Ross (3284 KP) rated Graceland by Paul Simon in Music

Rolling Stone's 71st greatest album of all time
Paul Simon's "discovery" of South African musical styles and using them to restart his flagging career after splitting up with Garfunkel and reducing sales on his solo albums. Musically more interesting than his other efforts, I would still rather listen to the artists that inspired it. I find Paul Simon to be quite weaselly and I can't get past that. The album was unarguably ground-breaking for its time (except a white man using music of black origin for his own gain, that was nothing new) and I would hope opened doors for world music artists.

I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this book since the second one came out last August. I love this series! The tension starts at the very beginning and follows through the entire book, to the last page. I love the characters (Charlie is my hero) and I was furious about what happened at the end (in a good way. I have to read the next book now!).

I will say I wished I'd read the other two again before reading this one. I didn't forget too much, but there were a few little things were I was thinking "Okay I remember something about that, but no details." I would certainly recommend reading them closer together than one year.

If you liked the first two Charlie Madigan books, you'll love this one. Lots of loose ends were tied up, doors were opened, and secrets were revealed. I loved it!

Content/Recommendation: Some language, no sex. Ages 17+

Dangerous to Know (Lillian Frost & Edith Head #2)

Book Rating
In December 1938, an FBI investigation into the smuggling activities of Albert Chaperau has reached the doors of Paramount, where Edith Head is the head of costumes. Since Lillian Frost was at the dinner party where Albert was exposed, she finds herself involved in attempts to head off the investigation. Meanwhile, Lillian is also looking into the disappearance of Jens Lahse. No one has seen him for a week. Where could he have gone?

This book plunges us into the world of old Hollywood, and doesn’t let us out. Real and fictional blend seamlessly on the page, all of them coming to wonderful life. The book takes time to lay the foundation of both stories and introduce the characters, but once that happens, it is off and running and hard to put down. Add in a touch of Christmas, and you have a very charming book.
