Liked it--will probably read the next, missed the first but that's ok. A zoo mystery--did the elephant do it? Pace picks up halfway through--one of those 50-page books (ones I give 50 pages before quitting).

A wonderful cover sold me on this book. It had good cover art -- a man in a black coat with a katana (Japanese Samurai Sword) and a automatic pistol. It had good plugs from various writers stating that the action was fierce and the book was about vampire hero, who fights vampire ninjas. Sounds great. And I guess the book lived up to its action billing, but not enough for me to read other stories in this series. Lawson is a vampire chose by the Vampire Counsel to be a Fixer, that is a person who is charged to make sure that bad vampires and others do not upset the balance and reveal that there are vampires amongst us. The author has the vampires drinking blood -- but not from the neck of humans but from recently dead humans, so the horror of blood drinking vombies is muted, which, in my mind is a good thing, as its hard to cheer for an action hero who kills humans for food. After an exhausting mission, Lawson is in Japan for some R & R and some black belt lessons from a renowned master, when on a train he interrupts and thwarts a murder attempt of a young Japanese man by a member of the Yakuza. Soon Lawson runs into his girlfriend Talya, a former KGB assassin, who happens to be in Japan because she is tracking down a vampire who may be trafficing in stolen organs. Talya wants Lawson's help and claims that the organ trafficer may be a criminal known as the Kensei, who turns out to be an albino Vampire. Meanwhile Lawson finds that another Fixer agent has been murdered and the cop charged with investigating the crime says that the Kensei may have been involved. It seems that the Kensei is using the stolen organs to create a new hybrid race of ninja vampires/humans mix and killed Lawson's friend because she got in his way. Moko the cop reveals that he and his brother, the young Japanese person on the train, are also hybrids but have rebelled against the Kensei and is equally interested in taking him down. The Kensei has killed all of Moko's generation of hybrids except his brother and him. The three join forces to fight the Kensei and stop his plan of domination using the hybrid vampires. There is a lot of action in the novel, the usual betrayals and fighting and Talya and Lawson have a good relationship, but I never felt that invested in his story or in the story of the Kensei. It might be because I did not read the prior novels. So if you want the Vampire spy action hero who fights with a Katana and a pistol, then you could give it a try, but to me, this book lacks some emotional resonance.

A lot of people chock this book up to a bunch of bullshit. I remember a film critic from my hometown exclaiming (when the movie came out), "isn't this just about three women who are having a really bad day?" And it is. That's true. But the essence of the book is such a distant thing for Americans or men or whoever the fuck is complaining about bourgeois tedium. Busy bees don't get ennui. This book is about nothingness. It's a study of what Friedan wrote about in the Feminine Mystique amplified by the fictional Dalloway and versed in a contemporary context. It is basically a declaration (by a man, strangely) of how creepily things have and have not changed for women in their ability to express themselves freely. Michael Cunningham goes on long, loquacious rants twirling with flora and characterizing the epitomes of these lost souls, their endless potential and possibilities and the tiredness of their inevitable aging: She is still slim. She still exudes, somehow; an aspect of thwarted romance, and looking at her now, past fifty, in this dim and prosperous room, Louis thinks of photographs of young soldiers, firm-featured boys serene in their uniforms; boys who died before the age of twenty and who line on as the embodiment of wasted promise, in photo albums or on side tables, beautiful and confident, unfazed by their doom, as the living survive jobs and errands, disappointing holidays. At this moment Clarissa reminds Louis of a soldier. or ...the way morphine rescues a cancer patient; not be eradicating the pain but simply by making the pain cease to matter. It's almost as if she's accompanied by an invisible sister, a perverse woman full of rage and recriminations, a woman humiliated by herself, and it is this woman, this unfortunate sister, and not Laura, who needs comfort and silence. Laura could be a nurse, ministering to the pain of another. I like it, but i like flowers. Literary flowers. I like bullshit. I like unnecessary explanation. Don't get me wrong. I like stark and subtle too. I like baroque and minimalism. I think they both have their place. This is not minimal. The Hours are about time's great big visceral gaping smoking gun eyeball. It is about clock watching. This is very new yorker. Very "first world problems." It is at once fashionable and graceful and overly clean and full of repose--like Meryl Streep. It's interesting this was written by a man. I get that itch of a imposition, you know. Like, "i bet shit's like this!" It's why i won't read what is the what and why i was disappointed by Culture Jam (i thought Kalle Lasn was a girl. When i found out he was some estonian dude, i was like, 'Damn, it's just another white dude shouting at the television.'). White men writing for other people as a testament to their plight is such a strange bullshit. But, as an absurd wonderer, i have to let it slide. I mean, everyone wants to imagine. Sucks there's so much potential fiction out there which could have been written by women, or by natives of some land or by gang-members in Detroit. But we have to settle for how we think they think, because white men are writing and we've got to read something; we've got to read someone's imagination: Couldn't they have discovered something...larger and stranger than what they've got? It is impossible not to imagine that other future, that rejected future, as taking place in Italy or France, among big sunny rooms and gardens; as being full of infidelities and great battles; as a vast and enduring romance laid over friendship so searing and profound it would accompany them to the grave and possible even beyond. She could, she thinks, have entered another world. She could have had a life as potent and dangerous as literature itself. Or then again maybe not, Clarissa tells herself. That's who i was. That's who i am--a decent woman with a good apartment, with a stable and affectionate marriage, giving a party. Venture too far for love, she tells herself, and you renounce citizenship in the country you've made for yourself. You end up just sailing from port to port. I like it. It's a test. Cunningham is trying to see, 'can i think like a beautiful, intelligent, inexplicably sad woman?' And he's tryin' Ringo. He's tryin real hard to be that woman: Laura faces her little boy, who stares at her nervously, suspiciously, adoringly. She is, above all else, tired; she wants more than anything to return to her bed and her book. The world, this world, feels suddenly stunned and stunted, far from everything. There is the heat falling evenly on the streets and houses; there is the single string of stores referred to, locally, as dry cleaner's; there is the beauty parlor and the stationery shop and the five-and-dime; there is the one-story stucco library, with its newspapers on wooden poles and its shelves of slumbering books. ...life, London, this moment of June. When you get down to it, this is a very good book. It has a great rhythm and the characters are portrayed amazingly. I thought the movie adaptation was also really impressive. Although, i don't know why they cast Jeff Daniels as Louis, the "beaky nose and pale, astonished eyes; the wiry brows; the neck powerfully veined under a broad, bony chin. He was meant to be a farmer, strong as a weed, ravaged by weather, and age has done in fifty years what plowing and harvesting would have in half the time." mother fucker should have looked like Anderson Cooper, not dumb or dumber. It's a good bedside read. Good summer read. It is just about as worthwhile as a bouquet of flowers, which is appropriate considering the subject matter. It is ephemeral but it is keen, vibrant and sophisticated. It is also immensely complex when you notice the fibers, the hairs on the stem, the pattern with which it was decorated, and by whom, and what does she think, and what does she do when she's not arranging flowers... on the other side is London, and all London implies about freedom, about kisses, about the possibilities of art and the sly dark glitter of a party is about to begin; death is the city below, which Mrs. Dalloway loves and fears and which she wants, in some way, to walk into so deeply she will never find her way back again.

