Q: 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

A: POS
****
Q: Count me in the minority . Unlike most reviewers here, I really disliked this book.  The main reason is that the entire novel is a gimmick without any real substance.  There is no reason to tell such a dull story except for the fact that there is some mysterious story-within-a-story complexity.    The characters, especially the protagonist Iris, are bores.  Iris is like a 300 page wet blanket.  Most of the other characters are 1-dimensional cut outs.  Her sister Laura is the exception, but she got on my nerves too with her one-note quirkiness.    The story-within-a-story is more a gimmick than anything else.  The science-fiction meta-story within that story I thought was the most interesting part of the book, but it goes nowhere and its purpose is even more tenuous than its parent.    Finally, this is my second Atwood book, and I really dislike her writing style.  It reads as if she is trying too hard, and even the simplest situations feel forced.    I don't understand why everyone seems to like this book, but I would just suggest not to believe all the hype.

A: NEG
****
Q: Self Indulgent, muddled, boring . First part was "sorta" interesting.  Rest of book skimmed through - VERY BORING.  Could have been a great read but certainly missed the mark by a mile.  Should have been a magazine article at best

A:
NEG
