So this is the first in a sci-fi trilogy written 20 years ago. Once again, like -Survivor- this story comes with a very interesting alien race, though this one is much more alien being plant based as far as I can tell and having 3 genders. And so again I was reminded of Card's -Speaker for the Dead-. The story holds up to time well, probably because as with other Butler sci-fi novels, advanced technology is (mysteriously?) absent. Also similar to her other novels the environment is harsh and the lead character is a female that suffers throughout. At this point I wouldn't say I'm getting bored of her writing but I would like to read something "different" from her. I've got 5 more novels of hers to read but 2 of them are the continuation of this series so I guess I'll find out over the next couple months.

I may be a nerd for loving this book. While defending my thesis I did actually quote it. I learned a lot about women who work as "domesticas", the latin american women who spend their days cleaning houses, mainly salvadorenas for rich people in LA. The author rode buses with them and interviewed them. By the end, you may have tons of questions for the cleaning lady at your work.
These stories offer insights into one families experiences coming from the Dominican Republic to the United States. They are striking in the honest portrayal of both good and bad instances within the family's migration. x

I liked the movie better. Miranda was exactly the same for both the book and the movie, but the titular main character, Andy, was a whiny wimp in the book. Maybe I'm too much of a loner to judge fairly, but the way all her friends' problems were somehow her responsibility, or the way people couldn't handle her inability to make personal calls during work hours seemed skewed the wrong way for me. Her attitude WAS bad. The job itself was as miserable as one of the circles of Hell, but I just could not like Andy (in the book) well enough to fully appreciate how awful the situation must have been. The writing style was good, especially for a first novel. I didn't notice any awkward sentences or pacing. If I had felt any rapport for the protagonist, I'd have felt that the book moved along rather well.

Funny, but if you already own the first book, you don't need the second. (Being a teacher, I suppose I appreciate it more than others might, as well.)

Originally posted at: http://longandshortreviews.blogspot.c... Prepare to take a journey to the old west. From the moment I started reading Odessa, I felt as though I had stepped back in time. Ms. Simpson makes excellent use of descriptive language that completely immersed me in the old west setting. “The sun sat high in the sky and pummeled her with heated fists. Sweat trickled down her face and neck and soaked her chemise. Her parched lips longed for a drink but she denied the need, fearing she’d not find water again soon…Her gaze scanned the lonely trail ahead; her spirits sagged.” When I read these few sentences, I felt like I was trudging through the desert with Odessa. Odessa is certainly a feisty heroine. She is young and more than a little naïve, but she doesn’t let that slow her down one bit. When her father dies, she isn’t about to let the desert claim her life too. She sets off toward Phoenix. However, sometimes a positive attitude isn’t enough. If Zach hadn’t found her by the side of the road, Odessa would have died. Odessa is grateful, but her determination to “help” Zach by earning some money when they stop in Charleston only causes more problems for the pair. I couldn’t help but shake my head when Odessa stubbornly refused to listen to Zach. Still, I liked her as a character. While Odessa makes many mistakes, her heart is pure and strong. Zach is the perfect hero for Odessa. Like Odessa, Zach is young, but he’s strong, loyal, and a perfect gentleman. Despite Zach’s good moral fiber, he’s made a terrible mistake. He’s agreed to rob a stage in order to save his father’s ranch. Zach regrets his decision immediately, but he doesn’t see any other way. Zach’s internal struggle to make the right decision makes him a very relatable character. As I read, I was constantly in suspense about what Zach would do. Would he tell Odessa the reason he was traveling to Charleston? Would he actually rob the stage or would be back out? I won’t spoil the story by revealing Zach’s course of action, but I will say that I was surprised by Ms. Simpson’s interesting solution to Zach’s dilemma. I also enjoyed the romance between Odessa and Zach. Neither Zach nor Odessa is very experienced in the ways of love, but the feelings they develop for each other are real and very strong. They have excellent chemistry and share a few passionate kisses. However, I liked that they didn’t rush into a physical relationship. Zach is the first man that Odessa has ever kissed and he knows that she isn’t ready to make love just yet. Zach truly won me over when he agreed to take things slowly so he and Odessa could learn about love together. I’m glad I had the opportunity to read Odessa. The story has a nice, steady pace, the characters are likable, and the romance is sweet and truly touching. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good western romance.

This book focused a lot on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is something I don't know much about and find a little bit hard to understand. I've never known anyone to go through that. I read another book that had a character with that and it was so over the top I think it left me a bit of eye rolling. I read at the end that the author experienced some of this herself. I always appreciate books where you know the author really felt those emotions and literally left a piece of themselves in the book.
