This was my first Patricia Cornwell book, and I have to say I had a hard time getting into it. I found that the characters were introduced in an onslaught, and at times I found it difficult to keep track of them all. However, that said, about 1/2 into the book it started to get REALLY good, and I began to understand the necessity of all those characters. The ending for me was totally unexpected too! Now that I know the writer's main characters, I will certainly be reading more!

I did the book on CD because I really wanted to know the story, but knew I wouldn't be able to get through the book itself. I could barely make it through the book on CD. The narrator was horrible. I absolutely love the movie and was expecting the same romance and adventure, but got none! Literary wise, top notch, but entertainment wise, not so much.

Didn't learn anything I didn't already know. Plus the recipes seemed a bit complicated and easily bought at most health stores.

The setting of the The Janissary Tree> is fascinating: the novel takes place in 1836 in Istanbul, with the Ottoman empire on the cusp between tradition and the modernity that will ultimately destroy it. And the main character, Yashim, who is a eunuch, certainly provides a twist on the traditional detective! However, I can’t say that I loved the novel as a novel, rather than as a thinly veiled history lesson about a rather forgotten period in history. In fact, every character was ready to spout off pages of Ottoman history or the arrangement of the Sultan’s harem, at the drop of a hat, so that we, the readers, understood what was going on. But since they actually lived through these events, why would they spend so much time talking about them? That’s a completely unnatural, novelistic contrivance. As for Yashim himself, I never felt like I got to know him at all throughout the course of the novel – his two distinguishing characteristics (being a eunuch; being a good cook) defined him and we never saw any growth in the character. He would start to be angsty about having been, err, eunuch-ized, and then he’d suppress that angst and cook something and learn some more Ottoman history (plus his being a eunuch seemingly does not hinder him in the least in his affair with a beautiful lady whom he encounters during the course of his investigation. I am not 100% sure that Yashim would be physically capable of what he does… hmmm!). Lastly, the solution to the mystery was rushed and not very well thought out; I would have liked to know how the villain had managed to carry out some of his plans and who assisted him and the two separate mysteries that Yashim was supposed to be solving weren't very well-connected. Also, one small and completely infuriating thing is that Jason Goodwin keeps referring to the Janissaries as “Karagozi” Sufis, which is just bizarre, because he wrote an Ottoman history book and therefore undoubtedly knows that the Janissaries were followers of the Bektashi Sufis. Did he just not want to offend any existing religious group by using their name in a work of fiction? It constantly takes me out of the story! That said, I did like the setting a lot and the recipes were mouthwatering, so I'm giving it an extra star.

** spoiler alert ** I re-read this book a couple of years ago, and it is one of my all-time favorites. It's very different from most of my favorites (classic romance). It is a very romantic book, but also of course very dark. I love the couple of Winston & Julia. The whole time you're reading you're just dreading them getting caught...knowing it's coming.

Just not my thing. Seemed more like an intergalactic CSPAN than Sci-Fi classic. Still love Asimov though. Just not my thing.

This is the third Atwood book I've read, and probably the most accessible, though some of her word game tendencies still get on my nerves, and the "Historical Note" didn't seem to add much of relevance. Still, I appreciate the alternate world Atwood has created here. Gilead, even for a man, is a frightening place. Offred is an interesting narrator, and though the feminist message can be a little heavy-handed at times, Atwood is too talented to let it get too far off course. Dystopic futures are always interesting, if not fun, to read about. As a high school teacher, this makes for a nice pairing with Orwell's 1984>. I'd say it's worth your time.

My third read through of Chalice - I will never outgrow McKinley. I'm not sure what makes her work time- and age-resistant, but rereading is not only just as good, it usually adds to the splendor of her writing. Reading through Chalice this time, it is more clear than ever that this was a short story intended for her collection of tales about fire that took on a life of it's own and escaped the limitations of a short story. It didn't escape too far, however, and my initial complaint of the book is that I wanted more character development or more story or something! The conclusion happens quickly - more quickly than I would have desired. Well, I renege on the character development complaint - the characters are well developed and one half of what endears me to the book. The other endearing half are the focus on honey and bees. What this book did for me about honey is similar to what rose daughter did to roses - both honey and roses have become exponentially more beautiful and nuanced since reading Robin McKinley.
