It’s the spring of 1969, and Lakshmi, now married to Dr. Jay Kumar, directs the Healing Garden in Shimla. Malik has finished his private school education. At 20, he has just met a young woman named Nimmi when he leaves to apprentice at the Facilities Office of the Jaipur Royal Palace. Their latest project: a state-of-the-art cinema. Malik soon finds that not much has changed as he navigates the Pink City of his childhood. Power and money still move seamlessly among the wealthy class, and favors flow from Jaipur’s Royal Palace, but only if certain secrets remain buried.

Performances fabulous .Some redundance in story
Revisado: 02-12-22
I loved the original Henna Artist. this sequel has the same lovely writing and great performances but the story spends a lot of time referring to the first book in an effort to make a stand alone book which dilutes this new story.

Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay - with officer Nestor Camacho on board - Tom Wolfe is off and running. Here is a big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous best-selling novels, Back to Blood is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.

Are they paying him by the word?
Revisado: 11-20-12
I'm a huge fan of Tom Wolfe and have read everything he has written with relish. As expected, the carefully observed culture and characters are central to a web of story that twists and leaps with wit and surprise.
Not expected was the repetition of phrases and descriptions such that I kept wanting to hit the fast forward button to get to the next paragraph. Wolfe is known for his verbosity but I don't recall such repetitiousness in previous efforts. A ruthless editor could have saved a good 10% of my time to the benefit of what otherwise is a fascinating and enjoyable read.

I want my credit back
Revisado: 07-09-12
What disappointed you about Fifty Shades of Grey?
Everything... The story... the dialog... the narrator
What could E. L. James have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Not slept through her introduction to writing fiction class.
What didn???t you like about Becca Battoe???s performance?
She sounded like a spoiled high school junior. No education or class.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger at wasting my credit
Any additional comments?
I worry for my country and culture if this is what passes for popular. Oh... right... I forgot that is why I don't watch television.
