There are parts of this book where you feel the characters pain and betrayal. I am excited to continue the series.

I'd like to give this book a 3.something, because I thought it was pretty good... and much better than some other stuff out there. As usual for the series, this book had some boring parts, some down time. The characterizations of the characters, especially read by a narrator, got repetitive. But the plot was interesting, and my favorite part of the novel is its self-awareness. In one scene, the author and the characters are aware of their participation in a very contrived hero trope, and that was sort of cool. I'm glad I put in the time for this series. Herbie's characters came alive in my little Honda Fit for several months, and I'll miss them.

The book was pretty dark. Fast read and pretty funny at times, but it also disturbed me a little. It has a Royal Tenenbaums feel to it being both dark and humorous. The story is about a boy growing up with a dysfunctional family, and his observations along the way.

Ashfall Mike Mullin Tanglewood Press, October 2011 ISBN 978-1-933718-55-2 Hardcover (e-ARC) Alex, a fifteen-year-old living in Cedar Falls, Iowa, is alone for the weekend, having browbeat his parents into letting him stay home while they take his little sister to visit relatives in Warren, Illinois. He’s looking forward to doing his own thing (mostly geek stuff) for a few days but, after several hours of online questing on World of Warcraft, Alex’s life changes forever. Nine hundred miles away in Yellowstone Park, the supervolcano has exploded and Alex’s house is shattered by what feels and sounds like incoming artillery. Digging himself out, he struggles to escape the blaze and finds shelter with neighbors. The noise, the continuous explosions, the fear of the unknown are nearly overwhelming. All telephone communication is out so Alex has no way to reach his family. Then the ash begins to fall. And the darkness comes with it, along with a sulfurous stench. Two days later, water flow is gone. Finally, the first looters come and the resulting terror and devastation give Alex the resolve to find his family no matter what it takes. The journey ahead will be long and fearsome, a nightmare Alex will face alone until he meets 17-year-old Darla who has a maturity far beyond her years. Will these two survive the journey or will this nightmare prove to be too much? I have a particular fondness for post-apocalyptic and disaster-related fiction and have, I think, developed a discerning taste over many years of reading such novels. Ashfall is one of the very best I’ve read and is more remarkable because it’s Mullin‘s first book. His descriptions of the conditions, environmental and human, that will most certainly follow such a cataclysmic event have the ring of truth and he maintains a level of intensity and despair, as well as strength and hope, that are difficult for many writers to convey without being “over the top”. It’s a compelling tale with dystopian elements and what could be an overpoweringly dark story is alleviated by flashes of humor and a bit of romance. In fact, the way Mullin handles the developing relationship between Alex and Darla was especially appealing to me as it is realistic and tasteful. Parents should not be concerned when their teens pick up this book—it was written with them in mind. Ashfall is the first of a trilogy and I’m looking forward to Ashen Winter in October 2012. In the meantime, I’m waiting till Ashfall is released so I can buy a copy for my bookcase and I’ll be including it in my list of Top Five favorite books for 2011. I strongly recommend it to adults and teens alike. Reviewed by Lelia Taylor, August 2011.

*SPOILERS FOR BOOK 1* When Firelight, the first book in the series, leaves off, Jacinda and her family are fleeing home to the Draki pride they ran away from, narrowly escaping hunters. Jacinda's betrothed, Cassian, came back for them and is bringing them home. She's leaving behind her boyfriend, Will. Her twin sister, Tamra, had previously been believed to be "dormant", but in the last few pages of Firelight, she surprised everyone. (I'll admit, I totally did not see it coming, lol) As Vanish begins, Cassian, Jacinda, her mother, and Tamra are rushing back to the pride. As soon as they arrive, they take Tamra to someone who can heal and train her in her new talents. Jacinda and her mother, however, are placed under house arrest. They're traitors for leaving the pride, and are treated with suspicion and derision. Jacinda is having a hard time going from the pride's "golden girl" to a pariah. Her mother's response to the situation is to lose herself in a bottle, ultimately forcing Jacinda deal with her situation on her own. Cassian is still pursuing her, but now she's aware that her sister is also a suitable candidate to mate Cassian. She's pining for Will, and being pursued by Cassian's uber-creepy cousin and watched by the pride. When a series of events leads her back outside the pride, she's going to be in more danger than before, but this time she's not alone... My thoughts: Vanish is an excellent follow-up to Ms. Jordan's YA debut, Firelight. The stories are so different: In firelight, Jacinda flees the pride only to find acceptance in the forbidden love Wil provides. In Vanish, she's back in the pride that needs her, but now she's an outcast. I was thrilled to see more of the inner workings of the Pride, the individual roles and day-to-day activities that take place. As archiac as some of the social mores were, it was interesting to read and made me smile each and every time Jacinda rebelled. The love triangle in Vanish is skillfully written: Where Cassian seemed to be a roadblock to Jacinda's happiness with Will in Firelight, in Vanish he becomes a viable hero and this particular reader is firmly on the "Team Cassian" side, lol. His patience and tenderness towards Jacinda when the rest of the pride is cruel stole my heart. As with Firelight, Vanish leaves us with a cliffhanger ending - big things are about to go down and everyone involved may not survive the experience. I cannot wait to find out what happens next in this fabulous series!

This is one of my favorite books. Its possibly more simple, and could be read by YAs, but I love it. The characters, emotions and relationships are so great. Maybe its because I love old Jewish men, but this is great.

Currently reading this, its an interesting book. Some flaws - its rather dated, which is pretty glaring since its supposed to be a futuristic story. I guess Heinlein didn't expect women's lib to go very far. Also, some of the major character's dialogue is like something from a 50's gangster movie. And, it includes one of the most unintentionally funny moments I've ever had during reading - "thou art God!" Still, there are some intriguing ideas present, and it is rather engrossing. I'd rate it about 3 - 3.5 stars.

Great survey of the various attempts of Christian theologians to describe the relationship of Christianity to the world's religions. Lays out a spectrum beginning with a traditional evangelical view to the newest movements of comparative theology. Really fascinating. Knitter is a great writer so it keeps things moving well.
