It took my a while to read this book – shame on me – but I finally got myself into reading it. Magic Bites is the first Kate Daniels book, set in an alternate Atlanta. Gosh, I fell in love with Kate and the worldbuilding. This review could take some time and it's going to be in English only – Although I read it in German and English (yes I did – Most of times I read the German novel, but when sentences seemed to be badly translated or very significant I switched to the English one). As I said, Magic Bites takes us into an alternate Universe. It's in the future, somehow, if I got it right.. But it doesn't really feel like that, because it's got a little bit of an apocalyptic feeling. (Like everything's a mess and you need to kill your dog to get something to eat.. No, kidding.) I don't fully comprehend the concept yet, but the world building is fantastic. The world's dominated by constant changes – And I'm talking about pregnant behaviour-constant not the choice of your favorite color. Basically in one instant technology dominates the world and in the next, magic takes over. Try tweeting then, buddy. The guys:There are werewolves and wolfweres, crazy worms (Buffy Season 7, yay!), vampires and many more. But unlike other Urban Fantasy novels, this one changes the rules. Vampire's aren't your nice, sexy boys next door. They're (..) - http://www.bookexhibitionism.de

One of my all time favorites. I wish she had written many more. I read it the first time when I was in school (let's not say when) and re-read it last year. It is a keeper

This book came highly recommended and positively reviewed by so many different readers, both offline and online. In the back of my mind, I knew there was a possibility that this would be one of those books that became popularized in the reading world for no real concrete reason. Thankfully, that wasn't the case with The Book Thief. Narrated by Death himself, you'd think this novel would be mostly depressing. Quite the opposite; it is life-affirming. As we walk with Liesel through her formative years we watch as she becomes wise beyond her time, thanks to her surroundings, choices, and circumstances. Living as a foster child in Germany during World War II, Liesel's life is enriched by her friends, neighbors, family, and is damaged irretrievably by enemies she didn't deserve. Although this is a fictional account, I feel that in many ways, Liesel's experiences are symbolical and utterly essential to learning about the inexplainable truths and disappointments that so many have had to face. As she makes her way through the terrors of war, Liesel conveys a heart of courage and thoughtfulness that many would have trouble displaying in peacetime. Throughout the novel, Liesel steals books. Sometimes from desperation, sometimes from anger, and sometimes just because they are there for the taking. But Liesel isn't a typical thief, not by any means. Books mean even more to Liesel than they do to most of us who consider ourselves bookworms. Her books are real, sacred connections to her past, present, and future. It's not often you find a novel that is written so simply yet so lyrically. The way the author used words, it was just amazing. Here are a few quotes: "It kills me sometimes, how people die." "Even the wrinkles around her eyes were joining hands." "Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day. That was the business of hiding a Jew." "She could see the light on Max's eggshell face and even taste the human flavor of his words." I can now officially join the multitude of people who hold this book and its deeply creative author in high esteem.

Loved the history it paints! Never knew there was so much going on in the Mediterranean involving Muslims, let alone that they were known as the Corsairs. Great book - and one of Dr. Umar's recommendations.

It's 2011 -- haven't we moved beyond dressing and and playing "indian", complete with feather headband, bows and arrows, and teepee? Come on!
An good read. Bronte is great at developing the emotions of the characters. The viewpoint of the housekeeper is a good for seeing everything that happens. The only drawback is that it is a romance, but otherwise great writing.

I was out walking Tilly a few years ago and an older man stopped to admire her. We got to talking about dogs and he suddenly asked if I liked Steinbeck. I admitted that I am a big fan and he said I should really read this book. Many years later I finally got around to it, and while it is not as much a story about a man and his dog as I had imagined, I really liked it. This is not fiction, it's a memoir of Steinbeck's travels across the country in 1960- with his poodle Charley- to attempt to reconnect with the American people. I found myself thinking that I'd love to spend a day hanging out with this guy- he's funny, smart and kind- a total character. And you get the feeling he's writing honestly about himself (but then again, who knows?). I found the snapshots of American life at the time very interesting. This is probably not the most interesting book if you don't already have an appreciation for Steinbeck's fiction. Then again, how can you not love 'East of Eden'? Easily one of my favorite books (you should read that, if you haven't, then read this).
After reading the buzz about this book in the lit blogs and beyond, I had high hopes... The story is actually very interesting, but somehow she has written it without emotion, without a compelling tone. Very spare, dispassionate writing that left me cold.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very well written. I could feel the sorrows & the joys experienced by Miss Bishop. She was a truly courageous woman. I look forward to reading more by this author.
