This book, out of all the ones i've read by Mary Higgins Clark was the best! This one was a great example of a stay up all night and not regret it kind of book. It kept me on the edge of my seat for hours and i could not put it down. I HIGHLY recommend The Cradle Will fall, it will NOT dissapoint you.

This was without a doubt the best Mary Higgins Clark novel that I have read. I think that she deserves recognition for writing one of the best real-life mystery stories to be published in the last decade. This book entertains as well as makes you think. Suspensefull to the very end. I stayed up all night just to finish it. A truly amazing book.

This book is totally awesome. I have never read one of her books, and let me tell you I'm not stopping now. Remember Me is suspenseful and I couldn't put it down. I was gasping after every chapter. The plot of a young woman just losing her little boy and trying to be strong makes you want to give her a big hug and say "Everything will be okay." Mary Higgins Clark gets you so into the story you feel you know the characters "like a book." The entire book is awesome and everyone should read it. The twist at the end makes it all worth while. If you're a first time reader of Mary Higgins Clark you'll turn into her number one fan. I know I am now.

Once again, Mary Higgins Clark creates a new psychological thriller through Remember Me, an engaging tale of suspense revolving around the condemnation of a young mother. Step by step, she captures the legend of Cape Cod with the rising tides of terror and the grip of menace that hover over its inhabitants. Menley Nichols, the young wife of a high-profile criminal defense attorney has never stopped blaming herself for the accident that cause the death of her two-year-old son Bobby. As the aftermath, her marriage to her husband Adam, starts to fall apart, but the birth of their precious daughter Hannah promises a new life for them in the Remember House Adam rented at Cape Cod. Nonetheless, strange incidents start to occur__incidents that make Menley relive the horror of the accident and make her fear for Hannah. Again, Menley and Adam are drawn into a dark and entangled web of lies that threatens to shatter their marriage, and foreboding events that disrupts the seemingly peaceful town of Cape Cod. Among them, an Alzheimer's victim, a teenage baby-sitter, a suspect of murder, a flamboyant woman with a link to the suspect, and an attractive real estate agent who belong to Adam's past on the Cape. Who is the menace? Remember Me is another of my favorite novel by Mary Higgins Clark. Unlike Loves Music, Loves to Dance, by Mrs. Clark, Remember Me focus itself on the bitterness of Menley and Adam's marriage that was terrorize by a sinister force rather than the puzzle of the killer's identity. This furthers the complication as well as the fragility of their relationship, and provides a deeper meaning of marriage. As incidents after incidents occur, the story rises to an electrifying climax that led one's heart to a wrenching stop. I recommend this novel to anyone who wants to try a riveting tale of suspense.

Mary Higgins Clark knows how to write a book that you just can't put down. Her style is to cut rapidly from one character to the next, which can make you a little crazy, but hey--that's what keeps you in suspense, right? Three mysteries in one here--1. Did Scott Covey kill his wealthy wife or didn't he? 2. Is Menley Nichols going crazy over the death of her little boy or is someone trying to make her cuckoo? 3. What really happened between the captain and his wife, who lived in the beautiful old house that Menley and Adam are trying to make a fresh start in? Everything's important here--including the trip Menley's mom is on in Europe. The last page made me smile. Hope you like it, too. .

I think that Mary Higgins Clark's novel, "I'll Be Seeing You", is great. I have read several of her books, but I found this one to be the best. I really enjoy Clark's style of writing. Throughout reading this book there were times when I thought I had the plot all figured out, but it turns out that the plot only thickens. The plot involves a television newsreporter known as Meghan Collins who is covering a story of a victim who has been stabbed. When Meghan sees the girl's face she is terrified by how much the victim resembles her and becomes determined to pursue the incident. Meghan's life is filled with tragedy when her father, Edwin Collins, is believed to have died in an accident which occurred on Tappan Zee bridge. Unfortunately, they are unable to find his body or any remains which belong to Mr. Collins. The fact that they are unable to issue a death certificate affects Meghan's mother, Catherine, who falls into debt and is worried about keeping up the family inn. When the people of the town become aware of the fact that Edwin had withdrawn substantial amounts of money the day before the accident, many people became suspicious of him as being a murder suspect. Meghan is out in search to save her father's name while covering a story on the Manning Clinic. A clinic where in vitro fertilization is performed. Throughout the many aspects that Meghan has uncovered she has been forced to change her way of living. I personally enjoyed reading this book because of the suspense throughout the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in mystery and suspense.

