It took me a few chapters to get into the story but overall I enjoyed it. Flavia de Luce is a classic spirited British heroine and I look forward to reading more of her adventures! Read more detailed comments here: http://mycoconutshy.blogspot.com/2011...
The book that introduced me to Jim Thompson and, with perhaps the exception of Pop. 1280, the one that has no equal. A new noir for a new decade. This book takes you inside the mind of a monster . . . a charming monster.
11/22/63 is the best book I've read all year! I hesitated to get this book at first, as I am not especially drawn to the JFK assassination (I'm not American nor was I alive when JFK was shot). But I am a huge Stephen King fan. And, this book did not disappoint. SK kept me attentive with a story about the intricacies and potential pitfalls of time travel. The story was superb, the characters were genuine and believable, and the Candide-like way with which he rationalizes our circumstances (we are in the best of all possible worlds) added tremendous currency to the moral dilemmas that face Jake Epping. I was especially thankful that SK did not use an overly sci-fi ending to help wrap up the book (that was my only disappointment with Under The Dome). This book gave me a better appreciation and understanding of JFK and the political whirlwind that shaped the time before, during and after that fateful day in Dallas. This is easily my vote for the best book of 2011. (One last thing... I listened to the audible version of this book)
