Kelvin Rodriguez klkmani4279ea — Nothing makes you feel quite so insignificant, but a fleeting spec of dirt upon the vast plane of time, as a wonderfully gripping survey of ancient Egyptian History, 3000 through 30 BC. Indeed, the span of the entire history of the United States fits into one succinct chapter of Wilkinson's narrative. If you think that sounds negative, don't. This book gave me that complete "high" from the sheer magnitude of history I haven't felt since nerdy high school days. The inevitability that the closer you look at history (no matter how ancient), the more you see yourself (or really, ourselves) is not new, but again - it's been a while since an author has brought that feeling out in me so effectively. Equally as fascinating is how pioneering and original ancient Egyptian art, religion and culture was, and remains to this day. As the author points out, the Western world's obsession with "Ancient Egypt as a concept and an ideal" has endured, influencing everyone who comes into contact with it "from Alexander the Great to Agatha Christie," and influencing design ranging from "Hadrian's villa .. to art deco jewelry .. to the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas." What I found most remarkable about this book is how "readable" it was. Wilkinson uses a modern, fun voice, often drawing present-day (or at least more modern-day) parallels to bring the ancient past into sharper focus. As a result, 3000 years of ancient monarchs and their subjects become familiar and comfortable. In short, this is truly a book for a "layperson," and I'm so glad it is.

Renee Chen chenyingxing — Fascinating and Darkly Brilliant Collection from a Master Story Teller Thersa Matsuura’s: ‘A Robe of Feathers – And Other Stories’ is undoubtedly the most insightful, thought provoking and realistically frightening books I have ever read. When the fusion of Japanese folklore, superstitions and supernatural phenomena combine, I was immediately drawn into each of the seventeen superbly crafted stories. Each story features the Youkai (bewitching apparition) and is brought to life by the author. ‘A Robe of Feathers’ has indeed a long lasting affect which will stay with you long after the book is read. An intelligent, outstanding achievement that I recommend as a must read for all.
