Frank James frankjamesii — This was an excellent book, both well-written and very informative. Although it's a scholarly book, I think it is quite accessible to the lay-person (it helps that the endnotes are at the back, which makes the reading experience smoother -- this would annoy me if I were reading it for scholarly purposes, though); my public library has a copy, which indicates the press is also marketing it widely. I didn't have any trouble, and I'm no expert on the Middle Ages. The book deals with several aspects of spices and the Middle Ages: Why and how were they used in foods and medicines? What did people know about their origins (both real and imagined)? What was it about spices that helped to prompt the great voyages of discovery? I think Freedman gives satisfactory and very interesting answers to all these questions, and I certainly learned a lot. I also learned about a number of spices I had never heard of before, which is always fun. Freeman makes enviably good use of primary texts, including cookbooks, account ledgers, and early maps, and I particularly enjoyed the little sidebars with extended quotations from some of the cookbooks. I don't think I'll be trying too many of the recipes, though. In addition to all this, Out of the East answered my long-time question about spices: why is cardamom used in Swedish baking and Indian cooking, but nowhere in between? The answer has to do with the fact that Medieval European cooking was much closer to today's Indian or Middle Eastern cooking than today's European food, and would have included many dishes with sauces heavy with a wide variety of spices. This type of cooking began to fall out of favor in Europe around the time of the Renaissance, with the rise of traditional French cooking, and spices were mostly relegated to desserts or holiday foods.

Marta Bonhora _onhora — I listened to this one. I think I might have gotten into this one more if I had read it rather than listened. The main character's over the top theater personaility was really annoying when you had to hear it outloud. Well, at least at first. I did eventually get into the story and then over it, but then Sayde's attitude started to annoy me too. But overall it was a good book, although not Lockhart's best.

Ashley Geraghty _geraghty — I wanna be a Prince of Amber! (Suddenly have unrelated Queen song flashes!) The way I fell in love with Zelazny, especially in the ballsy way he wrote the thing, 'let's just see what happens, shall we?' Effortless. Stylish. The kind of poetic fantasy that mooshes every world religion and kitchen appliance together and *works!* --What DC and Marvel super Us wish they could achieve!

Michael S buckymsr — Melusine Series: Book #4 I found this to be a good ending to this series. I love good characters and ones that aren't always perfect and good. This series throughout it's four book gave me plenty of that. Felix is a brat and so damaged and the writer makes no bones about it. AndMildmay is always looking for love and acceptance and lacking in confidence and self-worth. They are a mess. But in this book by the end I saw that they were learning and growing, and perhaps even getting better.They did not remain stagnant or change the basics of who they were even while evolving. By the end of the book I felt that...yes...maybe I just might finally be happy. They are still not perfect and they still are damaged goods..but in the end they have each other and are trying to be better, and perhaps that is all they need to do.The book also left enough room and hints that more stories in this world might be coming, there is still much to tell.

Abdo Ezat abdoezat — Garcia Marquez has an uncanny ability to lift the reader up out of our chairs and plop us down smack in the middle of a hot and fragrant South American town square. This story is vibrant, funny, and thoughtful all at once. Even though you know what's coming (it is in the title, after all), you still find yourself wrapped up in the events of the book, anxious to see what happens. His prose literally bursts with flavor, smell, taste and heart...and this book is no exception. I heartily recommend it.
