This book is a cut above any other fantasy book I have read so far. Takes a while to adjust to the writing style & to generally understand who is who / what is what, but once you get into it, it's compelling reading. I like the way Wolfe doesn't explain everything by way of long winded background descriptions of characters / places / politics which seems to the M-O of most fantasy writers such as Feist. Indeed he doesn't even provide a map which seems compulsory with other fantasy adventure tales. This book is only the 1st instalment of a series which I'm looking forward to getting into Vol 2 Claw of the Conciliator.

I spent most of my Sunday afternoon (May 6) finishing this book in one fell swoop. My room mate recommended it, and once I got hold of it, I couldn't put it down. Once you meet the father and son on their perilous journey along the postapocalyptic Road, you can't rest. I picked up Blood Meridian a few years ago, but since I was travelling at the time, I ended up putting it down and forgetting about it. Regardless, I was impressed by McCarthy's writing, the way his arcane vocabulary and Biblical syntax distance the frontier West from the present day and create an arena for epic storytelling. (In contrast, episodes of Deadwood, which works in the same vein--really well but in a different way--feel anachronistic.) In The Road, McCarthy ditches some of the vocabulary and curtails some of the syntax to do something similar but opposite--create an allegory of the future, again, sufficiently distanced from the present, but also distanced from that rich mythic and religious past that he works with so richly in Blood Meridian. You may not want to read this part if you haven't read the book, just because I'm giving away what never happens. The persistent aspect of the book is that the events that have destroyed civilization are never revealed. This isn't the focus of the book, so it's not a great lost, but it throws the whole story into deeper contrast because there is no easy way to make sense of their situation. The characters have little more than their own personal histories, and the few flashy bits of vocabulary that McCarthy throws in (catamite, clerestory), allude to a world of reference and understanding that is gone. In this cultural void, the relationship between the father and son takes center stage. In McCarthy's world of might and violence, it's not what they say so much as what they do, how they drive each other to survive that makes this a deep look at the father-son bond. In case you can't tell, I highly recommend it.

i like this book, but it is a bit dry in terms of pacing. it is not the sort of book that moves along easily, much like lit crit often is. but while she talks a lot about what makes books great, her treatment of the subject does not necessarily wow in the same way. i am not that far in, though, and may feel differently later on. i have continued reading this one and it does pick up. however, it is taking me quite a long time to get through a rather short- under 300 pages- book. i must make it to the end, though, as it is in the challenge list!

I really enjoyed this read. I liked how the romance took a back seat to the main characters problems and wasn't a main focal point of the story. There were a couple of surprises near the end that I didn't see coming. Can't wait to read the next one.

This book was really interesting. It is sad and hilarious and traumatizing all at the same time...be prepared. Nonetheless, I loved it, in parts I laughed so hard I cried, in other parts I just cried.

I'm not a big fan of Lindsey's, although I like her books enough to read whichever ones I get my hands on. In this one, you've got Tanya, a princess who was smuggled out of her country due to an ongoing blood feud that wiped out the rest of her family. Stefan, the son of the king who took over after her own father died, is her betrothed. He reluctantly comes to America looking for her, but her caretakers died when she was a baby and she got misplaced. He finds her running a tavern in Mississippi. I liked some aspects of this book. I loved the "setup" and have always enjoyed these rags-to-riches stories. However, my enjoyment was kind of ruined by just how disrespectful Stefan and his men are of Tanya. She is given no choice but to leave with them (they literally, seriously threaten to gag her and put her in a crate if she gives them trouble), and because of where they found her, they all from the start assume that she's a whore and often throw it in her face. Stefan finds her so attractive that he usually restrains himself only by avoiding her and by drinking heavily. A "real" hero should be able to stay sober without fear of ravishing his pretty prisoner. Tanya, on the other hand, just like all Lindsey's irrational heroines, is wildly attracted to Stefan even though he's really not very respectful of her and has violently kidnapped her from her home. Her attraction to him, portrayed as a natural and healthy thing, offended me.

An interesting account of someone going mad.

Great narrative of the core players of the 1940s Red Sox teams - Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, and Dominic Dimaggio - and how their lives are intertwined through baseball and friendship. Though the team never won a World Series and lost a few pennants by one game, the players formed bonds that transcended their accomplishments on the field.

Possibly best cover art of all time, thus far. I read this in like 2 hours straight. This is a delicious lie-based true story lie.
