Love this book. Did not seem like over 1000 pages. Juicy!

This book totally sucked me in. And it probably helps that it takes place in Chicago. Does that mean I can find my own Four somewhere? I can't believe I have to wait for the next book to come out! I have no idea what's going to happen to Four and Tris. I know that I don't trust Marcus or Peter at all just like Tris doesn't. With people growing up in different factions under different virtues, it's hard to figure out who you can trust. Doesn't seem like there are many out there though. I can't wait to find out what's going to happen next...

Very realistic of divorce. Mom is getting re-married. Dad is moving back to the US. (girlfriendless) Parents always fighting. Amber is fighting mad! No wonder she "sees red". I like how Amber can articulate her feelings.

Sarah Moore is now fourteen years old, and has returned for good to her family's home on the Kentucky frontier after two years of studying with her cousins in Williamsburg. It's the fall of 1779, and the Revolutionary War continues back east, but life in Kentucky is much the same as always. Sarah is happy to be reunited with her parents, brothers, and sister, but is not used to the hardships and the constant fear of Indian attack. Sarah decides that she would like to be a teacher, and decides to open Stoney Creek's first school. She worries about if she will be a good teacher, since she is so young, but is determined to help the children of Stoney Creek learn. At the same time, she and the other settlers must worry about a thief that has been stealing food and clothing from all the farms on Stoney Creek. Shadows on Stoney Creek is a good conclusion to the Sarah's Journey series, and I recommend it to all readers who enjoyed the first four books about Sarah Moore. I recommend this entire series to young readers who enjoy stories about pioneer or colonial life. It brings to life a young girl's adventures in Virginia and Kentucky during the American Revolution, and has likable characters and interesting historical details.

There's just something about the way McKenna words things. Her men are always so brooding and dark. Sigh ...

This is one of the books I referenced in my master's thesis for its use of the courtroom scenes.

Doug and I were at our local video rental place (TLA), not looking for anything in particular, when we happened across a copy of Terry Gilliam's movie adaptation of this book. Neither of us had seen it (or heard anything about it), and Doug is a big Terry Gilliam fan, so we rented it. The movie was odd and disturbing, but the story was strangely compelling, so when I saw that it was based on a novel by Mitch Cullin, I thought I'd pick it up at the library if we had a copy. And we did, so I did. As it turns out, the movie is extremely faithful to the book, although the movie downplays the creepy child-molestation stuff. There is really no way to fully explain all this without providing a bunch of spoilers, so I apologize in advance. The novel is about Jeliza-Rose, a young girl (somewhere between 9 and 12 years old) who has never gone to school or interacted with kids her own age. Her parents are heroin addicts, and when her mother dies of a methadone overdose, her aging musician father whisks Jeliza-Rose off to a crumbling Texas farmhouse to hide out. Unfortunately for Jeliza-Rose, Dad soon kicks the bucket himself, and while he slowly decomposes in his rocking chair, the little girl is left to wander the desolate prairie with only her collection of Barbie doll heads for company. She soon meets her only neighbors -- a recluse named Dell and her younger brother, Dickens, whose epilepsy has been treated with brain surgery, leaving him a child in a man's body. And it just gets weirder...and weirder...and weirder from there. (Jeliza-Rose ends up having a creepy semi-relationship with Dickens that was quite cringe-inducing.) I've read plenty of dark and macabre stuff, so my unease with the story doesn't spring from that...rather, it's the discomfort of imagining a kid having to go through this sort of nightmare. Jeliza-Rose has no knowledge of what normal, or even moderately dysfunctional, life could be like, and even though it's suggested that she's "rescued" in the end, you get the sense that her world is always going to be populated with preserved bog people and submarine captains and devious doll heads. I enjoyed Cullin's writing -- his tone was very simple and straightforward, which is to be expected when the narrator is a child, I think, and I'd be interested to see if his other novels have a similar voice.

I just finished this one. I didn't like Essie and that makes it really hard to like the book. But it wasn't a terrible book, and actually I would still recommend it to someone looking for a sqeaky clean romance.

Good story. Kind of clever to have a quest for a dozen eggs lead them on their journey of friendship and danger. The most interesting thing about the book for me was learning about the Siege of Leningrad, which lasted three years. Three years of starvation with no food to be had at any price; corpses everywhere, just left to rot; and brutal cold, with every bit of wood, including the trees, already hacked up and used for heating. Those who are offended by crassness will probably want to avoid this one. It goes a little overboard at times with the language and the sex talk and bathroom jokes. I've lived long enough to know that teenage boys really do talk that way, but it could have been toned down a bit. Overall, though, a good tale. He keeps it interesting so you want to keep reading and see how it all comes out (in more ways than one, he he).
