Thought provoking--yet funny. Loved it!

Another tale in Moning's Highlander series, this one reads like a Scottish sleeping beauty from the male perspective. Drustran MacKeltar is a 16th century highlander laid out by a gypsy spell in a trance until a modern woman accidentally falls upon him and wakes him up. What follows is trademark Moning - braw man, wee woman, humorous repartee between the two - if you don't like Moning by now, then you shouldn't have gotten to book 4 in the series. As for myself, quite enjoyable, as always.

I loved this book. It was perfect light reading, and so much fun. I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

I've read 16 per cent of it. Not sure if it's written by the bloke who wrote "Dick and Dora", or if it's an incredibly ham-fisted attempt at irony. Either way, it's junk. Anyone who thinks it's "deep" is really working hard to convince themselves how clever they are. (ie that's exactly how some of my uni lecturers would have seen it.)

A fun mystery series based on the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy while working in so many other of Jane Austen's characters from other books! Worth the read!

I had given this to my Dad for Christmas, and then never got a chance to snatch it from him (as I'm always tempted to do with book-presents). Actually, in typical Dad fashion, he blurted out that he couldn't understand why anyone would actually read the new Pollan tome. It being the day before Christmas, and the offending book having already been wrapped and put under the tree, I hoped that he'd change his tune after reading a bit. His sheepishness the next day melted into ecstatic praise for the book, and he said that he just couldn't put it down, so I was vindicated. It IS quite a page turner, a natural history of food, agriculture, ecology, biology, and the human cultures that shape all of these elements. Pollan's style is very unassuming and casual, but there is a hint of smugness that is hard to pin down--I guess he sort of thinks he's got it all figured out pretty well. He also tends to ramble and get repetitive. I think it could have definitely been cut down by 1/4. On the whole though, a fascinating read that should be required for high school biology, or at least health class. He doesn't tell you how to get around the omnivore's MANY dilemmas, but he does arm you with plenty of facts about what you should not eat (factory farmed meat) and what you should darn well try to support (local, sustainable agriculture).

I haven't read much YA dystopian fiction but what I have read I've enjoyed so when the opportunity to read and review Bumped by Megan McCafferty came up I jumped at it. The synopsis really grabbed me, a virus has caused everyone over the age of 18 to become infertile so the responsibility for procreation has fallen entirely to teenagers. Society has become completely focused on these teenagers, they act as surrogates for would-be-parents and if they have desired characteristics they can be paid with anything from cash to a full college education to comestic surgery to return their body to its pre-baby state. The story centres around sixteen-year-old twin sisters, Melody and Harmony, who were separated at birth. Melody was adopted by a family from Otherside who realised the potential she had as a surrogate and have spent the last sixteen years doing everything they can to make her a highly desirable choice. Harmony was adopted by a family from Goodside, she's been brought up in a strongly Christian society who disapprove of the choices Othersiders have made. Melody has been contracted by a couple, they're just trying to find the perfect match to father her child. Whilst she is waiting Harmony makes contact with her for the first time, and arranges to visit. We meet them as they're just meeting and starting to find out about each other's world. Melody's world feels particularly strange to the reader, it has it's own slang and jargon and these are littered through the book. By having Harmony as a newcomer to the world we have a way in too, I found that she asked most of the questions I wanted answers to. I really liked Melody, the further you get into the book the more layers you get to peel back. I liked the fact that whilst she was so focussed on her prospective pregnancy she was still caught up in the same issues as most teenagers - trying to defend her place within the social standings at school, and worried about who Zen, her male best friend, is spending time with. I found Harmony a little harder to identify with, she's more guarded and I didn't feel like I got to know her quite as well. I liked Zen from the first time he appeared, and found that I liked him more and more as the book went on. There are parts of the book that are quite hard to read, this society feels so exploitative. There is one bit in particular, a long way into the book, when Melody herself comes face to face with one of the darkest sides of her world. I actually stopped reading for a little while, I needed time to think about what I'd read. I realised that the strength of this book was that however hard and dark it became it still felt believable. I could imagine how our society could have changed to become that society, and that was what made it more challenging to read. The final few chapters really build up to what feels like a tv style mid-season finale, the first act ends on a bang and I can't wait to read the sequel Thumped when it comes out next year.

It still works, Blind Pew and the Black Spot and all that pirate stuff, properly imagined, agonizingly drawn out. Stevenson was a genius, brought up on Penny Dreadfuls (twopence coloured, penny plain) and started so many hares. Think of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

I enjoyed this book quite a lot. It's greatest attribute is the perfect pacing. Although the story is told from the alternative perspective of a girl in the post-apocalyptic North America, I feel the "thunder dome fight to the death" is a theme that has been tried and done before. The most impressive thing is taking a story that has been told before and interpreting it in just the proper method to weave the greatest story. I deeply love that. I am looking forward to reading the book again to pick up on some of the details. It is a book that is read quickly because the desire is to figure out the next turn. I do wish some of the larger themes were fleshed out a bit more in the first book, but it is a young-adult novel. Very enjoyable.
