I was looking for a cologne that was unique, masculine, not too strong, and a hint of sweetness to it. In the end, The Dreamer turned out to be just what I wanted. When applied in the evening, it blends so well with your body to create a universally attractive smell. I have been using this cologne for several weeks and every time I go to a club I can't dance with a woman for more than five minutes before I get a compliment about my smell. This cologne really lives up to its name of being a dreamy, romantic cologne and anyone who desires such an amorous scent would love The Dreamer.

Hmm not sure if i got the right stuff
I think I may have bought the wrong stuff.
I wanted Dreamer by Versace but I got "The Dreamer"
Not sure I've never smelled the stuff before.

Anyways at first it smells like a cheap 10 year old perfume, but after awhile it smells kinda like Joop.
Reminds me of something a woman would wear.

Comments about Versace Dreamer Cologne:
Upon first spraying it, the scent is definitely overpowering and busy. However, after only about 5 minutes on my skin, Dreamer settles into an orgasmic amalgam of floral/tobacco notes extrapolated from a past era. This scent is simply divine, that's all I can say....If you're a confident, mysterious man who wants something unique (and something nobody else will be wearing) this is for you.

Comments about Versace Dreamer Cologne:
I was so excited i found a site that sold a larger bottle because i fell in love with the scent.. first off i paid the 9.95 for the next day shipping and it doesn't didn't arrive on time it came a day later and they could not explain why. Secondly when it arrive and i smelled the cologne it does not smell the same as the one i smelled in the store, so i figured maybe because its a tester but no i went back to the store with the bottle i brought and smelled the stores tester and sure enough they had a different scent.. so i am not pleased with this product and will not purchase from this site again!!

Comments about Versace Dreamer Cologne:
This is my favorite fragrance. the fragrance i find is so elegant and unique. i would very much want this fragrance to be available as a -parfum- as the eau de toilet -for me--has a relatively short duration--but i must add- that other people have commented -favorably -regarding the fragrance-as being noticed even after several hours -when i have felt the aroma was dissipated on myself. as i,ve said -very classy-decidedly..unique. just love it!

I received from my partner, wendiek!! I knew the package she sent me would arrive! It was actually delivered yesterday late afternoon, but I didn't discover it until this morning (the postman had hidden it in a basket on my porch)!
I have officially been spoiled by Wendie - I don't have a dog of my own, but I visit the animal shelter often to get my dog love quota! So, wendiek crafted for me with doggie themed items! Yay!
This is the postcard she sent me - the translation of that word on the card means "Finally" - how appropriate- wendiek, you are a clever girl!
Look at these cute doggie coasters - I love their ears!
And then, a cute, cute apron - here's a close up of the dog on the front pocket - wendiek picked perfect colors and fabrics - the apron itself is linen with black penstriping and the dog is felt - beautiful felt.
Check out this artfully beautiful mug rug! The dog on this is beautiful with embroidered details and outline quilting around the dog. Both this dog and the apron dog are boxers! I love boxers!
There are several special features to the mug rug - on three of the fabric sections are quilted features - on one is "doggie", on another is "diane", and another has an outline of a dog bone! Awesome stitching, wendiek!! I love this mug rug - Good choice!!
Close up of the mug rug dog - check out the embroidered details!
And a corner bookmark - which was attached to a green card - the card had a pencil drawing of a dog - wendie, you are an ARTIST -
And here is a final picture of everything together -
Thank you so much, wendiek! You absolutely created and sent me wonderful things that are just my style. And, see? It was worth the wait!

Monaco angered by French Football League decision
Monaco have criticised the French Football League (LFP) after a request to postpone their match against Montpellier due to European commitments was rejected.
The match was originally due to be played on Feb. 14, but was postponed at short notice because of heavy rain in the principality.
It has now been rescheduled for April 7, but Monaco wanted it to be moved as they are due to play the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Juventus a week later and face six crunch games in the...

