It was interesting to read so many caricatures of maternal figures. I felt like the author was enjoying doing a series of sketches, but Astrid bound them together into a wonderful novel. Male characters were static, but that didn't bother me much; they were just not the focus.

Owh, i always love the sci-fi book. And i loved this one too. Overall, one thing i cant stand is 'sarah', nothing wrong with her charachter, but i just dont get it in the story.
Another gorgeous book by Winterson - unusual in that the narrator is never named or identified by gender. The narrator falls in love with a married woman who is dying; it's a beautiful meditation on the nature of love.
After struggeling to accept the fact that Jace and Clary are brother and sister, I found myself, hesitating to turn each page. But after the initial shock, I resumbed to read just as thirstily as before. I found that this one in the series, had the biggest growth, Clary seems to become accepted into the world more freely. The book endures some huge changes. **SPOILERS** For example, Simon, changing into a vampire - that was the biggest one of me. My favourite part of the whole book, and possibly most inspiration piece of writting I read of the three books, was in here. The faery kindom part. The trickery of Clary licking the juices off her fingers, not realising that she has been trapped. And her onnly means of escape, is a kiss..."The fay will find the thing you most desire, and with a sting of a tail, you'd wished you never thought of it." Crushing Simon as he kisses her, and she is still not free. "She needs the kiss she desires most." And although I found the queen evil, I silently thanked her as I turned the page, hoping for another kiss between Jace and Clary - I wasn't disapointed. "It doesn't mean anything" - Jace says, but it's clear that's not true - and I think he was trying to convince himsself. The other part I find really brillaint is the part where Jace is locked in the runed prison, and he has to fly (leap) out of it, and I pray and pray, each time I read it, that he makes it - even though I know he must. The battle of the book, is brilliant. It's very agonising to read though, I was terrified that a charcater should die, Alec, or Simon, Isabelle, Mia or Clary - and I struggle to think the last name, Jace. It is clear that things are not all they seem between the siblings, both have special abbilities. All is not as it seems when Jace's life is saved, by the Inquisistor - who 'supposedly' hate him - the last words she says to him are "Your father would be proud of you" - which was a huge piece of a twisted jigsaw. All I can say is that by the end of the book I was heaving from excitment for the next intallment.
I think this could have been good. It intrigued me but then it was over. I think how the characters met could of worked in a much longer book and gone off from there but it just ends...it would be interesting if the author did just that. I would probably read it because like I said it is interesting and even a little comical.

Velva Jean Hart is tired of small town living, including a husband who is part preacher and part moonshiner. She'd been told she had a wonderful voice and a record producer actually made a record of one of her "Yellow Truck..." songs, telling her to look him up if she ever got to Nashville, Tennessee from rural Appalachia in Alluvia, North Carolina. So she sang every song she knew as she left her home all the way to the point in Tennessee where she got a flat tire. But Velva Jean is a spunky gal and managed to conquer this problem, find a place to live, and make a friend who would help until Velva Jean finally found a job. Even after those difficult challenges, in which she bore rejection after rejection, she still managed to find a place where people could enjoy her voice and zesty personality! But a record contract did not loom, especially after she was told she needed years of music experience before she'd be ready for recording. She didn't care - she just kept writing song after song after song! Life, however, changed dramatically with the breakout of WWII, and Velva Jean's brother, Johny Clay, introduces her to a flying lesson that changes her passion forever. She goes on to become a female pilot and joins a select group of women flyers carrying out secret but no less dangerous missions within America. Here the story mixes her increasing love of flying, desire to do more for the war effort, and the horror she experiences as tragedy after tragedy happen to those she loves and others she doesn't know. Some die by attack but some are killed because of human mistakes; the latter are just as devastating and Velva Jean is responsible for bringing it to the attention of those who should be doing something about it. There is much more day-by-day description of what an amazing woman Velva Jean and other women flyers like her become. It's a quick, shocking way to grow up but this plot is filled with humor and persistent dedication, the essence of Velva Jean's personality. This novel has some very slow parts but does evolve into a funny, interesting and wonderful historical fiction piece that elevates the place of women in a time when they were expected to stay home and sew for the war effort. It includes as well the respect these women flyers known as the WAFS or Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron. Jennifer has depicted a slice of life in the war that few Americans know about, and Velva Jean Hart is an unforgettable, spunky gal who stands for the best women contributing to the war effort at that time! Nicely done, Ms. Niven!

Boy and penguin are tightly united in friendship (as fans of "Lost and Found" may attest). One day, penguin decides that he wants to fly and takes off on a solo adventure. Jeffers has scored another hit with this duo and their endearing story of friendship. Will the boy come to rescue or is the penguin rightly terrifed that he's lost his friend forever?
This is the book I would give to my very youngest kids to introduce them to the Holocaust without terrifying them. The details are sparse, but encourage discussion; the characters are thoughtful and brave. In addition, since my kids are part Danish, I want them to know about the beautiful story of the rescue of nearly every Jew in Denmark.
I really wanted to like this, considering that I was lucky enough to win it in a Goodreads giveaway. So I tried really hard. The introduction struck me as wordy and somewhat puerile, and I'm afraid the rest of the book is no better. If it could be said in ten words, here fifty are used. It's poorly written and desperately in need of a strong editor. There may be a decent story in there somewhere but it would take a pickaxe to unearth it. I'm so sorry to write such a brutal review, but this was seriously stinko.
