Luis Guillermo ocampoanchorena — Hilarious murder investigation as Humpty Dumpty is pushed (or was he?). Literary allusions at the drop of a hat, and all round jolly good fun which is to be expected from the author who brought us the Thursday Next series.

Brian Edmonds brianedmonds — I liked the concept of the book and was quite interested to read it but was disappointed at the level it was written. Dawkins is very much looking for the atheists of the world to unite but does not offer up motivation that can be understood by the average reader. This would have ranked a lot higher in my mind if he had shelved his necessity to prove himself.

Malcolm Bacani malcolmbacani — A moving, poignant story about three women – Kavita, a mother in rural India who is forced to give her daughter up for adoption to protect her from infanticide, Somer an American doctor unable to bear a child and Asha the daughter Kavita gives up and Somer adopts. The author does a remarkable job exploring and expressing the emotions these women feel, each struggling with their losses and fears – Kavita racked with guilt and tortured by memories of leaving her crying infant in an orphanage, Somer’s suffering over her infertility and later her insecurities as an adoptive mother and Asha’s yearning to find her roots and come to terms with the fact that her parents gave her up. The book is a tribute to mothers everywhere. Besides Somer and Kavita, there are two other strong mothers in the novel – Dadima and Ba. The book is also about family. In today’s society in which we have so many kinds of families, the message of “Secret Daughter” is that “at some point the family you create is more important than the family you are born into”. Asha goes to India seeking out “one family and ended up discovering another”. The book explores social problems like the disregard for female children in India. The plot is excellent, moves smoothly and keeps the reader riveted. Whereas the female characters in the book are well drawn, the male characters in the book are all but ignored so one may complain that the book does not give all characters fair representation. Men may dismiss the book as chick-lit but when you consider the serious topics the book explores which is part of our lives today, the book is relevant for male and female readers alike. An excellent first novel which I highly recommend

Tuan Tran contact6c6b — Finshed reading this to my younger sons last night; when I revisit Laura Ingalls Wilder these days, it tends to be her older ones. As a writer, she feels slightly less confident in this book: the chapters are more instructive and the use of stories-within-the-story was something she grew out of after this book. But it's still glorious. I love the honey tree, Ma making hats, Laura's jealousy of oh-so-perfect Mary, the astonishment of seeing a town for the first time; the excitement of the dance. I can't help noticing how much better off Pa was when he lived here: cows, pork, honey, abundant and varied vegetables, family around: there's a much more prosperous feel. Not for the first time, I feel for Ma having to become a pioneer wife when it's obviously not really her thing. Laura's love for Pa is never clearer than in this book: where most farming books end with harvenst, or the coming of warm weather, she finishes as winter closes in again, because winter means having Pa at home in the evening, with his fiddle and the security he brings them. The ending where she locates the little house in the present 'This is now, it can nevedr be long ago' is moving and elegaic. My boys enjoyed it, but not as much as my husband (who has strong elements of Pa in him, both as a parent and a handyman), who loved every chapter.
