This is a very good book based on a true life event. It is a fascinating look at 1890 Egypt and the mores of Victorian England with a little romance thrown in. I really enjoyed reading it.

Charming and funny but surprisingly violent (in a charming and funny way). There's a lot of chopping off of limbs and heads, a pile of decapitated wolf carcuses, and a scene in which the Scarecrow breaks the necks of forty crows. Also the Cowardly Lion proves his courage by killing a spider-like monster while it sleeps--highly questionable.

Very very good, but I'm depressed about having no more Octavia Butler to read so I'm not finishing Imago.

I think I actually want to give this book 4.5 stars. This is the best book that I have read by Neil Gaiman. I can see future books with Nobody Owens, the main character. Similar to the jungle book with a boy not raised by his own but then ties to all the paranormal YA books. But despite the similarities it is still a fun and different story.

This is one great book. I can't believe we'll have to wait until next year for the final part of the trilogy.

The essence of a good author and great story is one that you savor, but can read through quickly. Hillary Jordan is just that and this stunning tale is a combined work of beauty, simplicity and emotional complexity. The story centers around two families in the Mississippi Delta during the 1940's: one white, one black. A particularly moving and sensitive book that explores racism, class divides, the byproducts of war and family relationships, with each theme starkly portrayed and real to the core. I could not help crying when I came to the end. I found myself comparing this novel to The Help and although it's not an entirely fair comparison, I enjoyed Mudbound much, much more. Mudbound will stay with me always.

This is, hands-down, the only dream-interpretation book that has made any sense to me. Betty Bethards (now deceased, I believe) writes that she channeled and communicated with her spirit guides to de-mystify almost 2000 common dream symbols. Whether or not you believe in spirit guides, it's worth picking this book up to see if your dreams start making sense with these interpretations. Bethards also discusses how meditation can be helpful to declutter the mind (the object being to clear the head so that the dreams contain more important messages) and gives a quick, easy rundown on how to begin. She believes dreams are a tool of spirituality and that they contain messages for you. After owning this book for almost ten years, I can definitely vouch for its usefulness. Nightmares hardly ever disturb me as much as they used to; I just reach for the book and try to figure out what my subconscious (or guide) is trying to tell me. Worth the $10 I paid just for that alone!

Really liked it.

If you're looking for an in-depth, detailed, and chronological biography of Bill Cody or Annie Oakley, look elsewhere. The story flashes around and doubles back numerous times (I lost track of how many times McMurtry says "more of this later") which makes parts feel repetitive or simply filling pages and time. Also, half of title -- Oakley -- disappears for half of the book. On a positive note, McMurtry has an engaging style which makes this an enjoyable read, and I did learn some new facts about late 19th century America as well as biographical background on the title's two "superstars." Still, I was a bit disappointed in its depth and structure.

Fiction. It's 1983 (though you really can't tell except for how Reagan's in office) and Edward Zanni's on top of the world. It's the summer before his senior year, he's been accepted to Juilliard, and life just couldn't be better, but everything screeches to a halt when Edward's father tells him he's not paying for his son to go to acting school. So Edward and his friends pull together and make a plan. The title pretty much says it all: nerd power, capers, sexual experimentation, con artists, and cross-dressing. I really enjoyed this once I got past the opening chapters. This book starts off with a flamboyant, completely over-the-top tone, and Paula and Edward aren't introduced so much as shoved at us: a stereotypical fag hag and fag. Except Edward thinks he's straight -- I don't know WHERE he got that idea. This is a guy who sings, dances, loves musicals, name-drops Liza Minnelli, and compares himself to Bette Davis. I nearly gave up. But, around the fifth chapter, Edward admits he's attracted to men, and I decided there was hope for him yet and kept reading. I'm glad I did. Edward quickly becomes a real person, not just a one-note queer. He's brave and lazy and likes boys, and girls too, and he's scared about his future, and in love with people he can't have. The nerd across the street -- Natie Nudelman, possibly my favorite character in the whole book -- plots ways to help Edward pay his tuition, and then there's the aforementioned capering. Their group of friends has the jock, the theatre people, the nerd, and the foreign girl, but they're not stereotypes and each contributes something unexpected to the group dynamic. This basically reads just like a young adult novel, but with more actual sex. I just wish Edward could have had more positive experiences with gay sex; the few encounters he did have were mostly a result of coercion, and that's just not sexy fun. Though, for the most part, this novel is. Four stars -- good for people who like teenage sex comedies, nerd power, dressing up like nuns, (frustrated) gay lust, petty crime, blackmail, musical theatre, lesbians, and making your own family out of whoever's around. I'm already mentally standing in line for Acito's next novel.
