lit... not just Chick Lit

Revisado: 11-14-23

I avoid chick lit. My wife came with a hard copy of this from the book store. Having read some Julian Fellowes books and knowing something of the Mitfords, I looked for and found the Audible version.
Yes, it is a mystery and has those conventions. Yes, it is the first of the series and I knew how certain aspects would resolve. That said, I really enjoyed this book. I will take a week off and start the next one.

Another romp like Belweather and Croassstalk.

Revisado: 10-14-23

This is another fun read. The narrator is excellent. These three noves are among my favorite Connie Willis books.

Klavan's best novel.

Revisado: 11-08-22

Well worth reading. The respectful use of religion and romantic poetry makes it shine. It reminds me of Indiana Jones.

Excellent on tech. Weak on political speech.

Revisado: 11-05-21

they fail to deal with the downside of censoring speech. I would have loved to hear then discuss the censoring the New York Post stories on Hunter Biden's laptop.

One of the favorites I have ever heard

Revisado: 09-26-21

I clicked on this as a daily deal. I have about 1400 titles in my library and this is among my favorites. a poignant tale of a young single woman in the blitz. Yes, it is predictable, following well-loved formulas, but I just loved it. It is well-written and is great for the book-lovers of the world.

A masterful work on a complex event

Revisado: 01-04-20

It might be that, after writing the story of Richard Jewel, the book was too short. Expanding it is usually a recipe for disaster. Here it worked. Beginning with the story of how Atlanta won the contest to host the Olympics and continuing through the dogged investigation to hunt down the actual bomber Alexander and Salwen create a document similar a Tom Wolfe novel.

The stories are riveting and I hope to read more from them. I rank the authors in a class with Michael Lewis (The Blind Side and Money Ball), which is the highest praise.

Paul Michael, the narrator is one of the best in the industry and is up to that standard on this book.

This is an accurate portrayal of Florida

Revisado: 01-02-19

First of all, this is a great story, well told. I loved the characters and rejoiced and mourned with them. That would make it good fiction if it was nothing but fantasy. The catch is that there is a boatload of actual truth in it.

I grew up in and live in Central Florida. My forebears stayed in Georgia and dealt with the devastation of the U.S. civil war. I have discussed this book with some of the foremost historians of Florida, and they assure me this is an accurate historical novel. The characters are fictitious, but the conduct and events are true. This is what the Florida crackers who were successful went through.

this is not an easy read, but it, worth the effort

Revisado: 11-10-18

George Gilder is a fascinating riding, whether he is writing about the place of men in society, or technology. this is not an easy book. It will help if you have an elementary understanding of cryptography and understand the basics of Bitcoin and its blockchain. That being said, I think this is an important book and merits the effort. if you want some basic explanations on cryptography and Bitcoin, I would recommend the Security Now podcast at twit. TV. Start with episode 80 and when you finish the several shows on cryptography, go to episodes 287 and 643.

I always score in the idea of a futurist, but Gilder has been remarkably right on some of his past predictions. this review was dictated and I am too lazy to edit it.

A boring Moore novel.

Revisado: 04-29-18

At his best, Christopher Moore is a great author. I have read several of his books 3 or more times. About 1/3 of his works are disappointing. This one was simply boring. By the time I was 2/3rds through, I gave up and quit. I will pre-order his next book and expect something wickedly funny.
