Jules Lenton the_rifster — In this Dystopian Fantasy, The Pledge, Kimberly Derting has created a world of magic wrapped in a blanket of dissension among all classes. She brings with it unique characters that strive to be honorable and strong in their beliefs while protecting what they deem sacred, their families, be it their own speaking class or others that have joined in their beliefs. It is a gripping ride from the first page to the last, a read not to be missed.

Mallika Singh mallikamusic21a4 — I remember liking this one, and wanting to read it only after I read Prep b/c it's the same author. It's as if the main character in this book is a twenty-something with same angst as the protagonist in Prep (go figure) But I don't remember how it ends...so it gets three stars

Bashar Ramadan _ashar_amadan — Well, this was a rather dark comedy! Because it's Montgomery, you almost don't notice how dark it is. There's depression, alcoholism, terminal illness... Her protagonist Valancy begins the story as a mousy spinster and then makes a pendulum swing to full on Joan Crawford. (She literally chops up a rose bush!) She rebels against her prim and proper family, recklessly and indiscriminately. I preferred the sweet, shy Valancy but I understand that this is a wish-fulfillment narrative. And I appreciate Montgomery's desire to defend her heroine. In many ways, I could relate to Valancy: her sadness, her alienation, her escape into fantasy. I could even relate to her anger. I just wish she'd resolved it differently. I would like to have seen Valancy find some balance for herself. (The balance that exists between Anne and Marilla.) But I think Montgomery was too depressed and too angry at this point in her life to compose that sort of narrative. Oddly enough, I was reminded of Agnes Grey. But whereas Agnes' story argues too much for propriety, Valancy's argues too much against it. I kinda want to get these two sad, stubborn hermits in a room and say, "Stop all this bickering! Can't you see that you belong together?" But they'd probably just turn to me with sitcom incredulousness and simultaneously shout, "WHAT?" ..

Steve Hobson hobotronic2037 — This bugs me becaue I like specific poems by Szirtes across the whole spectrum of his published works: I can't be bound by just this edition. Where is 'the burning of the books' in good reads. Well, here goes: this poet has a unique turn of phrase, and more than anyone i've read, he has the ability to cross refer to famous/iconic pictures/poets/photographers/writers/etc without sounding pompous and like he's too big for his britches so to speak. Take his prologue to burning of the books. He says: Through the wainscoted corridors of the rathaus And the Groszbeggars stirred and shook a leg And the Dixwounded rattled their small change of limbs How cool is that? And then, I find out both Dix and Gosz were these marvelous artists in the 1950s (check them out) I'm personally going to rattle my small change of grey matter and read some more Szirtes

Rob Waller viscom7030 — A fabulous book with a "Little Shop of Horrors" leaning. But, don't worry parents, it all works out in the end for a positive outcome. The highest praise our family gives a book is that we would want to have it in our personal library. And, this is one of those books.
