At the urgent request of Harry Madigan, Martha "Marty" Nickerson takes on the defense of Louisa Rawlins, a woman suspected of murdering her wealthy husband. Harry is Marty's law partner, her lover, and, coincidentally, Louisa Rawlins' ex-lover. Glamorous and charismatic, Louisa is the polar opposite of Marty. Though the evidence against Louisa is compelling, Marty's gut tells her that something doesn't quite fit. Yet, as the trial progresses, Marty begins to doubt her own judgment.

So-so book, terrific reading
Revisado: 04-24-07
While the mystery here is lukewarm, the writing is funny and the narration is *really* funny, with the reader truly relishing the differences between the characters while never overstepping the story.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 53
In 2002, five women are discovered barbarously murdered in Sierra Leone. Reuters Africa correspondent Connie Burns suspects a British mercenary: a man who seems to turn up in every war-torn corner of Africa, whose reputation for violence and brutality is well-founded and widely known. Connie's suspicions that he's using the chaos of war to act out sadistic, misogynistic fantasies fall on deaf ears -- but she's determined to expose him and his secret.

Tense in a good way
Revisado: 03-19-07
This one is a great match between book and narrator. The heroine is smart and tense and complicated and doesn't scare easily--but when she DOES get spooked, so do we. The narrator's effects are subtle, and she does a terrific job of conveying the foreboding tone. Even walking down the street in bright sunshine, I had to turn this one off sometimes, so convinced I became that something was going to tap me on the shoulder!

David Wolfe's life is approaching an exhilarating peak: he's a successful San Francisco lawyer, he's about to get married, and he's being primed for a run for Congress. But when the phone rings and he hears the voice of Hana Arif—the Palestinian woman with whom he had a secret affair in law school—he begins a completely unexpected journey. The next day, the prime minister of Israel is assassinated by a suicide bomber while visiting San Francisco; soon, Hana herself is accused of being the mastermind behind the murder. Now David faces an agonizing choice.

I'm with Betty, above
Revisado: 03-10-07
I'm a big fan of Patterson, but this one felt more like really bad James Michener, with enormous chunks of historical information and teeth-grindingly laborious, evenhanded dispensation of opinions about Israel and Palestine delivered in the form of laughingly unbelievable dialogue. But I'm giving it two stars because I only made it through the first two hours before giving up.

In his newest collection of essays, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives, a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today.

good, but awkward mix of studio and live
Revisado: 06-11-04
Another reviewer prefers Sedaris's live recordings but I have to say that the two live segments here are rather grating, a little heavy on the "knowing laughter" factor. And the transitions from studio to live are jarring. Still, awfully funny.

Running with Scissors is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of being Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead ringer for Santa and a lunatic in the bargain.

Awfully solipsistic
Revisado: 08-22-03
The horrors of this boy's adolescence are only matched by his complete lack of interest in understanding them, and if *he* doesn't care, who should I? The book is fun to listen to in a sort of look-at-that-train-wreck kind of way but Burroughs seems awfully full of himself, and embarassing so in the way he has the other characters tell him (and us) how creative and gifted he is.
