Tony Hillerman does it again. I'm such a fan. I want to have lunch with Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee. Great characters, gradually unfolding mystery, a truly evil guy, and the best part, a powerful evocation of a place and a people. And Jim Chee finally got married!

I would rather have given this 2 1/2 stars. But I did like the story, so I went with 3. Unfortunately for this book it hit on a couple of my pet peeves... First of all, the book felt overly long. There was too much description of things that didn't matter and it impeded the progression of the story. I know that the authors job is to paint a picture, but for me, it was just too much. Second was the number of characters. Some of the characters were from the first book, so I was able to keep track of them easily. But there were probably 20-30 characters in this book. Most of them new. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, but the author went back and forth between calling them by their first OR last name! It was like having 60 characters to keep track of. It was a bit overwhelming for me. But, like I said, I did like the story.

I really enjoyed this book (and equally the movie which I saw as I was finishing the book); it was very sad because no one wants to be witness to a failing marriage and as that's what we are as readers, witnesses - or voyeurs -- seeing things that only take place behind closed doors idyllic houses in idyllic settings. Maybe that was one of Yate's many themes -- it's all an illusion --the house the lawn, the kids, the perfect couple in the suburbs. Some people can close their eyes, withdraw themselves from reality and submerge themselves in this illusion. The Wheeler's -- at least April - couldn't. And she tried to get them out. I don't believe the "suburbs" is the cause for all their problems - I think if they lived anywhere they would have the same problems. April & Frank were not a compatible couple. But leaving was a solution and for the most part it lifted their spirits and improved their outlook on life so much so that Frank turned into what he should have been all along -- a man with a purpose. The minute the idea of getting out was cast upon him, he did more than just sit around and shuffle papers but actually worked, and got noticed by the bosses. Why leave now? April had a lot more sense than Frank, she was someone who wanted to make something happen regardless of money or kids, but she was a 1950's wife -- the part where she tells Frank how wonderful he was because he was "a man" killed me. She was strong, but only strong enough as her surroundings let her be. I felt for April because she wanted more but was powerless, if Frank was unhappy he had no one to blame for himself because he could do whatever he wanted (and in some cases -- Maureen -- he did).

My favorite of the three Steven Millhauser books I've read thus far — and now I've got only eight more to go! Many of Millhauser's stories don't even have characters in the traditional sense. These fictions are more like essays, histories or journalistic reports documenting a parallel universe's architecture, art, fashion and human behavior. The section of four stories on "Impossible Architecture" reminded me of Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities." Like Borges and Kafka, Millhauser reimagines our world in absurd, fantastical ways that bring the real world into sharper focus.
I was really looking forward to reading this book; I've heard good things about it my whole life and I somehow managed to make it to age 24 and major in English without reading it. But I was extremely disappointed. I thought Jane was a very unlikeable protagonist; she was cold and hard with the man who loved her (Mr. Rochester) and disgustingly subservient to a man who would only use her for labor (St. John). It horrifies me that she even considered for a moment marrying him. I felt that most of the conflict in the novel was completely contrived, much like a modern-day chick flick. I actually put the book down on page 200, intending to stop reading it completely, but then I figured that since I had entered the Goodreads challenge, I would finish it. I will say that I did like the ending; it made me smile a little bit, but there are so many other classic novels that are so much better.

I'm not ashamed to say that I'm a fan of Bill Bryson, and although 'In a Sunburned Country' doesn't quite rate up there with 'A Walk in the Woods' it is still an enjoyable read none the less. Bryson does an excellent job as ambassador for Australia, and as always displays a ceaseless knowledge of history and trivia about his subject. During this read I laughed a little, was undeniably entertained, and came away a little more educated. Three stars well earned.
Great read! I can hardly wait for book #2 in the fall.

After two or three months, I'm finally done! It was adventurous, romantic, and thrilling but I thought Brianna was a brat and I'm not looking forward to more books with her in it!
This was a good one. I was a bit thrown at first by the shifts in time and dialect, but quickly got into the rhythm of it. A good LOL book.
