Death in the Jungle: Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestown
by Candace Fleming (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Candace Fleming deserves every accolade. Her upper middle-grade books about Amelia Earhart, the Romanovs, and Charles Lindbergh are all better than any books for adults I've read about the same subjects. Like her earlier nonfiction for this age group ...more | |

| Look, I didn't like the first couple of spreads - I found the font off-putting and didn't love the white background. But once the story got rolling, OMG SO LOVELY. By the end I was a weepy, joyful, sorrowful mess. Such a beautiful way to think about ...more | |

| Such a warm, intimate voice. Do I understand a single thing about Australian footy? I do not! But I do understand aging, and worrying about being a burden, and marveling at feats of athleticism, and enjoying the pure suspense and physicality of sport ...more | |

| So, so, so funny. One-liner upon one-liner, the kind of book where you're grabbing people and sentences and going "OMG LISTEN TO THIS." Also sprawling and harrowing and not so strong on NARRATIVE, and sometimes in love with its own spirals into poeti ...more | |

“I know that an author must be brave enough to chop away clinging tentacles of good taste for the sake of a great work. But this is no great work, you see.”

“The plot is so tired that even this reviewer, who in infancy was let drop by a nurse with the result that she has ever since been mystified by amateur coin tricks, was able to guess the identity of the murderer from the middle of the book.”

“To me, the raveled sleeve of care is never more painlessly knitted up than in an evening alone in a chair snug yet copious, with a good light and an easily held little volume sloppily printed and bound in inexpensive paper. I do not ask much of it - which is just as well, for that is all I get. It does not matter if I guess the killer, and if I happen to discover, along around page 208, that I have read the work before, I attribute the fact not to the less than arresting powers of the author, but to my own lazy memory. I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours. In all reverence I say Heaven bless the Whodunit, the soothing balm on the wound, the cooling hand on the brow, the opiate of the people."
