Book Description
In self-imposed exile in an ancient Flemish city, an embittered 33-year-old language tutor, Edward Manners, falls in love with his alluring 17-year-old pupil, Luc Altidore. As Edward pursues the elusive object of his infatuation--and plunges into affairs with two other men--this book interweaves past and present, history and memory, into a tapestry of unfulfillable desire.

Good, but doesn't quite live up to all of its' ambitions..........2006-09-17
I was a bit more impressed with Hollinghurst's technical skills here than engaged by the actual story, which revisits aspects of Thomas Mann's DEATH IN VENICE in far more sprawling fashion.
Hollinghurst is a nearly-brilliant writer, though the very lush prose I found to be a touch distracting. But it may be entirely approriate in a tale of an infatuated, youth-worshipping tutor slowly sliding into a highly inapproriate affair with a cherubic student who ultimately turns out to be not quite as angelic as he first would seem to be.
Hollinghurst's tale poses a number of questions which are left hanging: foremost among them would be the youth-obsessiveness in Western culture generally, and gay culture specifically. One is left wondering what the dead end of such a sensibility would be, and as this ethereal and atmospheric epic winds down, that question remains in the air, with a frustrating lack of further elaboration.
-David Alston
A love's merging of language and lust.......2006-01-13
THE FOLDING STAR tells the story of Edward Manners, a sentimentally detached man who leaves England to earn his living as a private language tutor in a Flemish city. The exquisite prose of this 1994 release delineates a man's aching melancholy and longing for love despite his odd sexual economy during the few years prior to his arrival in Belgium. Therefore, unlike the most recent, highly-acclaimed THE LINE OF BEAUTY, the novel affords a plot no more than Edward Manners's hypnotic fantasy of one of his young pupils. The 33-year-old seems to be at the emotional crossroad: he often smiles at his own sense of anticipation, of being poised for change, and is ready to fall in love. But he is not used to spending so much time with one person that he thinks of a committed relationship dreads him.
It might be love at first sight that no sooner has he met Luc than he takes an intimate fancy of him. The adoration quickly becomes a morbid infatuation that manifests into a pepperoni type of spying on the boy during his weekend excursion. He has no doubt driven Edward mad at times - he feels empty and is aching for him. The boy has affected everything Edward does to the point that he suffers without feeling afflicted. The stream of consciousness reflects Manners's despair over the unfulfilled love and the thumping of the heart. He can only console himself with other affairs to which no sentiment constitutes, other than the minimal trust of two people pleasuring themselves together, without much grasp of friendship or understanding.
THE FOLDING STAR is about the unrequited love that leaves a man constantly longing, without the prospect of ever finding love. The mixed feelings of anxious longing and fear of commitment constitute a poignant air that hovers over the novel. It delivers the message that the course of true love never runs straight. The reading reminds one of the similar sentimental nuances Henry James experiences in Colm Toibin's THE MASTER. While Henry James consciously makes it a habit to keep his affection at bay and secretly longs for the intimate companion of a man, Edward Manners always finds himself marveling at how his sudden burst of feeling has wrongfooted him. Both engage in a somnambulist journey to find love. The former lives in such vessel of loneliness and independence - in a social sphere that is pinned and stifled with rules. The latter leaves his home to escape the same constraints only to find himself trapped by his emotions. That his sex life has well petered out before he comes to Belgium is the impediment to his surrender to commitment.
THE FOLDING STAR is a stoic tale about the quest for love. Edward Manners lives among many gay men not only in the regard of the longing for a relationship but also in the sense of the nervousness, excitement, sensuality, and anxiety. One may think of the novel being made up of snapshots all these contradicting emotions that roam back and forth the character. It exquisitely depicts the nuances of affection, the anticipation for intimacy, and the desire of fulfillment of unconditional needs. Hollinghurst renders with artistry and haunting precision love's merging of language and lust.
An Sprawling and Admirable Epic .......2004-12-17
THE FOLDING STAR is a sprawling neo-Victorian achievement, full of memorable characters, breathtaking description, and graphic gay sex. At its surface the novel is the story of Edward Manners - a 40ish, drinky, and rather raunchy former academic who relocates to a small Belgian town to work as a tutor. Almost at once Edward becomes infatuated with Luc, a student. His obsession is comic, tragic, and romantic. With this as its core THE FOLDING STAR then begins to reveal a much deeper and more complex reality. The interconnectedness of various lives and histories soon begins to become apparent, with former details gaining greater significance and literary relief in this engrossing epic of obsession and taboo. This is a wonderful book though I found it a bit dry and somewhat cold...it was a book to admire rather than embrace.
A tale of obsession for the youthful beauty.......2004-11-14
Alan Hollinghurst is certainly a crafty wordsmith. This book is beautifully written.
The story is basically that of an aging gay male becoming obsessed with his beautiful young student. Edward Manners becomes the tutor for a wealthy high school aged fellow, Luc. At first Edward sees a thin immature youth but as the story progresses, Edward becomes more obsessed with Luc and the descriptions of Luc change to match Edward's changing perception. This portion of the story is well told and certainly accurately portrays the process of obsession that seduces gradually, obliterating common sense and good judgement.
Edward recognizes that he has lost his bearings when he finds himself continually thinking about Luc, spying on him when he is on holiday with his friends, imagining him having sex with other young men or women, remaining fixated as to whether Luc is gay or straight, and even leaving tutoring sessions to use the bathroom so that he can smell Luc's dirty laundry.
Hollinghurst then begins to break the bubbles or desire that Edward has created. Luc becomes more realistic and less idealized. He becomes more human and more mundane. Eventually all the questions Edward has about Luc are answered, or at least many of the questions are answered. Edward begins the painful process of healing the wounds left by obsession as Luc drifts out of his life.
I found the book to be one of the best descriptions of the natural history of obsession since Robert Plant's The Catholic. Obsession is revealed to be a wounding, out of mind experience, from which we only gradually recover. Hollingshurst caught it well in this well written book.
An Exercise in Emotional Provocation.......2000-12-08
The Folding Star was, in my opinion, one of the best books I have ever read. The writing is smooth and flawless, and the everything was beautifully and carefully constructed. Despite the fact that this book is about a controversial topic, homosexuality, I believe that it should be judged by its quality, which is outstanding. What made me enjoy this book the most was the rich variety of emotions that it provoked. Happiness, anxiety, fear, love, hate; they're all in this book, and they are brought about perfectly. The ending, in particular, provokes haunting, mixed emotions that will not be forgotten simply because the book has ended.

