Fantastic.......2005-12-17
Kingston's book is the embodiment of post-modern conscience. As such, her writing is fragmented and at times the plot is unintelligible, obscured by intense imagery and rhetoric. The negative response to her work is thus understandable. However, the importance of Kingston's novel lies in its intensity, in its dense language and imagery, and in its ultimate unintelligibility. The lack of superficial structure and form, and the fragmentation of characters and occurences embody the external and internalized difficulties faced by Kingston's protagonist and the diasporic community as a whole, and likewise exemplifies the problems with and responses to diasporic literature. Overall, while obscure and difficult, Kingston's novel is an important feat (both for readers who complete the novel and for Kingston).
Some Gems, Lots of Murk........2005-06-06
Before I read this, I'd only read one other work by Maxine Hong Kingston--not a book, but a short essay. However, just reading that, it was very clear to me that Kingston is a superb writer with a clear, strong voice and a great ear for ambience and cultural innuendos. So I picked this book up.
The beginning of the book was simply stunning. The first few paragraphs were a bit hard to read, being so disjointed and LSD-ish, but once I got over that... Just hearing Wittman Ah Sing neurotically spewing out observations and thoughts about the city and its inhabitants was a real eye-opener. I really got the feel of what it was like to be fifth-generation Chinese-American at that time, and that's no mean feat. Also, later on in the book, near the end, Wittman is raging about how Asian-American writers are all written off as "exotic" or "not quite as exotic as you'd expect." Written with painfully acute perception in masterful language, that section almost trembled with rage and furor at racial stereotypes and prejudices. Yeah, and Wittman kind of grew on me and despite his neuroticism, I came to like him as a character. Perhaps not fleshed out completely well, but still likeable.
That said, though, I can see why this was her first novel. This book needs EDITING. The first part of the book and the last part of the book are excellent. Moving. Perceptive. Real issues, thoughtfully delivered, perhaps without clear-cut answers but then again there are not clear-cut answers to issues of this kind. BUT! If I wanted an LSD trip, I would TAKE an LSD trip. Jesus Christ. The middle section of the book, a few hundred pages, is just pure dribble as Wittman crazily heaves himself here and there while pontificating about some-forgettable-something-or-other. Given how much I feel for the subject, stereotyping and racism, the fact that I COULDN'T get through those pages says a lot. The review a few numbers back is quite funny--the one about how "you idiots don't have enough training in postmodernism to appreciate it, and I do, blah blah blah." It seriously is. But hey--Mr. or Ms. Gloomy Literary Geek With Your Nose Stuck Up in the Air--not all bad writing can be defended by that "oh it's the undereducated reader's fault, blah blah" argument. If that were so, hell, anyone who can hold a pen and spell reasonably would be the next Kundera. It's just like saying "We Lost 'Nam 'Cause You, the American Public, Didn't Support Us Enough!" Revisionist history, revisionist literary criticism. Blame and responsibility assigned on the wrong heads.
That said, though, I gave the book a four-star rating just because of the sheer force, lyricism and perceptiveness of the beginning and the end, around two hundred pages long.
I have a good mind to read Kingston's other books. If her first book's this good, those others are bound to be great.
I just have to wonder--why WASN'T this edited? Surely, with her name value, she could have gotten hold of any number of good editors. It's sad to see such a great book laid to waste.
Very Disappointing.......2003-01-08
I really do not want to write a bad review of Maxine Hong Kingston's work. Her "Woman Warrior" and "China Men" were wonderful. And she is a wonderful person. But that make me all the more disappointed with "Tripmaster Monkey."
I am quite familiar with post-modern novels, and I find Milan Kundera's roaming meanders and flying leaps a very pleasant read. So my reaction is not to post-modern style but rather to her application of that style.
There are so many layers upon heavy layers of self-indulgent baggage to plod through that reading the book became a nightmarish experience. I always try to read at least 100 pages of any book before abandoning it -- and I abandon books only very rarely. But after 68 pages of "Tripmaster Monkey", I simply could not go on, and I put it back on the shelf.
