About the Manor.......2007-05-11
Kate Kingsbury's books are a delight to read. They held my interest all the way through. I believe a key for their success as far as I'm concerned is that the author has passion which comes through in her books.
Reprinted from the Nov 2006 "The Historical Novels Review".......2006-11-25
This delightful cozy mystery, set in World War II rural England, is the latest in the author's Manor House series. Elizabeth Compton, lady of the village manor house, has a heavy burden of responsibility. Not only does she have the duty of running the great house under trying wartime conditions, but the residents of Sitting Marsh depend on her for everything from a cheerful visit to solving crimes. If that wasn't enough, her elderly butler goes missing, her American pilot friend is on a dangerous mission, and there's that thief that makes off with women's knickers from the village's clotheslines. Soon, a body is discovered....
This is great entertainment: charming, at times amusing, but with a dose of reality that is just enough to emotionally involve the reader. It also stands as a marvelous look into the lives of ordinary English villagers, thrust into a new reality by the intrusion of the war. However, lest one grow too nostalgic for those days, the author reprints the actual wartime recipe for Lord Woolton Pie, a most abominable concoction even by the standards of English cuisine.
Highly recommended for all mystery lovers.
Sad this is the last in the series..........2006-11-03
I always look forward to a new Manor House mystery and was so sorry to hear (via the other reviews) that this would be the last in the series. I finished the book last night and was very disappointed with the ending -- the series did not have a resolution. I did read the author's website today and found out she didn't know it would not be the last in the series until after this book went to print. She said she would have definitely changed the book had she known. She also lets you know what happens to all the characters.
Last Book in Series is Disappointing.......2006-08-28
Lady Elizabeth Hartleigh Compton has her hands full watching over the residents of Sitting Marsh, England, during World War II. She is worried about American Major Earl Monroe who, as a pilot, is fighting the war in the air. Elizabeth has other problems - her elderly butler, Martin, keeps disappearing for hours at a time and someone is stealing ladies knickers from clotheslines all over the village. Elizabeth soon has a bigger problem; a dead body is found when a munitions factory is torn down. Although the police and his widow insist that Clyde Morgan committed suicide, Elizabeth is convinced it was murder and decides to investigate. Little does she realize that someone will do anything to prevent Elizabeth from finding out the truth.
Although I've enjoyed the entire Manor House mystery series, I found "An Unmentionable Murder", the last book in the series, to be a bit of a disappointment. The mystery itself was fine, with a poignant twist at the end. But the book felt rushed, as Kate Kingsbury tried to tie everything up neatly at the end. The last chapter especially felt rushed, I would have liked a few more pages wrapping things up. The subplot about Martin's disappearance was somewhat amusing, if unbelievable. The explanation of who was stealing the knickers was also a bit disappointing. And Kingsbury failed to even mention the "three musketeers", a serious oversight since she had built up that particular mystery over the course of several books.
Fans of this series will want to read "An Unmentionable Murder" if only to find out what happens to Elizabeth and Earl at the end, but it's not one of the better books in the series.
Disappointing Ending for Manorhouse Series.......2006-08-17
I loved every one of the Manorhouse Series books and was sad to learn this wonderful series was ending. I had high hopes for the last book, but was sorely disappointed with the unbelievable ending. Some of the characters' endings are tied up too neatly to the point of not being believable, while other characters' fates are left hanging as the war is still going on. I was also disappointed that one of the characters was not reunited with a long-lost love as I thought she would be. This series ends with a whimper rather than a bang. :(
Book Description
Richard Greenberg is the winner of the Newsday's George Oppenheimer Award for Best New American Playwright, the Molly Kazan Playwriting Award, the Pen/Laura Pels Award, and his play Three Days of Rain was a finalist for the Pulitzer prize. He has been called "a major new playwright" who has "mastered the art of telling a simple story with such grace and skill that it becomes startlingly new" (Fintan O'Toole, New York Daily News). Greenberg's plays have developed a reputation for being "intelligent, whimsical, always powerful pieces of theatre that are profound without being pretentious and that speak about the very basic longing of human beings" (Amy Schaumberg, Drama-Logue). Collected in this volume are Greenberg's most important plays, including his latest, Hurrah at Last, which Laurie Winer in the Los Angeles Times called "funny, acerbic and delightfully straightforward about falsehoods and bargains of intimacy."