Oh Imogen, what can I say...I was so excited about the fourth book coming out and couldn't wait to see how things were going to play out with Arizona/"A" and David/Kellan. I was really hoping that the two girls would get to meet and to escape together; there was so much they could have potentially done together and learned from each other. So, as you can imagine, I was kind of dissappointed that the last three books, which I have loved so much, lead up to this. It was short and, I'll be honest, I skimmed over some because, frankly, you can only get caught and "wandered" so many times before it starts getting old and I could really care less about Dan and Sophie, give me some more of the real characters. I understand that you have deadlines and you have a fantastic proof reading team and editing team! You have wonderful ideas and stories but I would much rather wait an extra 6 months to have a longer, more put together book that has more story line to it then get what I felt like was half a book with pieces of the story missing. If you wanted to put some meat in the story, what about the fight with Rowena and Simla? Or better yet, why in the world would Rupert's parents drop off the face of the Earth without worrying about anyone else after Rowena is killed? They've been protecting the kids this whole time and then, when the kids disappear, and someone is murdered in the room they go into hiding? Really? And Kellan wanting Arizona to remember was great at the beginning of the book but why not give some more resolution at the ending? Seriously, even though I feel like I should get half my money back since I only got half a book, I'll still be grabbing up the last book to see what happens. I only hope that Imogen will knock this one out of the park to make up for this book being so lackluster compared to the first three!

INVASION is a great first installment to a new science fantasy series, by Christian author Jon Lewis, that is sure to please readers of all ages. This fast paced action packed novel has it all; conspiracies, gateways to alien worlds, shapeshifters, robots, monsters, comic book heroes, flying motorcycles, jet packs, and of coarse teen angst. Although there is a ton of action, there's also plenty of meat, with a straightforward and strong story line and well formed characters, readers will have no trouble finding themselves captivated by this addictive sci-fi series. Protagonist surfer boy Colt McAllister, is a sympathetic and likable character, as his relatively normal teenage life is turned upside-down overnight. As if losing both of his parents in a suspicious car accident wasn't enough, he soon discovers that his favorite comic books were more fact then fiction and closer to home then he could have ever imagined. Colt along with childhood friend Dani and new found ally Oz, find themselves fighting for their lives, battling creatures of nightmares and conglomerate company Trident; who are conspiring to exterminate the human race in an attempt to take over earth. With the help of covert agency C.H.A.O.S (Central Headquarters Against the Occult and Supernatural), Colt and his friends attempted to uncover the truth behind his parents murder and expose the horrors of Trident Biotech. With its Men In Black/Fringe vibe, youthful cast, futuristic gadgets and government cover-ups; INVASION's exciting debut proves promising for Lewis and this new young adult series. Being won over from beginning to end, I eagerly await the next installment in the exciting C.H.A.O.S. series, due out in 2012. If you want to read a thoroughly entertaining book and captures your imagination INVASION is well worth reading. I received this book free from the publisher through NetGalley. These are my own thoughts and opinions.