Review: '21 Jump Street' veers off coarsely
You'd expect a big-screen version of "21 Jump Street," the TV series that made Johnny Depp famous, to be a joke. And it is, a raunchy, violent and potty-mouthed farce that straddles the middle ground between "Starsky & Hutch" and "Superbad."
The cute young cops here are self-aware. They're incompetent, and they know it. New to the force, they haven't even memorized the Miranda Rights speech.
In high school, Jenko (Channing Tatum) was the popular, handsome jock who "didn't learn a thing." Poor Schmidt (Jonah Hill) was the insecure brainiac, picked on by Jenko. They become best buds at the police academy, though, then find themselves back at high school, assigned by their captain (Ice Cube) to go undercover to find the dealers of a deadly new drug, HFS.
Jenko is set to slide back into Prom King status; Schmidt is doomed to relive being the chemistry whiz nobody liked. But the idiots botch their assumed identities. Schmidt is now the alleged jock, Jenko the brains.
High school has changed. Enviro-nerd (Dave Franco) is king of the cool kids. Caring about schoolwork is cool, drama club is cool and picking on a gay kid isn't.
Jenko and Schmidt, alias Doug and Chad, have only three rules, but manage to mess things up.
Hill does his usual chubby-white-kid-talking-ghetto smack. Tatum, given a chance to cut loose, dives in headfirst, mocking his good looks and playing the male bimbo. His report about high school today being the reverse of when jocks like him ran the show is angry, wounded and hilarious.
Like high school itself, "21 Jump Street" hits the wall about halfway in. Even prom night can't save it. It relies on profane tirades from Ice Cube (funny), a teen party that gets out of hand and over-the-top violence. It loses track of these two guys living the reverse of their high school days.
And joking about how lame it is to recycle formulas, stereotypes and movie clich�s doesn't excuse the film from using them as crutches.

Flat knit wool up your legs and over your knees, ending in a short ribbed section to help keep them up. They soften nicely with washing, stay up well, and slouch beautifully. Made in the USA.
Large fits men's US shoe size 9-12, women's 11+
Small fits men's US shoe size 7-9, women's 9-11. (except Black, which fits women's US shoe size 6-8.5)
Cuffs are comfy to about 18-19 inches around, sock body only about 15-16.
They are currently about 30 inches from heel to cuff before being washed. Due to their high wool content, after a few warm washings they usually shrink down several inches. To prevent shrinking, you should wash in cold and hang them over a towel to dry.
Fiber Content: 70% wool, 20% nylon, 10% spandex.
Machine or hand wash inside out in cold water, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.