Mary Higgens Clark, how do you do it?!?! I loved this book, "I'll Be Seeing You" because it was very adventerous and so compelling! The book is about a young TV reporter named Meg Collins. It starts out with Meg reporting a story of a stabbed victem and finds that the girl who was stabbed looks shockingly like Meg herself! All while this is going on, the police are trying to solve the mystery of Meg's father, who supposedly died in a tragic car crash on a bridge, and went over the edge into the water. Sure, that doesn't sound like a mystery, but the thing is the police never found the car or the body in the water. Meg and her mother are trying to convince themselves that "yes, he did die in that car crash" and "no, he wasn't living a double life"- which the police think he was living a double life. When they figure out the truth it will deffinitly shock you! You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time you're reading this book, and you'll never want to put it down until you finish it!

I read the novel I'll Be Seeing You by Mary Higgins Clark. The book went into detail about how a man named Edwin Collins led a secret life for over twenty years. Mary Higgins Clark did an excellent job of describing the details of why he did this and how his family coped with his dissappearance. While all this was happening, she wrote about someone getting murdered and a fraud in a doctors file. This added a great thrill to the story and made it a page turner from the start. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes a murder mystery from The Queen of Suspense. It was a wonderful novel in which Mary Higgins Clark showed her exquisite writing style while including an enteresting flare to a murder mystery.

Do you like mystery? Do you like suspense? Do you enjoy books that you can't put down? How about books with all sorts of twists and turns? If you do read "Weep No More My Lady" by Mary Higgins Clark. This book includes all of the traits listed above. "Weep No More My Lady" is very well written. You never know what to expect. "Weep No More My Lady" is about Leila LaSalle, a famous movie star who is murdered. The suspect of the murder is the victim's fiancee. The story is about the suspect's defense and how he prepares a testimony. At the same time the prosecution is putting together their case. All the suspects are Leila LaSalle's personal, close friends. While you are reading the book you also begin to catch on to all of Leila LaSalle's friends motives to kill her. While each side is getting ready for the trial both sides begin to find out more information than they would have liked too. All of Leila's friends become suspects of the murder and candidates for the next victim. The worst aspect of the book is it takes a while for the story to really pick up. That's because the author has to build up the story. Be sure to keep reading because once it picks up it's great. The best aspect is you can't put this book down once that happens. This book really makes you think, are your friends really your friends? In "Weep No More My Lady" anything is possible. Another great aspect is Mary Higgins Clark makes you fell like you are there. She makes it possible to visualize everything. "Weep No More My Lady" is excellent.

This is truly one of Mary Higgins Clark's best mystery novels, that centers around Elizabeth Lange, in desperate search for some inner peace after her sister's murder. Her sister, Leila, became a model after she and Elizabeth left their abusive parents home at a young age. Leila soon became a movie star and married the wealthy Ted. However, one day after an argument with her husband, she is found dead. The police at first label her death as a suicide, but soon her husband is their number one suspect. Weeks before Elizabeth has to go to trial to testify against Ted, she is invited by a dear, old friend to an exclusive spa where the rich and famous go to find relaxation and seclusion from the public eye. There, she finds that close friends of Leila are also at the spa. She soon has her doubts about Ted being the murderer. During her stay at the spa, other people's lives are in danger, including hers. Who really killed Leila and why? Was it really Ted, as she first suspected, or was it someone else who was close to Leila? Read and find out.

Weep No More, My Lady is as good as the rest of the novels written by Mary Higgins Clark. It is filled with the same suspenseful elements needed to keep readers on the edge of their seats. You will notice yourself wanting to read the book nonstop, never getting bored with the same old plot. This novel is a who-done-it that keeps its readers guessing on who the enemy is. You will find yourself racing to finish the book because the suspense never ends. Mary Higgins Clark novels get a person motivated to read. Once you start, you can't stop until you've reached the conclsion. This book will have you asking so many questions. "How will it end?" "Who killed Leila?" "Will Elizabeth make it til the end of the novel or will her sister's murderer get her too?" No matter who you are, I think you will enjoy not only this novel, but any novels written by the talented "Queen of Suspense" Mary Higgins Clark. If you like drama, suspense, or mystery, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!

