No one can pry a frightened Jake away from his parents on the first day of school, and so the three must watch as his classmates have fun until, at the end of the day, his teacher finally gets him to let go. www.hcpl.net
The characters are unforgettable - strange, but unforgettable - it might take you awhile to get through the book, however it really makes you feel like you live in Russia in the turn of the century. The amount of detail is amazing, but not overwhelming--definitely a recommendation!

Vonnegut takes the reader through an emotional space-coaster ride as he convinces us life is full of good and bad luck, life is meaningless, God is indifferent, we are pawns in mundane tasks for other worlds, and finally, the reason that we are all here (I won't give it away, though). He was able to create characters that we sympathized with while we disliked them. In fact, I don't think there is anyone in this book you will outrightly like. But the closest you will come is feeling very sorry for Chrono and even a little bit for Salo, both products and agents in the universe's utilitarian design. My favorite part of reading this book was trying to identify religious allegories and criticisms. Here's what I can remember off the top of my head: -Even though Rumfoord blatantly says he is not God or in any way related to God, his "prophecies" reek of pre-destination, and his exile of Constant/Unk and Beatrice/Bee seem pretty parallel to Adam and Eve. And hell if Titan doesn't seem a lot like the Garden of Eden. Oh, and chrono-synclastic infundibulation also seems a lot like omniscience. -Simultaneously, Rumfoord is a charactiture of enterprising Evangelists -The Martian War reminds me of two religious stories: Sacrifice of life for the life of others (Jesus), and eradication of a planet to create a better planet afterward (the Flood) -When Constant/Unk reuinites (at least in his mind) with Stony Stevenson on his way to Paradise and looks forward to reuniting with Bee, this is clearly an indication of an afterlife.

Lynsay Sands gives us another wonderful story about the vampires she created. And as always, her sense of humor shines through as she manages to match another one with a lifemate. I enjoy Lynsay’s books because of the unique storyline behind her vampires. These are not undead monsters; rather, they come from a superior civilization that disappeared when Atlantis sank. The vampirism is caused by something they call nanos – microscopic particles invented thousands of years ago to help a person’s body heal on its own. The nanos were injected into the bloodstream, using the blood for fuel to perform their task. But we all know that sunlight damages the skin, right? Right. So the nanos’ job was never done, they were constantly repairing damage. This took a great deal of blood, and eventually, the survivors of Atlantis developed fangs so they would be able to survive on their own. The idiosyncrasies of the individual vampires provide hilarity as they journey to find their true love, their lifemate. In this particular book, Cale’s journey is detailed and we follow him from being a stuffy old stick-in-the-mud to rediscovering life with Alexandra. He’s comical as he resists any attempt to be paired up, and his well-meaning friends only serve to get him in over his head by volunteering his services as a chef….knowing full well he hasn’t touched or eaten food in thousands of years. Another light, fun-to-read book, as usual.

I read 'Red is for Remembrance'. This is the fourth and final book in the 'Blue is for Nightmares' series by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I thought this book was excellent. It rolled humor, mystery, suspense, and some action all into one book. Stacey Brown, the main character, is having weird dreams again. She is accepted into a prestigious college with a full scholarship, and with her below average grades, she wasn’t quite sure why. But, she soon finds out that the president of the college’s daughter is also having nightmares, and with all the publicity Stacey got for saving her other dream victims, the president knew just who to call. He asked Stacey to help Porsha, his daughter, figure out her dreams and understand what was happening. Stacey realizes that she has to help Porsha in order to get over her soul-mate going missing. If she ever wants to close the chapter on Jacob, she must understand Porsha’s dreams, and her own. I would classify this book as contemporary fiction. It was oddly written though. It told two stories that were somehow connected. Stolarz’s writing was exquisite and very detailed. It also had some magic aspects which I thought were interesting to learn about. I would recommend this to anyone who read the other books and liked them. I suggest reading the first three books to learn about Stacey’s nightmares and to get a better idea of the main/supporting characters and their relationships. But, mainly girls would like this. It isn’t exactly gender specific, but I’m not sure boys would be interested in these books. I could hardly put this book down once the plot started to thicken and I highly suggest reading it.
My friend Courtney met Jennifer's father while on vacation and learned about this book, and she in turn told me about it, and I'm so glad she did! What a great story about her first thru-hike on the AT. Her determination and maturity at an age when I know many, including myself, were worried about so many other trivial things in life is astounding. I truly believe and understand how she felt drawn to the AT and how she just *knew* it was what she was supposed to do, I have felt that way about many things in my life. I also enjoyed her discussions she had with herself on the AT, I have had many of them too over the years. Thinking about my faith, wondering what I would do if I had been born during other parts of history such as civil rights era, etc. I wonder those things too, would I have been strong enough to be a part of change? I am not a hiker at all, but I am interested in trying to have some of those same experiences after reading this book. She is a hero for sure!
