A story of African witchcraft and murder set in modern Miami. Gruber is a brilliant writer and his ability to make the supernatural believable is impressive. I had two quibbles with this book: one of the protagonists, the anthropologist Jane Doe, got on my nerves from time to time, mostly because she was constantly miserable and always dramatic. Also, both she and homicide detective Jimmy Paz (otherwise a great character) were a little rocky in that they seemed to swing unpredictably between disbelief and conviction. I have not noted this type of rockiness in the other Gruber books I've read (The Book of Air and Shadows , and The Forgery of Venus ). At any rate, a recommended read for anyone who likes intelligent, unusual thrillers. (less)

One of those books where the author clearly lost interest in the boring protagonists(principled lawyer and plucky Irish-American FBI agent/former nun)and focused all his energy on the antagonists, Chinese heroin lords. All you ever really know about the lawyer is that he's an everyman because he drinks Budweiser and he's principled because he used to be a crusading assistant DA. The antagonists are actually pretty interesting, but the book isn't satisfying because it's difficult to really care about/sympathize with any of the characters. Also the romance is nauseating.

Most of the characters aren't at all likeable, and they don't have much fun. Normally these two points would be fatal flaws, but somehow I got past it. This book is hilarious. (less)

A memoir of growing up in Manhasset, Long Island in the 70s and 80s. Moehringer really captures the magic of a good bar, as well as the inherent dangers that lurk within its briny depths. Moehringer is particularly adept at capturing the barfly's deep and somewhat hilarious reverence. I loved the characters, the bar patter, and the author's masterful depiction pf how a place and a group of friends can sometimes transcend cut-and-dried reality. (less)

A fast-paced story about two men: the famous Sam Colt (inventor of the gun) and his older brother John, who is tried for "the crime of the century". The 19th century, that is. Both of the subjects are kind of assholes and the crime itself isn't as fascinating as I wished, but the back story is interesting, the text is well written, the author has a keen sense of humor, and the book includes lots of choice details about other 19th century crimes. I would give this three an a half stars if I could. (less)

If Michael Gruber keeps writing books like this, I'm going to have start listing him as one of my favorite authors. The main character is kind of annoying, but the writing is good, the villain is compelling, and the plot is interesting, and actually sort of thought-provoking.(less)
