So far one of the less plausible aspects of the story is that the president's science advisor is actually qualified to advise about science

I'm solidly at 2.5 stars and can't decide whether to round up or down, so I'm not even going to rate this.

Whyyyy is this denouement so loooong

It was doing so well until it went all The Story of Avis in the third act. *eyeroll*

Unpopular opinion: I don't like Tom

♫ FINALLY, IT'S HAPPENED TO ME ♫ (the end of this book)

BLEHHH. This denouement's so long it's got even Thomas Hardy shaking his head.

FINALLY!!

This is officially my last attempt to find out whether Victoria Cross ever wrote anything good.

Why not read a trashy Gothic novel?

Nnnnnope. Life is too short for this nonsense. Putting it down.

FINALLY! An antidote to Ann Veronica!

I am *loving* this so far but terrified that it's ultimately going to go all Ann Veronica on me!!

Nope. Putting it down. Curiosity can kill the cat some other time.

I'm 99% sure there's a dead dove in this bag, but I'm going to look inside anyway.

Nope. DNF. Life's too short to listen to a character important enough to come up SCORES of times be called by her dead husband's whole name *and* nickname but never by her own. Reading abt a guy getting flayed alive in World W/o End was easier to take. And for anyone about to accuse me of modernism, even the books I've read that were *written* & not just set in the 19-teens were less obnoxious abt this kind of thing.

4.5!!

Was Lyov Tolstoy a better writer than Sofya Tolstaya? Sure, but she was WAY MORE HONEST.

Not that it should surprise me that someone who married someone nearly 40 years his junior portrays a 34-year-old woman as a wizened old crone. More fool me for looking into this bag marked Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.

Another one I want to Eternal Sunshine out my brain
