The ending was a little disappointing but it was a fun ride. I am having so much fun reading this series. It is not a mind challenging read but it's fun.

Before Zelazny got embedded in amber lucre, he wrote some very imaginative fiction. This is one of them. A recommended read encompassing the mafia, clones and a controlled, dispersed humanity.

I read Persuasion, not Mansfield Park. Loved it! I liked Anne Elliot almost as much as Elizabeth Bennet's character.

I didn't like this one as much as the other one...Fire Bringer was a good 'un...But this was actually quite good. I considered crying at the end. I didn't cry, but I considered it. I hope I didn't ruin anything there by saying that. The book is good and long. Not something you should rush through. You should read it all leisurely-like. On a Tuesd'y.

LOVED this book. Lots of applicable examples to issues in my life. Very well-written, explanatory, easy-to-follow, and full of resources. Would recommend this to everyone. Love the focus on simple solutions and how we tend to get too bogged down in over-analyzing things or not feeling motivated enough to change something.

"There are my 'Poe' pieces and my 'Dunsany pieces' – but alas – where are any Lovecraft pieces?" -H.P. Lovecraft, 1929 What really makes Lovecraft interesting is the degree to which he was a student of the Horror genre. As his influential essay Supernatural Horror in Literature shows, Lovecraft was a voracious reader who went far afield in his search for interesting Horror authors. If Lovecraft hadn't been such an odd recluse, and instead pursued an academic career, we might not have had to wait a century for scholar S.T. Joshi to drag the genre into the sphere of literary criticism. Due to his vast knowledge, Lovecraft was able to pick through influences and styles when he wrote his stories, but instead of synthesizing all of those disparate inspirations into a new vision of his own, Lovecraft was more likely to work in bits and pieces, creating recognizable, sometimes formulaic story types in which we can easily trace the ideas he drew from Dunsany, Blackwood, Hodgson, Chambers, or Bierce. Beyond that, his style was not always engaging, relying as he did on rather purple prose and extended explanations of his characters' innermost thoughts, instead of letting the actions and subtle cues speak for themselves. As such, his stories tended to lack the power and poetry of the great Horror authors who influenced him, but Lovecraft was such a prolific author, and so invested in his genre on a conceptual level that he did create a number of classics. He also had a considerable influence on other writers through the vast correspondence which he kept up throughout his whole life with lasting, notable authors such as R.E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Derleth, Clarke Ashton Smith, and numerous others, not only introducing them to the many ideas and authors Lovecraft had collected, but opening himself up to the thoughts and experiences of all those young, up-and-coming authors. Then there is the lasting effect of the 'Mythos' (sometimes called the 'Cthulhu Mythos'), that interconnected set of ideas and approaches that became a sort of 'shared world' for other authors to explore--whit are still being explored in an unabated string of short-story collections published every year despite the fact that all the stories in them tend to be terrible. But the Mythos was not quite Lovecraft's original invention, it was instead an attempt to take the worlds of the previous great Horror authors and combine them into one grand setting. Probably the most unique aspect of Lovecraft's work was his combination of the chilling, aloof alienness of Dunsany's elves with the otherworldly, interdimensional terrors explored by Hodgson to produce that characteristic 'Cosmic Horror' which, while not invented by Lovecraft, was brought to a higher lustre in his works. Though the Lovecraft stories that I find most interesting are not his 'Poe pieces', his straight Horror works--which should not be surprising, since I'm not especially fond of Poe--but his Dunsany-inspired Fantasies, such as The Silver Key and several other entries in his Dream Cycle, which tend to be rather less formulaic recreations of the styles and forms of earlier authors, than explorations of the mind, and of possibility. Beyond that, Lovecraft's very deliberate, thoughtful style seems to work better in a world of waking dreams than one of world-hopping adventure and monster attacks. However, in the end, I would suggest that the most lasting effect of Lovecraft's work was born in his intense dislike of seafood, which gave his monsters and beasties their shapes, and proved a much more effective choice than Hodgson's odd distaste for pig. Indeed, Lovecraft's disgust must surely rank among the most influential gustatory preferences in the history of literature.

I was in a concentration camp along with Elie and his father. It was an experience being placed into this horrific scene by Elie Wiesel. I finished this book on April 11th which was the date Elie and others were liberated from the nazi's at Buchenwald. It is said that from every terrible event there is something positive. I searched to find the answer to this question of all time. What might this be? Once again Israel was given back to the Jewish people. Did you know that Alaska and Baja Mexico were just a few other locations thought to place the Holocaust survivors. We must never forget what happened to the Jews and not allow this to happen to anyone else in the world including those in Darfur.
