I bought this book for the cover and the blurb on the back. A fairly small book of 255 pages, it has a basic plot and is simply written. To be honest, this book did not grab me. If anything it irritated the hell out of me. The plot was just too basic and in some retrospects not an enjoyable one. It didn't feel like it really went anywhere and I finished the novel, thinking is that it? It left me feeling relieved I didn't need to read anymore. Definitely not worth buying.

Don't set this book down before you get through the battlefield scenes...I promise you won't regret the bloodshed if you stay with it through the battle of Franklin. One of my favorite books that I read this year.
This is a brilliant book that looks at the Christian world view from the presuppostion of God. God is and the world is. It is playful and creative. It is the source of so much of C. S. Lewis' thoughts.

The entry of our new puppy, Cappy, also brought this book into my life. I watch The Dog Whisperer pretty regularly, and have used the book to emphasize the training in the TV show. My biggest challenge has been finding my calm assertive side while exercising more than I have ever done in my life.

An absolute page turner from beginning to end. "Heeee's Freeeeee" is the anonymous phone call that Eve keeps receiving beginning the day her ex-boyfriend (who allegedly tried to murder her) is released from prison. As the book progresses, we learn of several more murders, all related to a mental hospital run by nuns that is now closed. What are the victims' connection to Eve; what do palindromes have to do with the murders? Is Eve really related to the detectives investigating the murders? Lisa Jackson's writing style has the reader wanting to figure out who the murdered is before the end of the book but is stymied with unforeseen twists and turns along the way. This is the fourth book I've ready by Lisa Jackson and will read the others in this series (Bentz and Montoya detective series) but wonder if her stories take place in hospitals, convents and schools because they provide the perfect setting for multiple characters with many layers of intrigue. I just hope, when reading her other books, they don't become part of a formula.
Read this back in the early 80's when I still drank, still worshipped Papa, still lived in South Florida. Reread it after a recent trip to the Keys. It's still as good. In fact, better. Sadder, too, but deeper and richer now that I'm older. Of all the master wrote, this remains my favorite.

I have a fixation with the years leading up to WWI. The idealism of the pre-war years reminds me of the late 1960s - the progressives honestly believed that they were going to change the world - not in decades, but NOW! They believed in equality for all, but were engulfed by a larger desire for nationalism, racial hate, and grand leaders. The War ended all a certain type of idealism, and that type of decentralized, leaderless idealism went underground until the 60s. This book has all of that AND it's written beautifully. There are beautiful passages about the decadence of the ruling classes, and their obsession with an outdated masculinity. Best is the story of Franz Ferdinand. I knew he was an aggressive dick, but I didn't know why. This book makes him out to be a tragic Cassandra. He correctly foresaw that war with Serbia would start a World War, and would mean the death of the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, and the Austrio-Hungarian Empire. He was a peace-nik and hated Austrian society because Austrian society hated his lower-born wife, and the Austrian court snubbed her at every opportunity. The lead up to his death at machinations of The Black Hand is a nail-biting action sequence. Even though we all know how it ends, the way we get to Ferdinand's assassination is exciting and incredible. There's much more here. Nearly everything in this book is vital, and there's nearly no fat.
3/3 in the triolgy I cried and cried when this one ended; having heard Lamott speak at Decatur First Baptist, I knew that another novel was not waiting in the wings to continue Rosie's journey. Heart-warming, satisfying, but sad knowing that I would not spy on Rosie's life anymore. Lamott did TONS of research for this book -- masterful!

I think this is my favorite Jane Austen novel - the most enlightening about the class system in England at this time. Emma grows in maturity, in compassion and in self-analysis during the novel. There are many sub-stories within the novel all told with a keen eye for which relationships work and which ones do not. Emma lives in a male-dominated society but has no qualms voicing her many opinions and instructions, even when it gets her into trouble. She is quite the self-confident lady in an age where women were mostly or totally dependent on the men in their lives. A great read.
