[EX Q]: The one book I was told to read and actually did...... . And wasn't it awful. Slow, nonsensical, not to mention boring.... Basically, it's about a poor guy who finds a black pearl. And then bad stuff happens. That is all the book is about. No sub-plot, no nothing. To be honest, the best bit was when the main character's baby gets shot and dies. The book (about 70 pages long, to be honest I can't remember. I don't want to remember) is really slow to start with, and stays that way until the last 10 pages where a million things happen at once. It is way too descriptive, and nothing remotely interesting happens. And then it just ends. It was really empty. I have read other "Classics" such as War of the Worlds, Animal Farm, Lord Of The Flies, etc, all of which had more substance and staying power than this.
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: Sham not shaman . After reading the book Medicine Woman and the San Francisco Review of Books on the back which says this is an Autobiographical I have to question a few things. I come from Manitoba and have lived there over 50 years. I've never heard of a Crowley and the Cree First Nations in Manitoba that I was raised with would not be seeing a Kokopelli or a Kachina. It's not part of their culture. The last and final huge mistake is the fact that most of this story could not have taken place outside without huge huge bottles of mosquitoe repellant as anyone who lives in the bush in Manitoba knows especially those who may have a reason to go naked in the woods. Perhaps Lynn shouldn't be peddling her strange brand of spiritualism as true when it's not. There are enough charlatans in the world without one stealing someone's culture and calling it her own for the sake of the almight dollar. Carol
[EX A]: NEG

[EX Q]: The Final chapter...or is it? . This is a book you expected Massie to write.....since Nicholas & Alexandra was written in (I think) 1969, an update since 1991 was critical. It gives you an idea what was being discovered in DNA research and proving the bones found were who they were. Its a book a Romanov observer should have, or at least read to glean the information from. Worth it, for sure.
[EX A]:
POS
