Grab your chair and hang on for a Good Read packed full of adventure and lessons on life. This is a true life novel written in the author’s maternal grandmother's voice. Lily was a woman of independence and spunk. She broke and raced horses, taught school, bootlegged, learned to fly a plane all while getting an education and being a wife and mother. Every disappointment, start over, good and bad times had a life lesson in it. I hope to face life's challenges with as much courage and strength! She was not a perfect women, she made mistakes, poor choices, and tried to do better. This would be a Great Book Club read!

This is a great book to expose students to folk tails from different cultures. I also really liked the way Goble words some of his ideas in this story and it might be good to expose the students to these techniques as well.

** spoiler alert ** As a dystopian novel, this book had so much potential. Everyone is forced to get a bar code tattooed on their wrist that contains all their financial, health, personal and genetic information. That has to be a pretty interesting story, right? Unfortunately, this story falls woefully flat. The plot is little more than Character A moves to Plot Point 2 and must fall in love with Character B who is really working for Villain Alpha. Character C is forced to move across country with her family and has little bearing on the actual plot, but Character A needs a best friend in this formula. Weyn probably needed three times as many pages to tell the story she was aiming to tell in a short story format (the author’s note at the end says that she originally began this as a short story). None of the important scenes get the development they need in order to bring the reader into the story. It’s almost like everything is just background noise - there is no motivation to care about anything here. Plus, the ending is very contrived - having the bar code somehow frustrates evolution so much that people without the bar codes start developing psychic powers. Just for fun, it seems. Even for a science-fiction story, that is too far-fetched. This book obviously has an agenda to push and while many authors’ beliefs seep into their stories in subtle ways, Weyn’s beliefs don’t “seep” as much as they flood the plotline, overshadowing any semblance of a story and the whole thing comes across as preachy and arrogant (doesn’t help that there’s the obligatory love triangle thrown in there just as an afterthought). This could have been a very well-crafted story of how people get so caught up in the new trends and technology of society and even follow big corporations and big government policies blindly to their downfall, but it just doesn’t work here. There’s not enough background on the characters to make the reader care about them. Frankly as a reader, I was insulted that I was expected to take this premise seriously (evidently there’s a sequel. I don’t know why).

Cameron Dokey did a slightly better job on this retelling than on some of her others that I've read. Not a keeper, but interesting.

i wanted to finish this book so bad that i actually stood in the Borders at Sea-Tac airport reading the last ten pages. i felt like a total asshole. that said, this book can be troublesome but also easy to identify with, because 15 year old Harry really can be a prick at times. i mean he's just such a TEENAGER. i can't stand teenagers. however, it's really a cornerstone book for the series. it sets up the end to the story perfectly. and the end is so touching...

Well, found out what all the hubbub was about! Although I really started out enjoying it, it started to lose me about 3/4 of the way through. When it starts getting into unrealistic things...well, what am I saying, it's a story about a vampire! Might read the other books in the series this summer, but don't feel like I'm missing out on something if I don't.

Okay, so Cormac isn't that bad. I enjoyed this read much, much more than The Road.

Really enjoyed this... a likable main character, a detailed world that doesn't overwhelm, a fun and fast paced story. I had to read this one quickly as it was a library book with an expiration date, and it turned out to be an easy task since it is such a fun story. We meet Harry Dresden as an adult, making his living as a wizard in a world that usually doesn't believe in such things. He has trouble paying the bills, a cat to feed, and no woman to keep him warm at night, but there are prospects. He is frequently misunderstood by the other so-called good guys, so there is a little bit of an underdog aspect to his character, and of course he manages to get himself into a heap of trouble which seems neverending. The poor fella just can't catch a break, and you want him to, because he is himself one of the good guys. I'll gladly stay tuned to see what trouble he gets himself into (then out of, then back into again) next. Memorabilty 7/10 ( I don't think I'll remember the plot a few months from now, but I think the wolrd of Harry Dresden will probably stick with me. )

I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book. I liked how they were introduced a bit at a time which really drove home the point that we shouldn't judge based on first impressions because we really don't know what battles people are fighting. However, there was too much swearing and immorality for me. I can do a pretty good job of skimming over this when reading books, but because I listened to this as an audio book, it was being screamed in my ear.
