This was a tough one to sit down and read, mostly because of the sheer amount of material in it. Take one page of a David Richo book and you can come up with 8-10 different paths you could investigate further.

Yay for guilty-pleasure sequels. Once again pretentiously edgy-gothic but nevertheless amusing and occasionally endearing. Pretty fairy-creatures and violence and foul-mouthed clever (and angsty) young people and lots of scheming and wry-joking and "unexpected" twists (which are strikingly similar to the "twists" in Tithe)...it's amusing even when it's not trying to be. I really can't see the point of reading "book 2," since this book pretty much takes place right after Tithe and even has little refreshers as to what happened in that book. But hey, maybe I'll read book 2 one day for a good ol' dose of preteen fantasy.

What to say about this unfortunate second volume in a dreadful trilogy? Where can I even start? Well, some fanboy history is in order. The Forgotten Realms (FR) has always been a favorite setting for a lot of dungeon gaming, and even more popular for its series of stories set in its deep and populated world. The collaborative nature of this universe makes for some disjointed storytelling but makes room for quite a bit of character building and adventure. I came across FR mostly in two phases: first as an adolescent reader of the adventures of Drizzt Do'Urden in Icewind Dale (still a classic trilogy in my heart) then as an older teenage gamer, playing the PC versions of Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate. In between those phases, somewhere, I came across the Avatar trilogy and the portentous events it chronicled regarding the Time of Troubles. For those uninitiated, this was a epic shaping event in the history of the Realms that resulted in the overthrow of the existing pantheon of gods and realignment of many major religions. The Avatar trilogy delves into the stories of four adventurers who play a fundamental role in this crisis. In other FR books you know that the Gods are immortal, unapproachable, distant powers. In this trilogy they are made mortal as punishment for the theft of two Tablets of Fate from the Overgod, Ao. Our heroes, consisting of a barbarian, a thief, a mage and a cleric (as cliched a collection of adventurers as possible) find themselves in the middle of this disaster, and come across other major characters in the FR firmament, including Elminster of Shadowdale. The first book was a bit painful to get through. A lot of the "characterization" was ghastly, and the motivations of our protagonists were shaky at best. It was hard to like any of them but you read on for the sake of the story. It was at least a captivating tale, right? However, in this book, all of these bums lose our sympathy completely. Their motivations change, and their behaviors veer wildly from one extreme to another. Physical changes (such as an unfortunate scar) manifest in dark, unbelievable personality changes. Cyric the thief transforms from an uneasy but harmless mercenary in the first volume to a rabid chaotic evildoer, stabbing everyone he comes across. Seriously, late in the book he even stabs a poor messenger boy and dumps him in the bay for no other reason than "his usefulness is at an end." Yikes. Not a pleasant group of heroes, this lot. I am sure that in the campaign setting, the tabletop adventurers would take a more consistent path to the conclusion. But for this group, the story was told in jumps and leaps, with long phases of little action in between. If there was ever a book meant to be skimmed, it is this one. Now, here is my dilemma: through questionable reasoning flavored by numerous cocktails at the hotel bar, I acquired all the books in this series from the second hand bin at a nearby bookstore. The last volume sits on my shelf waiting for its pages to be turned and creases to be made. Do I dare to open it? Is it possible to get less than one star? Will I ever finish it? Questions for another day...

This book gives basic information about the rivers, how they formed, and about the environment in and around them. Good book for a beginner reader because it uses very simple words and bigger print.
Jake got this for his birthday & we are all amazed at it. I am reading with Tom, Jake is way ahead of us! I finally had to go ahead and finish the book since Jacob already did. It was awesome! I really loved the story and the design and the pictures! Very fun.

My most favorite Gaiman book. I read it before I visited London, and believe me, I NEVER failed to Mind the Gap.

Somewhat entertaining, but I felt like I had already read several books with the same plot back when I was in high school or college.

It was hard for me to put this down. I can't imagine a better story about our likely future as a society. Granted, it may not paint a world as strangely distant and larger than life as A Canticle for Leibowitz, and it is most definitely not all artsy-fartsy-pomo like The Road. That kind of thing is what does it for some, I suppose. Kunstler just tells a real story, and he does that as well as anyone. This is not the first book of its kind either, but it is most definitely in another class than Earth Abides and Ecotopia, two earlier failed attempts at post-apocalyptic and desired possible futures, respectively. It falls somewhere in between those extremes and has a comparatively clear range of plausible scenarios to work with, which is why it comes to life so easily. Kunstler is a natural writer who can combine wit with insight in a way I find irresistible, even when I disagree with some of his assumptions.

I had read the second one in grade school, it was really cool to go back and see where everything came from to begin with.
