A ficitonalization of selected scenes from the life of Henry James, this book works in part only. It emphasizes Henry James's inability to become passionately involved in any aspect of his own life. It seemed to me his largest thrill came when he laid down his pen due to severe cramping in his hand and began dictating his prose; he became worried of criticism that he had given in to the industrialization of the age. He felt great empathy at the wounding of his brother Wilkie in the Civil War, but that and a visit to a hospital was the extent of his involvement. An early homoerotic episode (but only slightly so) with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. betrays the most romantic passion he feels about anyone. Individually these scenes work well, and they add up to the entire feeling that James did not live the full life he wanted to, and that he wrote into the desire of his characters, themselves stifled in their upper class parlors and gardens. All in all, it's a good read, if a slow one that makes the reader scratch their head a lot as to where its going.

Wow. I could not stop reading when I got to the last third of this book. The character development of the first two books really made this third one a raw emotional experience. The way everything is described is so realistic... fighting isn't glorified; it's horrible, gut wrenching, and animalistic. Feelings and emotions are intense. This book was like a bucket of cold water taking me away from fantasy and into a realistic memoir from another world. I've only given 5 stars to Robert Jordan and Rowling when it comes to fiction, but this one was very well deserved. Highly recommended.

It's like a bloody, evil Bible or something...amazing. This is one for the desert island.

I liked the detailing of the archetypes, but then was disappointed when I could not apply the archetypes to any of the characters in the books I've written. So, I'm not putting too much stock into forcing each of my heroes/heroines into these 16 archetypes as they don't really "fit." It was a good exercise, though.
If you've ever been frustrated at any fairy tale heroine for sitting around waiting to be rescued, this is the story for you. In this retelling, the fairy tale turns into a western, with Rapunzel running around on horseback, using her long hair as escape ladders, lassos, whips, or ropes that she uses to defeat her opponents and get revenge on the evil witch who stole her from her family and oppresses the countryside. (And they use the word "shindig." Who can resist shindigs?) Quite a cute, unique retelling of Rapunzel's fairy tale story. Not particularly young adult - a slightly younger audience than that, but hilarious nonetheless.

Twelve-year-old Janey, her parents, and her four-year-old brother Michael have left their home in Kansas to live on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It's December 1941, and Janey's father, a welder, has been hired by the military to work at Hickman Airfield, near Pearl Harbor. Janey loves the beauty of her new home, but she is terrified by the threat of war between the United States and Japan, which could lead to an invasion of Hawaii. On the peaceful Sunday morning of December 7, without warning, Japanese planes attack. Janey and her mother and brother are separated from her father. They are forced to evacuate their home, but Janey is determined to return - because she knows in her heart that her father can't be dead, and that she will see him again. This was an excellent new book in the American Diaries series that captured the terror of the day Pearl Harbor was attacked, as faced by the many civilian families living on the island.

I can't remember this book. I read this book a long time ago and do not really remember it. I don’t know what else to say about it besides that I recommend it to kids 9 and up (Maybe older depends on the kid) and that everyone should read it. I may not remember this book to well but I know I did enjoy reading it.

I must read for for kids at 12! It changed my sons life and in turn reading it myself really made me think differently about many different things! Again Card delivers a thought provoking piece of literature!
I read this book several years ago. It is now the Vermont Reads book for this year. The time is WWII and the protagonists are a Japanese American family. The story is told from three points of view, first the mother's, as they prepare to go to the concentration camp, then the 11 year old daughter, and then the younger brother. The father is imprisoned as an enemy of the state. The descriptions of their preparations, of their time in the camp, and of their return home are bleak and stark and told without emotion. Julie Otsuka has drawn on the real life experiences of her relatives to tell the story. This book is written at a YA level, but is also suitable for adults.
