Cyrus Leung cyrusleung — Googled is an interesting look at the company behind the search engine. Absolutely worth a read even if you find yourself skimming through some of the lengthy back stories. Online search is such a fascinating field and this book describes it's origin. More importantly, however, this book examines the effect Google has had on traditional media as a whole, specifically, print. If you only read 10 books this year, this one should be on the list.

Colleen Cole colefolio — Originally reviewed by Rabid Reads: http://www.rabidreads.com/2011/06/review-retro-demonology-by-jana-oliver.html Don't confuse Retro Demonology with a novella, because it's definitely more of a short story (if that makes any sense). It's also available as a free download and is only a handful of pages in length so remember to take that into consideration before deciding to read it. However, if you're reluctant to commit to A Demon Trapper's Daughter, the first full-length book of Jana Oliver's new series, this is a good way to go. This prequel is very cute and will wet your lips just enough to get you interested in the series. The story takes place before book one and is about Riley's first solo trapper mission. This prequel introduces a neat concept. The world has changed a lot since the demons managed to take up residence on Earth. Some people are having a hard time dealing with their new reality so as a coping mechanism they've created their own mini-oasis in a past decade. In this case, Riley's first customers are stuck in the '60s. The trapping goes off without a hitch but she runs into a bit of a problem on her drive home. I don't want to spoil such a short tale so I'll stop here; but Jana Oliver manages to demonstrate a bit of the sarcastic humour that's prevalent throughout The Demon Trapper's Daughter. This prequel will only take you about 10 minutes to read but Retro Demonology could have easily been a chapter in book one. It'll give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the series while not giving away any plot secrets. I enjoyed it for what it is: a quick, easy read. Retro Demonology is perfect for existing fans of the series as well as for possible future ones.

Agustina Fariña agustinafari — It is better to read the book first before watching the movie. This is how love should be, protected and honoured. Make sure you supply a few tissues it will make you cry.

Cuneyt Ozbilen cuneytozbilen — The book is well-written. Though going backwards so much in a story is a literary no-no, he doesn't do terribly. There were phrases and lines I will not forget, such as "... feminine elaborations...." on page 24. It is as the professional reviews call, an ambitious novel. The character development was well-done. I knew each character, and when it got to the end, I was thinking it was the author who didn't understand the character as well as I did. I'll get to that in a minute. Other good things.... He's really inventive with imagery. When he describe the scenes where Dr. Phil's family was massacred, I was astounded at how vivid and eloquent the scenes were! Almost movie like in my mind's eye. I applaud any author who is able to court poetic imagery to fictional prose! So... what didn't I like? I felt there were few conventions. In describing the innocent and awkward love affair between the brother and sister, it reminded me of Harry Potter and other such books. There's an over-arching romantic aroma to the book that can get too strong and drawn out. The ending rather annoyed me, and I thought he conceded it to publisher's whims. For one thing, Father Mike would NOT have done what he did. There was no development for it! It was such a surprise, it was maddening. And the brief descriptions the author made during the car chase, (on father mike's mind was not godly thoughts and so on), where indicators that the author got HASTY! And the fact that the father died? What? That was sacrilege. The story does not need such roller-coaster plot devices so late in the goddamn novel! And I hated the utter absence of Desdemona from the book! I kept rereading the last passage she was mentioned to find out if I glanced over a sentence that stated she died. And it seems contrary to Cal's omniscient conscious he should not mention Desdemona because he forgot about her yet knew things he had no business knowing! I won't hate on Eugenides with his fantasy narrator. I thought the descriptions Cal gave of things she didn't know to be tasteful and progressive for the novel. I am not going to say, "Oh, he should have been more naturalistic or whatever" because he didn't do it badly. Anyway, good book. I loved it up to the ending, which was bland and irrelevant.
