"The Chessmen of Mars," Edgar Rice Burroughs' 5th John Carter novel out of 11, first appeared in serial form in the magazine "Argosy All Story Weekly" from February to April 1922. It is easily the best of the Carter lot to this point; the most detailed, the most imaginative, and the best written. Carter himself only appears at the beginning and end of the tale. Instead, our action heroes are his daughter, Tara, who gets lost in a rare Barsoomian storm while joyriding in her flier and blown halfway across the surface of the planet, and the Gatholian jed Gahan, who goes in search of her. In the first half of this novel, Tara and Gahan wind up in the clutches of the kaldanes--bodiless brains who live in a symbiotic relationship with their headless "rykors." One of these brains, Ghek, befriends the couple and tags along with them for the remainder of their odyssey. Ghek is a wonderful character, touching and fascinating and amusing all at once. In one passage, Ghek gives us some very interesting philosophy regarding the relationship between mind and body. In the second half of the book, the trio is captured by the hordes of Manator, and Gahan winds up fighting for Tara in a game of Martian chess, or jetan, a game in which real men are used in lieu of pieces and fight to the death for possession of squares. The jetan sequence is extremely exciting and detailed, and a knowledge of chess is not necessary for full enjoyment. One need not be a chess buff to appreciate the detailed moves that Burroughs gives us. "Chessmen" is, as I mentioned, very well written for a Burroughs novel; even, dare I say it, poetically written in spots. The action is relentless, the standard of imagination very high, and the denouement extremely satisfying. It is a near masterpiece. Why only "near"? Well, as is usual with these books, there are some problems.... As in the previous Carter novels, these problems take the form of inconsistencies and implausibilities. At the book's beginning, Burroughs, who has just been told this tale by Carter himself, writes that "if there be inconsistencies and errors, let the blame fall not upon John Carter, but rather upon my faulty memory, where it belongs." He is excusing himself in advance for any mistakes that he might make, and well he should, because there are many such in this book. I, however, cannot excuse an author for laziness and sloppy writing. Saying "excuse me" doesn't make for good writing. Just what am I referring to here? Let's see.... Tara, in several spots in the book, refers to Tardos Mors as her grandfather, when in actuality he is her great-grandfather. The Martian word "sofad" is said to be a foot; but in the previous book, "Thuvia, Maid of Mars," an "ad" was said to be a foot. Tara, in one scene, smites Ghek on the back of the head. Gahan is watching this fight from a distance, and sees her hit Ghek in the face! In the game of jetan, the thoat pieces are said to wear three feathers; but in the Rules for Jetan at the book's end, they are said to wear two. This book is based on events told to John Carter, conceivably by Tara, Gahan and/or Ghek, and yet scenes are described in which none of those characters appear; thus, they could have had no knowledge of these events described. This, I feel, is a basic problem with the book's structure. Besides these inconsistencies, there are some things that are a bit hard to swallow. For instance, that Gahan could fall 3,000 feet from a flier in the middle of a cyclone and, freakishly, survive. It's also hard to believe that Tara does not recognize Gahan when he comes to her rescue, and fails to remember where they have met, until the very end of the book. In addition, I feel that the character of Ghek is underutilized in the book's second half. It might have been nice to see the old boy loosening up a bit, as he got more in touch with his emotions, Spockstyle. Anyway, all quibbles aside, "Chessmen" is a wonderful piece of fantasy, one that had me tearing through the pages as quickly as I possibly could. It is an exceptionally fine entry in the John Carter series.

As a schnool girl in China, Sun Shuyun grew up hearing heroic tales of Mao's Long March. Now, as an adult, she set out to find survivors of that epic event. This book is the tale of those survivors.Sun Shuyun was astonished to learn that perhaps the true history of the Long March was not as it had been portrayed. This made for a quick, interesting read. I don't know that it held many surprises for me, but then, I can be quite cynical and jaded when it comes to history or politics. Not to mention that I had not grown up in Mao's China, and so had no illusions (as far as this aspect of Chinese history) to be dispelled. The way the book is written feels intimate, as if the author were chatting with friends and adding her own thoughts. I'd recommend this for anyone interested in Chinese or Asian history.

Set in London in 1792, Burning Bright, is the story of a Dorsetshire family who arrives in the great city with the hope of a better life, and to turn away from the tragedy they left behind. But for the children, Jem and Maisie, London proves to be a place where they must grow up quickly and be wary of strangers. They do find a friend in neighbor (and real-life personage), William Blake, who finds himself persecuted for printing his political opinions. I’ve read 6 books by Tracy Chevalier, and this is the only one that fell short. I gather she really wanted to write about William Blake, but instead made him an incidental character. Her main characters, didn’t have enough of a story going to really captivate the reader, and that’s too bad, because Chevalier’s background of Georgian London was descriptive and exciting. 2 1/2 stars.

Firstreads win (yea!) on 2/28/11. Azalea and her 11 younger sisters are growing up in an impoverished castle which is in mourning for a year after the death of the Queen, their mother. The King, their father, is grieving and withdraws from the young girls. Forbidden to go outside the castle, to wear bright colors or to dance, they are bored and begin to rebel. Remembering legends of magic, they begin to search the castle for secret passages. They find that silver will open a passageway from their bedroom. Following it, they find a beautiful pavilion with dancing people….and they meet The Keeper. The Keeper lures the girls with dances and tempting delicacies to come through the secret passage each night. As he grows stronger, he tells Azalea the price she must pay – to find and break the silver item holding him captured. However, when he is free, he has sworn a blood oath to kill the Captain General, who is currently the King. In Entwined, Heather Dixon combines fantasy and magic, dances, romance, suspense, and family relationships into an intriguing, magical fairytale.

I thought this was a great book. Hale has some great plot twists and she also has good strong female characters. Plus, the friendships are good; they are real and believable.

What a wonderful story, I love it!!! Very touching story about Maasai people showing their support to the people in America after September 11 attacks. An American diplomat accepts the gift of 14 cows for the people who grieve in his country. This is the sign of friendship, knowledge that we are not alone and we have a support from legendary warriors who live in the small village in western Kenya.

Pretty good, I couldn't confidently guess the ending which is always a plus for chicklit. I'm not sure how I felt about most characters, didn't really like either Nieve or Darcey particularly a lot, but still the book was a good read that helped passed the time. Thanks Elaine!

This book was given to me as a gift years ago (in 2000 maybe?) and I'd read the first few chapters without really getting into it. Recently, though, I picked it up and couldn't put it down. Morton is one of the best travel writers of the 20th century, able to nimbly weave together anecdotes with carefully researched history into one compelling travel narrative. It's as though the smartest person you know spent several years studying history, archaeology, art, religion, gastronomy, and geography and then took you on a private guided tour of Italy.