Apple releases 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display, priced at just $2,500 October 16, 2014 at 2:45 pm
Apple has unveiled the new 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display. As the name suggests, the new iMac has a 5K display — but otherwise, it keeps the same form factor as last year's iMac (it's still just 5mm thick at the edge). It is priced at just $2,500, and it ships today. Boom.At 5K…
HP announces split into two companies, but sadly they won't be called H and P October 6, 2014 at 7:47 am
HP, after years of will-they-won't-they deliberation, has officially announced that it will be split into two separate companies: HP Inc, which will focus on PCs and printers, and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which will take over the servers, storage, and other enterprisey aspects of HP. Current CEO of HP Meg Whitman will become the CEO of HP Enterprise; HP's head of printers and PCs, Dion Weisler, will become HP Inc's new CEO.
Windows 10 Technical Preview, hands-on October 1, 2014 at 3:32 pm
I installed Windows 10 Technical Preview. Actually, I was so brave (foolhardy?) that I upgraded my main Windows 8.1 installation to Windows 10. The good news: The upgrade process went very smoothly indeed. The bad news: Well, except for a few small interface quirks, there doesn't seem to be much bad news. Read on for my early hands-on impressions of Windows 10 Technical Preview — and a video of Windows 10 Technical Preview running on my multi-monitor desktop PC.
Windows 10: Familiarity breeds contempt October 1, 2014 at 8:13 am
Microsoft's unveil of Windows 10 yesterday was one of the most humble, apologetic things I've ever seen in technology. After years of defending Windows 8's weird mashup of new Metro and old Desktop, there wasn't a glimmer of hubris or righteousness on the face of Microsoft's Myerson or Belfiore as they showed off an early version of Windows 10. Windows 10 is basically the upgraded version of Windows 7 that we've always asked for — but is that a good thing?
Windows 10 unveiled: All the new features and changes from Windows 8 September 30, 2014 at 3:14 pm
Microsoft has unveiled Windows 10 — not Windows 9, but Windows 10. The event in San Francisco was mostly what we expected: Microsoft wants to make Windows 10 a killer OS for all of those disaffected mouse-and-keyboard users — both consumers like you and I, and also the big enterprise customers who were rather displeased with Windows 8's Metro interface. Read on to find out about Windows 10's new features and changes from Windows 8.
The new 27-inch iMac is getting a 5120×2800 Retina display, according to new leaks September 30, 2014 at 11:10 am
Rumors began surfacing this week that the 27-inch iMac will be receiving a massive boost in resolution from 2560×1440 (109 PPI) to 5120×2880 (218 PPI) — four times the raw number of pixels on screen. To help push nearly 15 million pixels at once, a new AMD-based GPU is said to be included as well. This is exciting news, but the inevitably-high asking price is bound to scare away most consumers.
USB Type-C connector will also support DisplayPort: Finally, one cable will fit every hole September 24, 2014 at 11:34 am
The USB Promoters Group and VESA have announced that the new reversible USB Type-C connector, along with supporting power delivery of up to 100 watts, will also support the simultaneous transport of DisplayPort 1.3 — and thus HDMI 2.0 and DVI will also work, with an adapter. Yes, it's looking like USB 3.1 with the Type-C connector will finally be a workable all-in-one cabling solution. Thunderbolt, we hardly knew you.
New Windows 9 Desktop screenshots show that Metro isn't dead yet September 11, 2014 at 12:38 pm
A bunch of new Windows 9 technical preview screenshots have been leaked… and I think you will either be curiously surprised, or utterly revolted. Good news: In Windows 9, it does indeed look like Desktop users won't be thrust back into the full-screen Metro interface. Bad news: The Desktop interface now looks like it has been infected by Metro.
Will Windows 9, and all future Microsoft OSes, simply be called 'Windows'? September 8, 2014 at 3:01 pm
There is an increasing amount of evidence that Microsoft is preparing to drop all of its different brands of Windows — Windows Phone, Windows 8, Windows 9, Windows RT — and simply call them all Windows. The idea would be that, in the mind of the consumer, Windows is just Windows, and that all of these different names and flavors are just confusing. Getting rid of all that complexity and returning to the old way — where Windows is synonymous with personal computing — would certainly be a coup for Microsoft.
Dell unveils 5K desktop monitor with almost 2x the pixels of your puny 4K display September 5, 2014 at 8:57 am
What's 27 inches across and has almost twice the pixel count of your puny 4K monitor? Dell's new UltraSharp 5K monitor, that's what. With a resolution of 5120×2880, the 27-inch monster has seven times as many pixels as your 1080p monitor, or four times as many as your 2560×1440 (1440p) monitor. It has a PPI of 218, which puts it on about par with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (2880×1800). When it goes on sale around Christmas time — for $2500 — it will finally replace IBM's mythical 13-year-old T220/T221 as the highest-res desktop monitor.