Three Days of Rain Makes a Dreary Read.......2007-01-12
I bought Three Days of Rain after having seen a professional staging of the play in which I left unsatisfied, partly because, while it was brilliantly acted, I couldn't catch all the dialogue and blamed myself for not being impressed by the play. But after reading it, missing much of the dialogue seems like a benefit.

The Greenburg Collection.......2006-03-22
Richard Greenburg transports you in the middle of interesting and complicated adventures with his casts. I love reading his plays because his characters have fascinating relationships with each other. The author's voice is very funny!
I highly recommend reading his works.
Three Days of Rain.......2006-02-17
A very well written play - interesting to look at the present and past and how it affects who we are. I can't wait to see how this translate to the Broadway stage. How Julia Roberts plays her part.
A great new writer.......2002-05-21
Wouldn't you have liked to go to the theatre to see the crucible without knowing that it was a classic. Watching three days of rain was the first time I went to the theatre unaware of anything about the play and then realising that I was watching one of the greatest plays ever written unfurl around me. The play is at times witty or sad or profound, but it is always real and Greenberg shows the links between the past and the future and the impossibility of knowing or understanding the forces that drove your parents. We get a picture of the parents and it is shaken apart in the second half. Three days of rain is a truely great piece of theatre.
Rich kids have Angst too.......2001-03-15
This is a very well written play. The problems were not dramatic enough though. I mean, breaking up a famous Father's estate, finding out Mr. Soap Star/family friend slept with your sister, having to choose between two talented architects, are not big problems that a drama like this demands.
Yet the family history is mesmerizing.

O'Connor's 1956 account of big-city politics, inspired by the career of longtime Boston Mayor James M. Curley, portrays its Irish-American political boss as a demagogue and a rogue who nonetheless deeply understands his constituents. The book was later made into a John Ford film staring Spencer Tracy.
Customer Reviews:
Classic of Irish urban politics.......2006-06-05
Edwin O'Connor's description of the last mayoral campaign of a life-long Irish politician, inspired by the carreer of Boston mayor James Curley is a wry, funny, and ultimately gracious nod to urban machine politics that gave the Irish political power if not respectability.
It is easy 50 years later to dismiss this clutch of politicos as corrupt, but O'Connor shows them to be men of "their people" using public office to democratize the American dream, to use the soft capital of power to give common men a chance to make decent livings when the hard and harsh money men wanted them kept in their places - subordinate, poorly paid, and quiescent.
But O'Connor doesn't write a screed against entrenched capital versus the poor immigrant. He instead writes affectionately of the many little touches of human decency that the "big" man shows toward his otherwise powerless supporters, primarily, but not exclusively Irish.
Frank Skeffington's last run for office ends with a surprise. That the reader is unprepared for it is not a defect in O'Connor's sociological awareness, political savvy, or writing ability. It is, simply, a poignant ending to an era that the old warrior couldn't see coming.
This is a rich, warm, funny book that ought to be in print today because it is a wonderfully written ray of light on the world of my father and grandfather.
For those not politically inclined...Read it anyway.......2002-04-13
I didn't want to read this book. But sometimes, just sometimes, professors sneak a novel past you, one you're positive is just going to make for a horrendous reading experience, but then turns out to be quite a pleasant surprise. In all honesty, *The Last Hurrah* was one of the best books I was "forced" to read in college.
It would seem as though in order to read this novel you would have to have some kind of interest in the political world, that you would need a grand knowledge of it to even keep up. Not true. Edwin O'Connor portrays Boston politics in a very appealing and human way. You notice the characters first--and then you see what they do to maneuver the city to their liking.
Rich in atmosphere and driven by wonderful character interaction, *The Last Hurrah* is a novel to be appreciated and enjoyed.
My new favorite book..........2002-02-16
Edwin O'Connor's masterpiece on the demise of the complex and facinating world of old-school Boston politics is simply my favorite book. O'Connor painted a more vivid, compelling picture of this peculiar phenomenon through fiction than any political biography or history could ever hope to.
Skeffington is one of the most interesting, amicable characters I have ever encountered in any book of any genre. Quick-witted, funny, and heroic, he is the epitome of the old-fashioned politician. O'Connor's work truly makes me yearn for the past - when, although far from perfect, politicians had something they will NEVER have again: charisma.
O'Connor's foreshadowing of what local (as well as state and national) politics would become has proven amazingly correct - know-it-all, made-for-TV blank slates that are as charismatic as the processed, artificial backgrounds they are manufactured from.
