I was offered this book for review and although YA fantasy isn't something I'd usually consider my thing I took a look at the reviews and seeing mentions of Harry Potter and Hitchhikers Guide, which I have read and seriously enjoyed, thought maybe I should give it a go. The Pan of Hamgee has been blacklisted and on the run for years, quite a feat as others only manage it for a matter of months under the oppressive regime in K'Barth. Having eyes in the back of your head probably helps keep you out of the clutches of ruler Lord Vernon and the equally ruthless Resistance - that and a massive yellow streak. Without much choice in the matter he ends up as getaway driver for a criminal gang, a job he excels at. While life hasn't been comfortable for The Pan for a long time it starts to become more and more curious when his landladies and an old man start making oblique references to another resistance movement and he lays his hands on a mysterious thimble. The first part of the book sets up The Pan's life and current position, and the second part really introduces the mystery and magic. This book creates a whole new universe with a range of species all of its own, those species having their own appearances and characteristics, all well described by the author. I'm always slightly concerned about fantasy novels, with whether I'll remember lots of strange names or lose the plot. In this case K'barth is about as close as it gets to a name with lots of Xs and Zs and no vowels, and some of the names are brilliantly comic so no problems on that count. It is well edited and I only spotted a couple of typos I'll pass on to the author. The Pan is a lovely character, he is abundantly clear that he is a coward and has no grand illusions about himself, but people around him (and gradually the reader) see something special in him. Being so down on himself makes him all the more likeable. I really enjoyed the way his relationship with his scary Swamp Thing boss developed and the change in The Pan after he starts questioning things. I would say this book is probably most suitable for tweens and younger teens but even in my early 30s I still really enjoyed the read. It is left on a real cliff-hanger and I definitely want to carry on reading the series.

The first in the incomparable Niccolo series. Stands alone as a masterful piece of historical fiction, but has so much more resonance once you've read to the end of this series - a masterwork of plotting!

It's fun. I'd rather have more Pendergast, but it's still fun. It's profoundly clear that, where Pendergast is a sleuth, Crew is supposed to be a spy, and Preston & Child know how to ratchet up tension like no others. But I still like Pendergast better.

Really informative, cute projects too. It's a good reference book too, I find I go back to double-check my work.

I LOVE these books! They're imaginative and creative in a way that took other vamp novels (coughTwilightcough) from a 4 to a 2 in my ratings. The characters are easy to fall in love (OR hate for the villians) with and the twists threw me for a loops over and over again. It's something different in the way of vampires. REALLY. No sparkles, either. My ONLY qualm with these books is that it's easy to tear through them. The story is hashed and rehashed throughout the series. We already know the plot in the current book. I don't think it needs to be summarized every time a new character is brought in. I believe that slows down the books a little too much. I just want to know what happens next! Well, maybe it's a good thing. There's a lot of buildup between the action and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I just think that, for the price paid for these novels, though I still think it's worth it, there could be a little more per book. All in all, I own all of the books so far, as soon as the next is released, I'll be buying it as well. I just can't wait to know what happens in the world of the House of Night.

From page one you are completely engulf in the story. Ms. Ione creates a world in which you never want to return from. The characters she delivered to the story is so complex, flawed, and the tortured souls we love to read. Their personalities are complete relatable and they feel so realistic. Also ...

I was sitting in a coffee shop recently with a young woman who described herself as a Taoist Pagan Pantheist. My first thought was, "what the heck is that?" Luckily what came out of my mouth was slightly more tactful, "describe that for me, I've never met someone who described herself that way" (Translation: what the heck is that!). After we talked for a while, she recommended I read this book. So here's my synopsis - pretty fascinating book, actually. I'm looking forward to getting together with her again to discuss it. The Tao of Pooh was a very enlightening book. Besides just giving a very simple and entertaining explanation of the essence of Taoism (through the eyes of that crazy little bear), this book challenged modernist assumptions on many levels and in some ways was very refreshing. "From the Taoist point of view, while the scholarly intellect may be useful for analyzing certain things, deeper and broader matters are beyond its limited reach (24)...and one sometimes gets the impression that those intimidating words are there to keep us from understanding. That way the scholars can appear Superior, and will not likely be suspected of Not Knowing Something" (28). "But sometimes the knowledge of the scholar is a bit hard to understand because it doesn't seem to match up with our own experience of things. In other words, Knowledge and Experience do not necessarily speak the same language. But isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?" (28-9) "Now, scholars can be very useful and necessary, in their own dull and unamusing way. They provide a lot of information. It's just that there is Something More, and that Something More is what life is really about" (31). My only critique of the book is that it is purely theoretical. In some ways it does the very thing it critiques - only exists in the abstract area of the mind - there is nothing practical. It left me wondering what Taoism looks like in the life of a real person. What would it look like in my life? How does it transform my relationships? How does it connect me to something bigger than myself? How does it lead me to change the world? How does it encourage me to pour myself into community or the lives of other people? How does it help me change the shit of my life or heal my brokenness? This is the first book I've read on Taoism and so I don't know whether there is something out there that addresses some of my questions or not. I don't know whether there is a more concrete story of the life of a Taoist or not (if someone knows of one, I'd love to read it - something similar to Blue Like Jazz?). In fact, this book leaves me wondering whether Taoism has anything to offer me other than some good, abstract ideas to think about. At the same time, I want to avoid being too critical and demanding of a book that isn't meant to be exhaustive about its subject.

I have to rewrite my review for this book. In the couple weeks after I stopped reading it, I found myself telling people about fascinating examples from the book over and over again. Especially the linguistic, evolutionary, and early agricultural information was great for me, because all three are outside of my areas of expertise.
This is one of my favourite Jodi Picoult books, something about the twist at the end of the book just leaves you wondering if you, as a mother, would do the same for your child. I think the indepth background and information that she provides for a reader to understand the environment in which the story takes place is awesome!
