Louise Dean louisedean — I'd been having depressingly bad luck with Lord Peter Wimsey books, but in this one, Dorothy L. Sayers redeems herself! Of course, the 4-star rating was helped along (she said modestly) by the fact that I guessed the ending about a page before Lord Peter did. Kind of made me feel like we were partners in solving the crime.

Luis Cora kxa10f256 — Brothers Duffy and Sumo live nice, normal, relatively quite lives. Till the day they are sent off on an adventure to Hawaii with their mysterious cousin, Come-and-go, and their aunt whom they've never met before. They soon find out things aren't as they appear to be as they are led on a perilous adventure into the heart of an erupting volcano. And questions are soon raised about where their mother really is and why they're being led into the volcano. Duffy and Sumo don't have much time to escape, find the truth, and hopefully...get out alive. OK the artwork in the book is absolutely gorgeous. Proportions on the figures can sometimes be a bit rough, but Wood does an amazing job of capturing people's expressions, letting us see the fear or the joy on their faces in an instant. The colors are standout and really sell the mood of the story, I especially love the depiction of the ocean and the lava as its flowing--the later is something that must people would have trouble trying to depict and have it look right, but Wood doesn't suffer from that all. In addition, he does an amazing job of capturing the highlights and the reflections of the lava onto the characters of the story so you can tell just how close they are to it. The story though...just doesn't seem to match up to the artwork. I had to struggle through it at times to make sense of what was going on, especially during the transitions between the scenes. It felt that some vital information was left out because they were saving it for the big second half reveal. Which might have worked if a bit more of the information was revealed earlier on (like a bit more info about the family) to not make the ending feel so...forced. It almost felt like two different books, but without something joining them together in the middle. It isn't a bad book and is worth picking up for the artwork...and perhaps a small adventure.

Giada Princiotto libellifiob9cd — Real perspectives on being parents, choosing to have kiddos, etc. Interesting to hear all sides of the decision/lifestyle. Very...informative. Great writing.

Damián Navarro dnavarromendez — (Once again, the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.) By far my favorite Dostoevsky work, with the intricate plotlines following the story arc of a group of revolutionaries, this is well worth the trek. Often a victim of editing (this edition includes the sometimes removed chapter of "At Tikhon's") and disputed translation, it is certainly a cornerstone to keep on the shelf along with the rest of your subversive literature.

Mariyam Azha anjuna — So much hype over this series, but so far it doesn't seem like anything special. Re: Marcus My first thought was, ewww dreds. Then he reminded me of one of my friends for a while, and then not so much after that. I will probably end up reading the whole series. 2009 Summer Challenge category: Read two books in a series
