The first book fandom I ever joined was Artemis Fowl. I am still a huge fanfatic. You have to applaud the author for creating an out-of-the-box kind of book.

An interesting take on time-travel and the complexity of relationships. I was a bit confused at times, but it was definitely worth it. This is a really sad story (of course, I read it soon after a breakup, so that could be why I cried so hard) -- grab the kleenex!

Though a second reading is less uncomfortable than the first (the edge of the seat is so sharp, and bad for circulation!) this is still an exciting, dare I say epic installment of the adventures of Aubrey and Maturin. With few sentences, O'Brian lets us infer a tragic story and a driving hatred that create the climactic chase of the book. One of my favorite P.O'B. books. Further thoughts (on the fourth or fifth reading): This book is a classic 'out of the frying pan, into the fire' adventure. From the sharp practices of landsmen on rich sailors to a vicious blow in the Bay of Biscay, and on and on into more and more pressing perils. It should not be missed. More than that, I might also say that it represents a crisis in Maturin's affairs: the point where it must be shown if hatred of Napoleon and love of the natural world are strong enough to maintain a man's interest in life when he has a broken heart. A crucial installment in the series by any accounting. Also, of course, so well-written that a professor of mine in grad school used a section of it to illustrate effective sentence construction.
