Baltasar and Bluminda.......2006-08-25
This was my introduction to Saramago a few years back. Since, then, I have devoured his work from which I have gained insight, inspiration and a spirit of adventure. He is one of a very few finest writers in our world today. I returned to re-read this novel with an accomplished insight into his work. It has been an astounding experience! A novel of such breadth, imagination, and history unlike any I have read. The chapter in which an enormous stone is transported from the quarry to Mafra may be one of the most stunning I have experienced. I have never been to Portugal nor possess much knowledge of it. Jose Saramago has shown me it's glory and his. This is one of his best!
I wanted to like it much more.......2006-03-25
Noted literary critic Harold Bloom calls Jose Saramago a genius (a term he reserves for extremely few living authors) and perhaps the world's greatest living novelist. For that reason and Saramago's Nobel prize, and because Amazon's editorial review referred to this book as Saramago's best-loved story, and because of the interesting back cover blurb, I thought "Baltasar and Blimunda" would make a good entry point into what I thought would be the beginning of my enjoyment of his works. I was really looking forward to it. And the result?
Painful!
What a chore to get to the end! Never have I taken so long to read a 300-plus page novel. I haven't taken this long since I read "Absalom, Absalom!" which is much more difficult, but also far more interesting. Saramago might be smart, but much of his commentary, liberally sprinkled throughout the story via direct addresses to the reader, comes off more like sarcasm and simple smart-alecky remarks than as insight. He enjoys attacking the church and religious faith in general. Nothing wrong with that, of course. And occasionally he does it well, especially when he depicts, matter-of-factly, the insatiable sexual appetites of supposedly celibate priests and nuns. But he doesn't always serve his story well while engaging in these sarcastic attacks. They're mostly asides.
The story, the characters and the setting have wonderful potential, but instead of drama we get mild humor that occasionally puts a smile on our face but rarely makes us laugh. Saramago also treats us to lengthy descriptions of work and laundry lists of scenery, machines, processes and everyday events. I'm not looking for James Bond here, but let the characters do SOMETHING interesting. Instead we get rich details. Too rich. What we don't get nearly enough of is dialogue. Saramago doesn't let his characters speak. He thinks readers are more interested in his voice than those of the characters. And as if those weren't enough obstacles, Saramago throws words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs at us without much punctuation at all, even periods sometimes. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for this, but I'm just a reader, not a Nobel prize-winning genius!
Now, some readers will take strong exception to what I'm saying; they'll pat themselves on the back and think, "Oh, he just doesn't get it." Or "He doesn't have the patience or intellect for 'challenging' literature." Well let's just take the quotes off of the word literature for a second and call this what it is: a story. And it's not a well-told story at that. Nor is it particularly challenging. Some of the incidents are interesting, but the plot is disjointed, the motivations seem irrelevant if not unconvincing. The political and religious commentary is gratuitous and lacking in insight. The love story provides erotic tidbits without much feeling. In short, there is just a lot wrong with this story. And I've read plenty of challenging literature. A few moments at the beginning and near the end are interesting, but the heart of the story -- the love affair and the building of the cathedral -- are simply boring. And one of the major characters disappears suddenly without any emotional high point whatsoever. So pat yourselves on the back and say that my review wasn't helpful, if you must, but at least I'm being honest with myself and with you.
I'll give Saramago and magical realism another attempt, but after "Baltasar and Blimunda" and Gabriel Garcia-Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude," I'm no longer going in with great expectations.
More historical commentary than original fiction.......2005-04-12
Eloqunet depiction of 18th Century Portugal, however is lacking in the love story development.