I may someday try it again. But I doubt it.
Memoir of a Playwright Among Ghosts?.......2002-01-13
It is hard to believe that "Tripmaster Monkey: His ... Book" is by the same author who wrote "The Woman Warrior." Maxine Hong Kingston's "Tripmaster Monkey" is her first "novel" (though by no means her first foray into fiction), and it is easy to see why there was a nine year gap between this book and "China Men." Kingston's novel, centring on a young, literary minded Chinese American man named Wittman Ah Sing, is meticulously researched and detailed, bringing to life the issues and fads of the mid-1960s Bay Area literary scene. Wittman, largely without an Chinese/Asian American literary tradition, has to overcome (white) racist assumptions of "the artist" in order to produce his truly American play without it being reduced to some "exotic" or "Oriental" exercise in Asianness. Despite the seriousness of Wittman's self- and community-driven mission to be taken seriously as an artist despite the racist assumptions that attempt to stifle his creativity, the novel is extremely funny, witty and surreal. Wittman disturbs a girl he is infatuated with by proclaiming "I am really: the present-day USA incarnation of the King of the Monkeys." Wittman is fired from his department store job because he puts "an organ-grinder's monkey with cymbals attached to its hands" on ..., for customers (children) to see! Wittman's parents abandon his honorary grandmother PoPo high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to die, and she is later rescued by a wealthy man who just happens to be seeking a wife! In many ways, Kingston's rendering of the surreal, "tripmaster" (mental and physical) wanderings of Wittman resemble the textual flow of the post-"Moby Dick" novels by Herman Melville. As with those later Melville novels, Kingston's own novel is often angry, but is also frightfully funny and filled with accurate observations of life, love and the role of art, religion, philosophy and national identity in society.
Tripmaster Ulysses??.......2001-01-26
It is little wonder that many people will dislike this book. After all, it assumes an advanced reading skill; the ability to follow a disjointed, post-modern narrative; and a spohisticated view of what literature ought to be. Some folks just aint got the stones for that. Poor dears, they are just, well ... let's just say they are limited.
See, there is more to books than just telling a simple story. Sometimes you need to be challenged. That is what really great books do. They challenge the reader to actually flex their minds. Tripmaster does just that.
The story of Wittman's (mis)place in society is a journey of self discovery for both himself and the reader. It brings up obstacles and barriers, both real and imagined, and forces the Wittman/reader to confront them.
Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Every page had a tangible flavor, and it was a pure joy to see the english language used so deftly. It also helped that I too, like the characters in this novel, am an alumnus of Cal.
Now I totally understand that not every book needs to be challenging or use complicated verbal gymnastics to be considered great. But to off-handedly criticize this book for being a mess or a waste of time reflects more on the readers severe limits and mental weakness rather than the book's.

Book Description
Julian Kane is back in town.
Once, as a girl of seventeen, beautiful, headstrong Portia Cabot saved the cursed life of the dashing vampire Julian Kane—who marked her forever, then left to go in search of his soul. He returns five years later to find the enchanting young girl he left behind grown into a bewitching woman with a woman's heart . . . and a woman's desires.
Portia quickly discovers that Julian's seductive and forbidden kiss can still make her crave the night . . . and his touch. But the Julian who has returned to London is not the vampire she remembers. His fruitless pursuit of his stolen mortality has reduced him to drunken debauchery. And a recent spate of murders makes Portia fear that the man she has always adored may truly be a monster.
Julian knows he must drive Portia away—but his passion and hunger for her grow more irresistible every time they touch. For years he has fought the temptation to embrace his dark gifts, never realizing that Portia's love may give him the most dangerous gift of all . . . a reason to live.

A Light Read.......2007-08-28
This book is a quick, easy read. It just lacked the punch/inspiration to grab readers emotional attachment to the characters or the story. In other words, I finished the book but just wasn't that interested by the end of it.
