Eventually, abiding by those feelings causes him to try to purify himself with self-flagellation, which, in an unfortunate turn of events, leads to his madness and suicide. “Mother, monogamy, and romance” are concepts that are reviled in the World State, as is the whole idea of “feeling strongly” however, for John, these are core values, as he is devoted to his mother, and strives for monogamy and romance while still experiencing feelings unfiltered by soma. In Chapter 3, Mustapha Mond explains the history of the World State to a group of boys touring the Hatchery. And feeling strongly (and strongly, what was more, in solitude, in hopelessly individual isolation), how could they be stable?" (Chapter 3) What with mothers and lovers, what with the prohibitions they were not conditioned to obey, what with the temptations and the lonely remorses, what with all the diseases and the endless isolating pain, what with the uncertainties and the poverty-they were forced to feel strongly.

Then I went on to read Hopeless, then Finding Hope, then the Slammed series, and then every damn book she wrote as she published them because I couldn’t get enough. I read her book Finding Cinderella first, since it was free. When it came to writing books with angsty characters and impossible scenarios, Colleen Hoover was (and is) the queen. I’m one of the loyalists who started reading Colleen Hoover near the start of her career, devouring her angsty YA novels like candy, then emerging from my room teary-eyed and unable to pick up another book for at least a week while I recovered. Every book I’ve read by Colleen Hoover has twisted my gut in tiny pieces. However, to be together means to lose everything, including Diem. Ledger has every reason to hate Kenna…except for the undeniable electricity growing between the two of them. Everyone but Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and a link to Kenna’s daughter. The problem?

The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen (I’m going to call it, affectionately, Lederhosen for short) is a pastiche of all those series you read when you were a kid back in the fifties and the sixties, if you were a kid back in the fifties and the sixties: Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Danny Dunn, the Bobbsey Twins, cowboy series that I never read, stuff like that.

Saylor sets this tale of ancient Rome beautifully, making me believe I’m there - I can feel the breeze off the sea, the warmth of the baths, taste the food, and fear a man with the power to destroy. He has a son, for one, who follows Gordianus through life - rolling his eyes - even as we follow Gordianus around as he detects - a fascinating education in the politics of the day, slave interactions, the day’s rituals and expectations, and the basics of it apply to today as well.