Saramago is the world's greatest living writer.......2004-08-05
There is no question in my mind that Jose Saramago is the world's greatest living writer. After carefully reading "Baltasar and Blimunda," there is no other explanation for his absolutely beautiful and experimental writing style. Yes, it is necessary to go into this book with a warning, perhaps 2. Be aware that Saramago does not write like anyone else. He disregards chronology, a single steadfast plot, and above all, punctuation. Some sentences go on for a page-and-a-half. Pay attention to the language. I must have marked 50 pages with passages that I find which impact my life profoundly on a daily basis. Also, take your time. The last thing is to anticipate the end. The ending to this novel is the saddest, most heart-wrenching ending to a book that I have ever read in my entire lifetime, yet it is highly engaging all the way through. So pace yourself, and savor the many characters and subplots that Saramago presents you with. And make sure to read the flying scene (when it was a success) over and over again with your eyes closed. This is my favorite book of all-time. A classic for the modern age and all ages. Pulp fiction crap writers: (I.E. Nora Robers, Tom Clancy, John Grisham) take notes. You may learn a life lesson or two.
"I have flown, Father. My son, I believe you.".......2004-02-24
BALTASAR AND BLIMUNDA is a wonderful, richly detailed account of life in early 18th century Portugal. It is a time when Portugal fought the ruthless French, maintained an important colony in Brazil, and was constantly under the threat of the Holy Inquisition. The King of Portugal, Dom Joao V, desperately wants an heir to the throne. One night he promises a Franciscan friar that if he can foretell a succession to the throne then he would build a convent in Mafra. After the Queen gives birth Dom Joao V fulfills his promise by building a convent that is destined to be the greatest in Portugal. Meanwhile, after losing his hand on the battlefield Baltasar travels to Lisbon where he eventually meets Blimunda while watching public executions of condemned individuals. An eccentric Padre Bartolomeu Lourenco recruits Baltasar and Blimunda to work in secret creating Passarola, a flying machine that resembles a giant bird. Centuries before the modern airplane is created, the act of flying is often beyond the comprehension of individuals and could be seen as a holy sign. The sections of this book detailing the plight of Passarola are most entertaining and fun. This creates a good balance with the harsh details of the building of the convent. Saramago succeeds in writing entire passages revealing how much work and sweat were involved in such acts as dragging a giant slab of marble a considerable distance. One might think these passages are dull and tedious, but I believe Saramago highlights these arduous aspects of life that are often ignored by other authors who create works of historical fiction. Throughout the years Saramago has solidified his reputation for being a wonderful storyteller who create novels that are both shocking and revealing of the human condition, and BASTASAR AND BLIMUNDA is no exception. Highly recommended.

Book Description
Dane Whitelaw knows something about Sheila Warren that no one else does. Dane knows Sheila's dead.
The private investigator found a photo under his door -- a picture of Sheila, strangled with his tie and posed on the beach of his private island in he Florida keys. The crime appears to be the handiwork of a serial killer currently terrorizing the Miami area. Now Dane knows he is being set up to take the fall for the killings. He just doesn't know why.
When Kelsey Cunningham's bet friend goes missing, she confronts the one person she thinks will have information -- Dane, Sheila's former lover and a man from Kelsey's own past. Kelsey follows Sheila's track into a dangerous world of sex, violence and drugs, with Dane right behind her. But the tentative trust between them shatters when Sheila's body is discovered -- and Kelsey recognizes Dane's tie.
Now Kelsey doesn't dare trust anyone. Especially a man she can no longer deny she has always loved. Because here on Hurricane Bay, a devastating storm can hit without warning and whether it's a tempest of unbridled passion or the desperate fury of a killer, nothing -- and no one -- is safe.

unbelievably bad!.......2006-10-08
I cant believe this is the tripe dished out by a best selling author...it reads more like a teenage novice's attempt at mystery. I couldnt even finish it
Slow go to nowhere.......2004-09-22
Came across Graham's name in a round-a-bout way. Had to find out how good/bad were the books of someone who lives in a $1 million estate across the street from the exclusive Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, FL were.
I guess when you grind out "more than ninety novels" (book jacket blurg) you don't produce the quality of Michael Connelley in mystery fiction (read his Angels Flight and know joy)or an Elmore Leonard for awesomely good writting and research in a lot of different areas.