Worth it for the 2 Klingon models.......2003-11-23
I've always had a love-hate relationship with origami. I love models which manage to capture the essence of a natural or artificial form using a series of folds based on a single square of paper, but I can't stand ones that are just a cobbled, distorted representation of a beautiful organic form. Hence I love some of the classic folds such as the frog, but generally dislike all of those mammals and aeroplanes etc. Some shapes seem to lend themselves to origami and some should probably never be attempted in my (completely uninformed) opinion. I bought this book because I was amazed that someone had managed to entirely capture the essense of forms as complex and distinctive as the Klingon battle cruiser and K. bird of prey using single, uncut squares. A couple of the Enterprises look pretty impressive too (I haven't attempted them yet), although they are made from two sheets, which sort of spoils it for me.
Anyway, the two klingon models are amazing, although quite difficult. I've done little bit of origami in the past, but my first two attempts at the battle cruiser failed. Some of the folds are just too tight even with a medium-sized square of paper. Only try this one with a big piece of thin gift wrap or material of similar ilk. The bird of prey is quite a bit easier in this respect. I plan to learn this one by heart - producing a Klingon B.of P. from a stray flyer in the pub has to be the ultimate nerd's party trick!
Worst book ever!.......2002-03-09
This is the worst book I ever ordered at Amazon.
Andrew Pang, educated in Hong Kong, had a brilliant idea: To write a book about folding paper spaceships. The future meets the past, Star Trek vs. Origami.
And indeed the vs. is quite appropriate, because just as in a bloody fight, the outcome is NOT PRETTY!
Poorly illustrated and badly written, this book delivers nothing at all. It promises to take you through Origami step by step, even though you may be a beginner, but nothing could be further from the truth. Example: On page 5 there's a poor illustration of a strangely folded paper. The "step by step instructions" are limited to one line, and it's impossible to make out how the paper is to be folded, what it has to look like in original production and how you accomplish what is known as the "outside reverse fold".
So all in all, I can't recommend this book to you - if it was the last book on earth I wouldn't use it to fold a blanket to wipe my nose in.
Where only the Bold should go.......2002-01-24
I've been folding for over 30 years, a member of several origami organizations. I found this book to be great far as the model shapes and looks. But some of the models require some moves that have no definite landmarks and it takes several tries to ge the porportions correct so that the model looks right. Also, most of the models expose both sides of the original paper. If you use standard origami paper this results in a half colored model. I didn't find any moves that were super hard, but careful attention must be paid to the text instructions. Overall, I found the book to be inventive, and well presented. If you are not a purist when it comes to origami, you should find this book a good addition to you library.
You might be a Trekkie if ...........2001-01-09
This is a really cool book, with good instructions for making the ships described. A word of caution for beginners (like me). The models are quite elaborate and tricky to make. I would suggest practicing on a much larger piece of paper first, like a squared piece of newspaper or (better still) a piece of artist's newsprint paper.
This book has some interesting models.......2000-10-31
This is a different origami book for sure. I have been folding for about a year and a half and I did not have too much trouble with any of the models so far. It is not for the beginner but all and all it is a new approach to origami with something besides boxes, animals, and birds. When can we see a Star Wars Origami book?

