I had trouble staying interested in this book. I think that it was just not really the kind of book I would usually like. The style in which it was written was not effective to get the story across to me. I kind of gave up and did not finish the book.

This book really kept me captivated through to the end. It's the first book in the "Jill Kismet" series. I strayed from my normal vampire obsession and I'm glad I did. Horror, suspense, and mystery combined.

Drags a bit mid way through, but then picks up quickly. Reads like a memoir which I suppose it is. I like how he talks about just sitting and waiting for God to speak about everything, anything. I don't think we do this enough. I know I don't.

Pulpy fun but with some wonderfully bizarre ideas as well. A must for fans of lost word tales. Published in 1918.

A must read for any gal getting into running. Words of wisdom involving goal setting, how to progress without injury, etc.
Finkelstein's analysis of how "The Holocaust" (a supposedly unprecendent event in human history, and one which cannot be compared with any other without stern accusations of anti-semitism) has become a part of public consciousness in the U.S., and how it is used to muzzle criticism of U.S. and Israeli policies is top-notch. I am not in a position to judge his treatise on the "shake down" of European governments and businesses, though it is safe to say that much of the funds and properties gained therein are being used for purposes much less noble than the constantly evoked "poor Holocaust survivors."

Ooh, I got through this book so quickly and was not surprised to find that I'll have to read the sequels to find out all of the secrets. It's like the A-List meets I Know What You Did Last Summer. Very creepy, in a fashionable way!

Okay I guess. I just really hated how Jenny was so sort of "one-dimensional" as the mean girl or easy or whatever. Haven't we had enough literature written about people like them, who have reasonable back stories to show why they ended up as such psychos? I don't know, it just doesn't seem fair. It's a bit lacking in character development for me. But it did tug a few heartstrings :-)

The third book in the Mistress of the Art of Death series, Grave Goods follows Adelia to Glastonbury Abbey, on behalf of King Henry. Her arrival falls on the heels of a devastating fire that has wiped out most of the great Abbey and the township, but has revealed a buried couple, rumored to be King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Adelia's mission is to prove if these bones indeed belong to them, but on her way she stumbles into even great mystery. Will she survive this latest round of trouble? If book one seemed to focus on medieval English rural life, and book two took a closer look at their monarchy then book three really delves into the church and law. Like many, I mostly associated Henry II with the death of Thomas Becket, and had certainly never read anything revealing his legal reforms. So I was very enthralled by the legal chatter and scenes in Grave goods. I'm endlessly intrigued by Ms Franklin/Norman representation of King Henry, who she clearly views as England's saviour from the dark ages. Short of Adelia herself he may be one of my favorite characters. As for the church, again Ms Franklin/Norman has made it real and alive in a way very few people could do with a story set in 1176. The lives of the priests, what was viewed as acceptable or unacceptable by the church at that time and what the loss of a church would do to a town connected to it were all fascinating aspects of this story, as much so as the mysteries Adelia is set to unravel. Another layered and thought provoking book, Ariana Franklin has outdid herself once again. Who knew learning could be so much stinkin' fun? Bring on book four A Murderous Procession.

A survey of the theme of fire in the ancient Syriac Baptismal tradition. Used for a paper on the theme of fire in Christianity, particularly with respect to Baptism. In the ancient East, fire is preserved as an image of the holy Spirit, while in the West (North Africa, Rome, Europe) it is focused on as an image of purification, and more specifically hell.
