Another reviewer of this book states that "Jack Vance is the best writer that you've never heard of", and I thought more than once that such was the case here for me. This was a simple, swiftly moving, sword and sorcery tale, told with wonderful imagination, a dry wit, and lovely prose. It also has plot shifts and an interleaving of story lines which differentiate great from good. What magic the story describes is interwoven with a very light touch; a thing of mischief and wonder as opposed to destruction and demon curses. In one instance, a young girl plots to steal the hat from the head of a faerie king so that he must grant her a wish. At times the novel felt like a charming mash-up of A Game of Thrones and The Last Unicorn. Within Martin we recognize scheming amongst feudal Kings, an aching desire for the reunion of child and parent, and an author not squeamish about putting a beloved character to the rack if the story calls for such. From Beagle we recall the lyrical and effortless prose, archetypes from traditional Western fairy tales, and a sense that over time, if not in each given instance, good will win out over evil.

A daughter of a retired Vietnam War Vet tells about the struggles and horrors of his war memories. The story was good but much too depressing.

my review sums up what happens in the first half of the book. I feel like I am reading a lengthy journal with not much day to day things going on. spends time at a library reaserching, people are following and mildly threatning her, she befriends a vamp, she rows and does yoga. not much to it but i'm almost in the middle and it picked up a tiny tiny bit. hopefully it gets better. it gets better in the 2nd half, still not the greatest, but good enough to wonder a little bit what will happen int he 2nd book

I bought this book because I was vaguely familiar with Lily Dale, NY and I wanted to know more. Bought it at the Chautauqua Institution Bookstore (a great little bookstore!) on the shores of Chautauqua Lake, just south of Cassadaga Lake where the quaint victorian village of Lily Dale was founded in 1879. Then perhaps one of the largest and now oldest Spiritualist communities in America, it has a place in American church history. This area of Western New York, where Spiritualism started, was known in the 1880's as the "burned over district" because of the mighty works of the Holy Spirit and the "fires" of the Christian revivals that swept through repeatedly. The book is not a page-turner, but interesting enough. The author interviewed many residents and visitors during her summer stay at Lily Dale. She sought out mediums, healers, readers and those who sought those messages and experiences. She sought to discover those gift in herself, but the story moves slowly (not unlike waiting for spiritual gifts of any sort?) Three quotes: (1) Toward the end of the book, the author talks about how her experience at "the Dale" had begun to "redefine me to myself." (2) As she prepares to leave Lily Dale, she asks a spiritualist "So, what do I do with all this?" The answer? "You live with it. You use it in your life." and (3) "It's as though we live in a big egg . . . every day the shell gets thicker. [The:] spirits [Spirit?:] tap, tap tap away until they break a tiny pinhole in the shell. A strange light comes through. And some of us start to kick our way out." Maybe this was the right time to read this book! For the past two years, I have been a "pilgrim", participating in the Academy for Spiritual Formation. Gathering with others for a week every three months, adopting a Benedictine schedule of sorts . . . reading, lectures, worship several times a day and Holy Communion daily, silence and reflection. We have been shaped and molded. Now as we come to the end of our time together, I wonder what i do with what I've learned, I think about how I've changed, I contemplate life with out the structure and will I continue the disciplines begun. I find myself changed, but not in ways that are very observable. . . I have perhaps been redefined to myself, I'll have to keep living with it, and keep kicking.

really well written set of short autobiographical stories. I especially loved the first few about his childhood.

Required reading in my political science class and it ended being one of my favorite books.

What can I say, I LOVE this series. Book 3 takes us to the Fading Lands and we learn more about the Fey ways and the Tairen. Ellie has accepted her magic and is learning to use it, while the Elden mage is trying harder to control her (and her magic). I don't think it moves forward at quite the pace the first two books did, but there's still a lot of action and focus on the romance growing between Rain & Ellie. Wilson does such a great job at building this new world and making her characters seem so real, that it feels like you are right there with them. Definitely a must read (although make sure to read them in order of the series)!

It was like Judy Blume for boys (or girls interested in the thought processes of insecure heterosexual and homosexual teenage boys). The writing was vivid, with a unique storytelling method (one character's point of view was in lower-case); it got pretty depressing in the middle, though the end was written to make the reader cry (at least I did). I actually thought this was a sci-fi book for some reason, which will teach me to read the back of books no matter what the cover looks like; ultimately, although a fast read, still not my type of book.

Bu kitapta birkaç koşu başladım - ilk geçit o kadar sade ve korkunç ki birkaç yıl boyunca ötesine geçemedim. Kemik yaşı için çok yaşlıydı, deneyimler için gençti. Bu kitap, en çok okuduğum bir dizi otobiyografik metinde güçlüydü; daha fazla okuma, yaşam deneyimini bu hikayenin anlatısına yerleştirmeye yardımcı oldu. Kalbimi kır. Kendin ol. Rağmen.
