battle of the "will". In straightforward, unstinting language, we meet an unapologetically flawed protagonist and a bevy of other...

Each story in this great collection stands on its own, each with its own set of odd yet completely familiar characters living their ordinary lives. But these stories are anything but ordinary the way Lauren Groff crafts and writes them.

History and circumstances lead to a tragedy at a checkpoint in Jerusalem and so begins this excellent, moving novel. The author weaves together the complex, personal stories of the individuals involved in the incident, the people on the periphery with a stake in the outcome, and the history of...

Like the rest of the titles in her series, I really enjoyed this most recent mystery by the Scottish writer, Denise Mina. Her protagonist, Paddy Meehan, is a Scottish journalist/writer and in this book she unravels the mystery behind the murder of a friend and fellow journalist, Terry. Meehan is...