I'm in love...with my new LG Top Loader!!!!
Thanks to all of the advice on this forum I was brave and took the plunge into owning my first washer and dryer. My roommates and I are fascinated with this washing machine! We can wash EVERYTHING we own in it and still have room for more!
Granted my first load was a wrinkled mess, but on the second try I used the delicate cycle for my office clothes and underwear and it was much better. My clothes have never been cleaner!I couldn't believe how nice they smelled, even though I used such a tiny amount of detergent.
I bought the upgraded model with the steam feature because we have a lovable, but smelly at times, pet who loves to sleep on our beds. Now it's no problem...we can sanitize our comforters!
No problem with underwear getting twisted like others have mentioned. I washed them on the delicate cycle and they came out perfect. Towels also came out great--no tearing or pulls.
I LOVE my new washer and dryer.....thanks, everyone!!!
P.S. I didn't do quite as good as others on bargaining but I did get free delivery and paid $749 for each piece. I was happy with that....though I wish I had offered $600 now! Getting my warranty on Square Trader.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you like your new machine, kitkat3.
I got a kick out of your post because I just got a new washer too. I used to hate doing laundry, but am having fun now playing with all the cycles and enjoying the fresh, fluffy results. Off to do more bedding! :)
Me too. See my post on another thread.
Here is a link that might be useful: feedback on LG Wave top load washer
Question. Does your LG TL washer have a water level like this? Just wondering? I searched youtube for demo videos of the LG TL washer and this is all I could find. Usually Euro machines are not representative of US machines....This looks like it uses a LOT more than the Bravos or Cabrio from what I have seen.
Here is a link that might be useful: LG TL washer
I would say not quite as much water as that in the video. Upon reading a few customer's feedback I expected the water level to not even cover the clothes and I was leery of that, but the water level is quite adequate every time. I never have to use the "add water" button like some do. Perhaps they are using too much detergent.
Debi.....Hold on a min.....So ur saying that not only does it use adequate water, but there is an "ADD MORE WATER" button in addition to that? COOL!!!!!!!! I wonder how much MORE water it adds? Even though you don't need it, curiosity would get the better of me and I would wanna at least see how much more :)
Oh I forgot. May I make a suggestion? Plug your washer into a surge protector to protect it from surges that can fry the sensitive electronics and cause error codes. It won't prevent lightning damage but it will prevent typical surges which can do damage.
Yes, you can add water to a regular cycle, and then add even more if you want to (great for bulky items). I don't know how much it adds; the manual doesn't say, but next time I do it, I'll watch and get back to you.
Good suggestion with the surge protector. I'll mention it to my DH. We've had issues with our old electronic Kenmore and error codes. Usually, when there's a lighting storm, I unplug my W/D (advice from the Sears guy from years past).
Ok good! I can't say for 100 percent fact that the surge protector will prevent error codes, but I have not had any at all since plugging my six year old Duet into one. The first year I had the Duet I had error codes, and once the board was changed, none at all since then. Is it the surge protector? I don't know.....But they are cheap and I would use one to be on the safe side :).......Thanks

The landscape of international taxation is changing. The OECD's BEPS project is likely to rewrite the rules governing international taxation in a way that has not been seen since the League of Nations shaped existing rules in the 1920s.
A key component of this is taxation of the financial sector. Various sector-specific tax laws have been proposed. This is providing those in the sector with plenty to think about. One such figure is Mariano Giralt, Managing Director, Tax Services, at BNY Mellon. He talks to Matthew Gilleard about some of the key tax developments impacting financial services.

Taxpayers may have plenty to fear if next week's Tenth Circuit case concerning the so-called Amazon tax goes in favour of Colorado, as it could lead other states to implement similar rules to cash in on the verdict, massively increasing US compliance burdens for online traders, as well as hitting their profits.

I love the swaddle mes! They are great for middle of the night feedings. He still gets one or both arms out though. But I don't really try too hard to keep his arms in, he likes them out.

eRiding WSIS straight from Africa
One of the focuses of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process has been on the cross-cutting nature of technology, and how it can act as an enabler of other development objectives. In a workshop session on eRiders at WSIS, Toni Eliasz from Ungana-Afrika today presented a "replicable and low-cost ICT capacity building and support model" uniquely suited to enabling technology within this under-resourced sector commonly referred to as civil society.
TUNIS: Updated list of censored sites
This is an update on an earlier story about Tunisian websites that are currently blocked in Tunis. Please see the list below of additional sites. Once again it is not a complete list but it is a significant one from a Tunisian blogger on the APC WSIS blog.
The same old strangers
Why is that the police who want to look like an average citizen look alike all around the world? Why do they cut their hair and comb it the same way? Why do they use the same black glasses and same gold chains? Why do they like those tropical shirts that in the long run become a uniform? In Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, Tegucigalpa or Tunisia, they are instantly identifiable.
Guess who's on Tunis's IP black list
It is a well-established fact that censors in all times in history were just stupid. However, the finding that the Tunisian government feels it important to censor a Hungarian research center on avantgarde art is a surprising discovery.

