Well...what can I say about this book? This is Sarah Addison Allen's third novel, and I truly adored her first two. I've described her as an optimistic Alice Hoffman...a writer who manages to create believably magical settings and realistic characters who behave in relateable ways, without Hoffman's common dark angst to her stories. (Note: I DO love Hoffman's writing too!) However, this book was a huge disappointment. In Addison Allen's first book, I was captivated by the character development of the family, by the integration of the magic to the town, and by the apple tree. In her second book, I was fascinated by her description of the cozy home purchased by a character, the enticing food descriptions, and the books one character would read (books who became characters of their own). The Girl Who Chased the Moon has no such draw for me. It is slender in size, but still could have packed more punch in its pages. Instead, it meanders about in regards to plot and character development both. We're given a simple snapshot into a few weeks to a month or so in the lives of a few main characters, who sometimes ponder the origins of their issues, but mostly just interact in extremely simplified and unbelievable plot. This alone would be fine, if the simple plot was enhanced by beautiful writing, magical descriptions, or fascinating twists. But the book was written in a monotone voice about flat characters. You really don't care what happens to them. Sure, Addison Allen tries...she attempts to paint the town itself as a magical and charming place, full of barbecued woodsmoke and magical glowing lights. And she tries to make the characters affable too...the gentle giant of a grandfather, the awkward but charming teen boy who wears straw boater hats in town...but the effort simply falls flat. These complaints, however, are not the two main reasons for my disappointment in the book. One of these sources of disappointment has already been mentioned by other reviewers...a certain similarity in a plot point to another popular series. However, it was not merely the similarity in plot, but it was the fact that the "great secret" of the book, once revealed, turned out to be.. **SPOILER ALERT...of sorts...** ...exactly what you thought it was all along. There is no surprise, no revelation, and in fact...the great secret doesn't even entirely make sense. You're left wondering what the big deal is, anyway. **END SPOILER** My other major disappointment came from the lack of a certain story element that I had come to regard as "signature Addison Allen", even after her writing only two books. As mentioned, in Garden Spells, the character of the apple tree becomes incredibly and deliciously alive. It is its own character in the story, and one who charms and delights. In The Sugar Queen, there is a character who can find messages in books that mysteriously appear whenever and wherever she needs them. These books also become characters of their own, and you find them endearing and charming. I was eager to find out what the new "inanimate animate object" would be in The Girl Who Chased the Moon, only to discover...that there was none. I suspect Addison Allen might have meant to make the pattern-shifting wallpaper the same sort of element in this book, but the wallpaper lacks the charm or magic of the other two books' animate inanimate characters. If Sarah Addison Allen wasn't such an enjoyable writer, I wouldn't be nearly as disappointed by this book. I simply would think to myself "that was pretty good" and move on. But she has set the bar high for herself, and this time fell far short. Because she's no James Patterson in the frequency of her publication, it leaves me far more disappointed that I'll now have to wait years for her next story. Sarah Addison Allen just seems to have shorthand written this story. One final example comes from the final chapter...in fact the final few pages of the book. As the book ends, THREE different times someone mentions how the situation feels "like the ending of a story." The first time, the phrase seemed a bit sugary, but I let it slide. By the third time, I was officially irked, and prepared to cynically roll my eyes when a stranger at the book's very end holds a door open for a character and says "are you ready?" Really..who holds doors open and then says "are you ready?" to someone? The phrasing was awkward and obviously meant to set up the "poetic words" at the book's end. Again, if Addison Allen wrote more frequently, I could forgive her obviously phoning this book in. But for someone with such potential who only publishes a new book every couple of years, it was a huge disappointment.

This was the first book I read about the FBI and the Mob and those kind of things, and it was definitely worth the long time to read it, because in a very weird way it is not the kind of book you finish in a couple of days, even with the fast moving plot, and interesting story line... In general it was a good, unique and interesting read... :)

I absolutely LOVED this book! Jean Craighead George turns her observations of the natural world to cats in this story about a group of feral cats trying to survive in the suburbs. The story centers around Rachet, an orange tabby, and Mike, a foster child living in a nearby home, who wants a cat but whose foster mom won't let him have one. The story describes in fascinating detail how not only cats, but other suburban animals, such as raccoons, skunks, owls, deer, foxes, and birds, survive the seasons and man-made changes in the environment. As the story progresses, Mike and Rachet slowly form a relationship, but will Rachet ever become the pet Mike wants? Read and find out. Read and learn facts you never knew about cat behavior. Outstanding story, possibly my favorite of all of her books. Highly recommended!!

One of the better art books we've checked out this year. I really liked each curator's comments on their particular section of the museum. They're all very proud of their collections and mention interesting things about it. The pictures are, of course, the very best part.
