I. Couldn't. Put. It. Down!! This book (or these books, as it's actually two in one) has an infectious quality to it - one of those stories that makes you get so wrapped up in the characters that you smile and frown along with them as you read. Bujold is one of those writers that manages to keep the pace moving along quickly, excitedly, even as she inserts a lot of sweetness and important character moments. In addition, her themes are powerful and make this book a great one to read at those points in life where you feel stuck, disillusioned, powerless, or dull. A dose of Cordelia will pump the life back in ya.

My full review was posted March 2009 at Polishing Mud Balls: http://ibeeeg.blogspot.com/2009/03/ou... I Loved this Book!!! . . . The first sentence It wasn't a very likely place for disappearances, at least at first glance. Outlander is fascinating story told from the view-point of Claire. I found myself fascinated and liking Claire from the start. I mean, gosh, she is a former combat nurse!! As a nurse myself, and one who served in the military (Ok...nothing big there but I still was in the militaryand proud that I did serve as I did in the reserves), I am intrigued with stories that involve a combat nurse. This facet of Claire brought in a dimension to the story that added great believability for me. Now, that is not the only reason why I like Claire - she is a feisty, she has a sharp tongue and she truly is a compassionate woman. I really enjoyed how she survived, how she utilized her skills, how she knew when to obey and knew when to put her own mind into decisions. I really like Claire. Claire is not my only reason for liking Outlander. I really,really,really like Jaime....

A truly fantastic book - couldn't put it down. Took a few chapters to get into it but Niffenegger's time-transcending love is hypnotic, painful, deep, and beautiful.

SOme poeple consider this nover something about Fantasy, i believe this is a novel about WAR, to know it and hate it. i love the Folklore (Poems) inside the page too much and alos i like the way story goes, this is a spiritual novel for considering one face, to believe that aim is To Make Love, Not War.

This is my second time through this one. I remember three things very vividly from the last time: the way the witch brought back a bad guy to ask him a few questions (after she had killed him, of course), the weird rat-thing, dodo-thing, and dog-thing that are (mostly) loyal to the Princess, and the radio host that tries to explain why the water levels are so high (it's because someone messed with the moon). This story is almost perfect. It has a few recurring characters (Dream and Death, plus Matthew, plus Barbie from the second volume, the Doll's House), and they are woven in to this story smoothly and without any need to think too hard about it. In the first eleven pages you meet fourteen characters in a mind-bogglingly brilliant manner. In the "cold open" you hear from Prinado, Luz, and Wilkinson (plus you learn that the Tantoblin is probably dead), the Cuckoo, and Martin Tenbones. They are scared and worried and for some reason in a desolate winter landscape. Then you meet Barbie, Wanda, Thessaly, Hazel, Foxglove, and George who all live in the same run down apartment complex. Barbie's beautiful. Wanda's probably a transexual. Thessaly's sweet. Hazel and Foxglove are a lesbian couple. George is grumpy. Then we meet Dream/Morpheus and Matthew. These characters have distinct personalities and quirks after only eleven pages. It's really amazing how Gaiman and company did that. Plus the rest of the story is great. Plus it has a crazy enthusiastic introduction by Samuel R. Delany. Does anyone want to borrow it?

Flimsy plot. Lack of credible character motivation. No conflict. Hardly memorable.

Though I've been a McEwan fan since I first read Enduring Love, I've long avoided reading his debut collection of short stories. They've turned out to be everything I'd heard about them: perverse, disgusting, creepy, twisted, dark... and undeniably amazing. I don't want to dwell on any individual story, or give all of the surprises away, but I'll try to explain why I liked them regardless of the content. The very first story, Homemade, I really still don't like. It begins as a story of two adolescents who hatch a plan to pay a girl in thier class to flash them - simple enough - and somehow winds up being about the narrator's attempt to rape his sister. Not only was the latter half difficult to enjoy, but I kept wondering why it followed the first half at all. But, making up for that, the next story Solid Geometry, made me laugh perhaps harder than I ever have laughed before. The twist is too good to give away, but let it suffice to say that it involves a mathematician, his annoying wife, a penis preserved in formaldahyde, and hidden spatial dimensions. From there, the stories went up and down. Some, like Cocker at the Theatre or Disguises, seem light (and short) and not worthwhile. Others, like Last Days of Summer and Butterflies, are bizarre and dark, but wonderful. Butterflies, like the following story, Conversation with a Cupboard Man, actually do the most difficult thing of all - making you sympathize with a narrator who is a child molester, and another who is raised as a small child well into adulthood. These achieve the trancendancy of something like Lolita, where a skillful narrator can guide you into the dexterous and deviant mind of a sociopath, and better, make you nearly love them. The title story - First Love, Last Rites - was well worth getting to. In it, two young lovers waste a summer away together, catching crabs (non-venereally) and hunting the rat that lives in their walls. It's the rare sort of story where nearly nothing seems to happen, and yet everything feels poignant. The final scene - again, can't give it away - took my breath away. All in all, I'm glad I finally sucked it up and read it. It proves to me what I've always hoped - that, in the right hands, any material can find its way into beauty. I'm glad that Ian McEwan found other subjects - widely varied in his later career (which spans literary genres with ease) because it really is that incredible range that makes him such an incredible writer. Thinking on it now, even many of the great literary giants often seemed stuck in a particular mode or subject matter, be it hunting and fishing, the lives of the well-t0-do, or the sagas of mythical Southern counties... but I get the feeling McEwan could dive in and out of any of these arenas with mastery. And just as easily he could write about cross-dressers and street thugs and people from Mongolia. Sooner or later I'll make my way through the remaining McEwan novels (only a handful left) but now that I've gone all the way to the start, I feel more confident than ever that he is our greatest living writer.

The Lucky One was a light, easy and absorbing romantic read. It wasn't one of Nicholas Spark's better novels but the story flowed well and the characters were interesting but the book did tend to get very predictable and clichéd towards the end. I didn't like the ending at all! It was poorly developed and felt very forced and rushed. It's a good book to read on the beach during a hot sunny day. Three stars!

I was beginning to wonder what all the hubbub was about this book because I was a good ways into it before I ever started liking it. Then I got immersed into the beginning of a wonderful romance only to have it interrupted by what I would call a brief commercial and then when the regularly scheduled program comes back on it's "to be continued" (sigh) Overall I did like the story though. It was fresh and the chimaera fascinated me as well as the teeth trades which was pretty wicked but yet cool in a way. I thought it was awesome for Karou to be able to grow her hair blue. That would be neat! I feel as though I liked the story enough to pick up the next book because I just have to know what happens next!
