Amazon.com: Books: The Heiress Bride (Bride Trilogy (Paperback)) (#)
„I love Sinjun and I really liked Colin as characters.Colin's children and his sister-in-law were good characters too.But somehow from CC's outline of the book to the fully written thing it just fell apart. As a whole,the book has all the makings of a funny and charming novel but there are so many holes in it when you break it down.First-I think CC might have some sort of prediliction for forced sex because not only was it forced,but it was forced three times in a row.it's like most of her male characters know how to control themselves with mistresses but with wives they can't. Second-the ghost thing was a little unneccesary but it was thrown in because of the Sherbrooke ghost thing in the previous books.I enjoyed the novel but I only see myself reading it once.“

Amazon.com: Books: Ethics (Everyman Paperback Classics)
„Based on the above conjecture, Spinoza's *Ethics* is not really a treatise on the right way to live; but then I, and many others, would agree with Wittgenstein here and seldom elsewhere. But perhaps it is the Jamesians who should go home, because in my opinion the *Ethics* is the finest work of *psychology* ever written, a hypothetico-deductive study of actions and passions finely enough wrought by the lens-grinder of... to support later political works an order of magnitude more complex than "classicism". And although such sentiments may be better put elsewhere, the world of psychology and the cognitive sciences is continually reinventing "dual-aspect monism" as a framework for both naturalistically and rigorously comprehending the human mind -- while giving Spinoza dubious, that is sole and half-hearted, recognition for a conceptual framework which has animated psychological theory for centuries.“

Amazon.com: Books: Black Coffee: A Hercule Poirot Novel (Hercule Poirot Mysteries (Paperback))
„She often would adapt her novels into plays herself, and occassionaly, vice-versa. She did not choose to 'novelize' Black Coffee - because it belongs in the theatre. (same is true of Unexpected Guest and Spider's Web) Now, we have dreary, hackish "novel' versions of these, of which Christie would doubtless disapprove, written with NO sense of the stage (ie the dialogue is NOT the most important element), a tin ear, and, worse, idiotic 'improvements'. Its sad that people can ransack a dead author's work.“

Amazon.com: Books: Murder in the Bastille (Aimee Leduc Investigation (Paperback))
„The plot of "Bastille" is smooth and the considerable action connects readily. As always, Paris itself is a character, and the dark dreams and gritty contemporary reality of the city are as rich and delicious as an espress on a rainy day. Escape to Paris as easily as opening the cover.“