A great work of fiction, biography, history, and the American experience. A masterpiece.
American classic.......2000-11-18
I find it hard to be impartial about this book, which is one of my favorites, and is the basis for the great John Ford/Spencer Tracy film of the same name. The main criticism of the novel appears to be that O'Connor was too benevolent in his portrayal of a big city political boss and of machine politics generally. But I think that this complaint really misses the central insight of the story. Whatever Frank Skeffington's faults may be--and it is at least implied that he is financially corrupt and is readily apparent that he has become morally corrupt in the pursuit of power--he is also undeniably an interesting and compelling personality. As the Monsignor says at his funeral :
The bigger the man is in public life, the bigger the praise or the blame--and we have to remember that Frank Skeffington was quite a big man.
What Edwin O'Connor discerned was that the modern, clean-cut, college-educated, television-age, politicians would be equally corrupt, but would be little men. Like news anchormen, they would look well-polished and nicely groomed, but they would be empty suits. Marketed like household products, they would be chosen specifically because they were so colorless, so unlikely to put off the voter/consumer. And so we are left with the worst of both worlds : the politicians are still power hungry crooks, but now they have no entertainment value to redeem them.
Skeffington's ultimate legacy is bookended between two other sentiments expressed after his death. Nathaniel Gardiner, the old line WASP who sparred with but respected the Mayor, thinks to himself : "If only he had not been such a rogue..." but then realizes that had he been less a rogue, he would have been less of a figure. But perhaps the final assessment belongs to the Cardinal who had battled him for so long :
Whether you realize it or not now, you will later on. This man cheapened us forever at a time when we could have gained stature. I can never forgive him for that.
O'Connor, though he makes Skeffington an immensely entertaining and likable character, can hardly be accused of whitewashing the true nature of such men. To say that someone "cheapened us" is, or used to be, a pretty serious indictment.
GRADE : A
The greatest book ever written about Boston Politics.......2000-08-02
There was a day when politics was about quick witted men speaking directly to the constituency. This is a book about the end of those days in Boston. Skeffington, the mayor of Boston (a thinly veiled James Michael Curley) is running for one last term as mayor. This is the tale of that race and of Skeffington's life in politics.
What makes this book particularly precious is the, still accurate, portrayal of the hatred between the Irish and the Old Yankees in Boston. Skeffington, an Irishman, has adroitly played the political game for years. This book tells of how the Irish came to power in Boston. More important it tells how at the end, politics became less about speaking clearly and shaking hands firmly and more about money and television.
To me, Skeffington is the king of the political characters. He has humor and sensitivity. Would that there were anyone left with the entertaining humor he brought to the world of politics.
A most entertaining read.

Book Description
Originally published as Embrace an Angry Wind
Following the fall of Atlanta, rebel commander John Bell Hood rallied his demoralized troops and marched them off the Tennessee, desperately hoping to draw Sherman after him and forestall the Confederacy's defeat. But Sherman refused to be lured and began his infamous "March to the Sea," while Hood charged headlong into catastrophe.
In this compelling dramatic account of a final and fatal invasion by the Confederate Army of Tennessee, Wile Sword illuminates the missed opportunities, senseless bloody assaults, poor command decisions, and stubborn pride that resulted in 23,500 Confederate losses--including 7,00 casualties in one battle-- and the pulverization of the South's second largest army.
Sword follows Hood and his army as they let an early advantage and possible victory slip away at Spring Hill, then engage in a reckless and ill-fated frontal attack on Franklin, often called the "Gettysburg of the West." Despite that disaster, Hood refuses to yield and presses on the Nashville and a two-day bloodbath that unhinges what is left of his battered troops--the worst defeat suffered by any army during the war.
Telling the story from both the Confederate and the Union perspectives, Sword pursues personalities as well as battles and troop strategy. He portrays Hood as a gutsy yet irresponsible leader--"a fool with a license to kill his own men"--whose valiant but rapidly dwindling troops were no match for the methodical General George G. Thomas and his better prepared--and entrenched--Union army. Hood, however, was not entirely to blame for Confederate failures, says Sword, who shows how decision making and actions--both good and bad, logical and chaotic--by key players on both sides helped determine the battles' outcomes.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

Outstanding read..........2007-08-04
I am a young civil war enthusist and have never really studied the end of the Confederate Army of the Tennessee. This book opens the door into one of the saddest few months of any army during the Civil War. Very in depth and throughly reserched. Spends ample time on the decisive Battle of Franklin and incorprates not only the eyewitness accounts from officers, but the privates in the thick of the fight. Recommened for any Civil War enthusist.
