I’ve more than somewhat struggled with More Than Somewhat. It’s very popular with GR reviewers. To me, it seems so dated. The stories seem the same and the characters are cardboard cutouts. The best thing about the book is the dialogue which is pretty clever.

Guys and dolls and guys and dolls. I can’

Savrola is a page-turner all right. One simply must find out what happens next and how this will all end so one is propelled to read on. Many - but not all - of the turns and twists are discernible from some distance yet one reads on.

ENGLISH: A novel in the tradition of "The Prisoner of Zenda", taking place in an imaginary European country, where a revolution takes place against a tyrannic dictator. The characters are stock puppets, but the fight scenes are impressive. They reminded me of the barricade scenes in "Les Misérables"

The musical "Guys and Dolls" is one of the most beloved American classics and yet the brilliant stories that inspired it are largely forgotten. Every generation of children is introduced to Mark Twain, Booth Tarkington, and O'Henry, but never to Damon Runyon. Is it because he wrote about criminals?
