I love a book that is both able to be read in a day and good enough to keep me reading and wanting more. The ending surprised me (can we say plot twist) on one hand but on the other it was expected. Still, a great story by an author with a nice straightforward style.

well, totally predictable, but i loved this. i loved it as much or more than anything else i've read of hers. her language is straightforward and strong and her subjects are so finely wrought... i love that the violence that she mentions in her title underscores each piece, adding a kind of vibration to it. the poem may be about a plate, but we know better -- and we feel in "plate" the possibility of destruction. that is it: the violence of the title is really a potential violence, a threat under which we all live everyday. that is what provides the thrum and vibration beneath these poems.

One of my very earliest reads, this continues to be a favorite story, especially in the dreary days of March, when I await the renewal of my own garden!

I didn't find this hilarious; I found it, well, mildly entertaining. I read it on my husband's recommendation, and also since I had just finished Precious Bane and this was written as a parody of the 'Shropshire novels'. To be honest, I preferred the work it was trying to send up.

I don't think I've ever been so engrossed in a book like this one, and enjoyed it so much (even recommended it) but then suddenly half way through the story something happened and I got the literary rug pulled out from under me. How can something go from an "awesome wow" to a fizzled bunch of yuck? Since I happen to be a person who suffers from chronic pain, I found the main premise of this story to not only be intriguing but personally touching - It's about pain suddenly giving off light in everyone's bodies (the illumination). I filled a few days thinking about, and discussing this subject. I even enjoyed the subplot about a "traveling" love journal, tragically lost by the original writer. So having the story suddenly change from an endearing page-turner to a chore of a read, was rather jarring and confusing. I managed to continue reading the entire book to see if it would get better, but alas it never improved. All that was left was repetitive, people had pain and light came shooting out of their skin, yes, I got that point, but I need something more to happily continue on! There was no final explanation or even an ending thought to leave readers something more to think about, nothing. How sad, I think it could have been a great read, but the author couldn't keep up the plot and develop it into anything more substantial.

BOOK REVIEW TAX ARBITRAGE The trawling of the international tax system By Nigel Feetham Spiramus ISBN: 978-1907444-43-2 www.spiramus.com LEGAL, YET IMMORAL! HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TAX ARBITRAGE. An Appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers “International tax arbitrage is a form of legitimate tax planning.” So declares Nigel Feetham, the author of this really quite enlightening, fascinating and thought provoking book, which sets out to explain arbitrage: what it is, what it does and why it has engendered such controversy, particularly in the UK -- even though, like it or not, it’s legal. As a partner at a leading Gibraltar law firm and Visiting Professor at Nottingham Law School, Nottingham Trent University, Feetham is both an international lawyer and an academic. His book is therefore useful if you wish to understand the ins and outs of arbitrage -- and it is not to be unexpected that he emerges as an extremely competent advocate of the practice. ‘Tax Arbitrage’ is, in his words, ‘unashamedly not a technical tax book nor is it a typical law book. As such, it’s as much intended for…interested (laymen) and business people as it is for tax practitioners and students’. As mentioned in the book’s introduction, arbitrage is one of two kinds of international or cross-border tax structuring (we assume that means avoidance?). One emanates from zero tax jurisdictions, commonly termed ‘offshore’ or ‘tax havens’. The other is ‘tax arbitrage’ – for which there is apparently no single definition and in which, because of its specialized nature, there are no more than three-hundred practitioners worldwide. Feetham has therefore set out to demystify tax arbitrage. He examines some of the resultant press coverage, including some recent court cases, as well as campaigning by certain pressure groups. He also considers the confusion over the boundary between ‘legality’ and morality’ as well as the difference between ‘avoidance’ (legal) and ‘evasion’ (illegal), an issue which should of course be of abiding interest to lawyers, accountants and others in the financial services industry. Basically, tax arbitrage is a ‘commercial activity that...seeks out differences in tax rules in two or more jurisdictions to achieve a tax benefit.’ The term seems to have originated in the Wall Street Journal in 2006 in which ‘tax arbitrage’ was described as a system which ‘plays off one nation’s tax system against another to reduce the banks’ tax bills’. Subsequently, the term became rather better known when the post-banking crisis finally emerged, with governments (make that taxpayers!) having to bail out financial institutions – hence the topicality of this well-written book and the interest it will inevitably create. For further research, the book provides useful sources relating to this highly specialized subject, together with Table of Cases, appendices and index. The publication date is 1 March 2011 and this work gets the informative legal balance on tax arbitrage just right.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book; the story, the setting, the characters and the outcome. Not one on Koryta's Lincoln Perry series (which I also like), but it would be fun to see more of this main character, Frank Temple III.

I am sooo exited to be writing my first review! And what a way to start! Rick Riordan's story is fresh and delightful, not to mention side-splittingly funny! The Lightning Thief did have some small points that bugged me, but they were down right insignificant to how much I enjoyed this book! Were shall I start? How about chapter titles! Some authors just skip them, but others go to all the trouble of summing up events in brief sentences. Now, I'm not saying authors who write chapter titles are better than those who do not, I'm just saying, when the story apropetly needs to be lightend, a joke could easliy be placed at the begining of each chapter. Here's The Lightning Thief's first chapter title: "I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher", Awesome, right? :D Writing style is really hard for me to describe, it's like a... a smell that you don't have the vocabulary to explain to others. The closest word I can use to describe The Lightning Thief's style is fresh. I know, it's hard to imagine a book being fresh, but try reading the book and see for yourself. :) Perfect characters really get on my nerves. Percy on the other hand, is perfectly flawed. He has a temper, and the nick name "Seaweed Brain" is kind of a spot-on description of him. All that made him feel absolutely real to me. So, as it turns out, all supposedly "bad" weather - ie. rain, hail, ect. - does not pass over Camp Half-Blood. Why does this bother me? Well, I don't like sunny days. Why? I have no idea. Maybe I'm a vampire (awesome! :)), or maybe I'm just a true north-westerner. At any rate plants need water, so the campers would have to water the countryside single-handedly or watch it crumble away into a desert. See, if I were in Percy's shoes, I would be a lot colder to Poseidon. Percy was undecided about how to act to him, but me? I would just glare. Oh, yeah and sorry if you don't know what I'm talking about. :) But, remember all the faults are severely overruled by the benefits of exploring this magical world. I am honored to grant The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan a strong 5 stars. * * * * *