Geez, I would assume that someone who lives in the Miami area and writes "knowingly" about Key Largo would know that the body of water on the side of Key Largo opposite the Atlantic is NOT the Gulf of Mexico.
Add in dislikable characters all around -- given such little character development as there is -- and female characters who seems to do nothing but SCREAM at every development (combined with an overall plot and resolution that is mundane), you have a loser.
Keep on grinding 'em out, Heather, but I'll leave it to the rest of the great unwwashed to buy and/or read 'em.
Excellent Book Five Stars.......2004-03-12
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very refreshing to read things that people really say in "real life" rather than editing the talking. I think that is waht I liked most about this book, the down to earth talking and conversations. It also had a very thrilling plot, one that had me on the edge of my seat. Heather Graham is definitely my favorite thriller authoress. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ms. Graham's books....
Disappointed.......2004-02-29
I became a fan of Heather Graham after reading "Picture Me Dead" and have been ordering/reading her other books. Just finished "Hurricane Bay" and have to say I was disappointed. There is no sexual chemistry between Dane and Kelsey, as there was in PMD. The mystery isn't much of a mystery and the characters seem shallow and undefined, even immature at times. Ms. Graham is a good writer, one I usually love to read. I hope this one was a fluke.
No more "Murmuring", please!.......2003-08-10
I've read two of Heather Graham's books so far, and this will be my last. Dreadful!
I couldn't bear to read another "she MURMURRED!!"
The characters in this story were shallow and stupid. Absolutely nothing happens until midway through the book and that's just more dull stupidity.
"Night of the Blackbird" was better, but this author tends to create too many boring conversations and irrelevant details.

In October 1998, a wayward tropical storm blossomed into one of the most powerful hurricanes in modern history. When it finished its devastating course throughout the Caribbean, Hurricane Mitch had killed thousands of people, left hundreds of thousands more homeless, and destroyed whole towns. Journalist Jim Carrier turns up a small but telling incident: the disappearance of a 282-foot schooner called the Fantome. Guided by a young but accomplished English captain and manned by seasoned West Indian sailors, the cruise ship put into port in Belize to discharge its passengers, then set out to sea in an attempt to outrace a storm that, defying expectation, changed its course and in the end sent the Fantome and its crew beneath the waves. All that was terrible enough; added to it was the legal battle that awaited the crew's survivors, one that hung over the disaster "like a poisonous cloud." Following the Fantome's course hour by hour, Carrier covers all aspects of the incident thoroughly and sympathetically. His book makes a compelling companion to Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm as a fine reconstruction of a maritime tragedy, one that does honor to the unfortunate dead. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
"Utterly compulsive and unputdownable--the most exciting, authentic, and humanly moving of all the recent Storm books. Brilliantly paced and perfectly balanced. . . . Carrier is a marvelously trustworthy narrator. . . . A terrific book."--Jonathan Raban, author of Passage to Juneau: A Sea and Its Meanings and Bad Land: An American Romance
"A wonderful story. An extremely well-written account of the events as I knew them. I commend Jim Carrier for a magnificent job."--Jerry D. Jarrell, Director, National Hurricane Center
In October 1998, the majestic schooner Fantome came face-to-face with one of the most savage storms in Atlantic history. The last days of the Fantome are reconstructed in vivid and heartbreaking detail through Jim Carrier's extensive research and hundreds of personal interviews. What emerges is a story of courage, hubris, the agony of command, the weight of lives versus wealth, and the advances of science versus the terrible power and unpredictability of nature.

Hurricane Mitch and the Fantom, April 3, 2007 .......2007-05-18
Jim Carrier tells the story of The Ship and the Storm by using crew accounts, passenger interviews, surviving crew relatives and official weather related records.
