One of my favorite fantasy trilogies. I first read the books years ago, in high school. I loved the alternate world with the elves and wizards and hobbits. As I grew older, I came to appreciate the language and the style that Tolkien used. I re-read these books often. They are well-written, and because there is so much detail, I always find something I missed before.

Not bad considering it was written by a teenager, but the movie was better.

There is nobody like Neruda when it comes to imagery.

So, I bought this book shortly after it first came out based on a good review I saw in Entertainment Weekly. For the first six months to a year I tried to read it at night and would get a page or two in and then fall asleep because I always came to bed so tired. It has been on my currently reading list this entire time and I was ready to finish it so I finally switched to the audiobook version. So glad I did! The narrator was fantastic. She did a great job with all the characters voices and really brought the story to life. So now on to my short review. In some ways this book is like a well written Twilight (horrible writing in that book). I mean the author seems to have a clue how to write and I enjoyed the prose. The book's mythology centers around vampires, demons, and yes witches and how they are all in modern day life. It is here that the vampire mythology reminded me of Twilight a bit. Her mythology that she created is fine and I can go with it, but I really long for the vamps of yesterday that can only come out at night and have to be invited inside. My biggest problem with the story is that it take FOREVER to get to the good parts. She drags parts out with details and some parts really could be cut. If you were to describe every single detail of your day thus far then you would be close to the way parts of this were written. Time passes slowly. And, the conflict between the warring factions of the book seems to pass really slowly as well. There are some major events in which you would be positive that immediate retaliation would be take place. But, no, weeks pass and it is assumed the other side is just going to wait to retaliate. That bugged me. The other gripe is that I kept feeling like she was constantly just adding stuff to be adding stuff. Oh and this too, and this too, oh, and this too. In some ways I guess she was trying to broaden the history of the mythology, but it was a little annoying. Oh, and for those that like books with tight endings, this doesn't have it. It ends in the middle of an event with the expectation you are moving directly to the 2nd book. This made me really glad I didn't finish this book when it first came out. That all being said, if you can hang through some of the slow parts it was a fun book. Deborah Harkness truly had me hooked by about 60% in and I found myself really looking forward to getting back to the book whenever I was away. So, I am planning on getting the 2nd book in the series to see where this story is going.

My husband and I read this one together, as we are both American Civil War buffs, as well as fans of Australian author Thomas Keneally. It was very absorbing, believable, interesting and worthwhile. Mr Keneally has really done his research on this war and its cultural setting, and is knowledgeable about the various generals and other personages, and it all rang true. The various fictional characters were all well drawn, and their stories gripping. Our hearts ached for those on both sides of the war, so even-handed was the treatment.

The final chapter in the Hyperion Cantos is one powerful note to end on. The series is wrapped up in a tome that is at times sad, hopeful, and always thought-provoking and action-packed adventure. I couldn't put it down.

I have gotten caught up in the Pendergast series and continue to have a difficult time putting aside their books to do other things. This book made me want to shower, as much of the story involved time spent in the sewers and tunnels below New York City. While I started this series with the third book, "Cabinet of Curiosities," I would suggest that a person should read "Relic" prior to "Reliquary," as there are definite ties in plot and characters. I will definitely be adding more from this series to my Kindle. I don't tend to read books with mutated creatures as part of the plot, but Preston and Child spin a good tale and I do love Pendergast.
A compelling argument for the perpetuation of the American gender myth of the strong, heroic male protecting the homestead, and the powerless, domestic female needing rescue from intruders. A contemporary view, using 9/11 and its aftermath as a template, which convincingly portrays the very foundation of our culture as an assertion of male strength and a studied maintenance of female weakness.

another good compilation of short stories, courtesy of David Sedaris. Some pretty good authors.
