Summary: It makes you think
Comment: The Unquiet Grave smells of the mannered ways of the English Middle Class before WW2. It has a certain pretentiousness which will repel some but open doors for others. It consists of paragraphs each of which contain a thought culled mostly from the wisdom literature of the last 3 millennia. Not all these thoughts are attributed, so some are presumably those of the author. They do, however, hang together well and may spark a high rate of response in their reader. Connolly does seem to reflect the anxious yearning for direction and certainty which infects many. Those people who current wisdom says should be secure in our modern world but who feel anything but secure will find the book reflecting their uncertainties. It will strike more chords in California than Bosnia, and some of the chords will be life enhancing.

Summary: Like a gourmet meal for the soul and spirit.
Comment: A bit of a philosophical conglomeration of streaming thoughts from various writers and philosophers of the last 2000+ years. This is not a self-help book; however it covers the many facets of love, sex, marriage, relationships, hell, fresh hell, money, life, angst, neuroses, and all of the other stuff which we conjure up in our human ways to infect the sweet bliss of the moment.

Summary: Incredible, a Guide to Life
Comment: THE UNQUIET GRAVE is an incredible book. Every page has condensed bits of wisdom and wit. Truly one of the best books ever. Unfortunately, it is out of print and, alas, that is too bad; I confess that I had to procure a copy of it by nefarious means. If a book was meant to be sought out by any means possible, this is the book.
