Comment by loveslabourslost on March 13, 2013 at 5:42pm: So, I'm just about halfway through the text and already brimming with questions/feelings. One of the things that really has me going is Bernard's attitude.

Sometimes, I really want him to take a soma, too. I mean, I get that he's miserable being conscious of the wretched situation he lives in....but at the same time, I wish he'd find that little piece of humanity in himself that allows him to be gentle and caring.

He reminds me of the beast (from Beauty and the Beast) - that scene where the beast comes up to Belle's room and just yells at her YOU MUST COME DOWN FOR DINNER! and when she doesn't he just gets all If you don't eat with me, then you can starve!

Beast and Bernard are both very limited to seeing the world around them through this one single perspective (their own). As a reader, I want to shake characters like this until all the pieces find their place(s).

So, that's my biggest thing right now.
He asks Lenina if she'd be happier being happy in her OWN way. But he seems to want her to be happy in HIS way.

Interesting stuff. But I find him to be an interesting, passionate fellow. I'm totally sold on this book, haha.

Comment by MikeMichigan on March 1, 2013 at 9:39pm: I recently decided to read a book that was made into a movie that has become a classic. I started reading Gone With the Wind about a week and a half ago...about half-way through the book now. Excellent read, I highly recommend it. Just don't let the size scare you. To let you know, half-way in the book puts you just after Scarlett kills the Yankee soldier at Tara. There you go folks.

The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott: Heritage of Secrets.

Genre: Suspense Fiction by Michael Oborn

How would you feel if you were fired as church historian because you were too good at your job?

How bad would you feel if your father said you were his greatest disappointment?

What would you do if you were offered $2,000,000 for your unpublished manuscript? What insanity would provoke you to refuse the offer?

These were not Matthew’s biggest problem. To save his Cate Lynn he finds himself in a desperate race through three states.

Critics have likened Oborn's The Complete Mystery of Matthew Alcott to Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. Where Symbologist Robert Langdon is drawn through Paris and Great Britton to solve the code, Oborn’s hero is on a desperate race through New York and Salt Lake City to answer the mystery of the last revelation.
