The Moor's Last Sigh Salman Rushdie revisits some of the same ground he covered in his greatest novel, Midnight's Children. This book is narrated by Moraes Zogoiby, aka Moor, who speaks to us from a grave in Spain. Like Moor, Rushdie knows about a life spent in banishment from normal society--Rushdie because of the death sentence that followed The Satanic Verses, Moor because he ages at twice the rate of normal humans. Yet Moor's story of travail is bigger than Rushdie's; it encompasses a grand struggle between good and evil while Moor himself stands as allegory for Rushdie's home country of India. Filled with wordplay and ripe with humor, it is an epic work.
Book Description
Time Magazine's Best Book of the Year
Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie combines a ferociously witty family saga with a surreally imagined and sometimes blasphemous chronicle of modern India and flavors the mixture with peppery soliloquies on art, ethnicity, religious fanaticism, and the terrifying power of love. Moraes "Moor" Zogoiby, the last surviving scion of a dynasty of Cochinese spice merchants and crime lords, is also a compulsive storyteller and an exile. As he travels a route that takes him from India to Spain, he leaves behind a tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerized offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave.
"Fierce, phantasmagorical...a huge, sprawling, exuberant novel."--New York Times

Still not a fan........2007-10-03
Reading it on the recommendation of a fan of Rushdie's calling whom a voracious reader would be a vast understatement--a conservative estimate would be to say that the books in her house outweigh all her other possessions by a few factors (perhaps, betraying my experience in reporting research here?). This is the second Rushdie I am reading after Midnight's Children which I read as part of a course almost a decade back curious to see if my opinion would be different reading it outside a classroom so many years after forming my first impression. I am not a big fan of that novel. My main problem with it is the high density of incidents packed into every square inch of every page of the book exacerbated by its, what's got to be, magic-realistic genre. My memories of reading books of the genre can be summarized as ultimately unsuccessful attempts at maintaining my willing suspension of disbelief. The coincidences mount and as the novel progresses the twists seem more and more arbitrary, whimsical, and ultimately nonsensical. In Rushdie's case, as is being confirmed with this novel, I give-in to disbelief somewhat earlier than say a Marquez.
I feel Rushdie would be more successful as a short story writer--I think the next time I read something by him, and if the trend is maintained that should happen sometime in 2017, it'll be one of his short story collections. In fact, even with Moor's Last Sigh I was actually enjoying Rushdie's virtuosity, his humor, his way with words, his depiction of `Hinglish' and the intricate sentences for about the first 30 pages before I experienced my first cringe. His description of the division of a house between the families of two brothers listing out in detail the specific articles that went to each side concluded with a phrase to the effect that the division was so ruthless that even the lizards of the house were divided. For me that phrase did not have its obviously intended effect of being funny. Instead, it felt like a relic from the first draft which should have been removed by the author's own better judgment. It's not my intention to write a review of the novel here. I think people who liked Midnight's Children will probably like this one too and going by my own reaction the converse should also be true. Despite strong hopes I have not become a fan of Rushdie's.
Lovely and Complex.......2007-05-07
THE MOOR'S LAST SIGH is the last confession of Moraes "Moor" Zogoiby, the last of a long line of sinners and saints. The title refers to both Moor's final confession and to a painting of the same name, created by Moor's mother, Aurora. Moor tells of the feuds of grandparents and great-grandparents, of the "pepper love" of his parents and the eventual breakdown of their marriage, and of his own struggles with love and with his darker, more violent side.
This is a novel of paradise and of hell. Moor's childhood home is associated with paradise, as is his mother, Aurora, an artist full of fantastical visions. Moor's father and his business are associated with hell. Abraham Zogoiby is, on the surface, a respectable businessman, but his real fortune comes from drugs and sex trafficking. In THE MOOR'S LAST SIGH, paradise is always an illusion: The Zogoiby home proves to be full of serpents and even Aurora's artistic vision becomes dark and morbid as she grows older. Hell is always real, and its inhabitants are invisible, powerless. Abraham's empire is a place where "an invisible reality moved phantomwise beneath a visible fiction.*"
Rushdie's writing style is difficult to pinpoint. During the first few chapters, dealing with Moor's great-grandparents and grandparents, I was reminded of the prose of Gabriel Garcia Marquez: lyrical, complex, and a bit exotic. I later changed my mind, finding The Moor's Last Sigh to be more epic than the work of Marquez. It seems a bit like an agnostic Bible (filled with feuding siblings, serpentine characters, family blessings, family curses, paradise, and condemnation) crossed with a Greek tragedy (characters larger than life, full of passion, and headed towards an unstoppable doom). While the span of the novel extends from India's colonial days to the nineteen-nineties and historical events, movements, and ideologies are woven into the story, The Moor's Last Sigh has a timeless feel to it.
