One of the best from the Discworld serie, that's for sure! It was so funny! Great characters and everything. Yes, I do love witches dearly. The way they think and talk and act toward the world is hilarious. I also love all those references mentioned in this book (even on Lord of the Rings!).
Wonderful, different book.

From the backcover…Every girl who has taken the test has died. Now it's Kate's turn. It's always been just Kate and her mom--and now her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall. Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld--and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests. Kate is sure he's crazy--until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess. If she fails... My thoughts…What a great book! Very different from anything else that I have read or have on my ‘to be read’ list so it was a nice change in from my normal paranormal reads. Very refreshing to read—a Greek Myth, with a twist. I felt drawn to Kate right away. For the last four year Kate has taken care of her sick mother who has cancer. Kate’s mother seems ready to let go of all her pain and die, but she is holding on for Kate’s sake. She wants Kate to be ready when she dies, she wants to make sure Kate will be okay but after 4 years of the illness Kate is still having a hard time facing the truth of what is to come. Enter Henry aka Hades. Henry has had 100 years to find a girl that will take the 7 tests and pass them all. If he is unable to do this then he will cease to exist and his successor will take over ruling the Under World. Henry has all but given up but will try one last time…. After a horrible accident happened to a classmate while Kate was with her, Henry offers to bring her classmate back to life if Kate accepts his bargain. Kate agrees without even finding out what she has really agreed to which is to go to Henry’s house/world/dimension and take 7 tests. If she passes she will be Henry’s bride and a goddess. If she fails she will go back to life as she knew it and will not remember Henry or anything that happened while with Henry and Henry, he will cease to exist. But so far every girl who has taken the test has been murdered, no failing the test, no going back to life as they know it, but gone for good. Henry’s character is a little harder to figure out. I never really understand how he feels about Kate. At times I feel like he is falling for her and other times I feel like he could care less about her. I get that he is tired of the girls getting murder, that he wants it to stop, that he feel guilty, that it is his fault but I feel that he could of done more to stop or prevent or figure out who was doing the crime. Even though most of the story happens at Henry’s house, I love it, it is somewhere I would love to visit, mingle with the different people--- stay a couple of days and explore. Almost every character is connected to person of Greek Mythology and it was interesting trying to figure out who was which Greek God. The book kept you guessing right to the end. I would recommend this book to those of you who are into YA/paranormal who want a book that is a little different than the current best sellers.

The body was discovered on page 9. Now, that's my kind of mystery! This one was very entertaining and humorous at times.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was different from the books I ussually read so it was a nice change. In the book are six different mysteries that all happen to two characters known as Alvirah and Willy Meehan. They win the lottery and use that money to dream big and do the things they always wanted to but never could afford,including Alvirah becoming a detective. Sure enough she picked a good job because trouble certainly seemed to start following her...

I thought this book was very easy to read and very very heart felt. I do not think (like others suggest) that she was complaining about how they were treated, I think that she was just telling her story!! Now if some people look bad because they happen to have forgot what it means to walk in Christian love, understanding, and forgiveness, then "oh well" I guess they should of given their actions more thought. This is basically a story about forgiveness. Gayle shows how , though it is not always easy, we are called as Christians to forgive. She has forgiven those who mistreated them during this time as well as her Husband. I know the importance of forgiveness, the power of forgiveness. It may not be easy but it is doable, as Gayle attests to. In a world where people quickly write others off as trash, she stands up and says all people have value and are worth forgiving so that healing can begin.
I first heard about this book during my freshman year of college. I was intrigued by the idea of the African roots of European culture, and picked up the book to learn more. Unfortunately, I found Bernal's scholarship to be questionable -- he was making assumptions and claims based on very slender or circumstantial evidence, whether archaeological or philological. It is too bad, because Bernal's poor scholarship obscures the undoubtedly large amount of interaction and influence between Africa, Asia, and Europe in the ferment of the Greek cities in the eastern Mediterranean.

This is the first book in a series called Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. It is so far the best in the series though I haven't finished the series so my opinion may change.

Jules Verne's great work of science fiction prescience, in which he imagines the submarine a century before its invention. It's also a great tale.
