Oh my goodness.... I think I need to move down to the South. I love the spunk the characters have. This is also a good book if you know someone who is adopted. Love love Unc, my favorite character. This one is a must read.

This book, in a word, stinks. And now I shall tell you why. The main character marries a woman named Lexy. Lexy is terribly mysterious, and vibrant, and creative, and such and so on. Okay, whatever, she dies by falling out of an apple tree. Now that I have been browbeaten with the symbolism, let's go to a flashback so Parkhurst can work up some sympathy for this dead chick. By having her suggest that they take a spur of the moment trip to Disneyland! Which I hate! Which should be firebombed! While Mickey screams in agony! Seriously, Disneyland? And then she has a fit when someone cuts the line at "It's a Small World?" I hate this woman. Lexy is an artist. She paints death masks for grieving people. She pulled all her own hair out then had Medusa's snakes tattooed on her scalp. She never wants to have children because she thinks she will be a bad mother. She makes her husband have sex with her while she wears someone else's death mask. Can we guess what really happened in the tree? The apple tree? Hey isn't there an apple tree in some other book? And snakes? What? Let's cut to the chase here. The only worthwhile character in this book is the dog. When the narrator managed to put this dog in mortal danger by being a complete idiot, I kept reading just to see what happened to it. Plus, I was more than halfway through. Plus, my brain had just died from reading Ghost Wars (it was so hard). Don't read this book.

I was so excited to read this book. Sense and Sensibility is one of my favorite books of all time and I was eager to see what Ms. Aiken would have happen to some of the key characters. I was especially eager to see what became of Marianne and Willoughby. Sadly, I was disappointed in some aspects. I actually really liked the main character, Eliza, who is the daughter of Colonel Brandon's ward, Eliza, and Willoughby. The book opens in a village where the expertise is the rearing of illegitimate children. Eliza is one of these children and she sets about detailing her formative years in this place. She isn't treated very well but still manages to carve out happy memories for herself. She becomes acquainted with two men whom she calls Mr. Sam and Mr. Bill. The duo awaken in her an interest in words and poetry and, in fact, are later revealed to be none other than Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth. As Eliza grows older and learns more, she also grows in confidence and becomes a very practical young woman. She is also quite the accomplished musician and retains her appreciation for poetry. She was a very likeable character, overall. Unfortunately, not all characters are as pleasant as Eliza. This is one of the areas that upset me very much. Edward and Elinor are re-introduced in this story, although greatly altered. Edward has, inexplicably, become a pompous, zealous tyrant and Elinor a cowed, reticent woman. Some of the reasons hinted at for this change in Edward are downright ridiculous and I found myself exclaiming in outrage upon reading them, not to mention his actions. As for Marianne, she is a bitter, spiteful woman who shows no compunctions of misplacing her anger, which was a real disappointment. She, at least, redeemed herself eventually. Willoughby was the only character who was exactly as I expected him to be. I will say that the backgrounds employed in the book were engaging. Aiken's descriptions of the village Eliza grew up in, Bath, London, and Portugal were vivid enough to provide a picture for the mind's eye to utilize. I really enjoyed reading about Eliza's travels and the people she met. As far as scenes, I have no regrets. While there were some appealing points to the book, my disappointment in the portrayal of some of my favorite characters from Sense and Sensibility left me with regrets. I feel that this book had the potential for great things but fizzled with the unsubstantiated personality changes.

Three stars for Countdown itself (something of a prequel to Patient Zero). Another because the first three chapters of King of Plagues are fricking brilliant.

There is nothing better than a cowboy hero, unless of course that cowboy hero is also a DEA agent. I fell in love with Luke with his first "sugar" comment. I loved how he let Trinity get used to the idea of her being "his" completely and he wouldn't take anything less that her complete heart, mind and body. It is usually the girl who puts those demands out there. The book had it all, there were really bad guys doing really bad things, then there was an amazing love story that was so hot and intimate, the pages should have been burning. I liked being able to catch up again with Zack and Skylar, and that they did play a part in the book, not just sitting on the sidelines being mushy and in love. This story was just another stepping stone though in bringing down the operation, and I have no doubt that Clay, the next book and also the town lawman, will not rest until there is peace in his town.

I couldn't finish this. I made it roughly a third of the way through and decided the tone was too anachronistic. My primary memory is overuse of the phrase "hot body" to describe women. Tone and style, as I said, simply seemed too "modern" for lack of a better term, especially when coming from the point of view of characters. I may give it another go, as I found the story compelling and perhaps I could overlook the tone and style or I will find it less distracting in the course of a second attempt.