THE MOOR'S LAST SIGH is beautiful, readable, and frequently funny. Its only flaw is the plot is, at times, too intricate, too tangled, making it easy for readers to confuse/forget the earlier events of the novel.
Wonderful book.......2006-06-09
One of the best books I've ever read, if not the best of them. Salman Rushdie at his best!
Simply magical.......2005-12-30
One of the best family sagas I read. Exceptional beyond measure.
An Indian Dante.......2005-12-23
The prologue to this brilliant book opens "in this dark wood . . . in what ought to be the middle pathway of my life." The reference to Dante is but one of a number of literary allusions crammed into almost every densely-textured page, but it turns out to provide a key to the curious structure of this ambitious work, which is basically a violent family saga with the even more violent birth-pangs of modern India as its background.
Rather than starting in the Inferno, the book quickly rises to a sort of Paradise, and holds the reader there, enthralled, for the first two-thirds its length. Rushdie's fictional Gama-Zogoiby family mingles ancient bloodlines--Portugese, Moorish, Jewish, Hindu--and they come together in a sort of nuclear fusion. He writes in language at once false and true, brighter than Technicolor, spiced with pepper and coriander, erotic, witty, wildly inventive, and rich with more references than this reader can count.
In its last third, however, the book somewhat loses its élan. First, it plunges its eponymous hero into the Bombay underworld as a kind of living Hell. Then, in the deceptively simple writing of its final section, it uproots him from India and wafts him to a surreal vision of an Andalusian village overrun by expatriates, to end in a stateless Purgatory. It is an unusual journey for this modern Dante, but (as others have commented) it may reflect the author's own life since his exile. One feels his grief for India, his lost Eden.
Rushdie's title, besides being a multilingual pun (dernier soupir / last supper), is the name of a painting by the hero's mother, a famous artist. If the book has any one overarching theme, I would say it is about art itself: its passion, its power to simultaneously define and distort experience, and (sadly) its ultimate impermanence.
[As a footnote, it is curious that THE MOOR'S LAST SIGH joins two other novels I have read recently in having a protagonist whose life-clock runs in an unorthodox manner. The hero of Andrew Sean Greer's THE CONFESSIONS OF MAX TIVOLI lives his life backwards. The hero of Audrey Niffenegger's THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE skips around freely in time. And the Rushdie's Moor, Moraes Zogoiby, ages two years for every one. Although this is the finest of the three books, I am not sure what purpose is served by the distortion of time, except that it parallels the headlong rush of Rushdie's writing, and perhaps his own tragic sense of leaving life behind faster than he can catch it up.]

A MAN'S GOTTA DO ---- ME!! *eg*.......2005-08-08
Ms. Forster, I love your voice and writing style! Great characters, great storyline and sense of humor, WONDERFUL sexual tension. I'm so not foot-kissing here, either, but I have to tell you, too, that pov switching within scenes usually makes me batty, but even though you did it now and then, it was just as smoothly and seamlessly as La Nora. (Roberts) *G*
On my way to shower, and then jump hubby. And that's also something a book, in and of itself, hasn't inspired me to do since Betina Krahn's THE PRINCESS AND THE BARBARIAN! *blushing*
Ahem. Thanks for a marvelous read, Suz! I can't wait to dive into the other two stories...a little later. : )
Three hot and sexy stories.......2005-08-01
Velvet, Leather and Lace is a sensational anthology by three hot authors.
A Man's Gotta Do by Suzanne Forester had designer/finance man Jaime Baird in a jam. Everyone thinks that all women run the lingerie company Velvet, Leather and Lace. He searches his little black book for a woman to pretend to be him for an interview. Jaime gets more then what he bargained for when Lorna Sutton takes the challenge and Jaime on. Lorna has a score to love `em and leave `em Jaime but neither was prepared for the feelings to grow.
Calling The Shots by Donna Kauffman has another partner in VLL Samantha Wallace. Samantha is all work and no play. Things have always been on her terms in love and in life. Her current lover Marshall Conley wants more and how. He turns the tables on Samantha and brings out a steamier side to them both.
