Good solid start to a series. For a romantic fantasy, the romance part was slow moving. But it is only the first book and there's plenty of room for the relationship to grow. The characters are interesting, one in particular is obnoxious. I'm interested in seeing how things develop.

What objects are the fountains Of thy happy strain? What fields, or waves, or mountains? What shapes of sky or plain? What love of thine own kind? what ignorance of pain? 'Nuff said.

It took me a long (like 2 months or more) to finish this book. I kept putting it down and just never got around to it. With that said, there were a few parts of the book that I really, really liked. And then other parts that I just didn't care about. Part I-- Italy and indulging in pleasure-- especially good since I've been to Italy, and this part of the book also gives the background about why the author is on this trip-search for balance. Reading other reviews, I found many readers like the Italy leg the least (!??!)--it's my favorite. Part II -- India. good night--I read most of this section of the book by reading/scanning the center third of the pages. Despite a absolute dislike for the narrator at this point, there was still a bit of a good voice and funny-ish self deprecation, but I just can't seem to get interested in the India ashram setting, the hours of Yoga meditation and it's my cynical side that rolls my eyes whenever anyone says with seriousness, "my Guru." But that's my apparant need to search for devotion, I guess. Some lessons learned here--but a lot of self-loathing and regression. There are plenty of other 'characters' and digressions and connections that make this a 'anyman's religion' connection and not just a 'hindu' thing, but.... Still, this is the section that made it a two-month or more read for me. The best line of the whole book is from this section though: a friend of the author tells her something like, (?) Stop living your life with a Wishbone where your backbone should be. Love that line. Part III,--Bali-- better. But did she really change? I think so, in the big picture aspect. I really dislike her still, and at this point of the book, I was looking forward to being done with her. In all, it's good to read about other people's searches for balance if you too have been on a search or think you need to be. Not a book for Pure Cynics.

the writing is beautiful and elegant, the characters are sparse and yet developed, each person you meet you remember. i haven't read a book in a long time that i wanted to read so slowly, just to enjoy the writing, but the writing was so overwhelming that you lost the story. i was a little disappointed in the ending - i feel she kind of didn't know what to do at the end - but it was excellent nonetheless. surprisingly good, at least for me.

My thinking on choosing to read this: "Watership Down, about DOGS?!?" Could life be more perfect? Ooof, was I ever off-base. Granted, there's no mistaking. These are both unquestionably by the same author. Pastoral scenes are vivid, the animals' modes of thinking are vivid, the scale is epic... and yes, Watership Down has head-scratchy moments where the animal's perspective makes something familiar to humans alien, scenes of terror that get practically drug-trippy, parts that wring your heart because terrible horrible things happen to innocent animals... and Plague Dogs has all of those too. BUT. The dark and scary is all the darker and scarier. The sunniness of the lapine outlook, against all expectation, is not copied in the canine outlook. (If there's any animal happier than a dog--well, any land animal, dolphins have an unfair advantage, being as they're already grinning--I defy you to show me a rival to a happy dog... I do think Adams emphasized the servility a lot to convey how abused the dogs were, but he ought to have acknowledged the natural buoyancy of dogs.) The rabbits, Adams tells us, shake off each night of terrors like a dream when the next day dawns and summer warms everyone up again. The two plague dogs are only worn at more and more. I think part of it is the actual damage done to the animals. Snitter, the Fiver of this book, is intelligent but tortured. And he's not grounded as well by Rowf, his companion, the way Fiver is by Hazel, because Rowf too has been tortured. Moreover, man is more explicitly the enemy here, and unlike dispassionate crows, badgers, dogs, cats, etc, of Watership Down, the inhumanity of men in in Plague Dogs is personal, and inventive. The ending is torturous to the animal lovers who read it (namely myself,) but I have to say, it fits perfectly. And I'm willing to take the half-comfort it offers because those poor plague dogs? They deserve a rest.

This is one of my favorite books. I actually cried at one point in the book, it really moved me. This is such a great story! I recommend it to everyone!

Virginia Woolf thought that women writers (her contemporaries, anyway) tended to write anthropologically instead of writing from their own innards.

i've always loved cookbooks that include pictures. or maybe you remember those huge books about science and nature and such that had lots of step-by-step pictures about how to make things. this is one of those books, but for adults. famed cuisine expert anne willan does an informative tutorial on making all kinds of breads (although i don't know if it's her or a hand model in the photographs). the breads look fun to make and tasty, although i can't speak for the wheat bread i made because i left it in the oven four hours too long (long story). i'll have to get it from the library again and try once more.

Review originally posted at www.paranormalchick.com This is the eighth and next to last installment in the Riley Jenson Guardian series. Riley is a half vampire/half werewolf. She is in love with two very different men, Quinn a vampire, and her wolf soul mate Kye. Problem is Kye is a controlling, loves to kill for sport, type of werewolf. He’s a killer for hire and he has no scruples. In order not to give away the plot I’ll try not to talk about Kye too much, because poor Riley has seen a lot of him in this book. At first I thought it was kind of cool that Riley’s wolf soul mate was bat shit crazy, but it really just made me very sad for her. I guess if she can’t be with him at least she can be with Quinn her vampire sweetie. Riley and the Directorate are chasing their tails trying to find out who is beheading these vampires. They are looking for connections, and being evaded at every turn. They also have a second case of women being murdered. There are no signs of forced entry and the only smells are of pleasure and sex. Half the time is spent trying to figure out if there is a connection between the two. We see Vinny again, she’s the emo vampire with the crazy love nest. We also get a couple of scenes with Dia, the psychic, and her darling violet-eyed daughter Risa. Most of all I love the characters that Riley works with, Kade, Jack, Sal, and her brother Rhoan. Riley gets an unexpected proposal from her brother Rhoan and his mate Liander. I am anxious to read the final installment to see where that will take us. I can only hope for the best with the disappointments at the end of this book. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the book and I know some things are necessary, but it doesn’t mean I can’t be sad about it.
