Even through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth-all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost?

Really enjoyed the discussion. Thanks for doing this.
I'm glad to come across this channel. This is what a book review should be.
Very interesting lady…….
Indeed she is and a fascinating writer. Consider subscribing to meet other fascinating writers.
I am so pleased that you interviewed Karl Marlantes. His book Deep River absolutely enthralled me and is the best book I have read in years. He is a great talent. I have avoided his Vietnam War novels for reasons similar to yours, but your conversation convinced me that I, too, need to tackle his other books..
So glad you enjoyoed the interview. I, too, am a great admirer of his cord!
People like to ignore and put away us veterans. It's how they justify themselves and "they're" freedoms and personal lives. I was 19 in a war zone for the first time. No one cares about that except other veterans. Not even my own family, community & neither did my ex wife friends etc. They don't care what you were ordered to do by your government. To them, it's you're problem and too bad. It's the reason why there's so many divorces and suicide among veterans. But I'm not going to kill myself for the sake of the worthless humans that I went and did my service for. My life may not be worth anything to them but it's worth something to me, and that's all that matters. Try reading about the things that we went through, you need to do that, and almost everybody needs to do that, because until they start having a heart and caring for others, they will never be able to understand us veterans. Choke down the pain and suffering you're going to read and experience, through the heart and life of those who bled for you, and witnessed horrific things. We did it for you. For everyone. It's hell living life alone where the entire world turns it's backs .
🤣 'PromoSM'
I don't know the word.
It's amazing
Thank you!
Very disappointed that there won’t be more Cornish mysteries. I truly enjoy Eleanor.
Yes. I agree. I enjoyed the Cornish mysteries, too. I liked the pace of an older detective and her mindset.
This is really funny! In Permanent Record Snowden mentions 9/11 twenty-five times. Skyscrapers have this problem of having to hold themselves up. The lower portions must be stronger than the upper portions. That means more steel. The designers had to know how much concrete was where to properly distribute the steel. Where is the Permanent Record of the tons of steel and tons of concrete on each level of the North Tower? It is not in the NCSTAR1 report. 9/11 is echoing down the century. The physics will not go away. Engineering schools should have had physical and virtual collapse models of the North Tower by January of 2005. We can simulate the climate 80 years into the future but not the collapse of a 1360 ft skyscraper? Ridiculous!
Thank you for your comment. Care to explain how Snowden's concern about surveillance relates to skyscrapers?
@@BooksbyCarolineMiller Snowden said he was motivated to protect America because of 9/11 and mentioned 9/11 25 times in his book. I have the electronic version and did the search. Protect America? The people doing the surveillance are a problem but if they cannot solve simple physics problems then surveillance isn't the only one. In 1940 it only took 4 months to model the Tacoma Narrows bridge. We can't model the North Tower in 20 years.
I get your drift. The watchers need watching.
@@BooksbyCarolineMiller What I call the Twin Towers Affair is a peculiar anomaly. Middle school kids should have no trouble understanding that skyscrapers must be stronger toward the bottom. Try finding the distribution of steel in any skyscraper in the world.
Love it Caroline ! Would like more of your waspish ( not WASP ish ! )..sense of humour though. ? Give it free rein .! Wouldn't worry about Oprah - you're in a different league .
Sorry to be so late with a reply,. Your comment escaped me tbt thank you for stopping by. Like the Oprah comment.
Watching from Kenya lots of love

A very constructive review, i really loved the book and how the writer kept it so interesting. I dont agree with Myrlin's feedback but i think she has a very good opinion on the sensual awakening of Joanna in Italy....
Thanks for you comment, Asif Khan. We love hearing what readers are thinking. We've been on the air about 5 years.
just bought it Goodwill for $1.20 well worth the money. i love skyscrapers and crime stories. i highly recommend it.
Thank you for letting us know you got a bargain. Now, your assignment is to enjoy the book.
