Vonnegut has this great way of taking serious issues and making them seem very silly. Great story!

I couldn't put this book down. I wept over this book and found so much hope it in it. I went home and hugged my dog after I finished it.

This book should be required reading for American citizens, particularly those of us in our twenties. Riverbend, the anonymous author of this blog-turned-book, is a young professional woman whose life has been turned upside down by the Iraq war. I was alternately struck by how unbelievably difficult her life has become and how much she writes and sounds like she could be one of my friends. Her descriptions of life in Baghdad after the invasion made the suffering there seem real to me in a way that no statistic can, and forced me to imagine how I would respond if I were in such a situation. I don't know how sound her political analysis is, but this is an invaluable look into the perceptions of an educated young Iraqi.

Of the Feehan books I have read, this one has the least plot and some of the most repetitive writing. I read these because I enjoy a good sex scene in a book on occasion (sometimes these occasions last for months at a time :), but I wasn't even entertained by the sex in this one. The male character, Gregori, is ancient and powerful and the female, Savannah, is too young and emotionally fragile. In most vampire romance, I easily forget that the vampire is sometimes centuries older than their love interests, but in this one, I just couldn't shake the feeling that Gregori was just too darn old for her.

This is my second read through of this book. When I happened upon it originally, I went straight out and bought the second book, as is usually my habit. But I didn't read it until I had the third, because I'd already learned my lesson once before to never throw myself into a series unless I knew it was finished. Lucky thing I waited, because the third and final book took 8 years to arrive. So, I'm re-reading the first, and it's testimony to how good this is that I only took about 6 days to do it. Intricate and almost science fictiony in its world-building, The Chosen is basically your dramatic coming of age story, set in a complex, barbaric fantasy world where men who are like angels rule over and enslave all others through a combination of wealth, terror and tradition. Pinto's writing is lyrical, his his vision vaguely unsettling. He's a little like George Martin on the bad drugs - amazing and frightening and brilliant. The first book ends on a massive cliffhanger, and I'm not sure if the focus is going to switch from the Machiavellian politics of the Masters to the budding same-sex romance between the main character of the first book and what is likely to be a major character of the second, but either way, considering the cliffhanger ending, you might want to have book 2 immediately at hand.
Interesting. I had this marked as "read" but I hadn't actually read it until now -- I was given it years ago, and it has sat on bookshelves in several dwellings, but I only just now cracked it open. Anyway. I have always been ambivalent about Stephen King. I once read somewhere that you could break the U.S. American tradition of horror writing into two strands, one with a Protestant sensibility epitomized by Stephen King, and one with a Catholic sensibility epitomized by Anne Rice. I haven't liked everything I've read by Rice, but I've liked most of it, and at a few earlier points in my life I read her voraciously. King, on the other hand, I made a few attempts to get into when I was younger, but without much success. There were a few things of his that I liked, but not enough to convince me to keep going, particularly after two spectacularly unsuccessful attempts to read The Stand that foundered on finding it completely uninteresting. You could probably make a case that there is virtue in focusing on the brutish everyday of ordinary American life rather than on Mayfair witches or bratty narcissistic vampires, but I remain unconvinced. This illustrated novella wasn't bad, however. I didn't like it at first. That very characteristic way that King has of relating illustrative details about the people and places in his stories can be very effective, but it can also just read as "Oh, there's Stephen King doing a Stephen Kingy thing," and you see him being clever more than the story. I felt that way quite strongly at the start. But it grew on me, and by the end -- and it was one quick, simple read -- I was reasonably drawn in and quite enjoyed it.
Definitely the most action packed of the twilight series in my opinion! Great storyline

Another laugh-out-loud Moore book. This one is the sequel to Bloodsucking Fiends. So far it's everything I ever wanted it to be.
Quite young.

While the author obviously didn't live during these times, the side pieces of the plot remind us of what slavery was and did to the people involved.
