| Less than I expected. The first half was intriguing, but the book is strong on atmospherics and kinda thin on plot. I expected a whole lot more action. The author’s style, writing much in second person, (I saw you do this, then you said that) gets ti ...more | |

| Almost like a gay Forrest Gump, our protagonist is a gay guy at Woodstock and other timely events. Great fun, especially those of us old enough to remember when these events made news. Delightful for Fel Picano to work his way into timely events, bri ...more | |

| The author executes the cat-and-mouse structure well, but this ain’t “Rosemary’s Baby.” We’re supposed to sympathize with a protagonist who cheats on his supportive partner. I was the supportive partner for a bf who cheated; don’t expect sympathy for ...more | |

| What a terrific tale. Author Ann Patchett finds depth and meaning in a seemingly innocuous setting. It’s entertaining as well as thoughtful in its exploration of siblings, step-relatives, and we all work together. It’s a special delight to have Tom H ...more | |

| With much research, author Scott Anderson delivers possibly THE most comprehensive English-language chronicles of the shah’s final days. Important for students and scholars, it might be a little too much detail for the average reader. The narrator do ...more | |

| Enormously entertaining, and less than profound. A battle of values between an American and his Liverpool acquaintance, who seems to have his nose in anyone’s groin, while he reaps scandalous amounts of money. The Audiobook narrator delivers a remark ...more | |
“In 1837, New York University erected a Gothic Revival building on the northeast corner of the parade grounds at Washington Square, constructed from stones cut by convicts at Sing Sing, the maximum-security prison located about thirty miles up the river in Ossining, New York. The indignant stonecutters of New York’s Stonecutters Guild promptly organized New York’s first mass labor demonstration in Washington Square, which continued for days. To complete its construction, NYU was forced to call in the 27th Regiment of the National Guard to clear the demonstrators from the site.”
