In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time.

Narrator spoiled the story.
Revisado: 01-05-25
The narrator made it hard to follow the story. She had a habit of fading out her sentences, and speaking too fast.

As a freelance writer, Jack Naile was used to getting an occasional letter from one of his readers, but when one of those readers sent him a clipping from a magazine, it would not only change his life, but could alter the course of history as well. The clipping had a photo, taken in Nevada in 1903, of a street scene, including a story with a sign, "Jack Naile - General Merchandise". The Nevada town's historian sent him a photo of the 19th century Jack Naile, what had seemed like an interesting coincidence immediately became much more bizarre.

If you love guns and fighting, this is for you.
Revisado: 09-24-21
I don't love guns and fighting, blood and guts, and political brainwashing. I thought it was more about time travel..
The narrator was great.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

too many drugs
Revisado: 02-13-14
Would you try another book from Donna Tartt and/or David Pittu?
It would depend on the subject.
Has The Goldfinch turned you off from other books in this genre?
No.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
no
Any additional comments?
The descriptions of how drunk and stoned they got and what drugs they took, seemed to drag on forever. I like long books, and always look for that, but the drug stuff was just boring.

Slower and clearer.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Bone Season?

Songs in Ordinary Time is set in the summer of 1960 - the last of quiet times and America's innocence. It centers on Marie Fermoyle, a strong but vulnerable woman whose loneliness and ambition for her children make her easy prey for the dangerous con man Omar Duvall.

An annoying waste of time
Revisado: 10-26-08
I kept listening, thinking something good or resonable would happen. But no. Just hours of low life, grim, crazy people getting into bad situations, then worse ones.

Rezsia, granddaughter of Dion, was unequipped to face the wilderness. Although she was a wolfwalker, her telepathic link with the wolves was too new to give her the strength and experience she needed to survive in the forest. Then the elders asked her to investigate a series of strange deaths. The older wolfwalker, Coale, could teach Rezsia to join in the packsong and run with the wolves. The scouts assigned to escort her could instruct her in survival skills.

Awful
Revisado: 08-30-05
I was very dissapointed in this book! Too much long drawn out description of every feeling, every twinge of the girl. Maybe it was the reader, but I didn't even finish it.
