Not my favorite Roald Dahl, but evocative and imaginative.

This book had an interesting premise, and I am happy I read it. However, it took me a VERY long time to get through. Not the most compelling writing out there.

This is one of those books where after reading it, you want to meet the author and go out with her for drinks and/or field research.

L.G. Bass makes a stunning debut in "Sign of the Qin," the first book of a series drawing on Chinese myth and legend. Taut, lushly written and wonderfully characterized, "Sign" is an enthralling fantasy with plenty of action, mythic monsters, and a dash of romance and destiny. The emperor is horrified when he sees his newborn son, because the child has the mark of the Qin, a rebel sign, on his cheek. He throws out the child's mother, Silver Lotus, and secretly plots to kill the baby -- especially since the commoners adore him, since they believe he is the new Starlord, who will renounce his noble birth and be their savior. But the Starlord has a nursemaid and rebel allies who will do whatever it takes to keep him safe. A recent volcanic eruption has let all sorts of demons loose on the land, and the evil Lord of the Dead Yamu is also plotting against the Starlord's life, calling out vile shapeshifters and evil harpies. To combat him, the lords of heaven send the incorrigible trickster Monkey to take care of the innocent little boy as he comes closer to his rebel allies. Like a flower, "Sign" has to unfold slowly and carefully. But Bass makes it worth the while, infusing the story with lots of character development and background information. Chinese legends aren't used very often in fantasy, allowing Bass's story to seem entirely fresh and original, complete with sea dragons and conveniently-placed goddesses. Bass's writing is suitably detailed and solemn, with lots of details on swords, filthy streets and jewelry. The descriptions of things like moving tattoos or statues coming to life are astounding. But there's humor as well; the immortality-hungry Monkey provides most of it, but there is also the putrid demon kappa being defeated with good manners, or the elaborate funeral held for a woman who had only fainted. And most stunning of all are the action scenes, usually quite bloody, gritty and very fast-paced. At first glance, Prince Zong (or "little Starlord") seems like a pretty typical Child of Destiny -- he walks and talks within days of being born, and has immense wisdom. But Bass makes him a little naive and very sweet. The twin rebels (who are also sons of a sea-dragon) White Streak and Black Whirlwind are also well-drawn. Even the villains like Yamu and the snivelling Emperor are well-written. Bass provides a slow-moving but rich fantasy in "Sign of the Qin," and the finale promises more adventures to come. Fantastical, funny and grim, this is a definite must-read.

The novel is set in a number of present day cities, in a way that seems futuristic/sci-fi. I read this book in a class called "The Novel and Globalization"--and I believe having that context was helpful-at first. As the book progressed the suspence was built on the mystery of where the many relavent themes and styles converge in the plot. My favorite part of reading the book was digesting the refernces to art, architecture, and literature, throughout that acutally added meaning to the text rather than just being "name dropped" for the sake of it. I think this is one of the real reason why this novel can be creddited with dealing with the post-modern problem of recycling refernces--Gibson highlights the difference between the ones that matter and the ones that don't. My favorite example: "As the elevator doors close behind her, she closes her eyes and sees the dry petal, falling. The lonliness of ojbects. Their secret lives. Like seeing something move in a Cornell box." (A funny side note for those who've read it (no spoiler): It's being made into a movie, and an F:F:F-like forum has errupted on imdb, very funny to experience in real life after reading about it.

Interesting book that makes you think about sexuality, cheating, why men differ from women (besides the obvious way), and if we actually have a choice in our desires and sexual decisions or did our DNA set us up for disaster or success from the get go.

I am one of the only people alive, it seems, who did not read Prep. But I seriously enjoyed this book and would love to know more about which parts are fact and which parts fiction. For however much of it might be sort of true, it made me see Laura B as a much deeper and more interesting personality than ever before. And, I hate to admit, but I found the W character really charming, esp. in the beginning.
