** spoiler alert ** I am both loving and hating this series all at the same time. Loving it because I adore Jace's personality, wit, and sarcasm; Magnus's over the top personality and dialoge; and Clary's determination and loyalty to those around her. Hating it because Simon is the most annoying character I can think of at the moment (until his last scene with Clary that is - thank god one of them realized that reason was certainly reason enough to end things between them), Simon and her's ridiculous relationship - you don't stay with someone when you know you don't love them like that, duh! Finally all the secrets! I swear with every chapter most questions are raised than answers given! Yes that is a sign of good writting and will keep my reading but it doens't mean it annoys me any less! I do still absolutely love the character of Valentine! He's is still completely hatable, although his complete 'evilness' does make him pretty predictable. I think everyone (except for Imogen who was just deluding herself) knew he would never give up the Mortal instraments for Jace. It was awesome to get to see ito Valentines mind a bit more too. The fact that he doesn't think he is evil but is right is pretty intresting and throws a new spin into his decision making process. The fact that he sees himself as a "patriot" and considers himself right just made him 10 times more dangerous than anyone thought he was. Oh and the last scene with Clary and Jace made me want to throw the book across the room! Again I wish their characters were older in this series!! Besides I am really starting to think they aren't really siblings in a way. Maybe they are in a literal sense, but I don't see it as mattering much in the end. I just have a feeling there are outside forces (as a result of V.'s experiments on them) that will allow them to be together. Like they are actually the reincarnations of the angel Raziel or something and split his soul or something crazy like that that will explain why they are like magnets with one another. Oh well, we'll see. I don't think I will be dissapointed by this series, and will most likely read it again...but who knows, I haven't gotten to the end of City of Glass yet! ********* September 2009 - I am now listening to the audiobook for this novel as I have a hellacious commute to and from work. I am still really enjoying the plot but never did I realize while reading the actual book just how many similies, metaphors, and adjectives Clary uses. Every single monster, place, and action are described to a T and a lot of the time I feel like she must have been writing with a thesaurus in her lap. I don't know how I read this the first time without noticing but its driving me a bit crazy this time around since I have to listen to it and not just skim ahead.

I am so in love! I never thought I can love a series so much as I do this one. Sophie Jordan has an amazing imagination! Just like with Firelight, I read Vanish in FOUR HOURS! It's so fast paced and an easy read, that I quickly got lost inside. I loved every minute of it! I want to share so much about Vanish, but I feel I would ruin it for those who have not read Firelight, the first in the series. I will try my best not to ruin it for anyone. Vanish begins right where Firelight left off. They find themselves in a bit of trouble yet again and don't know how to get out of the mess their in. With Jacinda's sister Tamra freaking out, Cassian trying to control his anger, and Jacinda worried about Will, they were seriously losing grip. They decide to try and fight their way, but Tamra does something that surprises them all. Including me! I was at the edge of my seat with every word. For Jacinda, forgetting Will was a lot harder than she thought. She tried really hard to fall back into her old life, but that becomes even harder for her when Will takes the risk of coming to find her. Not knowing what to do, who to trust or turn to, she decides to follow her heart and do what she feels is right. With the help of Tamra, they set out on a whole new journey and things quickly get out of control...AGAIN. Will and Jacinda's relationship is just beautiful in every way. They are my Edward and Bella. I love everything about them! Sophie Jordan did a fantastic job with creating these two. Event after event, it was so hard to take a breather and put Vanish down. I want to keep going on and on about Vanish and how much I love this series, but it breaks my heart to think that I now have to wait even longer for the next in the series. Vanish is an incredible sequel to Firelight. I am always so worried that a sequel will not compare to the first, or that the characters personalities would change somehow, but in Vanish everything remains the same and it's a lot more suspenseful. The suspense was killing me. I needed to know what would happen to Will and Jacinda. I feel like I am not making sense and jumping from one thing to the next lol that's how in love I am with this series. I want to cover everything and giveaway spoilers. This is a series I think should be on every one's To Be Read list, if you haven't read it already. It's amazing, it's romantic, suspenseful and fast paced. A DEFINITE GOOD CHOICE FOR READING! I am sure you guessed... 5 out of 5 Stars!!!

In the Twilight of Atheism, Alister McGrath gives readers a historical overview of atheism that includes its strengths and its flaws. His analysis is both insightful and honest without disrespect to the many great minds that believe in a godless universe. McGrath, as a Reformation scholar, even suggests, by drawing together a number of scholarly studies on the origins and development of Protestantism, that there is a significant link between the Reformation and the emergence of atheism. He reminds atheists, who seem to forget, that “The belief that there is no God is just as much a matter of faith as the belief there is a God. If ‘faith’ is defined as ‘belief lying beyond proof,’ both Christianity and atheism are faiths. While this suggestion may seem astonishing to some atheists, it is not only philosophically correct but also illuminating in shedding light on the changed fortunes of atheism in recent years.” For those who think one cannot be a legitimate scientist and still have a belief in God, McGrath cites a major survey of the religious beliefs of scientists carried out at the beginning and end of the 20th Century. The original survey taken in 1916 showed that 40 percent of scientists had some form of personal religious beliefs while 40 percent had none and 20 percent were agnostic. In 1996 the survey was repeated and the amazing results were exactly the same. One noted scientist, Albert Einstein, denied being an atheist. Walter Isaacson in his biography of Albert Einstein writes this about the great scientist beliefs, “Throughout his life, he (Einstein) was consistent in deflecting the charge that he was an atheist. ‘There are people who say there is no God,’ he told a friend. ‘But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views.’” Isaacson also writes of an interview Einstein gave to George Sylvester Viereck shortly after his fiftieth birthday. Viereck asked Einstein if he believed in God and Einstein said, “I’m not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written these books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.” The reality is that there are no definitive answers on either side of the debate, so it comes down to a person making a choice as to what they believe. My problem is with the name calling that has recently been evident in the atheist camp. This new tactic takes the position that if you can’t prove something empirically then you need to verbally bludgeon the opposition by name calling such as: simple-minded, stupid, imbecilic, and other deprecatory rhetoric. This has become one of Richard Dawkins weapons against theistic belief. George Orwell in his novel Down and Out in Paris and London describes the character of Bozo in this way, ‘He was an embittered atheist (the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him). This seems to describe Dawkins’s recent diatribes against religion McGrath, at the end of the book, takes a more reasonable stand. He says this about the attitude believers need to have, “Atheism stands in permanent judgment over arrogant, complacent , and superficial Christian churches and leaders. It needs to be heard. In the closing pages of this work, its concerns will be taken seriously and to heart.” The debate, I’m sure, will continue with no definitive answers ever achieved, so perhaps it is more civil to have each side simply respect the others beliefs and let the condescending name calling finally end.
