This is the old-school sword & sorcery kind of fantasy, with some political intrigue mixed in. It’s been a while since I read one of Lynn Flewelling’s books, and I’m reminded that she can come up with some villains who are really twisted and evil. Good story-telling and and it’s always nice to revisit the Nightrunner world.

I reread this masterpiece while I was getting better from the flu/asthma complications last month and I was struck again about how brilliant this book is.

What's fun about this: set in college campus in the 1970s; literary references since heroine is an English major. What's not fun: set in a small college campus with very subtle connect to the Tam Lin tale, it's super long and the characters aren't very interesting. I read others in the Fairy Tale Series so I tied this one only I just didn't really like it.

I HAVE NEVER READ THIS BOOK! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??
Not a bad read. I like the character Raylene because she is unique among Vampire protagonists in that she is neurotic, paranoid, and a little insecure. It made for a nice change. I do have to admit that I loathe first-person narratives. This book did nothing to disabuse me of that preference. It is a good tale and I might consider reading a second volume but I doubt I'll do it right away. I'd recommend this as some of the better "urban fantasy" but certainly not the best.

A. Maz. Ing. This is the kind of book that confirms everything I've always suspected, and lays it out in a smart, coherent way that has the added effect of making me furious at the world.

How is this book a companion book to The Giver? I haven't read it in forever but if there is any connection between the two it is very loose. The story had an interesting setting and plot, but it was left underdeveloped and oversimplified. Three stars might be too generous, but I didn't hate it, it just didn't live up to its potential.

Umm- i know im a geek, but i LOVE this book. i've read it like five or six times at this point and it sounds from andreas review that it is a more tongue in cheek/sci-fi version of Oryx and Crake. If you like techy/action/humor books definitely check this one out

I've come to admire Patrick Taylor's Dr. Fingal O'Reilly in his later years as a gruff but soft-hearted county Doctor in Northern Ireland. How refreshing to get this chance to look back into his past, to the early 1930s when, against the wishes of his academic father, he paid his way through Dublin's Trinity Medical School after serving in the Royal Navy. The book captures O'Reilly's years of clinical instruction so well and underscores how primitive medicine at the time was. Fingal and his fellow students faced diseases like tuberculosis, cancer, cirrhosis and heart failure with the most basic of treatments that often failed due to limited understanding of the disease pathophysiology and the even more limited availability of successful treatments, including the most basic of antibiotics that we sadly overuse today! Complicating the situation is the condition of the city in which they practice. Still reeling from the Irish Revolution, Dublin is made up largely of impoverished neighborhoods where disease runs rampant because of the poor sanitation and the inability of its tenants to improve their lot in life. The courses are grueling and aimed at hardening the students against the disease and death they will certainly encounter, but Fingal finds a way to distance himself while still caring for his patients, a lesson that becomes startlingly important when tragedy strikes his own family. Through it all, he finds time to play rugby and court a beautiful young nurse, but Fingal must ultimately choose what is most important to him and sacrifice other things in life to make his dream a reality. Each of Taylor's Irish Country books has touched my heart and this is no exception. I really enjoyed seeing Fingal as a young man and learning about the experiences that shaped him into the man we know now. I was delighted to realize how similar he was as a young doctor to Barry, his assistant in Ballybucklebo. I also liked learning about O'Reilly's early courtship of Kitty O'Hallorhan, for it gives real body to their current relationship and makes the reader realize how rich a history they share. Some reviewers have commented on the "excess" of medical terminology, but a book about a medical student without these passages would certainly be an incomplete portrait. Too, Taylor does a very good job of explaining the medical terms he uses with layman's language, making even the most obscure words clear. I value the book most for making me grateful for the advances in medicine that have been made since Fingal's days in school. How awful it must have been to feel unable to treat even the simplest infections - to watch patients die when you knew what was ailing them but just couldn't do anything about it. How blessed we are to live in an age of antibiotics, MRIs, robotic surgery and so much more. I was also touched by Fingal's interactions with his patients and the respect and care that he showed them. That is what makes medicine so rewarding and it makes me, as a pathologist, regret just a tiny little bit that I don't have the chance to have that same interaction with people daily. Though my work is rewarding, the life of a country doctor, with its close ties to patients and their families, is certainly made to look even more so by this book. All in all, I can't say enough in praise of the book and I highly recommend it, especially to those in the medical profession or those considering a career in healthcare! It will certainly bolster your resolve!
