Archetypal dark twisted Iain Banks book - enslaved wasps, bleak Scottish islands, dogs on fire... Good stuff.

A trilogy-- It's one of those great portraits of humanity, like you might associate with the work of Tolstoy. It won the Nobel for literature in 1928. If you are moved at all by the idea of human nature struggling with both a physical and spiritual identity, or interested by a setting in medieval Norway, I highly recommend it. It follows the life of one woman from childhood to her death-- there are no cliff-hangers or use of vague prose to make things sound artistic, just the dramatic tension of consequences unfolding from past actions. Its a love story (or rather many intertwined) but I wouldn't call it romantic. Somehow, following life as the author does in simplicity of form shows that each life in itself is an exquisitie work of art. I'm waxing poetic, but I really enjoyed the series. The characters are the kind of characters you'll think about outside of the context of the plot as you go about your own life. The writing in translation has an old-fashioned flavor which gives the writing a lot of character, but it is never heavy-handed or awkward (as REAL writing from this time period often is, as I know from painful exposure :). example: "Kristen drew a long breath- ay, she remembered. She had bidden the twins go on an errand up to the saeter- but when she came out into the courtyard the horse was there, grazing, with the pack-saddle on its back, and her sons running about and playing at ball. When she chid them angrily for this, Skule flung the bat from him in a towering rage- But she remembered best what came after- How, as she went about after, one eye quite closed by the swelling of the lid- the brothers looked at her and at Skule, and shrank from him as though he were a leper- though Naakkve had beaten him mercilessly first. And Skule wandered away, and sat boiling with defiance and shame under a hard, scornful mien. But when in the evening she was standing putting off her clothes in the dark, he stole up to her- said nothing, but took her hand and kissed it. And, when she touched his shoulder, he cast his arms about her neck and pressed his cheek to hers- his was cool and soft and still a little rounded; she felt 'twas a child's cheek still- he was but a child, after all, this headstrong, fiery youth- 'That have I, Skule- so fully, that God alone knows, for I cannot tell you, how fully I have forgiven it you, my son!' A moment she stood with her hand on his shoulder. Then he grasped her wrists, gripped them so tight that she winced with pain- and the next moment he flung his arms about her with the same passionate, fearful, bashful tenderness as that other time. 'My son- what ails you?' whispered the mother, in fear. She felt in the dark that the man shook his head. Then he let her go ..."

Title: The Maze of Bones Author: Rick Riordan Series: The 39 Clues #1 Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Summary: Minutes before she died Grace Cahill changed her will, leaving her decendants an impossible decision: You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue. Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world’s most powerful family. Everyone from Napoleon to Houdini is related to the Cahills, yet the source of the family power is lost. 39 clues hidden around the world will reveal the family’s secret, but no one has been able to assemble them. Now the clues race is on, and young Amy and Dan must decide what’s important: hunting clues or uncovering what REALLY happened to their parents. Review: Fast-paced, action-y, and full of clues. It was great. Things I Loved: All the Cahills. I can vividly picture all of them, and that’s always fun for a reader. Things I Hated: I didn’t hate the book for this, but it was a little elementary and simple. I mean, it’s not the book’s fault that I read it in sixth grade, but I was hoping for something a little more complex.

I liked the way Garcia Marquez tells stories. I think he is a very good story teller. My "problem" was with the object of his stories... I did not like what the book was about, the direction in which he detailed and constructed his characters.

I shamelessly admit I loved this book and I am not usually that fond of warm-hearted animal memoirs even though I'm a cat lover. However the combination of Dewey's escapades and the author's own personal stories kept me interested. Admittedly it is a light feel-good read and only took me an evening to read it but I actually have to say I feel better off for reading it. Now back to that Chuck Palahniuk novel;)

A great story with rich descriptions of American life at the turn of the century

"The mist darkened and edged aside as the anchored ship loomed into view. the boat was approaching her starboard bow and past the long tapering jib-boom. Like Bolitho's new uniform on the wey jetty, the Destiny seemed to shine through the drifting muck. From her lithe and buff hull to her three mastheads she was a thoroughbred. All her shrouds and standing rigging were freshly blacked down, her yards crossed, and each sail neatly furled to match its neighbour."p12 Richard Bolitho is now an officer, newly promoted to third lieutenant. His jump from midshipman's berth to wardroom is a significant one and he's been assigned to a new ship, Destiny. The crew has been tasked with a secret mission in the Caribbean involving revolutionaries. Britain is currently at peace but there are stirrings in the American colonies. Along the way Bolitho runs into pirates, storms and illness. He also must decide where his loyalities lie as his captain makes it clear that his command comes first, before king and country. This story is chock full of action. We not only flashback to where Bolitho meets his trusty coxswain Stockdale, we also get great battles on land and sea. Bolitho gets romantically involved and comes close to death. The variety within the plot keeps things interesting. I really liked the dynamics among the crew. Captain Dumaresq was just the right amount of crazy to frustrate both the reader and Bolitho. This story also showed how Bolitho handled his new responsibilities. He's not just one of the crew anymore and has trouble adjusting as an 18 year old trying to tell men three times his age what to do. It's been my experience that romance in books or movies about war tend to ruin the plot. It's no different here. The romantic subplot was unnecessary and detracted from the story. Overall though, I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

LOVED this book. I loved the Detroit setting and history (I'm from the area) and Eugenides' writing style. I was also impressed with how Eugenides gave his characters some weird and disturbing traits yet still made you care about them. In this book he was a master at weaving the story and the family together. Ok, so not the most eloquent review for a book I loved but you just have to read it and see what I mean.