Comparing this judge's writing with John Grisham's (I've seen it on these very pages) is like saying hummingbirds and ostriches are both birds. Alright, if you insist on pigeon-holing let me say a wry blend of distilled Another Roadside Attraction and The Crying of Lot 49, but that's just me. This book is an original and so is the marvelous writer. The odyssey to the "religious or spiritual or something" takes many an odd twist and turn including some of the best writing I've ever encountered on getting stoned and having hangovers as well as losing it for a while. The only comparison to Confederacy of Dunces, a book I also love, is that both make you laugh out loud. Here let the book speak for itself: "How did this happen?" Evers wondered. Two weeks ago, on his way to work, he had seen Ruth Esther English for the first time, a hazy, dim hungover day of entropy that started in another bathroom amd ended when he...(read it)" pp64-65. This book has renewed my faith in living to become beatific. It is a first-rate cosmic journey.

I define a good book or good movie as one which will linger in your mind for days after you have finished it. Accordingly, I found this work very satisfying; in fact, I would describe it as one of the best crafted I've read in quite a while.

Despite what the title suggests, this is not a tale of poor white trash in the Daniel Woodrell genre, nor a stereotypically eccentric "southern" adventure. While comparisons with "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" will be made, Mr. Clark's skillful shaping of this complex mystery is comparable to the talent of David Guterson in "Snow Falling on Cedars", albeit with a Hunter Thompsonese backdrop. In other words, Mr. Clark is gifted with his own distinct style.

I typically pass up mysteries; however, this one had me rivetted, and was so clever and intriguing that I resisted the urge to skim ahead despite the urge to discover the outcome. With each new, unanticipated, but cleverly foreshadowed, twist I became that much more impressed with the author.

This story of a restless, jaded, young judge from a comfortable background for whom professional advancement came too easily and has proved unsatisfying will strike a cord with yuppie readers. Clark creatively represents the ennui of a segment of this privileged, good natured, social strata and the resulting self destructiveness . The book dexterously weaves waste, cynicism, corruption, spirituality, and redemption in a fasinating tale. The book would be flawless if author had invested more time in refining the last fifth of the book. Unfortunately the somewhat surrealistic conclusion almost seems to rush into a happy ending that is not consistent with the skillfully crafted passages which precede it.

This is a fine work, one the most distinctive I have read in recent years. I would (and will) strongly recommend it.

Part legal thriller, part humor, and even a bit spiritual, "The Many Aspects..." is a very smooth and relaxing read.

Circuit court judge Evers Wheeling finds himself, his pot smoking, heavy drinking brother and friends on a cross-country journey from N.C. to Utah to retrieve a hidden treasure. The treasure comes by the way of a mystical woman who cries pearly tears, Ruth Esther English. She promises a part of the fortune to Evers if he will drop her brother's case when he appears in court before him. Prompted by a sense of the wealth and a sense of adventure, Evers agrees.

As the group sets off to retrieve the treasure they are joined by Ruth Esther's almost militant-like, black lawyer Pauletta. Some of the books funniest moments occur when the conservative, southern-bred Evers and Pauletta trade barbs.

The treasure, stolen drug money, is also found to include a mysterious letter that Ruth Esther goes to any length necessary to keep to herself. Curious about the content of the letter and the mysterious tears that Ruth Esther produces (which they believe are wish-bearing and build a shrine for) the group sets out to find the truth behind it all. In doing so and as their wishes come true, they reveal hidden and truths and feelings about themselves that they didn't even know existed.

It may seem weird, but while reading this book I was taken in by a sense of tranquility. Clark has a very calm and soothing way of writing. Instead of the sudden and abrupt plot twists and turns associated with thrillers, the "go with the flow", almost melting-like writing is like a breath of fresh air. Although containing no real edge-of-your-seat, nail biting theatrics, there is plenty of suspense and intrique to keep the reader thouroughly engrossed.

Joe Lansdale is one of my top ten favorite authors. His short stories are creative, startling, frightening, gruesome etc. (read High Cotton or Electric Gumbo). However, I have always felt that Lansdale's novels fell short of the mark. He has a tremendous imagination and is able to come up with the most macabre of settings and events which work to his advantage in stories and novellas, but haven't worked so well in the novels. It is hard to create a totally outlandish world and keep the reader's interest through the length of a novel.

