Onder Arslan ondergkd7e3 — 3 out of 5 stars on Ordinary People, Extraordinary Works In 1995, I received ESCAPE FROM THE CARNIVAL OF HORRORS, a children’s title that was part of the GIVE YOURSELF GOOSEBUMPS series. It was the first time I’d ever seen a Choose Your Own Adventure book and I fell in love with it. The idea of choosing your own fate and then being able to “redo” the story once it was all over caught my attention and I remember starting the novel over and over again. Fast-forwarding over a decade, when BookRooster.Com offered me a complimentary copy of CHARLOTTE PROWLING FOR ENCHANTMENT, I jumped at the chance to read an adult version of a choose your own adventure. Charlotte goes on a cruise for the first time and is hoping for some fun, which she gets, but she also finds herself in a new world, one that her Gram used to talk about. Charlotte’s world is no longer “normal,” but is instead filled with mythical creatures and magic. In the first chapter, two men are introduced and the reader’s first choice is to decide who to go with. Although it seems the point of this novel was just the adventure aspect, I couldn’t help but wish there was more background story. Charlotte was a character I could somewhat relate to – a young woman just trying to find her way, both in her own world and the newly found one of werewolves and vampires and faeries. Secondary characters are, in a word, sexy in his (or her) own way. The plethora of creatures is almost astounding and I found myself wanting to know more about each of the species (if that is the correct word). What I found most interesting is that, despite the supernatural part of the novel, the scenarios range from completely realistic to absolutely fantastical and each one is satisfying in its own way. Readers should be aware that not every path taken will be a happily ever after but the good part is that readers can start over and find a different ending. CHARLOTTE PROWLING FOR ENCHANTMENT is definitely a fun read. As it is part of a series from author, Mima, I look forward to checking out the other two; it seems one is scifi-based and the other is a western.

Maarten Sterk _aarten_terk — Great read, unfortunately, there will not be a second novel. Eric Flint said that he believed he had defeated all concievable enemies in this novel. I hope he changes his mind. The characters were very compelling and likeable. Except the enemies, of course.

Parker Parket wjydzkd — I'm glad Marianne chose this book because there is a lot to discuss. I hope that I am not just discussing it with myself since many of our book club either haven't finished it or didn't like it much. I have heard The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is similar to To Kill a Mockingbird. The books are only alike in that they were both written by a fairly young woman in the Southern Gothic style and take place in the south. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter left me hopeless, while To Kill a Mockingbird left me hopeful. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter left me with a fatalistic hopeless feeling even in the most positive character, Mick. She had so much potential musically, but from the very beginning of the story when she failed to make a homemade violin, I felt heartbroken for her. She craved music and was so moved by it, but she knew that her position in life would never allow her the opportunity to study it. The other four main characters were self-destructive and written grotesquely. All were lonely independent characters only concerned with themselves. While they were aware of each others existence, they were mostly unaware of the parts they played in each others lives. A biography of Carson McCullers said the book is written like a fugue in 3 parts. McCullers was sent to study piano at Julliard as a teen, but lost the money for her tuition before she got there so she decided to become a writer.
