This is a hard book to review: it will definitely not be everybody's cup of tea. I had started it once years before, then set it aside, and finally read it at a point in my life when I had the time and the patience. It is massive! But I've never read anything at all like it. It's about America and Americans, Time, Fantasy, the 19th Century, and lots more. Ultimately I found it to be a fascinating, provocative, and important work of American literature. At this point in time the 1957 MGM movie adaptation is more famous than the source novel. That's a pity. The movie is interesting in its own way, although its really not very good. And it barely begins to capture the scope of the novel; its plot follows the novel's outline in only the most cursory fashion. The novel RAINTREE COUNTY is a challenge, for its size if nothing else. But, for me, it remains one of those handful of books that crept into my psyche and changed what I thought a book should be.

After an attack by something straight out of a nightmare Mary wakes up in a strange bed, in a strange place with people she has never seen in her life. These people begin to tell her of her birthright, which entails a vastly different life than she ever imagined possible. A life filled with shifters, gnomes, imps and vamps. In this new life she is Keena Priestess of the Wild, a Witch and her home is on the hidden island of WildLand. Keena’s new friends and family begin to train her for the trials that an extremely old prophecy has spoken of. Keena will have to fight magically and physically to obtain the throne and title for High Priestess. Sounds really exciting right, well that’s just the tip of the excitement iceberg. Keena has a short few months to learn how the fight and defend herself against her opponents. She also has to become more comfortable as a Witch and forget her human feeling about casual sex. Keena not only needs the sexual contact of others to fully come into her Witch powers but her Witch powers also needs the power exchange of other magical beings. Birthright is written in first person from Keena’s point of view. I loved Keena. She evolves from a human who always knew she was different to an incredibly strong Witch. For Keena to obtain the High Priestess throne and title she must battle her twin Feldema in the Battle of Birthright. Feldema was spoiled from the time she came to WildLand. The member of the Kith believed that she was the stronger of the twins. After all she was with them and had her full magical abilities long before anyone ever found Keena. Feldema does everything one can possibly imagine an evil twin doing and then some. The fight for the throne adds an enormous amount of tension to this book. The suspense of what obstacle is going to be tossed at Keena next left me on the edge of my seat as I was eagerly turning pages. The romance! I mentioned already that Keena needed the sexual exchange of powers with others. In the world that this book is set in there are no taboos about multiple partners in fact it is expected. Keena being raised as a human has some issues with casual sex with multiple partners. She does find herself not only attracted to but drawn on a primal level to Tynan and Jordan. Tynan is a Vampire Lord and Jordan is the half Demon head of security. The romance is hot. Keena can’t just fall into bed with these two. Her human side wants the connection, the passion and the loving relationship. The connection that she has with the two men is amazing. I loved the way her Witch nature heightened the connection. There is an interesting happily ever after with Birthright. Keena gets two sexy men. It’s not ménage. The three are never together at the same time. I just want to warn someone who may not be interested in this nature of happily ever after.

Not quite the page-turner I expected, at least not until the final 50-60 pages. Nevertheless an interesting book that tells a true story that I'd never previously heard about.

The ideas are top notch, more than making up for some rough corners in the writing. Interesting tidbits and examples about what makes a business great Anything by Pabrai -- and especially more recent -- is super-worthwhile. Eg annual meeting transcripts.

I was reluctant to read another book about the Holocaust so soon after having read The Invisible Bridge. I am so glad I did not set this book aside for later. Sarah's Key is an amazing and yes, heartbreaking story. I read this book in 24 hours and probably would have read it faster if I didn't actually have commitments to attend to, it's difficult to put down. While this is a story of fiction the background and the events of the story are all true. And like so many of the characters in the book, I was not aware that such austerities occurred in France by French Police. It is such a heartbreaking story to hear how these families were treated. Following Sarah through her life through her own eyes as well as Julia's is a thrilling almost desperate journey to discover the truth of her life. An excellent read.

I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to more character development in the following books for the series. Well my second read I still enjoyed this book. I still get annoyed with female characters that seem to live their lives through books, but at least Tessa had real reason being a "heroine" circa 1800. But I still long for a really good female lead in a book. But I am now caught back up to date and ready for the new installment.

I felt that his book was better than the first. It help to understand the life of people that lived at the time of Christ.
