I really loved this book, it is actually the first part of a trilogy. After the third one, I cried. I find that lots of different kinds of people have liked this book. I think to this day, it is still my favorite. I've read it proobably about 10 times. It is a young adult book, but there are some very awesome ideas about the after life and religion and such. Its very touching and if they ever make it into a movie I claim the partr of 'Shari'.

I originally rated this book five stars because it moved me to tears. Then I saw a couple of documentaries about Koko. It turns out that Dr. Francine "Penny" Patterson is an incompetent psychopath who doesn't know the first thing about primatology. She says things like, "I don't care what the critics say. I'm not 'humanizing' Koko, I'm peopleizing her." She also slaps a very young Koko in the face when she "misbehaves" (ie, acts like a gorilla and plays rough with Michael, another gorilla). Even the way she teaches her sign language is insane. You can't sign "water" while saying the word "water" and expect a gorilla to understand what that means. You need to model water for them in some way, show them water, give them water to drink, etc. Also, Dr. Penny claims that since Koko's fingers can't make the same signs as people's, Koko doesn't do ASL, she does "GSL" (Gorilla sign language). What this actually means is Dr. Penny has total control of what Koko is saying, since she interprets it all herself. When Koko signs "pink," Dr. Penny claims that is the gorilla way of expressing shame. When Michael signs "black," then signs "red," Dr. Penny explains that he is telling of how black men (Africans) killed his family. I have no doubt that Koko, Michael, and Ndume (the gorillas Dr. Penny "studied") are sensitive, intelligent creatures. However, the idea that they can communicate using sign language in a perfectly human, one-for-one speech relationship is insane. But Dr. Penny doesn't seem to realize that, or seem to realize that there might be any differences between gorillas and humans. Which is perhaps not surprising, since she has a degree in developmental psychology, not primatology. She treats Koko like the daughter she never had, and in the creepiest ways. For instance, she raises Koko and Michael to eventually be lovers and mate. When she learns (or intuits) that two gorillas raised together regard each other as brother and sister, and mating is not going to happen, she gets Koko involved with video dating and has Koko sign, based only on looking at male gorilla images on a TV, whether or not she likes the guy. Really? Don't gorillas react to ... I don't know ... scent, or personal interaction? Well, apparently they do, because Koko's potential mate Ndume and she haven't been hitting it off either. Oh, and why did she start video dating? Because when Dr. Penny was in her early 40s, Koko "signed to her that she wanted a baby." Really, Dr. Penny? Really?

This book is the perfect financial book for those of us who are, well, "Young, Fabulous, and Broke" as the title says. Sensible advice, in a way that doesn't talk down to the reader. Really its good for anyone who needs straightforward advice about finances and perhaps doesn't have a clue what a Roth IRA is vs any other IRA, or even more possibly has no idea what any sort of IRA is, at all. Most repeated advice? Know your FICO score. (And if you don't know what that is....read this book!)

I just finished re-reading this book for about the fifth time. I love Victoria Holt! As in many of her books, the heroine is not a beauty, but spirited. She has to pick among three potential husbands, and, of course, picks the most exciting one!

This is the first full-length novel by the author I've read. I've been meaning to read other books by Asaro, and have read stories by her and have loved them but for some reason, this is the first book of her's I've picked up. The beginning was a bit slow, but I think that was because I had read "Moonglow" in Charmed Destinies which was basically retelling the first part of the book from different perspectives. I was interesting, though, to see that Chime had a different side than that presented in "Moonglow", when she was seen through the eyes of Iris. The plot was fast-paced enough to keep me reading and learning about this very different form of magic was intriguing. I hope Asaro returns to this world in the future. If the first two books of the LUNA line are any indication, Harlequin Books might have a winner on their hands, provided they start marketing these better.

Ms. Pershall refers first to her anorexia and bulimia and later to the other manifestations of her mental illness as "the bad dog". There is a bad dog nipping at the heels of someone I love, and this book provided me with invaluable insight and perception. Thank you, Stacy Pershall. In this book Ms. Pershall describes in beautiful and heart-wrenching detail her struggles with various mental illnesses and how she learned to live with them. She is not cured - but she found a way to be a (mostly) happy and productive and contributing member of society. I wish her continued good health and huge love. I hope that her raw honesty is a step in the direction of eliminating at least some of the stigma generally still attached to mental illness by a society that should know better.
