Agree that more backstory would've been good, not quite clear about relationships of reporter and Will in the story, needed clarification definitely! Liked it overall however.

Liked the audiobk, reader not so much.
Yelled in oddest places, like announcer making a point, had to keep turning volume down, very distracting!

Very good, covers an important topic: trafficking of girls!

Talked too fast to follow so didn't listen long.
Interesting reason for getting into the "kitchen game" in the first place (didn't like/understand it), told me something about him however.

Bleak good word for this book, dark, hard to believe what people give their lives to "achieve", collecting, even if it's rare things you're collecting - who's going to get them when your time of earth is finished? Dialogue frustrating at times as if by a psychopath or author couldn't think of how to write it in a meaningful way that is; skimmed the last hundred or so pages to see if it got any better (it didn't) won't be reading anymore of his books.Bleak good word for this book, dark, hard to believe what people give their lives to "achieve", collecting, even if it's rare things you're collecting - who's going to get them when your time of earth is finished?

Didn't get passed first two "F" words, why I didn't read it before I think; hate the "F" word, don't know why I'm supposed to like/care about a character that uses it.

Might be outstanding writer albeit "F" word sprinkled liberally throughout beginning disc, not to mention other harsh words besides so as to offend delicate sensibilities so didn't and wouldn't recommend bothering.

Reading it now as I own a set; use of English language, descriptions, insights into human character - inspiration for those of us who write. You can never go wrong with a Mark Twain book - published by Samuel Clemens himself as a matter of fact.

This is how you lose me!
Start out with how you "cheated," add the "F" word (first couple of minutes) and I'm lost!

Worth reading, though not sure what/who he means when talking about "higher" loyalty.
Wanted to tell him; it's okay to believe in God as a "higher" loyalty to whom you'll be held accountable.

Not most gripping of his works, enjoyed for the most part. Obligatory sex scene - birth control not mentioned at all, interesting, interesting too that main woman character consents to "romp" every now and then but does not want more - never met a woman like that, how believable is this woman one wonders.Not most gripping of his works, enjoyed for the most part.

Like previous comment, read due to (high rating) of Washington Post, did not like it, find it readable, wouldn't recommend. Didn't like characters or believable I thought, main character particularly grating, unrelenting references to drinking, pubs, language (of characters) made them hard and jaded. Slog to get through, almost gave up on it.Like previous comment, read due to (high rating) of Washington Post, did not like it, find it readable, wouldn't recommend.

The Orthodox, Catholics, and Muslims should get together b/c they have the same religion: be "good" enough and maybe God will love you. Not to mention Orthodox as re this author anyway, view Messiah as one who will institute yet more rules to live by instead of freeing you from "rules" under which you're laboring now, or does anybody else have a different read on this? Males a bit passive I thought, except rabbis.The Orthodox, Catholics, and Muslims should get together b/c they have the same religion: be "good" enough and maybe God will love you.

Choose your adviser, choose your advice.
Mia comforting Lexie..." it'll be okay,"( when "it's" never "ok" really), gets you thro for now.
Underlying philosophy seems to be: no one's "mature" in all this, men more or less absent in the story, minor characters if you ask me.Choose your adviser, choose your advice.

Definitely worth reading! Reads like a novel almost, holds your interest like nothing I've read in that it's about real people in real time "trying" to run a government they know nothing about! Glad I didn't vote (for either candidate) in this election, (threw away my vote in other words) b/c you may have to live with "it", don't have to VOTE for it!Definitely worth reading!
