Pete Barker imagetaker358c — I was interested in A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Dugard for two reasons. First, I read and was gripped by Emma Donoghue's Room and it seemed as though I should read the very similar but true events as told by Dugard, since she had actually undergone that ordeal. But shoulds tend not to register well with me. Plus I felt almost too voyeuristic reading someone's recount of such a horrific trauma. Until #2 came along. The second reason-and the decisive one-was I read a terrific review of the book on GR that made me say yes, I would read this. (Oh, and there was actually a third & equally decisive event, but only in the light of the first two: After thinking about the book, then reading the review & deciding to read the book, it should up for $1 at a library sale). If you are unaware of the case, Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped at a school bus stop at the age of 11 and held prison for 18 years-until just a couple of years ago by a man and his wife. The man was supposed to be in jail-for previous sexual abuse of a child and attempted abduction. Parole officers visited the house and never discovered the tents in the backyard where Jaycee and later the 2 children she bore her abuser were kept. Jaycee Dugard writes with a wrenching honesty and the voice of a person still in some ways the child she was when she was kidnapped but simultaneously a woman who has learned things too young she should never have had to learn at all, raised two children and somehow kept alive a heart capable of love and hope and wonder. It doesn't take very long to read this book but the impact remains. I strongly recommend this testament of courage to everyone.

Maxx Finkle _0823 — I have always been fond of the Kara Gillian series; mainly because I like its take on demon summoning, and how demons are not evil, but are still beings you need to be very, very careful around. They're honorable, in fact honor means just about everything to them, but this doesn't mean that they're good either--they're just different. Plus with supernatural powers. The writing is--hm. It flows well and it the author paces the book well--it's a comfortable read that balances nicely between action and resting. It's just not outstanding, but it is a joy to read (is that even understandable? Eh heh). Admittedly, the main plot in the book holds less interest to me than Kara and the relationships she has to the people around her, as well as her connection to the demon world and everything that entails. That's probably the main reason why it felt a little slow to me--interesting, but not enough that it has me racing through the pages. I can't help but really like Rhyzkahl. It's more of a personal preference thing than anything else--and, all right, so Kara probably shouldn't be in a... (sorta) relationship with someone who scares the pants off her a good portion of the time, but it's a book and I like it so... heh. To her credit, she's scared but she still stands up to him, which helps. You do get an underlying sense that Rhyzkahl has some sort of motivation for the relationship he has with Kara (and she knows this as well), but I still can't help but like him very much, which contrasts with my neutral feelings about Ryan. Granted, I don't really see how a relationship between Kara and a demon lord would work (two different dimensions and so on), but a part of me can't help but hope anyway. Go figure. In any case, the main storyline of the book deals with a band and a series of murders that surround (and affect) it, caused by what Kara calls a golem, though apparently it isn't one, exactly, but that is a close enough word for it. As I said before, the plot seemed rather lackluster to me this time around (average all over, really) though it did pick up towards the end. I really am interested in the back story involving both Zack and Ryan and I hope that Kara finds out more about that in the next book; we find out one crucial piece of information (on the last page, of course), but it doesn't really tell us much of anything in the end. It is a good book, but rather average overall. I preferred the previous books in comparison. This one just felt too... filler-y for me. We don't get a lot of answers, though we get a ton of new questions. One crumb of (admittedly important) information at the end doesn't make up for the rest of the book.

Lucy Catalina luckita17 — This was just what I was looking for...a well written novel that held my interest for a quick read. My first by author James Patterson - but won't be the last when desiring something of a mystery / crime novel. Can see why he has sold alot of books.....

Jonathan Kurten jonathankurten — Great book to get started with home brewing, especially if you want to go a little DIY with your equipment. It's detailed, but accessible, descriptions of some of the science of brewing are very helpful.
