Mich hat dieses Buch gleich zu Anfang an diese Serie erinnert, in der Thomas Fritsch als Erzähl-Onkel gängige Märchen (um-)erzählt und dabei auf die Schippe nimmt. Denn Karen Duve hat auch diesen gewissen unterhaltsam-spöttischen Unterton, während sie uns an ihrem Märchen der etwas anderen Art teilhaben lässt. Auf den ersten Blick mag es sich vielleicht um eine Geschichte im typischen "Es war einmal..."-Stil handeln, aber immer wieder kommen Witz, Ironie und eine gute Portion Schadenfreude durch. Es war eine schöne Abwechslung einmal nicht bis in die hintersten Gefühlswinkel der Charaktere vorzudringen und ihnen stattdessen einfach nur dabei zusehen zu können, wie sie mit Anlauf in das nächste mehr oder minder magische Fettnäpfchen springen. Für Freunde der üblichen romantisch-fantastischen Erzählungen könnte das zugegeben etwas zäh werden. Aber wer Sarkasmus spricht, der dürfte sich mit diesem Buch bestens unterhalten fühlen. Die Charaktere sind nicht realistisch oder tiefgründig und auch keine Identifikationsfiguren. Aber sie sind mit ihren überspitzten Charaktereigenschaften so herrlich unterhaltsam, dass mich das kein bisschen gestört hat. Vom Ritter auf der Suche nach seiner holden Jungfrau über den wandernden Sänger auf unfreiwilligen Abwegen bis zur nicht ganz so edelmütigen Prinzessin wird hier wirklich alles parodiert, was nicht bei Drei auf den Bäumen ist. Und spätestens mit der Begründung für Prinz Diegos Vegetarismus war ich vollauf von dieser Strategie überzeugt! Frau Duve hat sich wirklich Mühe dabei gegeben, überzogene und trotzdem liebenswerte Charaktere zu zeichnen, die den Leser (gerne auch auf eigene Kosten) zum Lachen bringen. Dieses Ziel hat auch die Handlung. "Die entführte Prinzessin: Von Drachen, Liebe und anderen Ungeheuern" erzählt wie der Titel schon vermuten lässt kein klassisches, geradlinges Abenteuer und auch keine herzzereißende Liebesgeschichte. Vielmehr gibt es die Entführung der Prinzessin als Start- und ihre "Rettung" als Ziellinie. Dazwischen kann man letzteres auch gerne mal aus den Augen verlieren, wenn man als Leser in den jährlichen Drachen-Wettkampf oder die nächste botanische Großoffensive der Königin Baskariens stolpert. Die Autorin hat ein bewundernswertes Händchen für Situationskomik (Ich sage nur "Der will nur spielen" :totlach: ) und ich habe recht früh damit aufgehört, meine zahlreichen Lachanfälle zählen zu wollen. Fazit: Dieses Buch ist mehr Parodie als klassisches Märchen und bietet damit beste Unterhaltung für Freunde von gepflegtem Sarkasmus in mittelalterlich-fantastischer Umgebung. Die ideale Lektüre für alle, die gerne lachen und schon immer gerne die ganze Wahrheit über manch verbreiteten Märchenglaube gewusst hätte.

I think I read this already, but I'm not sure...

I love Annie Proulx's writing and I also love books about the West and meditative works on the natural world. Add these likes with my passion for HGTV and this book seemed like a natural fit for me. Ms Proulx is a wonderful writer but I was not as enthralled with this book as I had expected. I would have liked more information on the process and decisions that led to the design of this massive house. I felt that much of the design for the house was based on snap decisions and not environmentally well thought out. I perhaps should be heartened that such a careful writer can be human when it comes to building a dream house. The book begins with a short genealogical discussion of the author's family. I wasn't taken with this part of the book. The real strength of the book is in the chapters where Ms Proulx observes and comments on the comings and goings of the avian population around Bird Cloud. Here the writing is compelling. The portion of the book dealing with the history and mismanagement of the cattle industry and the terrible toll recreational hunting took on the wildlife of the West during the early part of the Twentieth Century is also quite interesting. I didn't feel connected to the portions of the book where the author discusses construction mistakes and costly delays. Somehow I couldn't feel the author's connection to the actual home.

Moderately interesting story about an orphaned dragon struggling to deal with hunters determined to wipe out all dragons. Typical of a novel designed to be a series, it's bloated. Too many subplots and it drags. It's a pity, because it starts out really well. I think if the book were edited more severly, it would have been really, really good.

Entertaining in parts, by the end I could not get over how self-obsessed this woman is. How come not one of the wise people she encounters on her journey had the guts to tell her that the best way to find yourself is often through real realtionships with others? I imagine it would be difficult to forge a friendship with someone so inwardly motivated.

While I enjoyed this book, I also found it disturbing somehow. It was almost too much being privy to every thought and motivation of the characters. I did feel the writing style was pretty unique and I kind of enjoyed the jumps back and forth in time for each character. It was a pretty quick read but definitely not "light" reading.

I recently used Lonely Planet Southern Africa as my guide while traveling through Southern Africa. Excellent resource, had all the information I sought, quick and easy at hand.

Finally a five star book. A lot of this story is about the family over time, coming from the 'old country', in this case Grecian part of current day Turkey. What effect do all the actions, opinions, culture and biology have on a person. The author's style is straightforward. There are no sweeping poetical or other descriptive passages except to directly indicate the world as perceived by the main character at the time. If I had to summarize I would say life is complicated but we all get through it. I like to include a quote. This is a favorite passage: p.217 . . . that the words we have in English for emotions are too simple . . . I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic traincar constructions like, say, "the happiness that attends disaster." Or, "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy." I'd like to show how "intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members" connects with "the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age." I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar."

This is a fast paced thriller from start to finish. David Ellis knows hot to tell a story and keeps the plot moving along. Jason Kolarich goes to work for the state to find out who murdered a potential witness from one of his earlier trials. If you're looking for a solid, fast paced thriller, don't pass this one up.
