Amusing, in a New York-ish sort of way. I wouldn't say, as one reviewer has opined, that he's brought Dorothy Parker witticism back to the New York/writing love affair, but he's certainly made a valiant effort. I'd recommend it for light beach-reading. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66403096 to: City of the Beasts (Paperback) by Isabel Allende
Blech.
Bizarre at times, with some of the more awkward prose I've read in a while. For someone who can Write, this book was a poor excuse for a novel. An indelicate cross between a polemic on the destruction of the rain forest and indigenous cultures, an overdone horror film script a la Anaconda, and a fairy tale complete with dragons - too much! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54826521 The Omnivore's Dilemma (Hardcover) by Michael Pollan

Average. It's a sequel to a novel I haven't read, so that added to the confusion a bit. Good plane/beach reading. Funny in parts, but not overwhelmingly eloquent. ]]>
