What a POWERFUL story. A glimpse into the war and a testimony of the power of God. Great to read aloud to kids and talk about God's providence and protection.

I thought this book was very whiny. Here is a young talented woman who has a very loving adopted family and all we see is that she wants to be loved by her birth parents. When she is rejected by her father, instead of getting over it, she tries to make herself loved. Someone needs to tell her that it isn't always about her. There are factors outside of herself that makes him act as he does. The man does not change. Also , she is overwhelmed by her birth mother to the point that she tries to back off. Sounds like her father to me. I can understand her desire to know her roots. She does pursue this and the fact that she was adopted seems to have little effect or consequence here. She finally comes to the realization that her adoptive family has had a permanent effect on her as well. I am not sure there is a story here. I did read the book through, but after that I did not feel as though I came away with any great insight. It was disappointing.

wow. just wow. Edit 7/14/2016: I just re-read (technically listened to) this and there were so many lovely parts I forgot about! It's been about ten years since I first read it and listening really gave it a whole new feeling. Goodreads needs a "re-read" option, ha!

Cleave's second book is as unusual as his first - Incendiary. I really enjoyed both.

"Not Norman" was a fun read aloud in the library this week. The illustrations are simple but colorful and full of expression. I especially like Norman's face as he almost gets lapped up by a couple of puppies. It was fun to watch the transition on the boy's face from disappointment in getting a goldfish for his birthday to pleasure in having a perfect pet. Students voted as follows: Loved it=188, Just okay=12, Didn't like it=12.

I read this on Mimi Smartypants recommendation. It was engrossing, but nothing earth shattering. Freaked me out though.

As I started reading Courting Morrow Little here was a moment of confusion as some of the characters seemed familiar! And of course they were as this is book 2. It follows The Frontiersman's Daughter. If you've never read it, pick it up, it's good. You don't need it at all to for this book though. As Captain Click plays a very small role. Morrow is the tragic heroine, caught between loving the civilized world and her home in Kentuckee (yep, spelled that right--read the book.) She's come home from the East where she's learned fine manners and the proper way to dress. Back home, she quickly falls back into her old ways eager not to appear better than her friends. Yet, she attracts the attention of two men of rank, one in the Army and the other Shawnee warrior. I read this book while sitting on my swing and the heat and birdsong added to the setting of this book, though it wasn't needed. Franz plays well with her words and quickly brings you into the wilderness. The plot of Courting Morrow Little has many layers making it an excellent read.

I am sure I will get a lot of flak for this, but I disliked this book so much I didn't even finish it, which is something I rarely do (That is my definition of one-star worthy). The sad part is that Dune was promising at the start (with the exception of those annoying passages at the head of each chapter). There was also a really interesting scene where one character poisons another in a very unique way, which piqued my interest. But then the characters wind up in the desert. At this point, the story just up and died (I am not going to make any dying of thirst in the desert jokes, although I am tempted). The story was such that I had stopped caring about all the characters by that point, and that was when I realized that there was no point in reading any further. I may try to go back and reread this novel at some point, because enough people have told me it is good (and there are certainly enough sequels for me to realize somebody must like these books). But I am going to have to be really bored and without anything else to read. We'll see. I will update this review if I do.

Because of the writing style, this book has been a little difficult for me to get in to - but what I have read, I have liked.

Easy Rawlins is rough, self-assured, mature, street smart, definitely a man’s man. A businessman who loves family and respects women, he is the amateur investigator featured in 10 books by Walter Mosley. It’s the 60’s – a violent time in our history. An violence is the vehicle that Mosley uses to drive this story. Watts 1965. For those who don’t know what went down, go Wiki it for the full 411. But here’s a snapshot… Watts, is a black neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles, California, that erupted violently in August 1965 after a white highway patrol office stopped a black driver. Blacks in the neighborhood, like Blacks all over the country during the 60’s were fed up with injustice. And more so with non-violent protest. They gathered, observing this unusual traffic stop. They began throwing rocks at the police. This escalated into five days of burning, looting, and bloodshed. Blacks attached white people, fought police and shot at firefighters. It took 15,000 National Guard troops to squash the rebellion. Sounds familiar. Riots. LA. 1992. Rodney King. Baby, there ain’t nothing new under the sun. Watts, Los Angeles, August 1965, five days after the riots began is where the story Little Scarlet kicks off. Ezekiel Rawlins, as the white folks called him, fronts as the head custodian at Sojourner Truth High School while keeping a private investigator business on the down low. You know the brother doesn’t have a PI license, but that doesn’t stop him for helping folks in his community. Easy ain’t no push over, but deep down he can’t get over his southern gentleman roots. Roots that lead back to Louisiana and Texas. He enlists the help of several interesting characters including his, shoot first and never ask questions, “ace boon coon”, Raymond Alexander, better known as “Mouse” In the aftermath of the riots 34 people are killed. Although the news only reports 33, the 34th is a young black woman who the police suspects was killed by a white man. They need Easy’s assistance in solving the crime, because they would get nowhere with white cops investigating the murder of a black woman by a white man. That would be just the spark needed to rekindle the riots. Mosley, one of the best-selling mystery writers, has weaved a story that is real, compelling, engaging,…and puts the issue of black – white relations on blast. He does it in a very easy and subtle way, which is contrasted with the way Easy moves through the story. Yes, the story takes place in the aftermath of the Watts Riots…black-white tension; Yes, Easy is a black man who doesn’t trust the white police…black-white tension; Yes, there is the murder of a black woman by a white man – black-white tension; This tension explodes when Easy discovers who the murderer is and the fiery rage that consumes him. Once the murderer is revealed, you will not be able to put the book down. These are just a few of the many parallels that exist in the story. You will definitely want to know what Easy and his friend Mouse gets into next. I hear there is a film in the works starring Jeffery Wright and Mos Def.
