in the world of children's mysteries, this thriller is as edgy as it gets. marital strife and illegal drug use haunt the background, while murder, cheating, and a general sense of panic permeate the surface. peter abrahams' writing is smart and witty. he imploys some very interesting stylistic mechanisms, such as occasional im conversations, giving a realistic feel to this 21st century girl detective's daily life. the characters are lifelike, their decisions are understandable, and the outcome is plausible and unexpected.
The info here does not resonate with me. Doesn't feel right. Plus I don't think I want to eat only turkey as my protein. It's great a few times a year, but as the main meat?
This was an interesting tale of a veterinarian who found himself, somewhat inadvertently, running away to join the circus. It is set around the time of the Great Depression and touches a bit on the impacts of both the Depression and Prohibition. Mostly, however, it is a love story and a reminiscence of an old man looking back on his early life. The character development is good, there are heroes and villains, and there is plenty of action. It's a fast read, good for a rainy day escape to another place and time.

Cellars by John Shirley Like many people I believed that the psychosexual extreme horror that Clive Barker introduced the mainstream with the books of blood came out of nowhere. The discovering of the works of John Shirley (shamefully I have to admit my first Shirley book was his nano-tech monster novel Crawlers) taught me that there was at least one novel that beaten Barker to the punch. Released in 1981 John Shirley’s novel Cellars is his most traditional extreme horror novel. Reading the new revised edition that was released in 2006 from Infrapress has shown me what an influence this work had. Perhaps not directly on Barker but the splatterpunks like Laymon, Skipp, Spector and of course Edward Lee who wrote the introduction for this new edition. Set in New York the city is character - a trick Shirley is known for having done more literarily in his Cyberpunk classic City Come-a-Walkin. Something is under the city trading the lives of persons found slashed and marked with occult symbols for power. Long before American Psycho Shirley explores the limits that the yuppies and power elite of New York will go to expand their power and influence. Along the way you get satanic cults, romance, gore, suspense and one of the most bizarre horror novels of the early 80’s. A must read for fans of extreme horror that still has it’s bite after 27 years!
Ok, now we're just getting downright silly!!! :)
I was not as blown away by this book as everyone else seems to be. Jewish struggle, homosexuality, estranged fathers, blah blah blah. There are other books that handle these themes better.

Yes, I am just like every 13 year old girl in the world and I loved this book. It was an easy quick read that I did not want to put down. I instantly went out and got the second book because I didn't want the story to end.

These books are very cute. I wish they'd been out when I was 7 or 8. The names of the characters alone are enough to keep you reading, and the story of the littlest viking who is destined to be the leader of the tribe is both hilarious and inspiring. I really, really like these.

I read this book because I'm fascinated and intrigued by all things Marie Antoinette! There are three books in this trilogy: this one, "Days of Splendor, Days of Sorrow" and "Confessions of Marie Antoinette." All three of the books have the same pluses and minuses. Incredibly well-researched, there are quite a few times in the books when I learned things that I've never read or heard of before - surprising after as many books as I've read...and even multiple visits to Chateau Versailles! The author's knowledge of the subject has the distinct advantage of 'putting you right there' and her descriptions of people and surroundings are detailed and sharp, allowing the reader to truly 'see' what is being described. The books are written in the first person, by Marie Antoinette...except for occasional instances when - out of nowhere - they point of view is switched to another person. I found the times this happened to be confusing and poorly inserted into the narratives. I realize, of course, that in telling the story there needed to be information given to the reader which Marie Antoinette was not privy to. However, I felt it was extremely clumsily handled and spoiled what might have been surprisingly good historical fiction (not a genre of which I'm particularly overly fond). I recommend the entire trilogy to anybody who is interested in learning the "true" story of what happened to the famous, ill-fated Queen of France. The research and details of her life make up for what is lacking in cohesive writing style. They are quick easy reads, and I found myself finished with the trilogy much sooner than I expected to be.
