Human Traces (Vintage International)
Sebastian Faulks
Vintage
, 2008
Well researched historical fiction
Although this is not an "easy" read, it is quite fascinating. The integration of the history of psychology with the story line of two fictional pioneers in the field was extremely well done. I have a degree in psychology, yet found myself learning many new things ...

Haunting
I found that this book wouldn't let go. I found it hard to pick up another book as this one simply haunted me. His characters, and the era he evoked, became impossible to shake off. Magnificent.
Devil May Care
Sebastian Faulks
Doubleday
, 2008
Bond...Stirred Not Shaken
Devil May Care was a good read all things considered. It could never be confused with a "real" Ian Fleming book, but I enjoyed it. I say "stirred not shaken" because Faulks tries to stick to Fleming's style, but falls short (there's an absurd tennis match for example). ...

The scenes with Stephen are extremely well written. Increadibly intense account of personal suffering of soldiers in World War I. Tender, realistic love story. This is first-class writing. Unfortunately, later scenes with granddaughter Elizabeth are very weak. But ...
The Girl at the Lion d'Or

Beautifully written and thought provoking.
This story opens with a prologue about three newspaper stories. Two of the stories deal with the demise of two political figures. The third story, very brief, almost lost on the page, deals with an unknown female intruder in the grounds of the prime minister's ...

Lost youth
This is a difficult review to write without giving too much away. The book begins as a coming-of-age memoir, morphs into a mystery, turns into something else before the mystery is solved, and continues even after that. Very likely, the facts will not come as a surprise ...
