This is one of my new favorite books. I absolutely loved the detail and history put into it. It brought back a twinge of memories from when I read "The Historian". Although it was easier to separate fact from fiction in this book, a lot more fantasy. More mature than I would want my pre-teen to read, but an older teenager would be okay. I can't wait for the next book....I assume there will be a next one; she can't leave people hanging that way.

I remember enjoying this book, but since I can only remember there being a furry baby in it, and nothing else about it, I am wary of giving it four stars....
something i read at my time in UWaterloo
This would be a great book for a kid who fights bathtime or washing their hair. Fair warning..... this book gets a little gross. buts and other things start to inhabit the dirtiest hair in the world. Ages 4+
A very good treatment of what Econometrics is, in plain English. Use a good undergrad book, this and book like Goldberger to supplement your undoubtedly unreadable PhD level textbook.

The prequel to this book, Hotel Paradise, is one of my favorite, read-over-and-over books. Unfortunately, it seems Grimes hadn't even read it recently before writing this. The first few chapters contradict previous events so many times I wanted to scream in frustration. It also seems to have lost the dreamlike, meandering quality I liked so much, as the 12-year-old narrator seems to have matured the 10 years or so that passed between the writing of the two novels, and is now looking back on the events that took place immediately following, while previously, she seemed to be telling about things as they happened. She explains things a lot more now. While some of this is exposition to remind us of what happened in the last book (with the aforementioned contradictions and just plain inaccuracies), it continues through new events, so that what seemed before to be a kid's eye view of things, is just plodding and mechanical. It was so disconcerting reading these virtually back-to-back; Emma didn't even seem like the same person. Sheriff Sam DeGehyn also seemed to have undergone an abrupt makeover. Emma's high praise of him being someone who didn't treat her like a kid and actually listened to her as though her thoughts were just as important as an adult's completely vanished, as he discounted her and her investigation of the murders, basically telling her to keep her little nose out of it. Especially if you consider Sam's actions in The End of the Pier where Sam is the only one who doesn't believe the convenient suspect is guilty, it's hard to see Sam here acting like he wants to pin everything on Ben, just because it's so coincidental and obvious. In fact, come to think of it, the two mysteries are quite similar in that there are several murders, an obvious suspect, and then a less obvious guilty party. Only Sam's attitude has done a complete 180 in terms of who he'd prefer to blame. Two other small nit-picks with Emma's character are that she seems to spend a lot of time going off places with strange men she just met, one even an admitted poacher(!), and aside from said poacher mentioning this one time, no one seems to have any problem with it. Second, I really could have done without Emma's intermittent descriptions of her imaginary vacation to Florida.(Emma's vacation is imaginary because her mom took off on a real vacation to Florida with Lola Davidow, co-owner of the hotel, and Davidow's daughter, ReeJane. Emma was not even invited.) In an almost-400-page book, a little more editing is definitely necessary. Also, who goes on vacation and leaves their two kids, aged 12 and 14, with no supervision except their 90 year old great-aunt, who never leaves the 4th floor, and a "slow-witted" dishwasher? If this story took place anywhere near reality, this kid would have been tragically raped, murdered, kidnapped, or burnt down the hotel instead of running around solving mysteries. I did like the way the story was wrapped up, and I do look forward to the third book, Belle Ruin, mostly because I haven't any idea what it could be about unless it's another mystery entirely. I didn't really think the first one needed such an extended wrap-up (the ambiguousness of Hotel Paradise's ending was part of its beauty), but it was interesting to find out more about the Deveraus and get some confirmation of certain theories. At this point, I'm not really sure whether to recommend this book or not. It's kind of a toss-up.

Untamed, the fourth novel in the Casts' House of Night series is quite an improvement over the last volume. Introducing new villains, Kalona and the Raven Mockers, and reuniting Zoe with her friends, a lot of what this series has been building towards is revealed. The characters continue to be both genuine and fascinating, and the writing, while juvenile, is just right for the kind of book this is. A guilty pleasure, but really I don't feel too terribly guilty of my enjoyment of it.

I never read any of the Chronicles of Narnia when I was younger. For some reason I thought it was more science fiction than fantasy. I really enjoyed reading all 7 of the stories.

Sad but I knew it would be since all WWII books and stories are somewhat sad. I liked the perspective this book was told from. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if I could. Fast easy read.
