This started out slow....so much rowing and sooo many dinners but it turned out to be fascinating. I loved the alchemical aspects that gave the book a different feel then most books with witches. I enjoyed the characters especially the peripheral ones--the vampire housekeeper, the aunts and the demon best friend. I am looking forward to where this story is going and will definitely read the sequels.

I never read much of the original Pooh books as a kid, so this book was a double delight--a clear, simple, and fairly humble introduction to both the concepts of the Tao and to the stories from the Hundred Acre Wood. I love the Tao te Ching; I think it is beautiful poetry with deep meaning for the way we live our lives in this busy world, and paired with the innocence and "non-trying" of Pooh, the Taoist principles make a strong statement. My first introduction to this book was actually in relation to concepts of the Alexander Technique. Read this, then "Body Learning" or "The Use of the Self" and see what you think.

This is my first Pride and Prejudice sequel (indeed, I was unaware up until now of the cornucopia of books in this sub-genre!). Any reviewer would be remiss if he or she failed to remark on Linda Berdoll's diction, so let's address that first: yes, the prose is a deep, deep shade of purple. What many other reviewers seem to have missed is that this is an intentional device that Berdoll employs to mock Jane Austen's style (and indeed, the general diction of the Victorian era). I can understand how a reader can misinterpret this as a serious attempt to emulate Austen; Berdoll walks the line between parody and failed faithful sequel too closely for my tastes. However, in my opinion at least, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife is an obvious parody of Jane Austen's style, both in it is diction and its characters. I am invoking the principle of charity, because to assume otherwise would mean that this book is a crime against humanity not even I would commit. Oh, the characters. Oh, the sex. Not only does Berdoll delight in bombarding us with numerous intimate scenes between Elizabeth and Darcy, but she uses Regency slang like it's going out of fashion (which it has). I tended to skim through these scenes, but if that's what you enjoy, then by all means peruse them in as much detail as you would like. Criticize Berdoll's style if you will, the two main characters are probably more complex than they were in Austen's original novel. We get to experience Elizabeth's burgeoning love for Mr. Darcy and her own trepidation about assuming the role of wife to a man of such high station. In time, we see her take a stand against her husband when she believes he's in the wrong, and fret over his absence overseas during a war, all the while struggling to do what she considers her "wifely duty" and bear Darcy a son. Likewise, Mr. Darcy is torn between his passion for Elizabeth and his lifelong learned attitude of aloofness in society. His new marital status shakes up the status quo at Pemberley somewhat. I certainly cheered for our two protagonists, especially in their moments of contrived heroics. I cheered when Darcy rescued Elizabeth, and when Elizabeth rebuked Lady Caroline. I blinked in dismay when Major Wickham crossed the line dividing cowardice from villainy. All in all, Berdoll weaves a captivating narrative that, if utterly predictable, is still enjoyable. The book is perhaps somewhat longer than it should be. Part of this is because Berdoll insists on retelling certain events from the limited third-person perspective of another character. This was interesting at first, and useful a couple of times, but it quickly became redundant. Likewise, certain aspects of the plot might have been condensed--does Bingley really need to father a bastard child? Do Jane and Lydia really have to have so many children? I realize that there's a theme in there somewhere about fidelity, but buried beneath the layers of (what I'm hoping is) irony, it will not soon see the light of day. In addition to its ponderous length, there were a few glaring errors I found disturbing. For instance, when did Darcy's mother's name become "Elinor"? A quick stop at Wikipedia, of all places, would inform anyone who hasn't read Pride and Prejudice that Mr. Darcy's mother's name was, Anne. This is a classic example of Did Not Do the Research--ironically, according to the Author's Note, this book was originally going to be titled The Bar Sinister , which is the name of a sub-trope of that ilk. Overall, I suspect that one's attitude toward Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife will be influenced by two factors: whether or not one perceives this as parody rather than straight romance, and whether or not one enjoys Regency romance in general. In both cases, the key to enjoying this book is to not take it seriously (at all). Failure to do so may result in a hernia.

This charming little book helped me finally understand Chaos Theory, for which I will be forever grateful.

The End. Kinda sad, I just spent the last two months re-reading the McGee series. I'll circle back to it again someday but right now it's a sort of melancholy feeling. I'm glad MacDonald finished this one up before he died.

I love Firefly. I love Serenity. I love graphic novels. I did not love Serenity: Those Left Behind. It was a pale imitation of the canon's greatness. What I didn't like: The back of the comic said this bridged the gap between the show and the movie, but it didn't. Apparently it is the first in a series that eventually bridges the gap. I don't need to buy and read multiple comics to get to the end of a comic series that leaves me at the beginning of the movie I've already seen (multiple times). The animation irked me, as the characters' likenesses fell in the uncanny valley. The cursing in Chinese did not work at all in the written format. There were multiple plot threads that didn't get any resolution. (view spoiler) What I did like: The Nathan Fillion introduction was great. The dialogue was spot on, which shouldn't be surprising, considering Joss Whedon wrote it. Getting to spend time with the crew again, even in this format, was still a worthwhile hour's diversion.

Really not like anything expected, but in a very good way! A lot of well thought-out characters and backdrops...good job. Will go for City of Ruin next. Great cover too.

Growing up on old Route 66, I knew maps were laden with deeper meaning than just ways to get places. I've always been inspired by that thought, and this book is filled with incredible examples of narrative expressed in map form. I sometimes use this book when introducing narrative possibilities in my textile classes.

Poetic text and bright, detailed watercolors lift this informative nonfiction book to lofty heights. Employing the same accessible format of their two previous stellar books, An Egg Is Quiet and A Seed Is Sleepy, this talented duo trace the insects’ development from egg to flight. Along the way, readers will learn how butterflies and moths differ, as well as facts about metamorphosis, pollination, camouflage, and migration. I've reviewed this and a few other great butterfly-related books at Books of Wonder & Wisdom

Sol Arkasında dizi çok ilginç bir okuma. Bir Hıristiyan dizisidir, ancak belirli bir bakış açısını zorladığı kadar üstte değildir. Gerçekten okuduğumu düzenlemek istiyorum. Sanırım 17 ya da başka bir şey serisinin 3. kitabı. Onları okumaya devam edeceğimi sanmıyorum. Nicolae'de 100 sayfadan biraz daha az var ve yazarlar topu gerçekten düşürdüler! Biraz hayal kırıklığına uğradım çünkü bu kitaplar ilk başta oldukça kolay okundu ve çok ilginçti. Saatlerce size vaaz verecek biriyle oturmak baskısı olmadan bana Hıristiyanlık dünyası hakkında çok fazla fikir verdiler (kitapta bu noktayı onaylıyorlar). Bu roman son iki kitapta olanların arka planı oldu ... sonraki 14 kitap bu şekilde mi ?? !! Gerçekten bir hikaye yok. Sürükliyor, ama bitireceğim.