3.0 out of 5 stars A slave to its structure,
MisterHobgoblin (Melbourne) - See all my reviews
The Luminaries is a tale of lies and deceit, fraud and vengeance, set amongst the goldfields of Western New Zealand in the 1860s. It was a time when men had dreams of getting rich very quickly based as much on luck as on hard work. But just as some are content to rely on the odds, others are willing to change the odds in their favour by nefarious means.
So when Walter Moody, a recent Scottish émigré, accidentally gatecrashes a clandestine meeting of twelve local businessmen, he is drawn into their various shady dealings. There is gold lost and found; a missing man; a dead drunk; a suicidal prostitute and a very sinister, scar-faced sea captain. There are tensions between the white settlers and the Chinese camp. Oh, and there is a token Maori. The writing, for the most part, is really good. The setting is conveyed well and the reader feels fully transported through space and time into a complex and authentic world.
But, and it's a big But, the involvement of so many players makes the novel far too complicated and grinds the pace down to a glacial speed. Every player has to have a relationship with each of the other players, resulting in many events being played out multiple times from multiple perspectives. Moreover, the use of reportage to create a non-linear time structure heightens the feeling of repetition. When it seems that the novel has finally moved on, it gets brought back again and again and again. The twelve main characters are supposed to represent different signs of the zodiac and perhaps those who like astrology would recognise their traits and interactions. But for the lay reader, the characters seem rather indistinguishable and, frankly, not much more than a personification of their job. The novel may be long (830ish pages) but is so full of plotting that there is little real space for characterisation. This can result in people forming alliances or breaking pacts for no obvious reason. We find out what people do, but have little insight into why they do them. OK, some of the main players (apparently the planetary and terra firma characters) have some slight backstory, but the others (the stellar ones) simply are as they are.
The pace does pick up eventually - after about two thirds of the novel - but what is not apparent from the page count is that this is actually the denouement. The many subsequent sections seem to be some kind of zodiacal obligation telling the reader nothing new and presenting historical events that had already been inferred. Moreover, as the sections wend their way to an end, the brief introductions to the chapters (as one finds in Victorian novels) grow longer and start to carry information in their own right, leaving the body of the section to carry only snippets of mercurial dialogue. This was necessary because each section had to be exactly half the length of the previous one (count the words if you don't believe me). This really is not a satisfactory way to end a plot-driven novel of this length.
I am sure there is a good story buried somewhere in The Luminaries. But just like the thin person struggling to emerge from every fat person, sometimes dieting in not enough and bariatric surgery is needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Novel demanding due to its volume, but well-made and worth of your time,
Denis Vukosav - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Luminaries (Hardcover)
'The Luminaries' by Eleanor Catton is a demanding novel due to its volume, but a book whose quality certainly deserves your time.
With its more than 800 pages, 'The Luminaries' is the longest novel that had won 'Man Booker Prize' in its long history, what author achieved few days ago.
Its story begins when a young man named Walter Moody comes by ship to gold mining town in New Zealand.
When he will stay to the nearest hotel to the quay, he will come to a meeting of twelve local men who had met due to the mystery and some even illegal incidents that happened in their town.
Two weeks before, in one night known hermit and drunk died in a shack that overlooks the town, young man who became rich in gold mine disappeared and ship's captain of bad reputation cancelled all of his business.
Known prostitute was arrested, due to her connection to all three of them...
Each of them twelve will tell his story about these events to Walter and this is how the story will proceed, while reader will find out what brought each of these men to this gathering.
Walter will also tell his story, that will eventually show also related to the other stories, although at first it doesn't seem so...
A novel is divided into twelve chapters, one a bit smaller in its length to the previous, after some time had passed between them, explaining a bit more meeting that happened in first chapter.
It is evident that in novel construction author deliberately used a lot of numerology, astrology and symbolism in the way that when reader will finish 12th chapter she/he will be again at the novel beginning, and what was then a bit less unclear will now be fully understandable.
The novel is written in somehow 19th century writing style that is the time when the described events took place, and this was a good choice for author making whole story more convincing due to its above-mentioned connection with astrology and numerology.
And although is hard to tell anything about its plot and in same time not spoiling the adventure of discovering for each reader her/himself, I can only say that its story is bent, and enables reader that with each new chapter to find some new information that will explain something from the past or maybe drag us in the wrong direction.
At the end when all the events will be explained we will realize that both our and novel characters assumption were probably wrong, and its end will be more or less surprise for most of readers.
Good or bad, I will leave that for each reader to decide, but this is a book that, although demanding, due to its quality is worth of your time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Suffering from giantism, a huge, worthy book that should not have been so cumbersome.,
Marius Gabriel "Author" (London) - See all my reviews
I had been greatly looking forward to reading this, but my experience with the book was somewhat akin to that of a swimmer who plunges eagerly into a river, but finds the opposite bank a lot further away, and the river a lot deeper, than first appeared... and the whole idea of making the crossing comes to lose its appeal.
It's not that it's a bad book. It's a beautifully-written pseudo-Victorian mystery, with a strong sense of time and place. Eleanor Catton's "The Rehearsal" was a very promising debut, flawed by over-complexity and over-ambitiousness. The problems of that book, far from being resolved, have been greatly compounded in "The Luminaries." It's simply too long (some 850 pages), too complex and too dull for pleasurable reading. Pseudo-Victorian fiction is a morass for inexperienced writers, tending to the production of much scribbling and damn'd thick, square books -- whereas the Victorians themselves could often be very concise.
Praised to the skies by critics, garlanded with prizes, this is a book which most ordinary readers will struggle with, and the reviews here show that. There are too many characters to remember, too many conversations to follow, too many mysteries to unfold. In a novel that should have been highly original, the reader is left with an impression of endless repetition, of scenes that sprawl and loll, of a prolixity of characters too much alike to one another to inspire interest. Like many other reviewers, I was numbed by boredom, despite the best will in the world.
The book could have worked very well at half the length or less, and with half the characters or less. A great pity. But Eleanor Catton is a very young author who is still learning her craft, and I am confident that her prodigious talent will produce a far better and more enjoyable book very soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sloppy and unfinished,
L. Raikov "Lo Ra" (UK) - See all my reviews
I have an impression that by the end the author got tired of her novel, numerous characters and the need to tie up multiple story lines. Been tired, she didn't find it in herself to even properly complete the novel. She struggled for a bit and then simply dropped it letting the readers sort out lose ends and obvious contradictions. Ever diminishing chapters at the end with longish preambles look like a plan of a novel rather than the actual novel. I was mystified by the author's statement that "Carver found the bonanza at Wells' home", when the whole plot up until that chapter at the very end had been based on Carver not finding it! Or perhaps I was too tired to even look for the explanation. The Booker prize committee's logic, however, - that's a real mystery.

