Mari Carmen _i_kett_ — Reread this book last night and was surprised to see I hadn't reviewed in on here before. One of my favorite books in the entire world (second only to, and perhaps tied with, the RiddleMaster trilogy) the Thief is a brilliant masterpiece. The writing is exceedingly good, the dialogue is brilliantly funny, the character is beyond adorable, and the plot...oh my goodness the plot of this book and the sequels are amazing. The style of the writing is impeccable--there's not a word out of place. Re-reading only continues to reveal subtle hints that you missed consciously the first time and reinforce your believe in the brilliant of Megan Whalen Turner.

Artur Rymsza cohannah — My second favourite book of all time. This book spoke to me from the first page to the last. The fact that I've always been interested in medieval times and the plague helped. Connie Willis is a great writer. She knows how to create interesting characters and weave wonderful storylines together. This is a great book and you will not be disappointed with it.

Scott Johnson scj — Abby and Julia Smith of Glastonbury, Connecticut, were independent elderly ladies who ran their own farm, raising cows, and seemingly minding their own business, until 1869, when the town elders (all men) decided to raise taxes--on single female landowners only. Abby insisted that they should have the right to vote on a decision that affected them--"taxation without representation!" they cried, much like their revolutionary war ancestors a hundred years earlier. But Abby and Julia not only didn't have the right to vote, they didn't even have the right to speak up in a town meeting. Their case became a cause celebre among women's rights advocates, and was written up in newspapers around the country. The book provides a rather detailed account of the legal maneuvering, including the town taking the sisters' cows for collateral on their owed taxes to a neighbors farm, with the cows resisting every step of the way. The sisters sued when the town took away their land for non-payment, and eventually won their case on appeal. They toured the country, giving speeches and writing about women's rights. Sadly, they did not live long enough to see Congress pass the 19th amendment in 1920. This book is attractively illustrated with Caldecott winning illustrator Emily McCully's signature watercolors, which lend a nostalgic feel to the story. Although this is a picture book, I would recommend this for older elementary school students (3rd through 6th grade), because of the relatively lengthy text and complexity of the story. It would be a terrific read-aloud for women's history month for the classroom or at home, and could provoke a good discussion of the evolution of women's rights.

Grace Pradhan gracepradhan — It's been awhile since I've found a good book that's a little off the beaten path. Looking forward to reading this one.

Adrian Trefas adriantrefas — I found the premise really interesting--it was a bit dry, however, and I found myself reluctant to pick it back up to read the details once I understood the larger point Logan was trying to make. He did provide some concrete takeaways, which is unusual and appreciated in a business book.