Fascinating and readable account of disaster in the .......2007-05-27
Some people who have read this book with a jaundiced eye have criticized Sword for his accurate protrayal of John Bell Hood. Davis like the present president had favorites to whom he remained faithful despite their obvious shortcommings. As Sword points out Hood was a great general as a field commander but even before his physical injuries he was not suited to command an independent army. As radical Confederate Louis Wigfall commented, "Davis has attempted to do what God couldn't; male John Hood a general." If someone wants to understand the imprortance of the West and the disaster made by Hood, this book is required reading. It is not recommended for hero worshipers.
The Army of Tennessee Destroyed in Three Weeks!.......2007-05-01
Outstanding account of battles during Hoods "invasion" of Tennessee in late 1864. The narrative is first rate. The descriptions of the principal characters both blue and gray were extremly interesting and given due credit.
The descriptions of the tremendous blood-letting of Hood's decision to ram the Army of Tennessee up against prepared breastworks at Franklin are chilling. The destruction of a proud army was guaranteed even without their eventual defeat by Gen. George Thomas at Nashville two weeks later. The author describes thoroughly the pre-lude to Franklin as Hood lets a vast chunk of the Union Army slip through his grasp at Spring Hill. This lost opportunity sets the stage for the Army of Tennessee's destruction days later at Franklin with fruitless head on attacks. A fast and detailed read.
Living in Tennessee, I was able to walk some of the ground described in the book and picture what it might have been. The author has done a very good job of providing geographical details and descriptions. The Last Hurrah of a Lost Cause
lost opportunity.......2007-03-08
Whoever considers Davis, Bragg, and Hood inept and ego-driven will be supported by this book. Hood's step by step movements leading to Franklin, (and their consequences) are well researched. The challenges facing the Union defenders of Nashville are presented better than I have ever seen elsewhere.
Refocus On The South's Heroes........2006-05-28
After the Civil War fiasco, Jefferson Davis encouraged the South to "bury its dead, its hopes and its aspirations," but the South will never surrender. He declared that the past is dead. His first wife was Sarah Knox Taylor, daughter of U. S. President Zachary Taylor. Davis was a congressman, senator, secretary of war, and President of the Confederacy. His horse's name was Thunder.
In 1858, Horace Greely called Jefferson Davis "unquestionably the foremost man in the South today" and a great president. He was educated at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. "His occasional unintentional arrogance came
from his sense of great commanding power.
One of his generals during the war, declared the best by Robert E. Lee, was besmirked in 2005 by two college professors thusly:
This book was written in association with Texas Christian University for the American Crisis Series, Books on Civil War Era. Previously, I reviewed ON THE BRINK OF CIVIL WAR by John C. Waugh. This one, however, is what the title says all 'myth' written by two journalism professors at the University of
Tennessee. I guess they were assigned this personage, the greatest Civil War General, according to Robert E. Lee, because they work in Tennessee. Neither are from the state of Tennessee and know nothing, no facts about this great soldier of the Civil War.
They know nothing about history per se, so I am just wondering why the history department at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville would not have been a better selection to write about one of our native heroes. These frauds call their subject 'white trash' because the klan wore white sheets in his reincarnation of the group(now they wear purple, green and white outfits) used to protect everybody from the carpet baggers after the Civil War. These men are not from Tennessee, and should never have been chosen to write this book.
It is biased and slanted and exactly a 'myth' a fairy tale of the worse sort. Forrest was from a good background and family (father was a locksmith/doctor)and born in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, in Bedford County. These men thought he was born in Memphis as they dwell on something which happened which was
infamous instead of famous. Those of us at the public meeting where they talked had not heard of that specific incident, and we are native Tennesseans. His life was not a 'morality tale,' as they claim, nor was he a comic book figure. He was a real live hero, not something made up in the comics. They even equate
him with Forrest Gump, how dumb can a person be? They are blasphamous in their assertions that he was less than they.
Anyone can get a PhD and still not be competent. I have three PhDs in my family, and they have no common sense. Neither do these writers. Don't believe anything you read in this book. It is all made up, that's what journalism is these days, manufactured lies. These teachers are in the journalism department at U-T, not the history area, so they never should have taken on this endeavor.