2.0 out of 5 stars My dominant feeling on finishing this book was one of ...,
Kiwi (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Luminaries (Hardcover)
My dominant feeling on finishing this book was one of self-congratulation in actually having made it to the end. I have joined the elite band of readers who have done so, but I have not made it to the super-elite group who not only finished it, but understood it (but then I wonder if there are many at all in this category).
Normally, I would give Booker-prizewinners a wide berth, fearing over-intellectualism and incomprehensible story lines, but here was one with a crime/mystery theme, and by a New Zealand author, and I'm a NZer myself so, here we go...
For the first 150 pages, I thought my Booker prejudices were validated: hard going, put-downable, especially when I considered the hundreds of pages still to come. But I stuck with it and, very gradually, I found myself getting drawn in, with a mounting curiosity as to where it was going (as one might hope with a mystery). Things were looking up! (aided, I should say, means of one of the characters providing a 2-3 page summary of the story so far at the end of Part I, some 350 pages in - very helpful, this, you can look forward to it). And so on to the full 827 pages, but, after all that, to a damp-squibbish ending. Was that it? - after all that?
Notwithstanding the critics' accolades, I dare to say I can't understand how this story can be highly rated. The book is far, far, too long, moving at a glacial pace; the story is stupifyingly complex, propped up with far too many coincidental events and long-shot chance happenings; then there's the sleight-of-hand techniques such as two characters having the same name (or was it one character having two names? - can't remember, it's gone); and don't get me started on the resolution of the "missing bullet" saga - I'll keep this from you. Is this really award-winning stuff?
For me, the star of the book is the town of Hokitika and, in this aspect, I am fulsome in my praise for Catton's description of the era of the 19th-century gold rush in NZ's South Island, particularly on the West Coast; it's highly informative and enjoyable in that respect. It's a pity it's taken such a cumbersome vehicle to convey this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull,
A.E.C. "Pandora" (West Sussex UK) - See all my reviews
Don't whatever you do be tempted to read this on kindle. The whole experience felt like trying to chew through a piece of carpet. Very tough going. So much hype about a novel that as far as I can tell is all about its "clever" construction leaving the reader thoroughly dissatisfied with the content. Since the chapters follow the phases of the moon on a kindle this just compounds the feeling that the reader is getting nowhere fast as the percentage marker just does not seem to move regardless of the number of pages that have been waded through. Even by the end as the chapters become shorter there is no great feeling of being any nearer to making sense of what is actually quite a dull story line. Repetition is just tedious as the same scenario is told through so many different characters who all supposedly have the personality traits associated with their star sign. Emperor's new clothes if you ask me. My entire Book Group could not slate it enough!

