Rui Manso _yntax_rror — This book is for younger readers, but that doesn't mean I can't read it and enjoy it! :P This is one of those "special kids get picked for special group/organization for special reasons" type story. I liked it - probably even really liked it...but I can't remember how harsh my rating scale is, so I have declined to rate it. I make no sense.

Carol Cc _arol_arosone_ruz — Wasn't sure how to rate this one - a rather neatly tied-up last third lets it down just by making it look all too easy. But the dragons! Temeraire's relationship with Laurence, and the beginning of their political awakening, continue the first book's strong development, while the draconic supporting cast are full of endearing quirks (some of the humans are rather more stock characters, though the Grumpy Surgeon and Manipulative Diplomat are both excellent examples of their respective types). There are also several fantastic set-pieces, particularly a night-fight near the start of the book and a sea serpent encounter in the middle - alongside the two action sequences that redeem that faulty last third.

Megan Dvorak medvorak — A story about both sides of a little girl's illness. Lia Lee started having epileptic attacks at 3mos old. Anne Fadiman examines both the Western Medicine and the Hmong Culture that that failed her. And really neither failed. But neither succeeded. I learned alot about how Western Medicine views a patient. And if that patient is a child, how it views the family. I also learned about how the Hmong have survived thru the centuries, never assimilating into the culture of any country they have lived in. They have been nomadic and have no homeland. The Hmong have chosen to live in remote mountains, far removed from the rest of the world. No country has wanted them to stay b'c of this non-assimilation. But they have used the Hmong to fight their wars. Anne Fadiman does an amazing job of showing both sides of Lia's illness. She shows great care in trying to understand the culture of both and find the reason they failed together. She enters their worlds on their terms and has great understanding on how they both tried their best to help Lia. Really interesting book.