They make N. B. Forrest out to be a dumb, silly "white trash" from Tennessee when they know better. It is just to sully his reputation as a great general.
They don't know how to present facts or truth. They did not research this book adequately, so just read it as fiction.
Jefferson Davis was born into a patriotic American family at Fairview, Kentucky. He would have drawn his sword if he could have been around to read thisgarbage about one of his best generals and a great American in his own
right.
Book Description
For the St. Louis Cardinals and their fans, there was a great deal of uncertainty going into the 1985 season. Only three years before, the Cards had won the World Series, but were predicted to finish last in the National League East Division by every major publication. Manager Whitey Herzog was expected to rebuild his team, drug abuse had cast a lingering shadow over the game, and a players' strike threatened to halt play.
The situation looked bleak for St. Louis but the season turned out to be nothing like the predictions. The Cards found themselves in a battle for the pennant. From beginning to end, that magical season is chronicled here. The book recaps the 1982 championship season and provides background information on Whitey Herzog and Gussie Busch's building of the early 1980s Cards, Busch Stadium and its characteristics particular to base running, and players of the era, including Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee and pitchers Bob Forsch and Joaquin Andujar. It then goes in-depth to discuss the Card's 1985 spring training and season and the World Series.
Customer Reviews:
good book for Cards fans.......2003-01-16
Since I am not really old enough to remember the '85 season this book provides provides an opportunity to learn more about that year. It is a fascinating read for any baseball fan, but especially Cards fans.

Book Description
After nearly twenty years of a "less is more" approach to antitrust, the Department of Justice under the Clinton administration took action against several major corporations that rely on financial, transportation, and electronic networks to support their business—Visa/MasterCard, American Airlines, and Microsoft.
In High Stakes Antitrust, noted scholars with divergent opinions examine the impact and validity of the Justice Department's actions. Some believe that it was well within the law to pursue these companies, while others argue that the administration exceeded its authority. They all agree, however, that the impact of the Clinton administration's antitrust policies will be felt for quite some time.

Book Description
Hard-working, peaceful Northfield, Minnesota, was an orderly yet busy mill-town in the heart of prosperous farm country. On a serene autumn Tuesday in 1876, local shop-keepers, farmers, and citizenry went about their normal routines, little realizing that the infamous and deadly James-Younger gang had designs on tiny Northfield's bank. During a wild gun battle that raged between the outlaws and the bankmen up and down the town's main street, two unarmed townsfolk were murdered. Northfield's angry populace fought back. The townspeople killed two members of the James-Younger gang and wounded several more.
In Last Hurrah of the James-Younger Gang, Robert Barr Smith debunks the James-Younger "Robin Hood" image and shows that the real heroes of the Northfield raid were the ordinary people - the bankers who protected their depositors at their own risk, the townspeople who pitched in to chase the gang from town, and the posse members who pursued and triumphed over the retreating remnants of the gang.

Good guys 1 -- Outlaws 0.......2002-08-02
Although a title like "The Last Hurrah of the James-Younger Gang" is good from a marketing standpoint because of the "celebrity" status of Jesse James and Cole Younger, it unfortunately does not recognize the real heroes of Robert Barr Smith's book: the ordinary citizens of a small Midwestern town who in 1876 repelled an invasion by a criminal gang. Smith makes no secret of his sympathies (which I share) when he describes the outlaws as being "no more than orinary criminals, bullies who stole the fruits of other's labors because it beat working and did a good deal to inflate their twisted egos." In other words, don't buy this book if you expect to read praise of Jesse James!
Smith's research into the Northfield, Minnesota, raid is broad, but the nature of the evidence prevents him from constructing a simple narrative with all details laid out in a straightforward, no questions manner. Quick, violent events such as the Northfield gun battle inevitably leave witnesses confused and contradictions are inescapable. Moreover, the outlaws' own accounts appear more concerned with providing excuses and whitewashing their activities than relating the truth. And, finally, the stories from both sides were very often exagerrated and distorted by the newspapers and books which reported them.
Time and time again, Smith relates several different versions of some particular incident, pointing out improbabilities and sometimes identifying the most likely truth, but very often only a best guess at what really happended can be made. Nonetheless, Smith's reconstruction of events held my attention and, in the end, I celebrate with him the victory of those Minnesota farmers and shopkeepers over the hoodlums who thought they would be easy picking.