1.0 out of 5 stars I normally enjoy murder mysteries and ' who dun its',
Paul S Kunes B.A. (King's Lynn, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I read this book because some one submitted it for our book club to read. I finished out of courtesy to the person who entered it for the club. I would have put it down after 10%. I very nearly lost the will to live with it. There were 800 pages of insubstantial repetition. The whole story could have been written in 80 pages. A man is found murdered, a woman is found unconscious, another man is missing, a Chinese man gets murdered. All the evidence suggests that thoroughly nasty sea captain and his woman are responsible. The obvious place to finish was with the magistrates court case but Catton resurrects every one, murders the sea captain then never solves his murder.
I normally enjoy murder mysteries and ' who dun its'. I did not enjoy this. I don't understand the criterion for winning 'The Mann Booker Prize'.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good read but ultimately unsatisfying,
This review is from: The Luminaries (Paperback)
Brilliantly researched, The Luminaries held my attention (and closely too) for about 700 of its 830 pages. After that the book subsides into a frenetic series of chapters desperate to explain the excessively intricate plot but without any sort of proper resolution. Do the baddies (of pantomime proportions - scar on cheek for the man, leader-astray of virgins for the woman) get their comeuppance? Does the innocent observer Mr Moody find his fortune? We are never told. Apart from the ones that end up dead we aren't told how the characters come out of this complex tale.
Then there's the astrology. Astrological charts preface the sections and random-seeming titles head the chapters. What does Catton mean by this additional complication that she's not telling us? For me, who didn't 'get it' and who finds astrology as tedious as the spiritualism that makes a brief appearance in the book, this stuff was just annoying.
As the chapters get shorter, their introductory summaries (In which so-and-so happens) get longer until they burst out of their function and summarise a story which isn't told in the text. So at the end the book becomes shorthand as if Catton has got bored with the exercise and has suddenly realised how many pages she's racked up and wants to go down the pub.
The end of a novel is important - it's the final and most powerful impression the reader is left with. This is a book that really ducks the whole idea of an ending.
The book won the Booker without being the best novel of the year, not even the best on the short list and that's saying something.
Summary: I really enjoyed the build up but the conclusion was disappointing, no reward for wading though all those pages. Four stars for the bulk, one for the end, so three stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not entirely sure what i expected,
I didn't dislike the book entirely...it started off as a slow read and I trudged on through hoping it would pick up... It did but only by virtue of the chapters getting shorter. It piqued my intrigue but the climax was not as all consuming and gripping, and I felt left with a whole number of unanswered questions. A bit of a disappointing read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Got to the end......but was it worth it?,
I managed to finish this book and I enjoyed it up to a point. It was however very complicated and I found myself re reading many parts to make sure I had grasped what was going on. Found the ending very disappointing.......the author just seemed to wind up as quickly as possible what had been a very long and drawn out plot. Ended up thinking ' oh that's it then is it?
