What a fantastic book. I truly have come closer to my Heavenly Father thru after reading only the first 2 discourses. They are phenomenal! I would recommend them to anyone and everyone - especially if you are coming to God thru repentance. The second discourse "Come Unto Christ" is EXCELLENT!

I don't have the box set, but I do own every one of the Series of Unfortunate Events so I figured instead of listing every single book in a review I'd just do this. Deliciously addictive series of books that should not be missed by anyone!

This book, Letting Go of Words, was a real help to me. I come in from print media and this book helped me shape my mind for web writing. I recommend it to anyone interested in slimming down your word count, but at the same time getting your message out there.

I felt this was a good introduction to Wonder Woman, at least I wasn't overly confused. I didn't care for the overwhelming theme of self-doubt throughout the book. It got a little old after the third person asked Wonder Woman if she knew who she was. I also have a hard time with the JLA. It's almost as if having all these super heroes together makes each individual one less significant. For instance I love the Batman comics that I've read that only focus on Batman, when you start introducing Superman it's not too bad, but the entire JLA just makes him seem like a person with a whole lot less depth, just another fighting machine. Maybe I just need to be exposed to some decent stories with the JLA involved. I'm assuming it also be similar with the Avengers. Though, when I think of it, the Watchmen had a lot of heroes involved in the story, and I really enjoyed it. I guess Moore just spent a little more time developing each of the characters in the story. Wonder Woman was fairly well developed here, but like I mentioned, Picoult spent a little too much effort on trying to make her seem more human.

I think this book has been my favorite so far of the series. Good characters and informational. At the end of each chapter it explains what is fiction and what is fact. Left me hanging for the next book.

This book reads like a soap opera but is incredibly interesting. I thought it was a great beach book. It did make me really interested in this crazy period of time in history.

Wow! Amazing book, but if there isn't a second one I'll have a fit!

Definitely worthy of being the sequel to Once Upon a Marigold!

Having grown up not far from Tarrytown NY where the Ledgend of Sleepy Hoolow was based! And having visited there while in elementary school, I was intrigued by the idea of a story that use Irving's story as inspiration. I also must note that I am writing this review after having read the entire trilogy in one sitting (ok, on weekend, but that's really not much different) so I have the benefit of having the story completed while forming my opinion of each book. The story of the first book was clearly incomplete. It was such a cliffhanger that I think I would have had a hard time waiting for the second installment. Although, I will say that the"cliffhanger" wasn't really all that unexpected. It is clear from the instant we meet Caspian that there is something off about him. When writing my synopsis for my log, I had to make Kristen a character even though it is really only her memory that we see since her memory plays such a large impact on Abbey and the events of the story (all the way through the trilogy too). Kristen and Abbey were best friends from the time they were little. They grew up in a small, albeit famous, NY town that of Sleepy Hollow. Yes! Where the story of the Headless Horseman is set. Then, Kristen dies. But Abbey doesn't really think that Kristen is dead. She won't accept it until they find her body. And when they find her body she has trouble accepting that it was an accident. She meets Caspian, a young boy she's never seen before. They start to meet and spend time together. And they fall in love. But then she discovers that Kristen was keeping secrets. She was dating someone for quite some time and he didn't want Kristen to tell Abbey. And then, we find out the truth about Caspian (see my Blog page if you want to be spoiled). It was easy to feel Abbey's grief over loosing her best friend. Anyone who has lost a friend or family member can indetify with Abbey. There were moments when the grief felt so real that I had tears in my eyes because I was reminded of loved ones that I have lost. The emotions shine through. It was also very easy to feel like we get to know the characters of Abbey and Caspian. And there is enough mystery around Nikolas that it is easy for a reader to stay engaged. Unlike the other YA supernatural love stories it is clear from the moment (at the end of this book) we learn the truth about Caspian that while Abbey and Caspian face a huge problem when considering how to be together, we aren't likely to get an easy or traditional just kill the bad guys kind of ending. This book really is an introduction to the story. There is very little payoff and lots of questions asked or raised. While we learn the biggest part of the truth about Caspian, it seems like there might be more to the story and a reader needs to be patient throughout the trilogy to get the payoff as to what that all is. The quotes from Irving's story were clever although they sometimes got my hopes up having me thinking I would find something out in a chapter and but then not having the connection be very clear. And Caspian's big secret was pretty easy to guess too so I would like to have seen a little more subtly in the foreshadowing ability of the author. The stuff that felt hard to swallow was how reckless Abbey was after having a friend who just died. And all of the totally swoon worthy things that Caspian says and does. What teenage boy is that awesome? He is almost a little too thoughtful. But he is adorable at the same time and he is easy to root for. It was easy to see why Abbey would fall for him and at the end, I was left hoping that at the end of the series we would find a way to see Abbey and Caspian together. As for the potential love triangle with Ben, the second book will address this and I for one wasn't disappointed. This was a nice start to a new series. I do think it paid to read all three together back to back though. I am not sure I would have enjoyed the characters as much if I hadn't read it that way. It would have been too hard to remember some of the little details about each character which weren't really integral from a a plot perspective but were if you wanted to understand the characters and feel the emotions they dealt with. Overall I enjoyed it. And it makes me nostalgic for a reread of Irving's great ghost story.

On the first page, this book promises to deliver a murder, which by itself would be a good enough reason to keep reading. I kept reading, though, for the characters. Using an omniscient narrator, McCullers enters the heads of her five main characters--a Captain and a Major in the army, both of their wives, and a Private--all of whom are somehow broken. McCullers handles them all with stunning sympathy and love. This book delivers intrigue, sex, naked horseback riding, a fey little Filipino manservant, and yes, a murder, all within the confines of an army barracks, and all while making you care about these people as much as the author does.
