This book was a little bias in their ratings of Presidents, but overall still interesting to see how they were rated by other people. I would still recommend this book to anyone studying the U.S. Presidency because it offers a different look at some of our past Presidents.

There just aren't enough superlatives to describe this book, and the series that follows it. Ms. Dunnett is a master of description -- her narrative never (to me) feels like it's plodding, or feels like mere "filler." She describes action with such clarity and immediacy that sometimes you sit on the edge of your seat, living the action with the people, not even realizing that you're reading rather than living it. At some points, the events are so hilariously funny that you could laugh out loud, and at other points so tragic that it could bring you to tears. Everything is utterly real. Each of her characters (and they are many) is a complete individual; there are no cookie-cutter characters in her books. They are so real that you become interested in every one of them, whether or not you like them, because they stand vividly alive before you. But the best of all is Francis Crawford, the main character. He is, of course, impossible. But he is so talented and bright and scintillating and well-read and educated and poetic and sarcastic and -- and -- well. There may never be a real person like him, but you deeply wish that he existed. This book is the first of the six books that comprise the "Lymond Chronicles." It takes place in 16th century Scotland, though the subsequent books take you to France, Constantinople, Russia, and England. But this book can stand on its own, and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys historical fiction. The final chess game alone will be enough to have you tearing your hair out with the suspense.

I was pretty discouraged at the prospect of peace in the Middle East before I read Friedman's book. “From Beirut to Jerusalem” was published in April 1989; I finished it last Sunday (June 07, 2009) went down to have breakfast, turned on the television show THIS WEEK with George Stephanopoulos and the discussion was on the occupied territories in Israel. As I ate my breakfast the issues being discussed WERE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEY WERE IN 1989! Needless to say now I am even more discouraged than I was before for the peace process.

Really ... unique book, no doubt. Kinda fascinating, too. And it made me think about sound much more than ever before. But I LOVED Smilla's Sense of Snow - that's why I bought The Quiet Girl - but this one didn't meet my expectations. In half of the book I couldn't believe I'm just in a half. And with the last sentece I literally felt relieved that it's over. It might be just too complicated for me. As I said - it was really, really unique. I've never read any book like this before. But it wasn't my cup of tea.

I agree w/ the first reviewer. The author didn't seem to know what to do with such a colorful character. I mean, her best friend was a male puppet!

Having read 'Journey to the Stone Country' in an Australian Literature course last year, I was interested to see how this one went. I did not see it as a "love song" but the rather bleak, slightly ironical fantasy of a middle-aged man. I would have liked more depth and humour in all of the main characters, although there was potential for kindness in some. The tentative treatment of others made me wonder whether their cruelty was meant to be seen as such. Promising settings for both felt dull and under-utilised. The rather cloying intimacies in both made me squirm, as did warm and fuzzy repetitions of "a drink of tea" in 'Journey to the Stone Country' and "sweet pastries" in 'Lovesong'. While prepared to get through novels such as these, I want more than domestic homily and characterisation. Australian literature seems a little bogged down with sentimental family sagas, fictionalised historical tragedies, and rather insipid soul searching. Try 'Carpentaria' by Alexis Wright and 'The Hunter' by Julia Leigh. And anything by Christos Tsiolkas. All that said, there are an awful lot of Australian novels yet to read, especially more recent ones.

I started reading Scotus for a class at church. I was deeply intrigued by his philosophy and theology, which is an attempt to give the Franciscan charism and world-view an intellectual framework. His discussions of will, creation, and ethics are worth reading and considering, especially for those looking for an alternative to Thomism.

This was a great read and put into words some of the things that I have felt about the modern feminist movement for a long time. There are points and facts here and there that I found very interesting and although some sections aren't covered enough for my liking (this book could have been twice as thick and still not covered it all), the overall strength of the argument still comes through. Certainly a quick read, but interesting and thought provoking either way, which is basically the point of the whole thing.

neat history. The stuff about foot-binding was fascinating. The characters weren't always ones I identified with.
