The good: There are some good questions asked, and a few good illustrations for side issues. The bad: The book is ostensibly a theodicy, but it simply says, "sure bad things happen, but it is ok because everyone goes to heaven." Recommended further reading: Job

John von Neumann is one of the most incredible people of the 20th century (much more important, and arguably intelligent than the popular Einstein IMHO). This book covers game theory and how it relates to his life.

Have just lost the *second* review of this book, and this one was finished and just getting tweaked, so is most frustrating. Briefly, I had gone on at length about the major problem I had with this book, which was an anachronistic presentation of the way one of the three main characters reacted to slavery. The kingdom of the title is Farsala (lightly fictionalised and fantasized ancient Persia), and it's a pretty rotten one, unless you're a deghan (noble). Farsala is about to be attacked by the Hrum, who are pretty much the Romans. There are detailed descriptions of how the Hrum treat their own people and their (many) former enemies, and everything the character is told about the Hrum by the Hrum is verified by disinterested reports. It is infinitely fairer than Farsala, and even their slaves have rights and protections, unlike the so-called free people of Farsala. Despite this, the fact that the Hrum do have slaves becomes the sole reason for the character to make a massive about-face turn - an extremely important one for the next books in the series. This seriously weakened the book for me, because I loved the political discussions and ruminations, and wanted the character's thinking to be consistent with the world depicted. Instead, slavery became the absolute deal-breaker it would be for a modern reader. That out of my system, I liked Kavi far more than the other two protagonists, and found him much more interesting as a character. The fact that friends have said the same and like the rest of the series even more than this gives me hope. Oh, and these are fellow Megan Whalen Turner fans, though Kavi is no Gen. Then again, NOBODY except Gen is Gen.
Upon further review and unabashed comments from fellow goodreaders, i have ammended my rating.

Best book I've read in a long time. I love the writing style, the universe, and the characters--and they only continually get better later on in the series! This is a book I shared with friends and co-workers alike, and even in University this is a book to be cherished! I went to far as to buy Two copies each of Graceling and Fire, and sent them to friends staying in Korea and Japan, just so I could spread the love, and my passion for great stories.

This is an excellent book on investing in stocks that takes the focus off of fundamental pricing and places it on the current momentum of the stock. Great read so far.

This was my favorite book as a kid! The rainy night on the ferry where Johnny goes outside to throw the tiny skull from the dollhouse overboard still scares me. Something about the geographical scope of this book also made me love it. Almost every New England state except Rhode Island gets at least a mention, if not a whole scene, and the bulk of the book is set in Vinalhaven off the coast of Maine. This is quite possibly Bellairs' best book. If you can, get an old copy with the cover art by Edward Gorey. Why they put new and crappy art on there is beyond me. Surely it cost something to hire someone to make that new artwork?
