Here's the deal. I tried my best to write a review, but I couldn't come up with anything that seemed decent enough to count as a review. It happens. Even if I really enjoy a book, sometimes I have a hard time trying to put it into words. So, this won't be one of my typical reviews. Truth be told, it...
Note to readers: Don't read the Introduction by Jonathan Letham until after you've finished the novel. Like many introductions, it completely spoils the novel. I felt this book had too much falling action. That's it. Nothing else negative to say about this one. Every other aspect of this book I fou...
I loved this book! It was dark and light, happy and sad, tender and violent. It was so spectacular! And the creepy take-away? Sometimes ghosts are still alive.
I still do not know what I just have read. This book was too weird. I would not categorize it as horror; mostly I would say it is creepy and gloomy. The three main characters that live in the house are Mary Katherine (the book is narrated from her PoV), her sister Constance and their Uncle Julian. T...

Chronic City is Jonathan Lethem’s newest novel, eagerly devoured by the many lovers of Fortress of Solitude. I never actually read Fortress, but I ...
My copy:Dombey and Son doesn't have notes at the end of the book, which I've found useful and interesting bonus material in Penguin Classic books. Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son: Wholesale, Retail and for Exportation published in monthly parts from 1 October 1846 to 1 April 1848 and in one...
Really creepy book. Worth to read but I was not satisfied with the end and with the lack of info about the main topic of the story: *spoiler* the death of 4 member of the Blackwood family. Also I expected a little more depth into the characters but I'm still mentally saying WTF, so yeah, I'm definit...
I'll have to return to this book once I've actually read Mailer's fiction. He's a wonderful writer, but my ignorance of the bulk of his literary corpus basically had me flying blind (e.g. I don't know how he had previously "vilified the homosexual"; so I can't really judge the merit of his semi-apol...
