Question: NYT "Top 50" list . This book is phenomenally crafted, written with heart and sincerity.   I cannot recommend it strongly enough.  I learned about it through the recent New York Times "top fifty" recommended list, which included several authors I'd never heard of.   Frankly I was concerned that the list would have a couple of weak entries as happens.  "Independence Day" reaffirms my faith in reviews, polls, awards (Pulizer) and I'm glad to know that this is just the second installment of an iconic series.    To say the language "Independence Day" is poetic is an understatement.  Ford exercises control over both the vernacular and the estoric (on average I didn't know a word every five pages, but that's a good thing - the language is rich and sincere as is the engrossing narrative).  The word "Angstrom" appears in the book, perhaps a footnote to Updike, who knows?    Frank's sale to the Markhams is one of those protracted dramas, no, comedies, that weaves through like a Wagner liefmotif.   Wait, that simile strikes the wrong key, because the Markhams, as you get to know them, and you will, in richly parenthetical passages, represent everything you the reader and Frank dislike about pure unadulterated dumbasses.    Ok, I can go on and on about this book, it's subtleties, it's heartwrenching passages about love and divorce, but no, go read it

Answer: POS


Question: No, don't use this.  Really. . I like Eyewitness Guides a lot, particularly for their glossy graphics combined with comprehensive information, but this really doesn't make the cut.  How is it possible to cram Scotland into 224 pages? Well, it is not.  Besides having very poor coverage on Glasgow and particularly Edinburgh, it also has - well, more poor coverage.  Maps for the bigger islands in Northern Scotland are sorely lacking.  More effort has really got to be invested in making this guide before it is worth your money.  I know DK can make some really great guides, so it saddens me that they are now churning out trash like this

Answer: NEG


Question: Tongue Tied . Deaver's skill at weaving a crafty and intriguing suspense story is sound.  He has the bare bones of the work down to a science, and when it comes to most of his tales, the bones themselves are strong, hearty, and glistening white.    In this case, however, those bones have virtually no muscle.    This tale is about Tate Collier, his ex, Bett, and their kidnapped child, Megan.  The villian for this tale, a slick-tongued psychiatrist named Aaron Matthews, is a man of such skill that he can talk virtually anyone into anything, a talent that rivals that of our protagonist, Tate, a lawyer who once wielded the same verbal weapons in the courtroom.    As I said, the story itself has some intriguing twists and turns, as all suspense tales should, and it offers up satisfying obstacles and the usual mysteries, but they fall flat for a number of reasons.    1.  When the crux of your tale lies on creating characters of uncanny persuasive abilities, the heart of your novel must lie within the dialogue those characters utilize.  In this case, neither Matthews or Collier ever speak convincingly enough, in my opinion, to warrant their being labelled as men who "speak in tongues."  And although a lot of interpretation must be allowed for the written medium, it still doesn't seem like Matthews' talent for conniving others is as plausible as the novel would like it to be.    2.  The book falls prey to a pretty major pitfall for literature of this type, and that is over-elaborate explanations for key motives and behavoirs.  We even get treated to a cliched moment of having the bad guy reveal his whole plot to the good guys before actually going through with the plot.    3.  Implausibility.  There are some areas of the book that are downright laughable, aside from the already mentioned superhuman talent at persuasiveness some of the characters possess.    4.  My biggest pet peeve: Deaver cannot write dialogue for teenagers.  In an attempt at creating authenticity, Deaver peppers their dialogue with an abundance of "like"s and "way lame"s so that they sound like rejects from some B-grade rip-off of a Dazed and Confused remake.  I understand that kids still occasionally talk like this, but Deaver's use of these trite bits of characterization is so liberal it becomes intrusive and annoying and ludicrous.    If you want to try Deaver, check out The Devil's Teardrop or the Bone Collector.  This is not worth the effort