In The Bottoms Lansdale scales back his fondness for the bizarre--and it works. This is a beautifully crafted story of Depression era East Texas. And this is a story that the reader feels actually could have happened. Lansdale belnds in some supernatural aspects along the way, but these add to the suspense rather than distract from the realism.

Another aspect that works is the method for telling the story. The protagonist is an 11 year old boy (Harry)--just the right age for this type of story. Harry is at the cusp of young adulthood. He struggles with looking for answers through his waning belief in the supernatural (Goat Man) and searching for the truth through a common sense approach like his daddy (the small town constable). But what really works is the fact that Harry tells his story some 60 or 70 years later from a rest home. I believe that it is extremely difficult for an author to tell the story of a child through the eyes of that child. Eleven year olds talk and think differently than adults and most times we get stories where the child telling the story sounds very much like a 40 year old--to me that detracts from the tone of the book. In this case, Harry can sound like an adult, because he is an adult retelling a tale of his childhood. It is very effective.

Otherwise, Lansdale takes on the themes of poverty, racism and evil and sheds some light on each. Hands down this is Lansdale's best effort at a novel...so far.

Edgar first prizewinner Lansdale delivers the goods. He is a masterful storyteller nailing time, place, and people with bulls-eye accuracy. The narrative and dialogue flow, and the pace never flags. He captures the child's eye view with all the authority of Stephen King or Harper Lee.

Harry is an honorable boy caught in a dark story of racism, death, and folklore. The events gradually close in on him and his family creating an almost unbearable suspense. The characterizations are sharp and multi-layered. I particularly liked the non-message in dealing with racism. Mr. Lansdale is an unblinking recorder; all the indignities and intricacies are out there with no apology; for we are hearing a story as it was, not as we would like it to be.

"The Bottoms" transcends the mystery genre. It is a particularly fine coming-of-age story. Yet mystery-thriller fans will not be disappointed. Harry's and sister Tom's search and confrontation of the killer stretch the suspense until you feel as if you are humming like an overtaxed wire.

I would rate this book the best I have read this year, and it has a permanent place on my bookshelf. Highly recommended.

I've been reading Joe Lansdale for just over ten years now, and I think this is just about the best book he's ever written. I picked up "The Drive In" when I was about sixteen, and I've been hooked by his terrific writing and his great senses of humor and story ever since.

If you've never read anything by Joe Lansdale, you're missing out on a truly unique, authentic American writer. It's true you probably need a strong stomach to make it through an average Joe Lansdale novel, but I think it's also true that you need a sharp sense of humor which enjoys being tickled, a sensitive soul and a hightened appreciation for the poetic in everyday life. Joe delivers on all of these fronts. He's like no other author I've read. He's a little bit like Mark Twain, he's a little bit like Stephen King, and something like Harper Lee. But that comparison only works if you put all of those in a blender and hit puree.

In "The Bottoms," Lansdale, who is a master of the folkilsy-gruesome character-driven story, charts some new territory. Not geographically--this one takes place, like most of his other tales, and like his real life, in East Texas--but rather stylistically.

Ever since reading my first Lasndale book I've been a huge fan. His writing is always exretemely fluid. It just makes you feel like writing must be one of the most natural human activities, like walking or breathing or taking a long drink of water when your throat feels like sandpaper. But in this book, Lansdale seems to have tightened the linguistic screws a few notches. Not only is the writing fluid and fun to read, but it is of a consistently excellent quality. Before "The Bottoms" I probably would have only recommended Joe Lansdale to people who have a taste for the weird. If you've seen "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" more than once for example, I know you'd like Joe Lansdale. He's an excellent writer, but that's the kind of taste you have to have, at least on part of your palate, to appreciate him.

The style and characterization in "The Bottoms" just blew me away. There are four excellent books that I was reminded of while reading this: "To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee, "The Green Mile," by Stephen King, "Huckleberry Finn," by Mark Twain and "Montana 1948" by Larry Watson. If you've read and enjoyed any of those books, please do yourself a favor and read Joe Lansdale's "The Bottoms." Even if you haven't read any of those others, read this one (and then go read those also).

