This review is from: Total Recall (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a very vivid reader with interests form detective story to politics, from history to genetics, from time travel to physics. I read a lot, on average 6-8 books a week. This is the BEST book I have read in a long while. It has so much history, human psychology, analytical and deduction skills and such a humane statement in it that you continue thinking about this book and characters long after you finish reading it. It might be a little slow in the beginning, but than it was much too fast for me at the end. Once you get to the first corpse, you cannot put the book down. Lotty Herschel's character is the best-written personage. It is such a vivid description of all the atrocities and horrors of WWII that made me cry many times during the book, all these people who were on top of the world a lost everything, and the reality of it happening again. It is such a psychological drama, and such a sweet sorrow with such an optimistic ending that you want to read about these characters over and over again. I am sorry to see some people give this book 1 star, they are just cold, hard, unsophisticated, and neglectful if they cannot see beauty of these book. Read it - you will enjoy it.

This review is from: Total Recall (Mass Market Paperback)

I plowed through this latest VI Warshawski book. It was hard concentrating on the story itself when I kept trying to figure out how Paretsky tied all the threads together in the first place. Lotty is brusque as usual, but this time she is also just plain miserable. Carl is miserable, Don is miserable, Calia is miserable - in fact everyone in this latest disaster is miserable. The only goodness comes from VI and Morrell, but it's not a "good" goodness. VI has changed. No more fighting, fuming, or chasing. The down-on-her-luck, tough as hell VI seems to have disappeared and has been replaced with this gentle soul who has found true love. BLAH! Couple this with the fact that we're treated to Paretsky's (and I guess VI's) political views on the Holocaust, slave reparations, and even the Taliban. I liked VI so much more before I found out she was a liberal!

This review is from: Total Recall (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read every VI Warshawski novel and, up until now, loved them all. This is a go-nowhere, who cares book. The tie in of the characters is so unbelievable that you have a hard time following the plot and don't really care anyway. The political views are boring and VI has totally lost all the personality I once admired. She is becoming boring and, therefore, I was bored! Does Lotty have to be miserable ALL THE TIME? There was no development of any of the characters and none of them were their usual selves. Don't read this book. It stinks!

Sara Paretsky has something in common with Dick Francis. Every one of Francis' novels is about horse racing, and something else. Read more
