I read this book because I loved The Bridges of Madison County but it didn't leave me loving it as quite as much.

The stories were good, but it seemed like quite a few of them had unhappy endings. Not that every story should have a happy ending, but this wasn't nearly as much "fun" as Girls' Night In was, and I guess I was expecting more of the same. Overall, though, I liked the writing of most of the stories and there were at least a couple where even though they didn't have happy endings, I rather enjoyed and appreciated the morals of the stories.

Another true story from the author/illustrator's childhood.

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature. Patrick Rothfuss’s Kingkiller Chronicle is the story behind a legend — the real truth about the famous young man who has come to be known, for various reasons, as Kvothe the Arcane, Kvothe the Bloodless, the Kingkiller, etc. There are many names for, and stories about, Kvothe, but nobody knows which ones are true and which are merely based on some small kernel of truth. The Chronicler, though, is getting the scoop. He’s sitting down with Kvothe, now a humble innkeeper (how did that happen?!), over three days to learn the true story and to write it down. The Name of the Wind was Day One — when we learned about Kvothe’s early childhood and his goal to be admitted to the university so he could find out about the Chandrian — the strange beings who killed Kvothe’s parents and who nobody else seems to believe in. The Wise Man’s Fear is Day Two. For the first part of the book, Kvothe is still at the university. His problems with poverty, teachers, girls, and his enemy Ambrose continue. Though it’s a lot of the same stuff we’ve seen before, and it is a bit tiring to constantly hear about how arrogant and clever Kvothe is, I actually enjoyed this part of the book the most. Kvothe’s antics are funny, I’m a sucker for a university setting, I enjoyed the explanations of sympathy and artificing, and I just can’t help but adore Kvothe for loving the library stacks so much that he has to crawl through dirty hidden subterranean tunnels to sneak in. Yet when Kvothe leaves the university for a possible patronage, I was ready for some new scenery because his life had become a bit stagnant (the familiar cycle of admissions, trying to earn money, trying to find Denna, avoiding Ambrose’s pranks, etc). At first the change was welcome, but when Kvothe is sent off to lead a group of mercenaries to flush bandits out of the forest, the story became downright dull except for the climactic scene with the bandits. After that there’s an insufferably long episode with Tempi and the Adem which crawled on for hours in my audio version. I had to increase the playback speed so I could get through it — I was having a hard time believing in their culture (and Kvothe’s reaction to it) and, besides, I was seriously worried that Chronicler’s hand was going to seize up, or that he’d fallen asleep while Kvothe rambled on. (By the way, I recognize, from reading other reviews, that my opinion is the minority one.) The audio version, produced by Brilliance Audio, was read by Nick Podehl — an excellent choice for The Wise Man’s Fear. His voice for Kvothe is perfect and he does a great job with the other characters, too. The book is 43 hours long and it’s a great way to read this story, though you may find that you need to occasionally increase playback speed which you can do with Windows Media Player or an iPod. I’ve struggled with how to rate The Wise Man’s Fear. I love Kvothe, and it’s a lot of fun to watch him use his intelligence and his trouper skills to build his own legendary reputation. The problem isn’t the story — the problem is that the story doesn’t need to be this long. There’s a better shorter book inside The Wise Man’s Fear. ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.

Ehh... I love a good mystery but this was too cliff-hanger every at every chapter's end. Too many unanswered questions and pieces of the story left out. Where's the other half of that diamond?!??

I was referred to Crazy Love from a youth group friend and was very pleased. Francis Chan has numerous good points and perspectives throughout the book. He clearly wrote the book to push all of us readers spiritually. I believe you have to have a open mind, as well as use a higher level of thinking while reading this book. I liked how there was is a whole chapter over lukewarm Christians and identifying them, calling them out. It helps, I think, to show people that, to call them out to help us become better Christians. There also is an entire chapter with stories of great Christians that clearly have Jesus with them. It told of people giving up everything to follow Jesus and to do what was asked of them.This chapter to me was encouraging, along with the chapter about people who are "obsessed" with Jesus. Some may think Francis Chan is being hypocritical or too judgmental in this book. I do not. I think he did a very good job fulfilling his purpose of writing the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a push, or a new perspective to being completely in love with Jesus.

The Guardian is the first volume of a series of novels by Anita Stansfield. It is an exhilarating story of triumph over despair, of ancestral connection, and of the decisions that could mean the difference between eternal love or bitter tragedy.

It seems that the author did quite a bit of research, but his conclusions & assertions don't necessarily follow from the research. I am as anti-fast food as anyone, I think, and have been really interested in reading this book, but true nonfiction should be written in a fair, unbiased way and there are logical arguments that work and arguments that are based on logical fallacies. Very poorly done.
1984 was highly recommended to me by several Granville students and other friends who had already read it, so I was anticipating a grasping and action-filled story line. Although I would not classify this story as "action-packed", the story was very grasping once I got past the first 100 pages. The idea of the police watching people constantly on TV-like appliances really sparked my thoughts about how wonderful privacy is today. I was slighty disturbed but also quite impressed with Orwell's futuristic predictions. Even though most of the rules for Winston's society are not part of our laws today (thank goodness), Orwell still described many ideas that reflect parts of our current world (such as telescreens, war, and desire for power). 1984 was a thought-provoking and well-written story, but the characters' thoughts about the human mind and reality occasionally confused me and made it hard to focus on the plot.
