It's a normal night in August. Literature professor Arne and artist Tove are with their children at the resort in Sørlandet. Their friend, Egil, a driver by day, is staying in a cabin nearby. Kathrine, a priest, is on her way home from a seminar; the journalist Jostein is out on the town; and his wife, Turid, who is an assistant nurse, has a night shift. Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears in the sky. No one, not even the astronomers, knows for sure what kind of phenomenon it is.

Abandoned at chapter 20
Revisado: 01-23-22
Story is boring, narrator is a monotone drone, and characters are flat. Stephen King wannabe.

Lunchtime on a Saturday, 1944: The Woolworths on Bexford High Street in South London receives a delivery of aluminum saucepans. A crowd gathers to see the first new metal in ages - after all, everything’s been melted down for the war effort. An instant later, the crowd is gone; incinerated. Among the shoppers were five young children.

Prose poetry
Revisado: 01-10-22
The language was beautiful and evocative. Poetic and powerful. The characters and their lives were well drawn. The main premise and promise of the novel, however, imagining the lives that might have been of children killed in a London bombing, felt unfulfilled to me. There was no tie to the beginning at the end of the book. The story was left dangling.

Atlanta, 1974: It's Kate Murphy's first day on the job, and the Atlanta Police Department is seething after the murder of an officer. Before the day has barely begun, she already suspects she's not cut out to be a cop. Her male uniform is too big, she can't handle a gun, and she's rapidly learning that the APD is hardly a place that welcomes women. Worse still, in the ensuing manhunt she'll be partnered with Maggie Lawson, a cop with her own ax to grind.

Good Mystery
Revisado: 11-20-21
The story was good, keep me engaged. The writing, however, was pedestrian and cliche-ridden and often took me out of the story.

Haunted by an unmet promise, the Swart family loses touch after the death of their matriarch. Adrift, the lives of the three siblings move separately through the uncharted waters of South Africa; Anton, the golden boy who bitterly resents his life’s unfulfilled potential; Astrid, whose beauty is her power; and the youngest, Amor, whose life is shaped by a nebulous feeling of guilt.

Promise Broken
Revisado: 11-20-21
On the strength of a Booker Prize, this book promised to be exceptional, but was not. Each chapter felt unfinished and unsatisfying. The book ended abruptly and left me thinking "is that it?" And "who cares?"

Ultimately a Disappointment
Revisado: 01-08-21
Flanagan's brilliant, visceral description of Australian POWs and the building of the Siam railway was diminished by his attempt to weave in a love story. The end of the book, in particular, was a big disappointment. One phrase in the final chapters that took me out of the story is emblematic of this failure. As Dorrigo Evans unexpectedly encounters the woman he left behind "her breasts longing for liberation."