My reading of this book was perfectly timed for my life, as I'm currently battling stage IV cancer. The main lesson, living to the fullest in each moment, is something I know I should still strive to accomplish. Many days, it's hard to find the energy. Thank you Mitch Albom for writing a beautiful book that quickly and completely makes a compelling case. This book is a great reminder of what really matters in this ever-more-hectic, uncontrollable world. I've gone from being a "Sarah" to being a "Victor" in a span of 30 years and will always appreciate the whirlwind it was. It's fantastic that I have been reminded that the great moments are still here.Check out here - amzn.to/2tvWp2v
I now have to add visiting the book store tomorrow to get acopy of this book. Hooray. Great review.
So glad you enjoyed the review. Appreciate that you took time to tell us.
Folks, we're having a little trouble with our subscribe button. Check back with us an a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience but thank you for the reports. We wouldn't have known without you.
MaryBeth, your reaction is just what the the reviewers and the author would want. Thank you for stopping by.
I found the interaction among the authors in their review would lead me to read this book. Without their cogent comments, I don't think I would want to read it.
As always, Paperbag 55, your comments are appreciated. Glad to read you check out the other reviews, too. Again, we appear about every two months with a current book for review. I believe "Light Between the Oceans," is next up. Following that will be a non-fiction, which we rarely do, called "The Memory Castle," chronicles of a daughter growing up with a schizophrenic mother.
Okay, Paperbag55, I get it. You liked the booki. So did the Pulitzer Prize committee. I respectfully disagree. Always nice to hear from you., however. Have you any comments on our other reviews?
Thank you for your honest review. I was going to pick this book for my book club but now I guess I will be running out the door. It would have been nice had the author attempted to paint some humanity into the lives of North Korean citizens. Like the characters in the book, NK people had become a tool for some guy to win a sensationalized depiction of oppressive regime.
***** Sorry, to get back to you so late Kat. Yes, I'd skip this one. I can't even say the prose style is anything but serviceable. Check out our other reviews for a possible book club selection. We publish about every 2 months. Our next will be out June 2, 2015.
Well Paperbagman, you do have the Pulitzer Prize Committee behind you. But, humor? Well, not so much for me. But I'm sorry to be getting back to you so late. You comment just showed up today. Go figure. We've got more "Just Read It Reviews up now. Maybe you'd care to comment on those and maybe we'll find there's a book we both like.
BooksbyCarolineMiller That's a positive comment, thanks! :) I understand your criticisms, i'm not saying the book is flawless, but it was my cup of tea from page 1. We have different opinions. I checked out some of your other reviews - a great idea for a show and I like the intelligent round table discussion but people need to ease up on the spoilers, especially Caroline in this video. I'm glad I read the book first before watching your review because you and the other guy kept spoiling key moments from the book. There's no need to get so heated if you loathe a book; be mindful of viewers who might just wanna read it anyway. I think your 'skip this book' system is also unfair and unnecessary. Unless you really dislike a book and find absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever how is it justified to deter others from reading it? What's wrong with giving an opinion and maybe a score at the end?
Thanks for your critique paperbagman555. The book won the some prestigious awards so you are on the side of the angels. I simply do not agree with the community judgment. "Just Read It" reviews books that are current and out for a while. Can't discuss the literary merit of a book without spoilers. We're not in the business of book promotion but I acknowledge your point. And yes, I really disliked the book and thought it had no redeeming qualities either in style, plot or message. As for the "skip this book," it's the segment most people comment upon favorably it so on that point you are in the minority. Still, diversity of opinion the name of the game. Keeping watching. We may find a book we can agree upon. Next video out June 2nd. i.
I see, well maybe you should at least put 'spoilers' in the title of your videos or put 'discussion' before 'review'. Just because something as been out for a while doesn't mean everyone's read it. I think you can definitely discuss merit without spoiling anything at all. Movie and music critics succeed at this all the time. Same with book reviewers on youtube. I'll watch your upcoming review but I hope you can ease up on the reveals a bit - all the best.
While it's grim it still has a strong sense of humour. I think this book is a masterpiece! I totally empathised with the characters. I don't think it sucks the humanity of the reader at all.
Paperbagman555 Okay. Now you have me wondering about your sense of humor :)
Wondering about what? It's called Black Humour - the best kind (imo) because it's honest. Catch-22? Amazing book that also has a grim edge to it. I think the writing in this novel is erudite and has brilliant satire. There are uplifting moments in the novel too, it's not always depressing.
