It's just a little different. But as I go through the books I think that is one of Stout's strengths -- his Nero Wolfe stories are never exactly the same thing twice. While the core characters are always there the tone of the mysteries and the way the stories are presented always change.<br /><br />I think there is a lot that is fascinating in "League" it's just that Stout having the characters try to base it in hard psychology is suspect.<br /><br />If nothing else, I love "League" for showing how much Wolfe really cares about Archie. Wolfe is not only willing to leave the brownstone, he's willing to take a chance with his own life when he thinks Archie might be in danger. And Archie's reaction in return when he thinks Wolfe is in danger and possibly already dead says much about the strength of their friendship.Stressfactorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912839130111687816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877002595420539561.post-87811071212835638702010-10-13T21:27:04.049-05:002010-10-13T21:27:04.049-05:00Loved your review of what is one of my favorite Wo...Loved your review of what is one of my favorite Wolfe stories. I have to say, though, that I'm also a big fan of his second book, The League of Frightened Men. Having now read all the Wolfe stories at least a few times, League stands out as a unique take on whodunits. I hope you'll give it another chance.

At the time my friend and I were heavy into Broadway and we saw a lot of touring companies and I suppose we'd gotten used to a more smooth style of singing.

For one, it's a worthy attempt to encapsulate all the different aspects of the character and her history. <br /><br />The new antagonists introduced in The Circle have an interesting origin and the importance of motherhood to the Amazons is investigated. <br /><br />It's a more engaging take on what Wonder Woman means as a symbol/concept, but mixed in with decent world building (or in Wondy's case world repair after Amazons Attack)and page-turning plots. <br /><br />It's just a shame all that thought and work gets wiped away by the JMS revamp.Somnopolishttp://somnopolis.netnoreply@blogger.com
