Widely considered to be the ultimate compendium for Grateful Dead history, Dennis McNally’s A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead is an extremely dense book. It has taken me a long time to finish it, but it was extremely well-written and contained a lot of information that I did not know prior to picking it up. The book follows the Grateful Dead from their 1965 gig at Magoo’s Pizza in Menlo Park, CA to Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. McNally was the official band historian beginning in 1980. There’s a lot to be found in this book, from musical trivia and lyrics, feuds between the band members and crew, a sense of what being a Dead Head is all about, etc. It is essentially an encyclopedia for the Dead. The book is presented mostly in chapter format, with an occasional “Interlude” thrown in. These Interludes do a good job of breaking up the flow of time for the reader, making it easy to read such a long book. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to read, but at times it felt like information overload - I mean, I love the Dead but I don’t need to know absolutely everything! But the good side of this is that if you want to know anything about the Dead, you can probably find it inside. Published in 2003, the book doesn’t have any information on The Dead’s reunification in 2009 (which I was fortunate to witness firsthand) or the musical developments of Phil Lesh and Friends, RatDog and The Other Ones in the mid-200s. But that’s to be expected, and considering this book is about the Grateful Dead, and not the side projects that happened after Garcia passed, there really isn’t anything missing. 4/5 Stars. 684 pages. Published 2003.

WOW. That was literally the only word going through my usually busy head after finishing this book. I expected it to be good, but this was just... wow! The Iron Fey series is literally my favourite set of faery-oriented novels ever. In every single book, (the mind-blowing) Julie Kagawa manages to expand on extremely lovable characters, put them through heart-wrenching trials, and write descriptions that play like a movie in your mind. Everything she puts down in her beautiful writing style is so easy to imagine! After the heartbreaking end of the third book in this series, The Iron Queen, I couldn't help but squeal when I found out that there was going to be a fourth book — in Ash's point of view! If you ever thought you loved this amazing Winter prince before, get ready to fall all over again. Many female writers have trouble writing in a guy's point of view, but not Julie Kagawa! Everything about Ash and his interpretation was just flawless! Full of twists and turns that you don't expect, and following a team of returning characters that you can't help but adore, The Iron Knight is the perfect ending to an amazing series. Definitely one of my favourites! BUY or BORROW?: Are you kidding me? Buy it, of course! In fact, while you're at it, buy the whole darn series! If you haven't started reading The Iron Fey books yet, I wholeheartedly recommend that you do so now! ARC was provided by the publisher for an honest review.

I like Isabel Allende: I think she's fiesty, funny and a very eloquent when I heard that she hadn't written a book about sustainability issues, I was very excited. However, I admit that I read this book because it was recommended to me by a friend who described it as 'unputdownable'. I disagree. The language was far simpler than you would expect from an Allende novel but as the book is aimed at teenager readers this is not unexpected. You would expect the story, however, to be gripping and well developed. For me this was where the book was lacking. We follow the somewhat nerdy Alexander (a naive 15 year old flute player with anger management issues... do all children nowadays have anger management issues?) as he accompanies his grandmother (a famous social anthropologist) on an exhibition to the Amazon. Once there he encounters all kinds of adventures with 'the people of the mist': an indigenous tribe. I must admit I didn't follow a lot of what was going on (partly because I wasnt paying attention). I couldn't work out where all the mythical things fitted in with the plot. This might have been an excellent use of symbolism by Allende of modern societies inability to fully understand the lives of other cultures. Something tells me it probably wasn't. Too much time was spent on Alexander's personal journey and the last 50 pages (of a 400 page book) was where Allende packs in all of her critiques of modern society. It felt like a checklist. It was too much. I am loathe to slate the book- I was not it's audience- and perhaps 12 year olds love it. I'm not sure they would understand the subtlety of Allende's critique but perhaps I am underestimating the average 12 year old. One thing is for certain, it's no Harry Potter.
