This book was amazing. I know everyone says that, but it was seriously a.maz.ing! I wonder how many people read it as fluff though and how many sit back and wonder how close we are to living like that. Not the whole world war part, but the Games. I don't want to offend anyone, but I see the beginnings of this in those beloved reality shows, making fun at the expense of others, pitting people against each other - not that I think competition is a bad thing, not when it promotes hard work and teamwork - but there's an extreme. When it becomes violent, hateful, vengeful. You can see these things everywhere. Not just in reality TV. I think back a few years when all those dog fights were happening and the online betting that was going on and then I think about those high school kids who were beating people up and posting it online. How many hits did it get? I don't know, but it was awful. It was enough to make it to national news. Maybe I'm wrong and Suzanne Collins wasn't trying to make a deeper point about society, but that's what I took from it and I think these books are inspiring, tools of learning if we let them be. Between this and The Silence of God that I recently finished, the phrase that echoes through my mind again and again is that "Government cannot change the hearts of man". We each have to be responsible for what our hearts feel and how we react to the world around us. There are always consequences. Always. The one thing I had a hard time with in these books was the present tense. I know why she used it, but I had a hard time getting used to it.

Sakura still spends a lot of time being rescued, which stands out to me because she's a princess and the only frequently-appearing female character. At least in this volume she gets to be useful with the whirlwind. Also, I love that Fai doesn't feel the need to leap into the dangerous fighting-type missions. Considering that he's a mage stripped of his magic, he's already maybe kind of a bit better at combat than he should be, so I'm glad that: A. It seems (to me) implied that Kurogane is better at it (BECAUSE HE SHOULD BE), and B. Fai is happy to hang out in places where the fighting isn't going on. (That was actually something I liked a lot about Volume 7 - Syaoran and Kurogane go off fighting monsters, and Fai sticks to running a cafe and is caught totally unprepared when the monsters show up there.)

It took me a little too long to finish this book. The truth is this was the last enjoyable Percy Jackson book I've read so far. The pace was too slow for my taste [I guess I grew used to the thrill of the previous three], and I got bored easily. In this installment, Percy and his crowd are fighting the "Battle of the Labyrinth" to prevent Cronus from rising to power. But Cronus has also an army of his own, so it's basically a Cronus recruits vs Percy and his Pals fight. The fighting reminded me a lot of the Harry Potter series, Cronus being Voldemort and Percy as Harry. They're very similar, at least in this book. If you get started on it, you may be bored at the beginning, but in the end you'll realize it's absolutely worth the read.

My goodness, I will have to review something very dark and depressing to make up for loving this book, won't I? This is the romance novel that isn't a romance novel. The heroine who isn't a heroine. It's fixed in time and place, but with a heroine who seems modern. Sophy is fantastic. She's so very skillfully drawn. Every action and word from her is much more carefully considered than in many others of her heroines, and not forced for the sake of the romance. At least, it felt that way to me. The romance seems very secondary to the plot and character development. At least, the main romance that matters. The rest are just entertainment. The whole thing works so very well. It's bright and energetic and hilarious. The plot is fantastic, the endless capers are quite funny, and the character development seems very real and natural. It reads incredibly fast. So fast I want it to start all over again. And now I want to read it again! Love love love this book to no end. PS: However, there is a bothersome Jewish stereotype in this book. It did give me pause after I finished the above review, but it is such a small part of the book, and the rest of the book is so unlike it, I decided not to change the above enthusiasms.

Ehrman has outdone himself again. This is a great little book for people who are actually interested in the historical questions that The Da Vinci Code claims to answer: Who wrote the New Testament? Who decided whether Jesus was a human or a god? Was he married? What did Jesus actually teach? Who was Mary Magdalene, and what was her relationship with Jesus? and what were the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Nag Hammadi library, and the gnostic gospels? One puzzling thing at the beginning of the Da Vinci code, on the first page or on one of the cover pages, is Dan Brown's claim that all of the descriptions of the ancient documents in the book are true. In light of what Ehrman and other historians of early Christianity actually know, the only way to make sense of Brown's claim (other than to assume his research consisted of skimming a single book and copying it's ideas wholesale - ie ignorance) is to read this page as part of the fiction of the Da Vinci Code. As if the fictional author, who lives in a fictional parallel world where all of his claims are true, were writing it, because from Dan Brown that statement is a lie. The real historical knowledge about these questions is in some ways just as subversive and interesting as the more fanciful daydreams presented in the Da Vinci Code. The only reason authors like Brown can spin such a tale about early Christianity and get away with it, is that people, even devout Christians (especially devout Christians) have the real information hidden from them by omission. Read this book; Ehrman presents his material with clarity and authority.

This book made me laugh so many times! I think it's better enjoyed having read the books that come right before it, though. Reading The Mane Squeeze and Beast Behaving Badly first would greatly increase your enjoyment of this book, because many of their characters, as well as some from earlier in the series, reappear. For me this is a series where the comedy overshadows the romance, and that's ok with me.

Not nearly as enthralling as his last two works.

A Death in Belmont felt like reading a newspaper piece. It has facts. It has objective postulations. It leaves the reader to form her own opinions. The the hook is that the author has a personal connection to the story, but there is little intimate or personal about it: no indication that the author feels anything more than journalistic curiosity. There are glimmers of passion, but the "personal" part is missing. It's fascinating if you know nothing of the Boston Strangler saga, but overall, it falls a little flat.
