Book reviews will appear periodically because my fiction reading is generally limited to the subway, train, or plane. Also, none of the books that I review will have a rating less than 4 stars because if a book is particularly bad, I’m not going to finish reading it.

For example, I started reading Claire Messud’s The Emperor’s Children and stopped after 60 pages because it was too tedious. She used far too many dashes; her sentences were convoluted; the characters were inane and cliched; the story focused on too many characters; their development was weak; the plot went nowhere; and her writing was atrocious (Messud writes like a Victorian romance novelist).

The point of this mini-tirade? You won’t be disappointed by any of the books that appear on this page.