The only real complaint I had about this book was that the mystery was a little too easy to figure out. That almost didn't matter, though, because I was having such a good time with the writing and the characters.

One other thing was that all of the narrator's similies are mouth-wateringly food related. This become a little trying after a while, especially if you haven't eaten for a few hours. I half expected to find out at the end that the young protagonist had grown up to be a chef. I thought that would have been great.

An excellent read, though. Well done, Joe! Keep up the good work!

If you like the feel and style of this book, I also reccomend the music of guitarist John Hiatt, particularly his latest CD, "Crossing Muddy Waters." I got to know this CD at the same time I was reading this book, and they blended together very nicely in my imagination.

A friend recommended Tormented Without A Trace and said you have to read this. I was not disappointed. The mixture of fantasy and reality made this book stand out above the Mary Higgins Clark or Danielle Steele novels out there. Tormented moves quickly and deals with real life issues that we all want to think don't exist. Fatal attractions, bad decisions, bad parenting, relationships gone awry. I highly recommend it.

how many other women suffer in silence from scars of childhood emotional injuries like Natalie. This book delves deep into the heart of a woman filled with scary demons from her past that is so real it gives you chills. An accurate an honest portrayal of an all too common circumstance. Every man with a daugther should read this.

I bought several "Tormented" books for friends and family and since an extra was laying around, I picked it up again. Valerie Clark still kept me on the edge of my seat and I found that I enjoyed the book as much, if not more, the second time around. I just want more...Valerie, when's the next one coming out?

Seems like great film-material...hope to see it on the big screen.

Second read reminded me that this is great summer/beach reading for all folks looking for a good page-turner.

As a New Yorker and former Wall Street exec myself, I enjoyed the clever adaptations to fiction as well as the true-to-life scenarios.

I was in the U.S. Navy for 22 years, stationed at Long Beach before I retired. I can say that this book is as accurate a representation of Navy life as I have ever seen. During my time in the Navy, I deployed to all of the places mentioned in this book, including Subic Bay (the Philippines) and Okinawa in Japan. This book is a realistic account of what went on historically in those places. Tho I also think that his book works on levels of symbolism too. Because what he's saying isn't true just about the Navy. It is true about life. Whenever you have an individual in an institution, there's a tension between that person's individuality and the needs and demands of the institution. It's unfortunate but usually the institution wins. I like this book because in this instance it's the main character who has the last laugh. I would highly reccommend this book to anybody. It is a great read just as a story, in addition to what it is trying to say about human society.

ONE OF THE GUYS is a deeply symbolic, satirical novel that I don't think can be read just on the surface level. This is a book that's for people who are interested in the MEANING of a work of literature, not just the surface stuff like the plot or the "vulgarity" of certain recorded speech. If the Massachusetts reader thinks that the "greatness" of a work of literature depends on having a low incidence of 4-letter words, then she should go back to reading romance novels and not bother her head with a serious work ever again. This book is beautifully written, studded with stunning passages. Does it contain documentary descriptions of naval officers? Who cares? The Florida reader sounds like the kind of guy who would read "Animal Farm" and think it was about horses and pigs! He doesn't seem to understand that in the genre of satire, hyperbole and irony are used in order to make the author's points. I don't think the characters in this book are supposed to represent naval officers, I think the author is trying to say something about humanity and human organizations. But I don't think you'll understand all of that if you just read it on the surface level like some empty-headed Tom Clancy novel or something. Just my opinion.

As a woman, my initial concern that One of the Guys might be too testosterone-driven for me to relate to have turned out to be completely exaggerated. I have been reading this book and am every bit as engaged in the final chapters as I was on page one. Marvelous. Truly marvelous. I am enjoying this reading experience on SO many levels, with none of the complaints I usually have about the bulk of fiction out there today. Young writes beautifully, but not pompously. The characters he has created are fleshed out and every bit as complex and challenging as people you might meet face-to-face. Moreover, he gives his characters an actual PLOT to function within, and provides them with intriguing moral and social challenges to grapple with. Too much of fiction leaves me with this hungry, unfulfilled feeling, wondering whether the time invested in reading the thing was really worth it. This book leaves me wanting for nothing. If Robert Clark Young's unpublished novels are anything approaching this caliber, it is a crime that it took this long for one of them to be published.

