Good idea didn't translate into a book . I like the idea that Michael Lewis wrote this book/article to defend a man whose coaching techniques are clearly out of style in todays world of my child this and my child that. Having said that I did not like this book: 1) the writing was chopping and hard to follow at times. i had to re-read many sentences to understand lewis' point. 2) the story lacked the depth of lewis' other wonderful books - where's the who/why/what that lewis used to moneyball (and others) educational - i wanted the story behind the story. 3) who were all the pictures of? i found them distracting... i'll continue to read lewis' books bu thope the next one is bette

Conrad's Greatest Novel . Nostromo is simultaneously a great political novel and a great psychological novel. A large part of Conrad's achievement is his fusion of these 2 elements into one seamless narrative. Nostromo describes the penetration of a Latin American country by European/North American capitalism and the ensuing revolution. All the characters in Nostromo are engaged in the intensely political acts carrying the plot forward. Conrad based his narrative on a considerable amount of research on contemporary Latin America and the articulation of the plot elements is elegantly realistic and gripping. The psychological elements concern characters' motivations for their acts. A recurrent ironic theme is that important characters are driven to act by motivations that have nothing to do with political objectives or economic gain per se. Unlike most of his other novels which offer a psychological portrait primarily of a single character, Nostromo features several characters whose motivations and actions are explored by Conrad. The focus shifts from character to character is a way that consistently advances the plot, a brilliant piece of formal construction. Finally, Nostromo features some of Conrad's best descriptive writing. Because of the complexity of the plot and characterization, Nostromo is not the easiest of Conrad's novels to read. Nostromo is ultimately well worth the effort expended

Good start to what promises to be a fun series . Wanda Nell Culpepper has got a lot on her hands: she's a single mom with three kids and one grandkid who she works 2 jobs to support. Her Mother in Law is a monster--and her ex has just shown up waving around a lot of cash. When Wanda Nell finds her ex stabbed through the throat with a pink lawn flamingo, her troubles have just begun. The deputy suspects her, dangerous folks are coming after her looking for something that the ex supposedly left with her. "Flamingo Fatale" is a good read and an interesting cosy; however, I don't think that Evans hits her stride with her first book. "Murder Over Easy" is much improved and the third in the series actually promises to be more interesting.
