Yes, I've read all of Dan Brown's books (including this one)

No, I've never really got the love for them all.

The latest of his novels to receive a film tie-in, with Tom Hanks reprising his role as Harvard symbologist Professor Robert Langdon, this time in a race against time to decipher the clues that will lead him to the source of a biological weapon that is set to explode and release a deadly plague into the world.

"One of my all-time favorite novels is The Paris Wife. I am fascinated by Ernest Hemingway’s storytelling, so I loved reading about his own story and getting to know the heart of his incredibly strong and complicated muse, Hadley. I found myself transported back to the Jazz Age in Paris, one of the most romantic time periods, and totally mesmerized by the love, dependency and devotion that these two iconic characters had for each other.

Book Favorite

"The plot of the novel is woven invisibly under you, and pulled out just as you are settling in. It is one of the best novels about a young woman that I’ve ever read. These moments of transformation and epiphany go by unnoticed by the outside world, but we have the privilege of being in Portia’s mind with her as she’s trying to figure out exactly how the world is put together and why people do what they do."

"If you haven’t read Trollope, this is a good place to begin. Along with Can You Forgive Her?, The Eustace Diamonds is among the most delicious and contemporary of Trollope’s Palliser novels, and like any great classic, it’s crammed to bursting with characters who are remarkably like people you know. Well, maybe you don’t know anyone like Lizzie Eustace—a young woman who cares more about money and jewels than anything else—but I’m afraid I do."

When it comes to "coming of age" novels, the first one that comes to mind is always <i>Catcher in the Rye</i>. But that was written in the 1950s and one wonders if it isn't a bit out of touch with the times. Then along came Alex Woods, who could very well be the Holden Caulfield of the 21st Century. Read why in my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/07/29/a-21st-century-holden-caulfield/