While I've been appreciative of Coleman and Clark's older works, I felt this book dwelled too much on the personalities involved in the field of cryptozoology. Seriously how many works in similar fields devote so much space to the people active in their fields? Do you open an encyclopedia of meteorology and read about famous (and non-famous) meteorologists? No.

Too much of the book is devoted to cryptozoologists, both famous and rather obscure. There are pictures of virtual unknowns in the book who have virtually no serious scholarly work on cryptids and whose only virtue is having operated a web site and interviewed a few local yokels. These people compare with individuals such as Sanderson and Heuvelmans? No and they don't deserve to share the space.

It's my feeling that a lot of the name dropping in this book is nothing but that, and while the part of the book actually devoted to cryptozoological mysteries is worthwhile, it's sometimes spoiled by the frequent references to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Nobody.

Coleman's writing skills are put to test in a vast but rather scanty book that covers almost every aspect of cryptozoology. While Mothman and company are left out, Coleman gives plenty of coverage on phantom felines, out of place and oversized reptiles, and of course, the infamous Bigfoot. Other mystery primates are also covered in this book. This is just a sample of the sort of material you will find inside the pages of Crypto A to Z.

Unfortunatly, if you are looking for vast coverage of specific sugbject, you should look else where. This book serves only as an introduction to the basics on what sorts of mysterious critters are or are not roaming around America and other parts of the world. And just that makes you really question people and books like this one. If there really are huge cats, werewolves, giant ape-men, hairy humanoids, "devil monkies" and sea serpents running around, why have they remained hidden in a modern, scientific world with more than six billion human inhabitants?

In their most recent collaborative effort, "Cryptozoology A to Z: The Encyclopedia of Loch Monsters, Sasquatch, Chupacabras, and Other Authentic Mysteries of Nature", authors Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark have shed a much-needed light on an often misunderstood field and its personalities.

At once both compelling and fascinating in its detail and broad scope of coverage, "Cryptozoology A-Z" is destined to become the spark which kindles the imagination of a whole new generation of inquisitive minds. With biographies of the giants and not so giant in the field, past and present, as well as descriptions of cryptids both well-known and obscure this book is a fascinating tribute to an often maligned scientific realm.

It will surely be frequently referenced for years to come. Bravo.

I would love Sidney Sheldon's books if he would take his time in writing more in depth of the characters and stuff. However, I did enjoy this book ~~ it's not my typical read anymore ~~ as I've read his books in high school. I haven't read this one and the mystery surrounding the three doctors at a big San Francisco hospital is a gripping read.

Dr. Paige Taylor, an ambitious heart surgeon wanna-be is accused of murder when she inherited a million dollars. Dr. Kat Turner and Dr. Honey Taft are filled with secrets of their own. While Paige fights for her life in court, the story spins unraveling the secrets of events that happened the previous year ~~ and the reader gets a closer glimpse of Paige and her roommates.

Looking for an exciting read with murder, suspense and mystery and romance? This book has it all! Despite the gritty writing, it is an enthralling read. I couldn't put the book down after a few chapters ~~ I just had to know what happened!

Sidney Sheldon is not the same anymore. His latest books are not up to his real standard. That's not what happens with this 1994 wonderful book, though.

The plot, wonderfully conceived, is a real thriller of suspense. The characters, the very well-developed three main characters, are just as funny and smart as your best friend. And actually this is the kind of feeling you get from the three doctors you have the chance to meet on this book.

From beginning to end, Sidney Sheldon hooks you until the very end! That's the kind of book you read, read, read and want it never to end, and, when it does, you miss a lot the places and people you've met. It's the kind of story that remains on your mind for many years. The kind of book you tell everyone to read, and that everyone just can't help but read and adore. That's what you feel when you read the books by Sidney Sheldon. And that one is one of his best works!

Marco Aurelio.

Sidney Sheldon, especially his earlier work, is one of my favorite authors. I could not put this book down when I read it. I loaned it to 3 other women friends who also said the same thing. It is about women resident doctors. It involves their trials and tribulations during this period of time in a soap opera type lifestyle. It has a suprise ending, which Sheldon usually has in his books. I recommend it for the reading enthusiast that wants to "escape" for a while.