Baring It All by Jill Shalvis has partner Mia Tennario up a creek when her contractor quits days before the big fashion show. She turns to her best friend Jake Holbrook for help. Jake is willing to help but he wants more from Mia then just a thank you. He wants her to be willing to explore that they can have it all.
Velvet, Leather and Lace is wonderful anthology. Each story flowed into the next. It's a very hot and steamy read.
2 out of 3 isn't bad.......2005-07-18
This is an anthology about three partners in the lingerie catalogue company Velvet, Leather & Lace.
The first story is "A Man's Gotta Do" by Suzanne Forster. This is the first book that I've read by the author and I have to admit that I was disappointed. It could have been that I just wasn't in the mood, you know, where you go back later and read it and actually like it. But whatever it was, it did not keep my attention. I found myself drifting off and thinking of other things and having to practically drag myself back to the story. That isn't good. Furthermore, I kept checking the number of pages to see how close I was to the ending. There isn't any one thing that I can name that was wrong with it. It had humor, which is important to me. Great sex, which I like in my romances. I just couldn't connect with the characters. Jamie Baird is the lone male in of the partners. He designs the lingerie and, up until now, his identity as a man has been kept a secret. But now as they are about to hit the big-time with a fashion show, the press is clamoring for a look at the mysterious Jamie. In desperation, Jamie goes to his "little black book" and picks out a woman he thinks could pass herself off as "Jamie Baird, lingerie designer" for a big interview. He picks Lorna Sutton, a woman he went out with twice, had combustible sex with and then never contacted again. Lorna agrees, but only to bring Jamie down a peg or two. Of course, passion ensues and they fall in love. I did like the fact that Lorna, the heroine, was not a size 3 supermodel, but rather a curvaceous full-figure woman. Otherwise, I was not impressed.
Okay, Donna Kauffman's "Calling the Shots" was next and I like Donna Kauffman. But wait, this is dark. No humor. I just can't get into men ordering woman around and degradation, even simulated S&M. Again, agony to get through and I can't think of anything I liked about this one. A shame, because I do like Ms. Kauffman's work a lot. Partner Samantha Wallace has issues with intimacy - not the sexual kind, but letting people close to her. Marshall Conley is a horse trainer who has been her lover for a while and has now fallen in love with her. As I sit here trying to describe this story, words elude me. It's too convoluted. Something about making her give up her need to control things and trust him, and finally give herself to him completely. Sight deprivation, a rider's crop (which he never uses to whip her - I must point that out), etc. I wish I had skipped this one.
Now we are 0 for 2. I began reading this anthology on a Sunday night, reading approximately 1 ½ hours a night - and it took me four nights, 6 hours on two short stories. Wasted hours for me, so it was with a bit of trepidation that I turned to "Baring It All" by Jill Shalvis. By the end of the first page I was transfixed. This is the gem of the book, a lovely romp through the intricacies of falling in love. Mia Tennario and Jake Holbrook were neighbors and good friends. They spent a lot of time together playing games, eating out at least once a week and going to the movies. It was an important relationship to Mia, one that she wasn't willing to scrap for a sexual relationship because "desires waned .... they always did." Jake, on the other hand, had quite frequent fantasies about Mia and was willing to explore them. How he gets her to give in and watching their relationship blossom from friendship to love was a delight. Ms. Shalvis' humor, her connection with her characters and her obvious love for the journey of love makes for a very enjoyable read. One and a half hours later I was finished with her story and the only disappointment, for me, was reaching the end of the book. I wanted more. The five star rating for this story is for the Shalvis story alone. It was that good.
three steamy Velvet, Leather & Lace romances .......2005-07-15
"Red Velvet" by Suzanne Forster. Several months ago playboy Jamie had the night of his life with Lorna, but stupidly walked away. Now, the CFO of Velvet, Leather & Lace needs someone built just like her to pretend to be him with the media as everyone wants to meet the "women" behind the successful "Hot at any age, sexy at any size" lingerie catalogue company. As he tries to persuade her to masquerade as a female him, they fall in love, but she does not trust him with her heart and he does not trust him with her heart either.
"Black Leather" by Donna Kauffman. VLL partner Samantha is a control freak at work, but also uses her acumen in her sex life needing to always be in charge. Her lover Marsh wants her to let go and let him be in charge in bed even some of the time or else he will leave in spite of being in love with Sam.