Anchored in the quiet waters of the Bay at Omoa, Honduras passengers excitedly board the Windjammer Cruise Ship Fantome. Feted with the finest cuisine and free flowing rum swizzle the fun and excitement is just beginning as the tall ship prepares to sail from one tropical paradise to another.
Two mornings later as the Fantomes' guests finished their Bloody Mary and sticky bun breakfast a weather station on the West Coast of Africa was recording a drop in the barometric pressure. The Miami Hurricane Center labeled the system #46 and indicated in the margin that it was impressive.
One week later on the evening of October 17, 1998 while Fantome passengers partied tropical wave 46 was moving west past Barbados in the Windward Islands. A day later the National Hurricane Center using satellite pictures and computer models predicts that tropical wave 46 will become a hurricane.
October 21st the day Fantome arrived at the island of Guanaja off the north shoulder of Honduras a C-130 Hurricane Hunter located a weather system created by wave 46 and notified Miami that they had located a tropical depression.
However, weather in the Western Caribbean is good and Fantome passengers were still enjoying their cruise vacation. But change came the next morning and Captain Guyan March advises crew and passengers on the report of the storm.
BULLETIN: 5AM EDT SAT OCT 24, 1998. MITCH STRENGTHENS RAPIDLY INTO A HURRICANE
Storm tracks in the direction of Cuba and the Cayman Islands and forecasters are calling Mitch a potentially dangerous hurricane.
Fantome was at Omoa, Honduras where locals advised Captain March to drop both anchors and stay in port. March consults his boss in Miami by phone.
October 25th National Hurricane Center forecasters are dumbfounded by the rapid escalation from a low intensity storm to a Category 4 hurricane within a 24-hour period.
Following prolonged discussions with Windjammer Headquarters in Miami it was decided to cancel the Fantomes' cruise. Passenger safety was uppermost in their minds and they discharged the passengers at Belize City. They didn't consider Belize a safe harbor to ride out the storm so Fantome with 31 crewmembers aboard left Belize to try and outmaneuver the storm.
Hurricane Mitch was coming up on Swan Island and conventional wisdom as well as the National Hurricane Centers computer models predicts that the storm will turn to the northwest. Fantome headed southeast from Belize toward the Bay Islands north of Honduras and had the storm tracked to the northwest as was expected there would have been plenty of separation between the ship and the storm. But the monster storm called Mitch with a mind of its own defied convention and turned south where it continued to spin its Category 4 and sometimes 5 winds over the waters and islands destroying everything in it's path. High winds and waves produced by the storm extended out some 200 miles from its center. Fantomes' engines and Captain March's skilled seamanship was no match for the tall waves and winds produced by Hurricane Mitch. Eventually the powerful waves broadside Fantome and breach the ships watertight bulkheads.
The story of The Ship and the Storm is tragically compelling.

When God's Not On Your Side.......2007-03-10
It is impossible to overpraise this hurricane account as presented by Jim Carrier. Brilliant, masterful, harrowing, heroic, foolhardy, and heartbreaking are not overstatements. This is a story told by an experienced seaman who knows his subject all too well and who poignantly points out how life-or-death decisions that have to be made at critical moments can be the unfairest burden of all to place on individuals.
If one wants to know what it's like to experience a 'Cat 5' at sea without wisely wanting to go through it in actuality, this is a must-read. The book also beautifully balances the tragedy that was befalling the "Fantome" at sea with the simultaneous tragedy that 'Mitch' was wreaking on land; particularly the Honduran side of the story.
If you liked the "Perfect Storm" at all, you'll be mesmerized by "The Ship And The Storm."
As Carrier, the old salt puts it so well in the dedication at the beginning of the book: "There but for the grace of God go I."
Indispensable reading!!!
A great read and fun, too!.......2006-05-01
This is a great book but it states that a 1935 hurricane in Florida sandblasted victims into particles,
but this is impossible. I assume they were dead already and rotting on beach, but still this claim sounds fishy. Other than that, this is a fantastic book. Loved it!
