Myth Conceptions, the second book in the adventures of the apprentice magician Skeeve and the demon Aahz, doesn't disappoint. The blend of comedy and fantasy makes for a light-hearted and entertaining read. Oh, the trouble these two get themselves into! From the opening line, Asprin had me laughing: "Of all the various unpleasant ways to be aroused from a sound sleep, one of the worst is the noise of a dragon and a unicorn playing tag." What's supposed to be a cushy position as Court Magician, leads to Skeeve and Aahz facing down an unstoppable and formidable invading army. The ragtag force Skeeve assembles to help in this campaign looks positively abysmal: Brockhurst, an Imp they out-smarted in their last adventure, Gus, the shy stone Gargoyle who totes around a salamander named Berfert, and Ajax the aged archer from Archiah. Add in Tanda and Aahz, and the company doesn't look much better. How can this small group hope to defeat the advancing army of the Empire? But what they lack in numbers, this crew makes up in ingenuity, guile and perseverance, as well as a lot of luck. And of course, some help from a very determined baby dragon (I just love Gleep-he's the cutest thing). This is another fun romp, filled this time with lots of action, and a few new cunning characters to add even more amusement to Asprin's diverse world. I look forward to the next mess Skeeve and Aahz find themselves in!

It is very long but if you can get into it then you're in for some fun.

Probably deserves 3 1/2 stars. Good, solid story and book to check out of the library. Intense parts of the plot early on that unfold over the course of the book. This author likes to develop and draw parallels through the different generations (grandmother, mother, daughters...).... intersting and somewhat thought provoking but by no means taxing on the brain.

I loved this book very very much. Very quiet and simple and just perfect. Made me think more about what the good things in life are.

Depressing, but so true to life

I wasn't too sure, because it's all kind of political-mystery-thriller, but the writing is great and the story really engaging and there is a fun GASP! moment. Engrossing! Don't be scared of the politics part, because though the story interweaves with the reagan/carter election, in a historical fiction and metaphoric kind of way, it does it in a way that doesn't expect you to know stuff.

I'm really enjoying this compilation of stories that have been adapted to film. The stories are organized under either genre categories (like Horror, Science-fiction, and Westerns) or more constructed groupings such as "Five All But Lost Stories" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Unadaptable." Many of the pieces themselves are good or at least entertaining, and it is interesting to ponder the screenwriter's modifications to the stories. The story on which Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window was based by Cornell Woolrich, for instance, does not feature the female lead so memorably memorialized by Grace Kelly, nor does it depict the colorful mix of neighbors and their relations with one another. Instead, it focuses pretty exclusively on suspected wife-killer Lars Thorwald. John Cheever's "The Swimmer" is especially difficult to imagine in its film form. The levels interwoven in this slightly fantastical tale of a man who decides to swim through the pools of his well-heeled neighbors in order to return to his home and the symbolism his interactions with each of them takes on is hard to imagine on screen. What this book really imparts is that in spite of the adage that the movie is never as good as the book (which itself isn't necessarily true), in fact, the movies are usually better than the short stories. Some of the stories in Adaptations are peppered with the sort of narration that can be conveyed in a more interesting and subtle manner with screen images. Other times though, as with "The Swimmer," it is suggested that it is very difficult to convey this image-heavy story on screen. Very interesting book, and I must thank my roommate and her boyfriend for it, since they gave it to me as a holdiay gift!

Loved the whole series. Very similar to Gabaldon as far as writing style.

¡Este ha sido uno de los libros más emocionales de la serie! Bajo cero sospechas, en esta nueva entrega de la serie Shopaholic descubrimos que... ¡Becky tiene una hermana! O más bien una hermanastra. Al regresar de su luna de miel, luego de 10 meses de relajacion y de compras junto a su esposo Luke, Becky Brandon -de soltera Bloomwood- se entera de que su padre tiene una hija, llamada Jess. Siendo Jess 2 años mayor que Becky, se vuelve la anhelada hermana mayor y la perfecta compañera de compras que Becky necesita. Pero lo que Becky nunca penso fue que su ahora nueva hermana odiaria las compras a muerte. Al principio Jess no me agradaba, se veia a Becky tratando de llamar su atencion hasta el punto de hacer hasta lo imposible por agradarla, y la entiendo, Becky al creerse hija unica por muchos años, claro que se alegraria de compartir momentos con su hermana, se le veia tan desesperada por lograr una gota de afecto que en un punto llegue a odiar a Jess por mostrarse tan antipatica. Mientras tanto el matrimonio Brandon comienza a venirse abajo, luego de regresar de la luna de miel, Luke vuelve a ser el tipo todo negocios, sarcastico, frio y competitivo que venimos conociendo desde el primer libro. Luke me parece un poco bipolar >.< La presion por mantener la empresa, el stress de Luke y los gastos y las mentiras de Becky parecen ser el peor obstaculo que el matrimonio enfrenta. Ahora que Becky esta casada con Luke y los problemas matrimoniales que acarrea la relacion, Becky no es la unica que se encuentra en problemas, cada error que ella comete Luke tambien lo paga. Y esta fue una de las situaciones que me agrado que Kinsella reflejara en el libro, ya no vemos a una superficial mujer loca por las compras, observamos a una Becky madura, llena de errores pero que esta dispuesta a irse a un pueblo lejano y escalar una montaña para probar que puede mejorar y que Luke -aunque se nos vuelve un poco grosero por ratos- es capaz de perdonar a Becky y amarla con todos sus defectos. Aun cuando la trama es un poco repetitiva -Becky se gasta un dineral comprando, se mete en problemas, miente y luego de milagro se salva de la situacion- algo que me gusta de la serie es el humor que la autora le pone al libro. Aunque existan muchas reseñas negativas alrededor de esta serie - aun asi - se ha vuelto una de mis series chick lit favoritas, la leeria una y otra vez. Shopaholic & Sister hasta el momento es mi libro favorito de la serie, seguido de Shopaholic Takes Manhanttan, ambos han sido los libros más emocionales de la serie, con ambos me he reido a carcajadas o con el que me he echado a llorar. Esta es una serie recomendada para aquellos que disfruten de series ligeras, llenas de humor, y por que no, a quien le encante ir de compras. :)