"White Lace" by Jill Shalvis. VLL graphic designer Mia needs help when her set is not right so she turns to her best friend Jake to fix her problems. Jake agrees but wants more than gratitude from the woman he loves.
These three steamy VLL romances heat up the sheets as each well written tale makes the case that mixing business with pleasure with the right person is hot and sexy.

Han Solo.......2007-07-10
story of the origins of Han Solo, Chewbacca and why solo is working for the Hutts.The Hutt Gambit (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, Vol. 2)Rebel Dawn (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, Vol. 3)
good story about Han Solo's past.......2007-06-24
This book is the first of a trilogy about Han Solo prior to where we meet him in the Star Wars movies. It explores Han Solo's childhood/teen years and the later books in the trilogy lead in to how he met Chewbacca, Lando, and started working for Jabba the Hutt. Definitely recommend this.
The Han Solo Trilogy consists of:
The Paradise Snare
The Hutt Gambit
Rebel Dawn
the perfect launch for our favorite star wars pilot!.......2007-06-15
A.C. Crispin. When I first got this book and saw the author it rang a bell but I couldn't quite place the name. Then I looked inside the jacket and saw that she authored one of my favorite Star Trek novels, Yesterday's Son. As soon as I saw that I became even more hopeful that this was going to be a really good read and I was NOT let down at all!
From beginning to end, this book just feels 'right'. That's the best way I can think to describe it. As a Star Wars fan since I was a kid (who just recently got back into it through reading the expanded universe books) I was always curious as to how Han got his start. What made him tick, his early years as it were. What made him the seemingly self centered, reluctant hero that we were introduced to in the original film. This book delivers completely. Through flashbacks, we learn of hands childhood and see him in the 'present' in his late teens.
This book is a real page turner with great characters and plenty of Star Wars references and lore for the avid fan, but not so bogged down in obscurities that casual fans will be left scratching their heads. One only needs to be a fan of great stories and science fiction in general, not even star wars specfically, to enjoy this story. If you are a Star Wars fan, then you'll most likely be grinning at some of the names and places mentioned, without a doubt.
Definetly a worthy and enjoyable starting point for a character we thought we knew for years. Highly recommended!
not my Han Solo.......2007-03-23
This book, though midly entertaining, is not for the old school Star Wars fans that grew up on the original Trilogy. The Han Solo Trilogy lacks the stories of a scoundrel that I expected. This trilogy also has glaring contradictions and plot holes when taken with the movies and other Star Wars books. This book is for the younger Star Wars fan, the generation that believes Greedo shot first.
Early Han Solo.......2007-03-16
Ms Crispin has written a trilogy of Han Solo books to introduce us to the character and give us his background before we meet him in the films in a cantina in Mos Eisley. The first of these books is The Paradise Snare. In this volume we begin with Han's childhood as a street urchin on Corellia when he had no steady source of income, didn't know who his parents were, and survived by foraging for scraps of food. His life changes when the scoundrel Garris Shrike takes him away to join a band of spacefaring criminals. He lives on the ship Trader's Luck and earns his keep by participating in pickpocketing and various types of scams. His only friend on the ship is the Wookie Dewlanna.
However, Han's dream is to become an Imperial Navy pilot. He realizes that after ten years on Trader's Luck he is making no progress towards his goal. He forces his way off of Trader's Luck in a violent confrontation with Shrike and is successful only due to the intervention of his friend Dewlanna. Unfortunately she loses her life in order to help Han get free.
Han then ends up on the planet Ylesia - a steaming world of religious fanaticism where pilgrims are willingly processing spices for the Besadii Hutt crime family. During this period Han becomes an excellent pilot, meets a Corellian pilgrim named Bria Tharen, and plots their escape from Ylesia when they realize that the Hutts are really running a slave trade under the guise of religion. Han and Bria manage an exciting escape from the planet and create chaos as they do it. They end up in love and together on Coruscant as Han attempts to enter the Imperial Space Academy. Of course, as the book ends, things are not going smoothly. But that is what one would expect. After all, The Paradise Snare is the first book of three.
The author has given us an excellent look at the young Han Solo and has created a history for the character where we didn't have one before. Some of his actions in Episodes IV-VI will have more meaning now. I look forward to the next two books.