The Captain Lands in Paradise: Poems
ASIN: 0974090980 |
Book Description
These poems are conceived as a value-neutral Paradise Lost. In other words, someone who is not god tells you to avoid a certain tree, and you disobey the instruction; the result is shame. Two characters agree that one of them is supposed to worship and obey the other without actually believing that the other possesses any special qualities that would enforce obedience; the first one disobeys the second one and has to be punished. A body has five parts; each part is alarmed. Descriptions of the parts set off the alarms. Affect lives in the face and is measured with a ruler. The measure is a five-syllable line arranged in three-line units. Each poem is mirrored by another poem with the same title.

Not too Bad.......2006-08-09
Most of the time when you find a book for a dollar your not expecting much out of it at all, but honestly I do believe this was much better than I thought it would be. Reading this one actually gets me to want to read the rest. As entertaining as it was - it does seem much more on a child's level of reading - and not very long at all, but for the price - it is well worth it. As it won't take very long to read and it is not ultimatly hard to understand what is going on.
Sorta kinda, very little remanicent of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker series, and not near the par of the first three hitchhiker books, but I would say pretty close to the last two.
The Micronauts are a small (as in thier body size) alien race that have appeared on earth through a rift. And Ryan Archer's (main character) dad is a scientist working right there at the rift - An alien circus is in town - all the crazies are out and about trying to get a sight of an alien. The only thing truly odd about all that is going on is that Ryan is getting visions from someone called "The Time Traveler" -- showing him an alternate reality... and pushing Ryan to make a move.. for the safetly of Earth.. and possibly the galaxy of the Micronauts.
Very entertaining.. easy to read -- and quick.. I recommend it to any science fiction fan!!
A nostalgia purchase that leaves me somewhat satisfied.......2004-12-01
I bought this book on a whim after spotting it while browsing the Fantasy/Sci-Fi section. Back in the 80s I was a big fan of the Micronauts: I had lots of the toys and the entire series of comic books. As I started reading the book, I found the pace to be slow and somewhat tedious. The story line does not seem to match what I vaguely remember from the comics. I found the characters to be poorly developed and somewhat boring. After slogging through the first half of the book, the action finally picks up as the main characters interact with micronauts. The final few chapters were good enough to pique my interest, so I will probably continue on to the 2nd one in the series.
A great book!.......2004-06-23
This is one of the more enjoyable reads that I've had in a long time.It's reminds me of a Disney style movie.It doesnt take itself too seriously and is just plain fun to read!I'm not saying that its not exciting and extremely interesting{because on the contrary,it is a very exciting adventure}but just that its not a hard core science fiction epic.Its just good old fashioned fun that has a magical{or nostalgic}feel to it.I loved it from the start and thought the author did a superb job writing in the first person.The 2nd book of the series is also very good,but a little slow in the beginning,but really gets going the further you read.I am a little disappointed with the poor reviews that it has recieved here at Amazon.com.It deserves much,much better!
Where did they find this author?!?!.......2004-03-13
I was a fan of the comicbook series and toys as well. I guess these books are timed with the recent re-release of the old toys to exploit our fondness and reap in cash rewards for the owners of the trademark. But about the book...
The author attempts to use the oh so overdone technique of numerous flashbacks in an uncohesive style that adds nothing to the storytelling. His style is very repetitive(maybe cut and paste is something new to him?) and annoying, making it rather likely you will put the book down before you get off the ground with it. This book is defintely only for those diehard Micronaut fans or those with absolutely nothing better to do with their time than count grains of sand on the beach.
There is an upside though! He actually improves as the book progresses. After about 3/4 of the way through this book it goes from a waste of $7 to something barely readable. So not only can you look forward to the continuation of the story in book 2 but you can (hopefully) watch as his writing skills improve as well.
For better or worse I happen to fall into the diehard fan category so I will most likely take on books 2 and 3 as well. I would guess that by the 3rd one it should be a halfway decent written story. I believe that all 3 are already available in e-format for those that can't wait.
Good/Bad.......2003-10-16
I wasn't too impressed with the writing style of the book. It seemed to be too much of a comic book telling and not a real novel. Also all the alien characters were based on humans which didn't add any variance to the mix. Also, the main characters ability to just naturally...know what to do I felt was a complete cop out on writing. Overall it seemed to hurried and the characters to flat and non-dynamic. Also the flashbacks were confusing in their attempt to try to clarify. I'm not a fan of American comics and thus didn't like the structure it was written in.
However, if your interested in the Micronauts comics and really don't care about novels, then it has a lot of good points, such as the speed of flow and the way situations are handled. Also the characters are based on if not out of the comics so, fans of the comics will have something to relate too. Always remember to check to back seat however before you go through any portals.

The tips are decent but not really worth the price of the book. Also, there isn't a lot of text so you can read the book in under an hour.
All the tips are available online by subscribing to the electronic version of cook's illustrated for $3.95/month. Not only is this method cheaper, but you also get the tips that were published after this book came out.
Therefore I can't recommend this book because of the amount of content vs. the price.
