"Awesome general reference for the late 1700's-early 1800's in Europe. Not just military history, which is much easier to find, but notes on the culture and norms of the time, scientific advances, and the arts. Covers Britain AND France, and does a go...more

"Reading this AGAIN, because I got fuckall out of it the first time around. I mean, not that it wasn't fascinating, but I didn't know there were companion guides. Now I have two of them, to help me understand everything Joyce is pulling in and exactly...more

nicebutnubbly said:
"Excellent dystopian mystery novel, with spectacular worldbuilding and nicely morally ambiguous characters. The subplot is ... well, it's not nice enough to be called a romance, but it is explicit and built around D/s power dynamics. I found it very c...more

"I listened to this one on a long drive, and it was totally riveting. Kept me awake, for sure! Great concept, great execution - I wish I'd realized it was the first book in a series, as it ends on a sort of cliffhanger, though it also has a complete p...more

"This owes too much to Heinlein for me to love it. And it's a bit facile - the protagonist is loved by beautiful women and respected by his peers and superior officers for no particularly apparent reason. Race is handwaved as being nothing but skin co...more

Longshot (Paperback) by Dick Francis |
my rating:

read in June, 2008
nicebutnubbly said:
"A classic, if unexceptional, Francis novel. I figured out whodunit halfway through, but it was more due to a deep familiarity with his unique narrative quirks than to any tells in the story. Enjoyable car listening, but far from his best.

nicebutnubbly said:
"Dick Francis wrote this with his son, and there's a palpable quality difference between this and his solo writing. I actively cringed and yelled, "FELIX, NO!" at the tape deck (I listened to it in the car) multiple times. At one point the p...more

"I love this series, but I really didn't like this one much. While the beginning was interesting, and the end was more so, the middle takes us to Africa and randomly deposits us into a new culture whose analog in history (if any) was not apparent to m...more
