It's not bad. It's thoughtful and slow, and I was genuinely interested in all the stuff dealing with the psychic and her powers, but ultimately it felt longer than it is. I'd say it's the book equivalent of a good lager. Mildly pleasing, but no differ ...more

ACH! This was lovely. From the cover and blurb, I expected a light beachy read, young girls getting up to shit in the first summer after high school, but NO. It's deep as a loch, and as serious as suicide. With, okay, lots of snark and jokes. But isn ...more

Chaon's writing is exquisite. There's a bit in the middle where the story chains backward through different character's points of view as they learn a bit of gossip that absolutely enthralled me. The ending made me terribly sad. So just a warning if ...more

Marie liked Martin Gaede's review of Gateway (Heechee Saga, #1): "Gateway is one of those science fiction novels that feels deceptively simple on the surface but grows more unsettling the deeper you go. The premise alone is brilliant: humanity discovers an abandoned alien station filled with mysterious spacecraft, " Read more of this review »

I think that Orlean is not comfortable with memoir, and it shows. There's a lot more telling than showing, none of the shine of a top-notch creative nonfiction writer. I did appreciate the enviable details of her life as a New Yorker reporter, though ...more
