I am attempting to read as much as I can about Hearst so that I am able to argue with the tour guides at Hearst Castle about why he wasn't really all that great a guy. The first book I read, The Chief, focused on the man himself, and it was written fairly recently. This book, on the other hand, was published in 1981, and it focuses on the Hearst empire after WR died. Informative, but lacks the glamour of WR's life. And, as with any book on the Hearsts, the authors were not completely objective, so it must be read with that in mind.

The "Study" books pulled me in. I'm sure this new series will keep me addicted. I loved Storm Glass and was able to fly thru it. Can't wait to read the rest.

For perspective, I was reading this book from the position of a non-outdoors person. I like to hike and camp, but at an incredibly non-technical level. The first half of the book dragged for me because I had a hard time keeping up with and maintaining interest in his various mountaineering exploits. His view on life is not one that I share-I am not a daredevil, I don't seek out situations that are inherently dangerous for the thrill or the adrenaline. I am not "what I do". The second half of the book picked up for me as he was getting closer to self amputation and the search and rescue effort began in earnest. Reading about his hallucinations and out of body experiences was really interesting to me-I am fascinated by the idea that you can bridge two worlds. I admire his resilience, his ingenuity, creativity and ultimate perseverance. I did feel like he didn't really learn anything though, from his time in the canyon-his convalescence was so hard on him, based on his past life of action, that he had a hard time coping with just needing to heal, but I would have thought that his perspective and his own view of his self worth and value outside of his actions would have shifted a little. But what he did is remarkable, resourceful and inspirational. I don't know how many people could have done what he did, but his prior experiences helped him to cope, and his background as an engineer gave him an advantage others wouldn't have had. I was inspired by him, and questioned by own spiritual and psychological state-could I do what he did? Would I think of everything he thought of? Would I be able to do anything in the name of survival? I hope so, but I also hope I never find out!

Loves a Brat. what more can I say? as soon as you realize that life should get better.
This book is a book of substance. There is love, excitement, danger, and all the things that make books amazing, but I don't feel that the book is just about any one of those things. It's a life book, depicting the two main characters in crucial times in their lives. Are they falling for each other? Yes. Is the book only about that? No. It's definitely about a whole lot more. The characterization and gradual release of the plot does a lot to make this book feel so realistic, like the characters are actually living and breathing entities you might actually meet could you go to their island. Even the mythology of the water horses is so deftly and simply drawn that I had to Google cappail uisce to make sure that I hadn't missed some strange breed of horse that actually does exist (to save you the time - it really is mythological. I don't feel stupid or anything...). I love the way the characters are revealed gradually. How we come to know what really matters to Sean Kendrick, how we see Puck gathering her courage to do what she has to for the family. The way the two lives begin to intersect because of the Scorpio races is just beautiful. It's very subtle, the way they start to feel for each other, and in that way it's very real. When Sean can only buy Corr, the horse he loves like a family member, from his boss if he wins the races and Puck can only keep her house from being foreclosed on if she wins the races, the stakes in the book are raised so high. Throughout the whole ending I was preparing to be heartbroken in one way or another. I won't give that away. But I will say that, to me, the ending was just perfect. It's the sort of ending that's my favorite!

A great view of an early era of the Pelourinho and its people. Lush writing, magical realism woven around real-world events and people.
This story was wonderful and you knew there would probably be another to follow.... They may be long, but I couldn't put them down and one week later was finished with it. And was looking for the next one.......
Sometimes the second volume in a trilogy seems to lack in comparison to its first and third counterparts... but this is NOT the case for Kushiel's Chosen. Love is tested even beyond the extremes of Kushiel's Dart, and we find that Love almost conquers all. This is where Phèdre and her comrades find a strength they never guessed they could possess.

The novel Sula, is a very unique and complex story. There are multiple life lessons in this book that one can take to better or analyze his or her life. Sula intrested me because of the authors way of writing. The stories told within Sula may sometimes be seen as a bit odd but in the end, there was always a lesson to it or main point. Sula is the main character of the book, and the one that intrigued me the most. Throughout the book Sula's faces alot of issues and problems in her life, she shows the reality of people and their true feelings, and of how one should care and love themselves.Sula may have taken many risks, and may have done things that others may consider heartless or without moral, but Sula always had a reason within eveything that she did, but the world was not aware of that, this was one of her best and worse qualities. Though she considers herself a good person most people around her seemed to think other wise, everyone but her friend Nel. I would recommend Sula to everyone because novel has yet to be one of the most interesting novels i have read. It will take you on a journey, and challenge you to think in a higher level, for everything is not as they appear, Sula was a great example of just that.
