Ms. O'Connor sure showed me a thing or two about dark humor.

Thank you so much for letting me win this free book from First Reads. I very much enjoyed the storyline, but I feel the characters did not have as much depth as I think they should. There were also more coincidences then there should have been. He just kept getting lucky. Overall it was a good read and I hope to read the next book continuing the series. Thank you.

Dreams in which the line between reality and dream is blurred always end before you want them to. And for Hawk his real dream ended much too soon, but it also ended up bringing him the love of his life. Hawk is a knight and everything that goes with it, handsome, honorable, and talented. He isn’t afraid to take on a dangerous mission to protect the future king. He even sacrifices his bachelorhood protecting Jamie, although ulterior motives might also have had a hand. Marsi is a young noble; apparent in the way she acts and talks. It is enough to make Hawk suspect her even before he realizes who she truly is. As innocent as she is it does not affect her courage. Which is good because the situations she finds herself in are her fault and to fix things Marsi must lift her chin and barrel on. Highland Hero takes an actual historical event and adds a little fiction to flush out the story, making it believable. It is a good read if you enjoy a nice love story involving a Highlander. You may find that it feels a little slow in the middle, the journey stretches out more than necessary. There is action here and there that will help keep your interest, and the best part of the book, the inn scene where Marsi’s choice of words get her a Highlander. 2.75 Stars...So close to a three but just a little too slow for me.

I have to say that I liked this book way more than I thought I would. I couldn't put this book down. I really felt for the characters and was rooting for them and mourning with them and generally just got sucked into the story. There were alot of small details that could have used more explaining but if you looked over them the story still flowed well and wasn't missing anything. I highly recommend this book to those who like sci fi/fantasy, intrigue and something that is suspensful. I was afraid this book would be predictable but it was far from it. There were many unpredictable twists but none were so extreme as to be unbelievable. It is rare to find a book of this type that isn't predictable and can keep my attention but this book was a true page turner and if you decide to read it, start it on a weekend that you don't have much to do because you won't be able to put it down.

I really enjoyed this book because I thought the author gave a nice twist to what seems to begin a Romance Novel. In the end, the message ends up being about the independence and self-fulfillment of the main character. I thought the colorful characters really added to what makes the novel unique...like the mentally disturbed finger hacking mother, her eccentric life-long friends, and a troop of Benedictine monks. The most important point that I took away from this read was that it's never too late to offer forgiveness, even if they might not accept the gesture.
4.5/5 (A-)

It's hard to recall the last time I wept over such kingly words. With that said, pick it up--it's a quick read, but one that leaves a lasting heartache (in a good way).

One of the great works of Western Literature, and yet hardly anyone reads it. While the rest of Europe was busy writing long poems about silly knights, Iceland wrote the first modern "novels", the íslendingursögur. A tragic epic spanning generations, Njals saga is understated and intensely human, while at the same time action-packed and, at times, quite funny.

a terrific and moving account of a young gay man growing up in the south during the civil rights movement. it felt timely to be reading this right now--tony kushner makes the point powerfully in the intro, so i'm going to quote a long passage: It articulates a crying need for solidarity, it performs the crucial function of remembering, for the queer community, how essential to the birth of our politics of liberation the civil rights movement was. The point, it seems to me, is not that one movement co-opts the energy or the nobility or the history of another; not that one people, rising to an angry knowledge of how it has been abused, competes for status of "most abused" with any other; but rather that we need to know the genealogies of our movements, and with that knowledge come to understand the interdependence of all liberation struggles. i'd really be fascinated to know how much of this story is autobiographical. i'm sure i'll read this again, in part to be able to devote less attention to plot and more attention to cruse's incredibly detailed artwork. at some point in the middle of reading this i read his acknowledgements at the end, and he described all the research he did on the historically accurate depiction of everything in the book--from cars and architecture to guns, movie cameras, record labels, and "other collectibles of a bygone era"--and then i really realized how much more impressive the drawings are. i've read a little bit about how cruse went deeply into debt to write this book, which took 4 years--now i feel guilty for buying the book used. he deserves my dollars! anyway, a great read, highly recommended.