It was okay.......2007-07-24
The book was ok, nothing note worthy. I prefer more sci-fi and lore in vampire novels such as the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole. Kerrelyn Sparks has also wrote a few very entertaining and hilarious vampire books.
A Most Excellent Read.......2007-04-20
This book was really interesting. It had 2 very strong characters: Julian and Portia. I found Portia to be a huge snob at first and I just wanted to slap her, but she turned out alright. The plot was really good too. All around fun read. Pick yourself up a copy and enjoy!
Sink Your Teeth Into..........2007-03-24
Quite a good paranormal romance by Teresa Medeiros! The story picks up with Portia Cabot joining her brother-in-law in his vampire hunting in England in the early 1800s. Portia lost her heart (and more) to her brother-in-law's brother, Julian, five years earlier when she helped him in a duel of vampires. Now Julian has resurfaced, and Portia is eager to help him once more.
Medeiros has set this story in a very believable era, and while many of her characters show traits of modern behavior, she has created a vampiric world that seems at least plausible. The romance is hot and heavy, and the action is tense, especially towards the end. Not ever meant to be heavy-handed, Medeiros accomplishes her romantic intent with humor and emotion, if at times she is just a bit over-the-top. Anyone looking for fast, fun paranormal romance would do well to pick this one up. Medeiros has written a winner overall.
the resolution to the love story of Portia and Julian.......2007-02-21
Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques
In this sequel to After Midnight, we meet up with Portia Cabot five years later and after she has embraced her new job as vampire hunter, assisting her brother-in-law, Adrian Kane.
Portia loved Julian Kane with all the innocence of her young heart, even risking her soul to save him that night in a crypt five years ago. No one knows what really happened in there but she and Julian, though she now wears the tell tale bite marks on her throat. He abandoned her then, with his only intent to go find his soul and to escape the feelings for Portia that still haunt him.
Now Julian has returned to London, at the same time dead bodies of women begin showing up. Portia decides it is up to her to find Julian and bring him home. When she finds him, she discovers he is not the same man as he once was, for he has embraced his dark gift and seems unwilling to give it up. Little does she know that the real reason he disappeared was to forget about the forbidden love he had for her. Reunited, albeit reluctantly, Portia discovers her love for Julian is as strong as it ever was. But she can't forget the nagging possibility that he may very well be a murderer.
At last we have the resolution to the love story of Portia and Julian in The Vampire Who Loved Me. After seeing how much they struggled with their feelings in After Midnight, it is wonderful to see what has become of them. However, keep in mind that though this book does have its own story, it really feeds off of the buildup from the preceding novel. As such, if you have not read the prequel, you could be very confused at many times throughout the story.
Portia is a young woman torn between her desires for a man she cannot have and her duty to her family. She lives with the memory of her last meeting with Julian, one that she must keep secret to save his life. If Adrian knew everything that happened in the crypt, he would be hard-pressed not to hunt Julian down and drive the stake through his brother's heart himself. While Portia can not quite bring herself to believe Julian would have fallen so far as to become a murderer, she can't help the feeling that he is not the same man he once was.
The tone in this story is quite dark, possibly more so than its preceding title, due to the nature of Julian's spirit and mind. He agonizes over the choices he has made bringing him to his current state, but he will do absolutely anything to protect Portia, even if he must make a deal with a devil to do so. He is tortured by the beast that holds his soul and his love for Portia is all that keeps him from falling into the dark void of his baser vampiric needs.
If anyone deserves a happy-ever-after, it's Portia and Julian. After everything they've been through together and alone, they find that their love has the power to move mountains, and bring them back from the very brink of hell. I was happy to see that their journey to happiness was every bit as strong and unique as they are. Readers will rejoice in finally seeing them reach what they so desperately long for... each other.

