Dennis Song siy3536624e506 — Oh dear, what to say about this book? I will start with one minor and one major quibble that I had with it. 1. American authors who want to set their books in England, including historical England really ought to get British editors to read their works before publication. There were quite a few Americanisms that slipped in and could have easily been resolved. Otherwise this book might have been set in New England at the same time period with much the same effect. I was surprised no one in the book mentioned the fact that there were no wolves in England by the 1900s. 2. The ending was terribly unsatisfying. The story built up to the 'Mysterious Howling' and the question of who set the Children up in the climactic scene, but do we find out? No! There is no resolution at all. It feels like there are five or six chapters missing. If the author didn't want to answer the mystery in book 1, then why name it in the title? Very frustrating. That aside, I gave this book four stars because of Miss Penelope Lumley. I absolutely adored her. I could read twenty books in this series just for Penelope. Her mix of common sense and compassion, pluck and caution was so well balanced that I could relate to her immediately. She draws on the best of literary governesses without feeling like a pastiche. Her love for pony stories and poetry gave her an underlying sweetness that seemed in place with her being 15 years old. I truly enjoyed this book thanks to Penelope.

Laurence Delcluze lola30102015d1 — "Given my heritage and the ordeal of my childhood, I sometimes wonder why I myself am not insane. Maybe I am." "From time to time, I do consider that I might be mad. Like any self-respecting lunatic, however, I am always quick to dismiss any doubts about my sanity." "I am twenty years old. To a world-wise adult, I am little more than a child. To any child, however, I am old enough to be distrusted, to be excluded forever from the magical community of the short and beardless."

Zamirt Romero _amiro — Interesting look at how the management consulting industry grew with good case studies. Clearly biased against consultants with much of the blame directed towards them for falters
