Commentary Toward Books My Brother Michael

ONLY A MOMENT BEFORE Camilla Haven is on holiday alone, and wishes for some excitement. She had been sitting quietly in a crowded Athens cafe writing to her friend Elizabeth in England, "Nothing ever happens to me..." Then, without warning, a stranger approached, thrust a set of car keys at her and pointed to a huge black touring car parked at the curb. "The car for Delphi, mademoiselle... A matter of life and death," he whispered and disappeared. From that moment Camilla's life suddenly begins to take off when she sets out on a mysterious car journey to Delphi in the company of a charming but quietly determined Englishman named Simon Lester. Simon told Camilla he had come to the ancient Greek ruins to "appease the shade” of his brother Michael, killed some fourteen years earlier on Parnassus. From a curious letter Michael had written, Simon believed his brother had stumbled upon something of great importance hidden in the craggy reaches of the mountainside. And then Simon and Camilla learned that they were not alone in their search... The ride was Camilla's first mistake... or perhaps she had unintentionally invoked the gods. She finds herself in the midst of an exciting, intriguing, yet dangerous adventure. An extraordinary train of events turned on a nightmare of intrigue and terror beyond her wildest daydreams.

Criticize About Books My Brother Michael

Adore Mary Stewart's romantic suspense novels and the fact that this one is set in Greece just adds to the overall enjoyment. Enough has already been said about the plot, so no point in going over the same ground.Mary Stewart to this day remains such a bankable author. You know that you will find interesting characters, a gentler romance, and an excellent mystery/suspense component. "Vintage" but it just adds to the overall charm of the novels.

3.5 stars. Mary Stewart's books are always enjoyable to read because of her sheer skill with words, with creating a you-are-there atmosphere and a compelling first-person narration. I think, though, that My Brother Michael is my least favorite of those I've read so far, in terms of the story itself. The backstory is intriguing, but the crimes and their perpetrators seem more harsh and sordid than usual, the climax more violent. Also, I wasn't as keen on the Greek setting and mythology that forms

Group read with the Mary Stewart group.I still give this 4.5 stars. I enjoyed this reread just as much the second time around, despite all the tossed cigarette butts. I liked how Camilla was just coming out of her shell after 6 years of living in someone else's shadow. Of course Mary Stewart's description of Delphi and the surrounding area is wonderful. There is some serious suspense and danger in this one and some really bad guys. I also liked that Simon was on a quest to find out what happened

Update:Better reading experience this time around, due to the fact that I had my own new Chicago Press edition and didn't have to rely on the library's old, musty, tattered copy. No hazmat suits needed, and this copy smells as a book should :DOh and yeah, the story is another hit outta the park by Stewart.Original Review:Mary Stewarts, My Brother Michael, was a singularly interesting reading experience for me, to say the least.I received the old, tattered copy from my library sporting a

This was good.Nope, can't leave it at that.So--I enjoyed this a lot, particularly Stewart's amazing descriptions. But in the end, it felt a little forgettable, despite having possibly the highest body count in any Stewart novel. (I could be wrong. I haven't read all of them. But there are a lot of deaths.) I think some of the disconnect between me and the book is attributable to the romantic subplot being very downplayed. And the thing is, it should be downplayed. The two main characters barely

I do not know how many times I've read this book but it continues to hold a certain charm for me. Perhaps it recalls the thrill I felt the first time I read it in my early teens, or perhaps it is the old stlye it is written in, or perhaps it is because it is a mystery that ends happily... in any case I expect I will be reading it again in a few years so I can revisit Greece, climb through ruins, solve a mystery, and discover that I can do more than I thought at the outset.
