"And, soon, you'll be hungry again."

This is a deeply moving novel written in a beautifully picture3sque style.  We suffer with the main character, and we experience joy with her.  We also experience the horrors that are only hinted at until the final portion of the book.  The pace is slow. luxurious at times, and frustrating at times, but always in such a way to stir the appropriate emotion from the reader.  It's a story of survival, of hope, and of painful memories.  And it's a story you'll remember long after reading the book.

It's Bond. Apply the usual trigger warnings about what was unacceptable then and isn't now. Yes, it's awful but trust me, people will read the popular books of our time and quiver in distaste.

However...

 I'm not being at all ironic or dismissive when I say I'm reading it for the food. Yes, there's sex and violence, but come on, the food! A  catalog of retro dishes described with all the lust and desire you'd expect from the days of post-war rationing. I really want some caviar now, and hot buttered toast.

For me, reading this story was like a three course meal. First you get the starter salad which tastes good because you're hungry but it really just holds you off until the main entre. Once you get the main entre you devour it because its so tasty, but you're kind of ready for dessert. Then you get the dessert at the end which perfectly complements the meal you just ate. And you leave the restaurant knowing you're gonna come back for the second and third books.

It was definitely like the way I remembered it the first time I tried these cookies on the plane home from France -- delicious, tasty, and so addicting.  The next time I order, I sure hope it does not take 3 weeks for them to get to me.

So, the thought process by the immediate gratification purchaser is that I won't need to eat out because these recipes will taste the same or better. They may but the reality is we like takeout because we don't want to cook difficult recipes. This book is full of recipes that take a lot of time and energy (not to mention ingredients).

If you're just looking for similar taste this cookbook is for you as I'm certain the recipes are tasty.

Have you ever walked in to your favorite restaraunt and settled comfortably in your seat, prepared to order your usual dish-only to be tempted by other, less familiar entrees?  You debate back and forth between the familiar and that "new kid on the block."  The picture is so appealing, not to mention the accompanying description that literally sets your mouth to watering.  After some debate, you decide to risk it and you order something that you have never tried before.  You wait impatiently for the server to return, anxious and excited to sample this new delicacy.  Finally, the moment arrives and the server places a hot, aromatic dish in front of you and you throw caution to the wind and dive right in.  Then, you chew.  You ponder.  You chew some more. It has all the right ingredients, but it has lost something in the preparation.  Perhaps the chef should have added a spice here, a seasoning there. Maybe he should have cooked it just a little while longer.  You finish the meal, but you have lost some of your furvor in the process.  It is just not what you thought it was going to be.
This is how I felt when I read "April Witch".  The review in People magazine was enough to make me run out and buy the book, in hardcover no doubt. I started it that evening, but was soon disillusioned. The story line showed great potential, and the characters were certainly developed and memorable.  Although it moved along a little too slowly, I stayed with the book because it was "just good enough" that I wanted to finish it. The author, however, left me hanging.  I kept waiting for a "climax" that never came. It had "all the right ingredients", but was lacking something.  The next time, I'll order my usual.

BEST PART OF THE BOOK:
Esther has forgotten her date w/Lopez & announces he's going to training for two weeks. Banter ensues:
"So you were planning to wine and dine me tonight, get me into bed, and then abandon me for two weeks?"
"That was the plan," he admitted.
"I'm pretty sure that makes you a cad" I told him.
He grinned. "I'm coming back. I just wante...d to mark my territory before I go."
"Mark your territory?"
"A woman who could forget I was coming over tonight might forget me completely in two weeks...unless I make a strong enough impression."

This really works!  I have been doing this for a few months!  It makes sense!  You are not hungry.  You get to eat real food and you have choices.  If you follow the plan, you will lose!!  I can't wait for SUPER SHRED to come out!!!

This little 'teaser' whets our appetites for a full-length 'meal' -- let's hope that Emitt can fill us soon with more such tasty treats!  In the meantime, I'll keep on playing his earlier albums, but with a growing awareness that there is so much more to hear and enjoy!
