I read this book on a reccomendation of a friend. It is not something I would normally choose. I did like the book but it was very hard to read as a parent with a daughter in a similar age group. Bring tissues.

My husband and I read this one together, as we are both American Civil War buffs, as well as fans of Australian author Thomas Keneally. It was very absorbing, believable, interesting and worthwhile. Mr Keneally has really done his research on this war and its cultural setting, and is knowledgeable about the various generals and other personages, and it all rang true. The various fictional characters were all well drawn, and their stories gripping. Our hearts ached for those on both sides of the war, so even-handed was the treatment.
A solid 4.5 stars. I've now put Ilona Andrews into the category of "incapable of writing a bad book". A rarified strata occupied by few authors indeed. The Edge series just gets better and better and this one had every element needed to make for an excellent book: adventure, strong characters, a good story, good writing. If you haven't read it yet, do so soon.

Very entertaining. A great story. This is a story about religion and fiction. When Pi tells the investigators an alternate version of the story that they can accept, he a proving the point that religion and fiction serve the same purpose. People would rather have a false religion that they are comfortable with and that is easy to believe than have a true religion that is hard to follow. People would rather make up their own version of the truth that doesn't stretch their minds or beliefs. Having said that, it is a little ironic that the Pi himself has made up his own Christian/Muslim/Hindu hybrid religion. As he has the discussion with his parents, he comes of as being a young sage who has it figured out, while the adults in his life are ignorant. In the end he wants the reader to believe his version of the truth, that the three religions are compatible, rather that have an normal religion, one that "reasonable" people would accept. Is Pi doing the very thing he is condemning when he makes up his own religion, his own version of the truth?

Good, but was slow getting going. Ended a little weak. Long for a youth read.

Delighted to find another retold fairy tale. The first two thirds of the book is excellent as the author re-images the East of the Sun, West of the Moon tale in a Norwegian setting. Note also the strands that are elements of Beauty and the Beast, and the Greek myth of Psyche and the lamp. (See also Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis.) The lass must live for one year with the enchanted "ice bear", whom she comes to love; but she risks all by sneaking a peak at a night-time bed fellow. The second half of the story is less effective. It loses the pace and becomes bogged down at the palace of the troll queen and her ugly daughter. I felt as though the author couldn't figure out exactly how to bring the story to a conclusion, and began jerking the characters around at will. I would have rated it more highly if she could have retained the mystique of the beginning!
Love this book! It's a classic but secretly quite campy. ("I've never seen so many beautiful shirts!!") Dr. T. J. Ekleburg is watching you.
Pretty good. Thrown together a bit at the end
