** spoiler alert ** Wow. Songs of the Humpback Whale took me almost three years--to the day--to read. o_O I kind of hated this book. Not really because of any problems with the book itself. It's well written, just like all of Jodi Picoult's books have been. The plot was interesting and still sucked me in, albeit reluctantly. But, I like things best when they have characters I can sympathize with, characters I can like. I didn't like or sympathize with any of these characters. And yet... I still came to care about them. Which made their stories all the more painful to read. Jodi Picoult is kind of known for her plot twists. There are, in my experience, usually two--one that's almost expected, and one that definitely isn't. Most of the time, these come at the end of the book. The most unexpected plot twist in Songs of the Humpback Whale came in the first half of this book: Hadley dies. Rebecca tells us so because she remembers the story in reverse, and his death is near the end of the story. You know from then on out that everything is going to go to hell and it makes for a reading experience where you've got your eyes mostly squinched up so you can barely see the page and you're holding the book at arm's length because you're not sure you want to know what happens next--but you're still reading. There's never a real lull in which everyone is okay either. Someone is always in pain. The end isn't any better. You could make arguments all day long about how it may be bittersweet, but that there's hope. Sam can move on. Joley and Jane will see each other again eventually. Oliver has truly changed. Rebecca will get better. Jane will learn to be happy. No. Just no. It's a terrible ending. Hadley is dead--and worse, his death was pointless. Rebecca watched him die and she will likely blame her mother and herself for it. Oliver got what he wanted, but I have a hard time believing the changes he's supposedly undergone (Oliver was my least favorite character), will stick. Sam and Jane will never get a chance to be happy. And Joley has to say goodbye to his sister again. I've never liked stories with unhappy endings. What you, dear reader, should take away from this is that I didn't enjoy the book. I make no commentary on whether you should or shouldn't read it (if you haven't, shame on you for reading this far). I'm simply recording my thoughts.

Next to "The Pragmatic Programmer" this book is one of the most important books in my collection. Read it if you want to be inspired and need to see a path of serious personal development. Chad Fowler has nailed it.

Letters from Pemberley is a beautiful series of letters from the newly-wed Mrs Elizabeth Darcy to her beloved sister Mrs Jane Bingley, focusing on Elizabeth's first year of mistress of Pemberley. From her first few uncertain weeks of being mistress, to the revelation she is to become an aunt, hrough to thier first Christmas, Letters from Pemberley shed light on what life might have been like for Elizabeth, and serves as a most delightful sequel to Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice.

Probably one of the most comprehenive works on the sisters of Henry VIII, who were fascinating in their own right. Both became Queen Consorts and led somewhat scandalous lives. Great read since material on either Margaret or Mary Tudor is rare.

Couldn't finish it. Hard to follow the 'plot' and the author made up a number of words which made it even more inscrutable. Not sure why it has such a high general rating from other readers.

As a description of Southern society this book is wonderful insofar as it fulfils a high cliche count. In fairness to Margaret Mitchell, who was an Atlantan (Georgia, not the non-exitant island)with family members who had been involved in the Civil War, I have to assume that her recollection is accurate. However, particularly since the film, if you talk of Southern Belles and Beaus your first recall is of Scarlett O'Hara and Ashley Wilkes (how strange that they were played by British actors in the film). The portrayal of her development from a shallow, spoiled individual to one whose own endeavours brings her happiness is almost secondary to the description of the impact that the Civil War brought to Georgia, symbolised by the burning of Atlanta. Historical fiction is a strange beast. If the events portrayed have a meaning to the reader it is more likely to be well received. I suspect that my pitiful lack of knowledge impaired my enjoyment of this book when I read it, all those years ago.

Es war wieder mal ein sehr gutes Buch aus dieser Buchreihe von Bianka Minte-König! Und ich muss sagen, ich glaube das ist bisher das einzige Buch aus der Buchreihe bei dem ich wirklich eine Gänsehaut bekommen habe. Also es war wirklich unglaublich gut und lässt sich wieder schnell und leicht lesen!

i enjoyed the trilogy but i don't think i quite understand how it correlates to larger issues. i know the world and the various creatures are supposed to be allegories for something (that's why i started reading them). so while i enjoyed them for themselves, i don't think i fully "got" them
