I bought this book mainly because I'm a Bad Religion fan. That being said I am not a student of the teachings of evolution. The book is interesting enough even if it did loose me a few times but I can't say that it's a book I will want to read a second time either.

Eh, it is what it is. Not one of Krentz's best, but something to read when you don't want to use many brain cells.

E.M. Forster wrote the opening. So far, I am captivated. It's a day in the life of a street sweeper in India.

In this book, one of the 14 that H. Rider Haggard wrote that treats of the adventures of Allan Quatermain, our hero--through the use of the inhaled Taduki drug--views one of his previous incarnations. During that lifetime he was Shabaka, in the age when Egypt had been conquered by the Persians. This book is a direct continuation of the previous Quatermain novel, "The Ivory Child" (which itself is a continuation of "Allan and the Holy Flower"), and a reading of that previous novel is fairly essential when going into this book. Lady Ragnall returns in this one, and shares Quatermain's drug-induced vision. While not as battle intensive as other books in the series, this novel is always interesting, and does feature, amongst other things, a lion hunt, a blind wizard in a cave, a visit to Ethiopia, a fight with a crocodile, and a rousing climactic battle between the forces of the Persians and the allied Egyptian/Ethiopian armies. And for fans of Hans, Quatermain's Hottentot sidekick, there is a previous incarnation of that great character, as well. It's all fascinating and exciting stuff; never a dull moment, and all that. So seek this one out...you won't be disappointed!

** spoiler alert ** Confusing and rambling. The cover is lovely, the story is lovely, but I spent my time reading it going back because what I was reading just didn't make sense with what I'd read previously. For example, we have Mirasol's memory of the week before the faenorn, how she had no sleep and she was so tired, etc etc etc, and you get the impression that she was sitting around in her cottage doing nothing and not sleeping, and then after all that we go back and learn about every single thing that ever happened during the week before the faenorn. We hear about every single drop of water that she dropped as she wandered on and got no sleep. Why didn't we hear about the Chalice ritual thing dropping of water first, and then her memories of being tired? And of course there's the flashbacks, in the middle of important happenings, that just end up confusing you about whether or not you're actually reading about what's going on, or some random thing that happened years before. Another thing that I disliked was the constant repeating that Mirasol used to be just a small lowly woodskeeper who had the position of Chalice thrust upon her with no warning at all, and she had no training,and she didn't know anything and it was so hard for her and she had to do so much reading. We get it. Can we move on now? We don't really care. And then the dialogue, lots and lots of dialogue. By the time someone finishes talking, you've forgotten who's speaking and have to go back 16 pages to figure out who's talking and what they're talking about and why are they talking to each other anyway? And then there's another 16 pages of the other person replying to the first person, and by the time you're finished with them, you're confused all over again. 16 pages is an exaggeration. Exaggerating makes me feel better. I did like the story. It just wasn't written very well. Mirasol was an interesting character, and I loved the bees, however unrealistic their actions might be. I'm not very fond of bees, and I think I'm allergic to them, but Mirasol's bees were fascinating. I fear my review has ended up as confusing and rambling as Chalice was, but really, after reading it, my brain is whirling and how can I ever be expected to write coherently again?

I'm not sure if it counts as a "read" since this was an audio book, but I've been borrowing audio books from the library lately to get me through monotonous times. This book was short, only three CDs, and I listened to it in its entirety on a 6-hour road trip. The language is precise and telling, told through different perspectives, mostly children, and I think serves well as a family-friendly tale. I'd highly recommend it on your next road trip. The story focuses on the Japanese internment during World War II, what it meant to be displaced from home and family, what it meant to be American, or Japanese. There is beauty in the details. There is quiet strength. I've always been fascinated by this era, by the inequity of it, but it still holds true to any gorup that's been exiled in their own country.
It might help if I'd read the second book at all recently. Either way though, I keep finding plot holes, which is pretty annoying.

All bow before the Hornby.
As another reviewer put it: "This book is complete garbage, and it's great."
