Pia Panzarella piapanzare4ac8 — When I finished this I thought what a sweet book! But really, ancient curses, mass murder, ugly family jealousy, double crosses, horrible fathers.... Still sweet, go figure. Set in feudal times, Molly is 6 years old in a large family that her drunken father cannot support and Mother cannot care for as she is ill. Anne, the oldest daughter takes care of Mother. The oldest son assists Dad. The rest of the kids are farmed out ASAP. When Molly is six, she sees a vision of a neighbor getting hurt. Dad knows this is trouble and immediately takes her away- but not before Mother reveals that Molly has inherited family magic and gives her a talisman to aid her when she struggles with the visions. Off Dad drags her on a two day walk to the castle, where she learns, with the help of Tobias to blend with other kitchen help until she is tasked with polishing the silver for the King's table. Now the plot thickens, the visions start and Molly, now older and a tad wiser but no less brave finds she alone must save the royal family from a legion of deadly curses. She is a charming hero with plucky, faithful companions. The story satisfies in the end.

Simone Ribeiro swsribeiro3919 — This is one of my favorite travel essay books; as always with Bryson, the appeal is his (grouchy, funny, informative) narrative voice and his (often ludicrous) misadventures. In Neither Here Nor There, he attempts a narrative device that doesn't quite work; he's sort of reminiscing about his youthful tramps through Europe as he travels through Europe today. This would have worked as structure for the book - which, it must be said, it doesn't actually have - if he'd been more careful about following in his teenage footsteps, and if he'd had more memories of his old travels. As it is - well, the anecdotes about the 1970s trips are funny (particularly the ones involving Stephen Katz - if you've read A Walk in the Woods, you'll know the grown-up Katz; in this book, you meet the teenaged one), but they don't really add much to the book. But that's fine; the book is plenty of fun without the structure and with the anecdotes. Bryson gives great first-person narrative travel humor, and this book is a regular re-read for me.
