The longest review:
A Second Rainbow was a terrifically fun read. I really like this authors writing style having read some of her other work and from following her blog where she has been tirelessly researching the dating scene for those of more mature years. This is a writer who has walked the walk and that comes across in this well written book.
We follow Dorothy on her second time around journey in discovering love, lust and everything in between after her marriage fails. This tale is structured around the story of The Wizard of Oz (hence the Dorothy bit, is anyone called that nowadays?) anyway this worked very well as we met and experienced the various men that Dorothy dates.
This book is in the erotica section and I’m not sure where the line is drawn or at what point you have to make it clear to readers that there could be scenes they may find potentially alarming. I found that unlike some erotic novels I’ve read there were no long scenes of an explicitly intimate nature where everything is described but more that this is a rather refreshing read where sex is mentioned, briefly described in quite robustly blunt terms that I really liked.
I happily sailed through this book and was so fully absorbed in the storyline that just like Dorothy I didn’t see the twist coming, not at all, I should have done of course, well because… no I won’t spoil it but it was very well done.
I loved the relationships Dorothy manages to keep, forms and maintains and though her story is very different to mine I have a feeling that should we ever meet we would get on famously. A highly recommended read with great insight into finding that second rainbow many seek.

I have a question for you Philomena. In Anne Rand's Utopian World, where everyone should produce; what about those who are unable to? I refer to those who are born crippled, profoundly retarded etc etc. Where do they fit into Rand's idea of a logical utopia? Or are they to be ignored, or done away with? I have read this book, and this is the question I would ask Rand, if she were still alive.

I read this book for the first time a couple of years ago, when I was given a present of a compendium of H G Wells' most famous science-fiction novels (War of the Worlds, The Island of Dr Moreau, Things to Come and the Time Machine were its companions, if I remember correctly).
The Invisible Man has become such a popular culture mainstay that it's very interesting to trace him back to his roots. It's a good, well-written, well-paced novel that touches on a number of social themes - Wells seems to be saying quite a bit about the corrupting influence of power. Although the power of invisibility itself hasn't come to pass, the novel can be seen as being prescient in another way, perhaps, given the totalitarian and fascist power regimes that were to grip Europe in the decades subsequent to its initial publication, and how the great power wielded by an individual or an elite few was so terribly misused.
Just in case that bit of tinhorn philosophy puts anyone reading this off the book, I should stress again how brisk, fresh and entertaining it (mostly) reads. The 1935 Universal film of the same name is a reasonably accurate transfer of the story to celluloid, with an excellent voice performance by the splendid British actor Claude Rains in the title role. Director James Whale, as was his habit, ramps up the English eccentricity a bit when it comes to the humour and the supporting cast, but he captures the gist of the plot and its themes with dexterity, and the special effects by John P Fulton stand the test of time reasonably well.

If I say it is a book about rich women getting murdered via singles websites, CS might ban it. So I won't.

one of the best books i've read, and i've only read one, till later i found out they were actually a series of them. Definately a must read, once it grabs you it won't let you go, try the movie it's also a good one, specially if you're in love of the new james bond actor.

I have read this book so I can attest to the fact that it is actually relevant. Also after reading it I came across a book on Tao and one of the descriptions of hell in A Divine Revelation is perfectly depicted by an ancient Chinese painting of Hell.

Still waiting Pat!! I can only read your books so many times. By the way, I heard there's a series being developed based on his books and I believe FOX has the rights but don't quote me on that. Anyhow, this book and the sequel, The Wise Man's Fear are phenomenal books and should surely be read.