The Hutt Gambit
Solo is now a fugitive from the Imperial Navy. But he has made a valuable friend in a former Wookiee slave named Chewbacca, who has sworn Han a life debt. Han will need all the help he can get. For the Ylesian Hutts have dispatched the dreaded bounty hunter Boba Fett to track down the man who already outsmarted them once. But Han and Chewie find themselves in even bigger trouble when they agree to lend their services to the crime lords Jiliac and Jabba the Hutt. Suddenly the two smugglers are thrust into the middle of a battle between the might of the Empire and the treachery of their outlaw allies...a battle where even victory means death!
Rebel Dawn
The Millennium Falcon is "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy." So when Han Solo wins it in a game of sabacc, he and Chewbacca become kings of the smugglers--uncatchable, unstoppable. But with the Empire clamping down, Han knows his luck can't last. Still, when an old girlfriend who is now the leader of an insurgent Rebel group offers him a shot at an incredible fortune, Han can't resist. The plan seems a sure thing. The resistance will be light and the take enormous. Han and his friends will divide it equally with the Rebels. Too bad for Han that the planet of Ylesia is far from a pushover, that the Rebels have an agenda of their own, and that smuggler friends can often turn into enemies...quicker than lightspeed.

Greatest Star Wars Novel Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-05
In fact this may be one of the best pieces of science fiction from the last century. Hyperbole? Perhaps. Nonethelesss, I've read the trilogy 3 times now and it's been better and better each time. If you like Star Wars this is a MUST READ! Period.

OUTSTANDING, FANTASTIC AND FUN.......2000-04-11
I do not have the tape. I have the book (book club edition that put all three books in one hard back. I remember the ending of Paradise Snare but the other two ran into each other so well - I can't say. I can say that this author did the homework and weaved in cameo appearances, bits and pieces of actions in Daley's books and ultimate result was a smashing success. I stayed up all night with Paradise Snare and (learning I need sleep I did better with the rest). It was so hard to put down and parts I would read and re-read. It was wonderful to come to this book after Phathom Menance and Vector Prime. I could enjoy the characterizations, the story and the universe. I felt like I had come home to SW again. Thanks Crispin - a fantastic job. This will be one well read and well loved book. I am going to get another copy to keep in case this one falls apart.
Great History of Han Solo.......2000-03-26
This set of books was a wonderful to read. The story of Han Solo's life before the events of episode IV explained a lot of unanswered questions. The book takes you from the time before Han went into the Imperial Academy to him walking into Episode IV. It is a great book and I recomend it to anyone that likes Star Wars.

Devils and Demons and the reurn of the Nephilim.......2007-08-28
This is an excellent book. If you want to know more about how Gods Covenants go along with Jewish traditions this is a must. A lot of reserch went into this book. Don't let the title fool you. It is truth and must read. It keeps yo interested to the end. You will want to read it again
I'm Ready For Book Two!.......2007-08-08
I read this book just last year, and I learned a lot. I wish they'd hurry and get the second book out, though. I mean, we're in the end times NOW, and things are just going to get worse as time goes by. We all need to prepare for Christ's Second Coming, and we need to do it quickly because one never knows; He could come tomorrow, next month, next year, whenever. Book two is supposed to focus more on the Book of Revelation, and I really cannot wait to see what is said in it. I hope that when people read this book (Book One), that they feel they have a better understanding of the Bible and the Book of Revelation. Please Mr. Kline and Mr. Spears, get the next book out as soon as possible; we need it.
Devils and Demons and the Return of the Nephilim.......2007-06-04
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and thought the authors did a very good job and even touched on some subjects that I myself recognized and they expanded on it even farther. It only has one chapter on Demons and Nephilim, which I regretted and they keep mentioning a second book which is disconcerting as it alludes to having even more information on the subject of Demons and Nephilim. I hope they do produce it.
On a seriouse note- I do feel they are in error as far as there not actually being a new covenant!! Please read Hebrews 9:15 +/- all of chapter 9 talks on the subject of the old and new covenant and that Crist died for the new to be accessable to us.
Lucifer.......2007-05-13
I purchased this book to learn more of the Fall of the Angels. My perception differs from the author's as to the reason for all the turmoil in the World. I don't know that I believe in Nephilim and their giant spawn, but I do believe in Lucifer.
Devils and Demons and the return of the Nephilim.......2007-01-23
Very disapointing! Too much off topic information. It has only some information on devils, demons and the nephilim, and nothing at all on the return of the nephilim. Strange when you consider the title. I do not feel good about this purchase or the misleading reviews.
PS. I don't know why "Son of Bigfoot" shows up on my reviewer name.