Tom Veitch's original comic strip story traces Luke Skywalker's entrance into the Dark Side in the years after the fall of Darth Vader. The Empire is fragmented, and the Rebels seem on the verge of winning their long struggle when the sinister power of World Devastators emerges from the galactic core. These Devastators chew up worlds and manufacture robotic war machines out of the resources they consume. Luke's dark journey seems the only way to halt the massacre. But despite the importance of Luke in Dark Empire, the portrayal of Leia as an emerging Jedi is really the centerpiece of this volume. Married to Han (who goes flat in Veitch's hands) and with two children, Leia is torn between her role as mother and her role as Jedi warrior. While the story sometimes jumps too quickly between major scenes, Veitch does a good job of capturing the epic feel of George Lucas's masterpiece trilogy. Cam Kennedy's artwork is mixed in quality. Some of his drawings of the Millennium Falcon, hunter-killer probes, and robotic TIE-fighters seem to leap directly from the movie screen, while his human figures (especially of Han and Luke) can appear generic. Also, his style of coloring, using washes of similar colors on each page, is good for capturing moods but tends to obscure details. Despite these occasional shortcoming, this comic is recommended for one simple reason: once you start reading it, you won't be able to put it down. The other two parts of the Dark Empire trilogy include: Dark Empire II and Empire's End.--Patrick O'Kelley

A Sacrilege.......2007-08-18
I bought Dark Empire 1 and 2 to find out what happened to Luke between the Zahn series and the Jedi Academy series. What I discovered, was a Death Star sized hole in the wonderful Star Wars story.
Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy should be dragged to the streets and shot for the sin against Star Wars that Dark Empire is.
First and foremost, the story is horrible. The only thing they got right is that Leia is pregnant, everything else is utter nonsense.
Second, they were completely off portraying the characters. Han is prissy and treats his best friend Chewie like dirt, Luke is WAY too intense, C3PO was crying about Artoo's safety in every frame, Han's friends from Nal Hutta....are just plain wrong, Boba Fett is back some how and has completely lost all of his skills, the Emperor is alive again and lives in clones, I could go on and on about how bad the characters are represented.
The only almost saving grace is the drawings. They look nice, but some things are just WAY off. They have a probe droid that is about the size of a Corvette...a hunter killer...give me a break. They are completely off on the character drawings as well. The covers are right, but open them up, and the characters look completely wrong.
All in all, this "book" was EXTREMELY disappointing. I plan on burning them this weekend so no one else will get duped into owning these copies.
Well-Done Radio Drama.......2007-07-23
I may be part of a very small group people who actually enjoyed Dark Empire (I) but I thought that overall it was a fun and engaging Star Wars story, particularly when presented as a radio drama, which is the format that I purchased it in. The story essentially revolves around Emperor Palpatine's resurrection and emergence as leader of the remnants of the Empire 6 years after "Return of the Jedi" and approximately a year after the events chronicled in Timothy Zahn's "Thrawn Trilogy". The story also focuses on Luke's decision to "ally" himself with the Emperor in order to destroy him and his new war machines known as "World Devastators" which the Emperor uses to attack the world of Mon Calamari, Admiral Ackbar's homeworld and a key member of the Rebel Alliance/New Republic, and Han and Leia's (accompanied by Chewbacca, C3PO, and some of Han's old smuggling buddies) efforts to rescue Luke, who they fear is slowly becoming consumed by the Dark Side of the Force. The radio drama utilizes John Williams' signature Star Wars music and sound effects from the films, as well as boasting a full cast of voice actors to portray the various characters. Unfortunately, Billy Dee Williams is the only actor to reprise his role from the movies but the rest of the cast credibly resemble the original actors and actresses and do a good job in their portrayal of the rest of the characters. It is really like listening to an old-fashioned radio serial. As for the actual story, having a supervillain genius come back to life after being apparently killed may seem a tad cliche' but knowing about the powers that the Emperor claimed to possess in "Revenge of the Sith", it is not too much of a stretch to believe that he might have actually been able to figure out a way to really "cheat" death. His resurrection provides an opportunity for another confrontation between Luke and the Emperor without the presence of Anakin/Vader. Such a deux ex machina does seem to diminish