Ah, Kindle. I love it so much! It doesn't hurt my hands, I can make the font a big as my poor eyes need it to be. The only problem is that on the Kindle version you don't get the map or the list of characters. I am so glad I have my husband's hardback copy to refer to. And occasionaly I would crack open the BOOK just for the other senses, smell, feel of paper. On the hardback it has font and spaces between lines so I can still track. But I fall back to the Kindle as soon as my hands or eyes get tired. I, also, will do some of the reading on my PC version of Kindle. Here is my review from the BOOK edition: I slid into this book a little hesitantly. It wasn't from Phedre's point of view. It is from her foster son's. That was unnerving and maddening. I had loved getting to know the deep and loving Phedre. 'Love as thou wilt' had put a small, slight woman in many dangerous adventures. But on my husband's urging I continued. I learned to love Imriel nearly as much as I loved Phedre. Though from a male perspective, this book led us to see a young prince develop into one who could love as deeply as his foster mother. But it wasn't easy. Adolescence never is. I think it may be harder on males than females, well, it was in my day. Now I think young women are facing life's challenges more independently. That makes me happy to see it. But back to the book. I loved it. I loved it so much that I almost forgot to come over here and give my review. I have my Kindle, Audible and my husband's hardback copy queued up and ready for the second of Imriel's trilogy.

Yum!!! This is a really cool idea for a book, not that it's the first of it's kind or anything, but i love books that are a cookbook and dialogue all at once! Combining food and reading? Brilliant. It's refreshing, funny, and not the kind of book that needs to be read all at once or in any particular order... although I guess it does help if you're seriously looking to go on a diet and lose weight without working too hard. Otherwise for people who are just looking to stay healthy it really just reminds you to do the things you already know you should be doing, and gives out some awesome recipes along the way. Who doesn't want to know how to make their own baguettes and yogurt? I had also forgotten about leeks before this book, something that will never happen to THIS onion lover again.

A gentle crime novel. First book by this author that I have experienced, I had the audio book, it was ok. May read more but will not have me rushing to library/shop for more in series.

Definitely my favorite of the series so far!
I read this book in middle school. It's part of the quartet that began with a Wrinkle in Time, which I read in elementary school. I liked how the author set the story in biblical times during the period in which the great flood occurred.

This is Rapp's first "adult novel" (he's written several young adult novels as well as some plays). I'm not sure that I would be enchanted by it if I were a real adult, but I'm a sucker for books where I have something in common with the protagonist. The narrator is a 22 year-old writer who grew up in the Midwest, went to a liberal arts college, and then moved to New York. The story chronicles a year or so of his life in the city in the early 1990s, which includes squatting in a building in the East Village, collecting unemployment checks, and dealing with bizarre roommates and neighbors. The narrative is in the first person, and as far as I remember we never learn the narrator's given name. I'm wouldn't say that the novel is autobiographical, but since Rapp is also a writer of Midwestern origin who moved to New York (although on a fellowship at Juilliard) the "starving artist" details feel real. Also, it made me laugh out loud on the train.

Great primer for seeing how the modern Supreme Court developed. A surprising exposure of an earlier rendition of George Bush's "Let the Marketplace take care of it" philosophy and how through FDR's overreaching the powers of the executive, we achieved the modern context of the Court looking out for the common good. Really hated to see it end.
Maguire gives us a complicated journey through the life of the Wicked Witch of the West: From birth to death. His plot is vibrant, and follows Elphaba (our witch) from her tumultuous birth, through her school days, her romances, and on into the times that created the Wicked Witch. Mcguire is able to create a believable fantasy land, complete with politics and strife, he embodies the true Oz. It is the downfall of many fantasy writers that they rely on plot alone to drive their tales, but Maguire is certainly not one of them. He weaves his prose like poetry, elaborate and often times lovely they remove all notion of your typical fantasy novel's simple platter. His characters each held an individual and unmistakable voice. Elphaba was particularly striking. Not completely good or bad, she was rounded out and genuinely sympathetic, one of the most beautiful "villians" I have ever read. I did have a bit of a problem with the ending, though. The whole of the novel was so rich with detail and imagery that the meeting with Dorthy seemed rushed and anti-climatic. This may have been the authors purpose, to show that this part of the tale that is focused on is really secondary to the tale of the Wicked Witch, but I personally felt it was a little out of place.
the first chapter will move you to tears. the end sucks.
