Mohamed Sherif dishoman — Peter is quick, daring, and full of mischief"and like all boys, he loves to play, though his games often end in blood. His eyes are sparkling gold, and when he graces you with his smile you are his friend for life, but his promised land is not Neverland. Fourteen-year-old Nick would have been murdered by the drug dealers preying on his family had Peter not saved him. Now the irresistibly charismatic wild boy wants Nick to follow him to a secret place of great adventure, where magic is alive and you never grow old. Even though he is wary of Peter's crazy talk of faeries and monsters, Nick agrees. After all, New York City is no longer safe for him, and what more could he possibly lose? There is always more to lose. Accompanying Peter to a gray and ravished island that was once a lush, enchanted paradise, Nick finds himself unwittingly recruited for a war that has raged for centuriesâ€"one where he must learn to fight or die among the "Devils," Peter's savage tribe of lost and stolen children. There, Peter's dark past is revealed: left to wolves as an infant, despised and hunted, Peter moves restlessly between the worlds of faerie and man. The Child Thief is a leader of bloodthirsty children, a brave friend, and a creature driven to do whatever he must to stop the "Flesh-eaters" and save the last, wild magic in this dying land.

Sebastien Delahaye ekkinox — BASIC info as a primer.

Katherine Doom erinmcalee0ee5 — This book is fascinating for many reasons, many of them personal--as an amateur Arthurian scholar and medievalist, as a novelist, a recent convert to Steinbeck fandom, and a reader and lover of words. A huge asset is the appendix of letters Steinbeck wrote during his eight year odyssey with translating Malory's Morte D'Arte for the modern reader and falling short of the goal. Of the four sections he tackled, the first two on Merlin and Arthur's marriage are faithful adaptations, but still Steinbeck's sensibility and gift for prose make them come alive with a freshness that surprised me as one so grounded in the romances. I am rather jaded at this point with modern writers who try to adapt the romances to modern fiction, staying faithful in the wrong places and straying from them in ways that prove artificial and betray the material. Somehow Steinbeck, though guided by his own sensibilities, pulls it off without violating the original author's vision. In the final two sections, Steinbeck transforms knightly adventures of a handful of pages to span a hundred, and here Steinbeck gives full reign to his vision of who are these men and what did they think and feel as they pursued their quests and met various damsels. The characters jump off the page, and his Lancelot is a fascinating mix of excellence and limitedness. It is also interesting to watch how a writer known for his realism and failed dreams revels in a world where necromancy, giants, dwarves, dragons and unicorns are very real, and how he adapts a literature of symbolism to speak to a modern audience without betraying it.

Roman Gutikov roman_gutikov — Wonderful circus read,especially if you remember the old-time circus. Sara Gruen write very well.

Roger Díaz zombie_hunter — Started out great, but got way too technical with shipping and whaling. Found it dry and boring.

Matti Vanhanen mattivanhanen — certain dialogues only

Armando Paredes _eo_oopa64 — An amazing story about how far someone has come in their faith after starting with none, and overcoming several obstacles along the way.