the importance of what happened in "Return of the Jedi" somewhat but then again the same could be said of the entire legion of "Expanded Universe" stories that have been written that take place after "Return of the Jedi". There are a few important plot developments that occur during the story, most notably the (temporary) eviction of the Rebel Alliance/New Republic from Coruscant, Leia's second pregnancy, her acquisition of a Lightsaber from an old Jedi Knight who had apparently ran away and hid from the Empire during its "purge", and the return of Boba Fett who was (also) thought to have been killed off in "Return of the Jedi" (which makes for one of the most memorable scenes in the program). Luke's "turn" to the Dark Side of the Force is not extremely convincing and becomes somewhat confusing towards the end. Was the Emperor controlling him or had he really become evil? It's never made quite clear, although that may be the result of the format more than anything else. Since the writers presumably wanted him to remain a "good" character for future stories, I was not surprised that Luke did not do anything extraordinarily "evil" other than use the force a bit aggressively towards Han when he and Leia show up in front of him and the Emperor but then again Luke never quite "fools" the Emperor either as his efforts to sabotage the Emperor's plans apparently does not go unnoticed by him at all. The dialogue in the story is pretty decent although it does occasionally get a bit trite and repetitive, especially with the Emperor constantly cackling about "the power of the dark side" and it sometimes seems as though the writers desperately wanted to cram a lot of memorable lines from the original movies into the radio drama but, despite the occasional cheesiness of the dialogue (which I'm inclined to forgive because all of the movies had some level of cheesiness), I still enjoyed listening to the program. I understand that there were two additional "Dark Empire" stories created that I have yet to read/listen to but, frankly, "Dark Empire I" really seems to wrap everything up nicely. Why they chose to continue on with the storyline and having the Emperor return AGAIN is beyond me and, judging from the reviews of the other one, it appears that the results were mixed at best. I may yet purchase Dark Empire II out of sheer curiosity but I feel that Dark Empire I can stand on its own. Overall, I would highly recommend the radio drama version of Dark Empire I for anybody whom enjoys the Star Wars series.
In The Words Of Borat... NIIIICE!.......2007-07-11
Considering it's a story from the Dark Horse Comic Book, I was very impressed. Made me feel like I was listening to one of those old time radio shows. Sound Effects and voice acting were all great! Some of the visuals you get in your head from listening don't match what's really going on, but that's one of the joys of building the picture with your minds eye. All and All, if you're a star wars fan and just want a good relaxing story to listen to... there you go!
Suck Empire.......2007-05-22
I bought the original 6-issue comic book series of this because I was just excited that Star Wars was continuing. But unlike the Thrawn Trilogy which was overall pretty cool, this comic was aweful!
Instead of creating interesting new Star Wars villains, it actually resurrected two characters that Lucas killed off in Return of the Jedi: The Emperor and Boba Fett. How unoriginal.
And now the Emperor's ressurection contradicts the movie saga as a whole, because for Palpatine to transfer his essence to a clone body, his identity would have had to have been maintained after his death - a feat that only Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda and Anakin could accomplish because Lucas said that power is based on extreme love which is impossible for a Sith to experience. And yes, Lucas has stated on his offical website that in his vision of Star Wars, Boba Fett dies in the Sarlaac.
The story is childish and rediculous. After Thrawn's defeat in the Last Command, somehow the Empire becomes stronger and takes over Coruscant - a feat that the Grand Admiral failed in? Yeah right. And after Luke's triumph over the Palpatine by resisting the Dark Side in Return of the Jedi, the ressurected Emperor would even believe that Luke now wanted to cross over to the Dark Side? Sure.
And if all of that wasn't bad enough, the artwork is absolutely horrible!
Instead of this, I highly recommend the following 5-star novels that do not contradict the movies:
Cloak of Deception (Star Wars)
Shadow Hunter (Star Wars: Darth Maul)
Labyrinth of Evil (Star Wars, Episode III Prequel Novel)
Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Shadows of the Empire (Star Wars)
The art is very interresting and intelligent and..........2007-03-18
George Lucas himself said that this was closer to his original vision for the period after the events of the films than any other comics or novels.
