This is an absolutely fantastic book. Riveting.
Maybe I'm just not a Toni Morrison fan. Even though I want to be. This is only the second book of hers I've read, the first being Song of Soloman in high school. I mean, no question, the lady can write. Certain passages are just beautifully rendered. A Mercy is told from several different points of view in pre-revolution colonial America. (It's the seventeenth century, and around Maryland, I think. Early enough that the Portuguese are still big shots in the area.) We begin with Jacob, a Dutch farmer. Also included are Florens, a slave that Jacob accepts as a trade from a Portuguese lord, Rebekka, a native American lady who's a servant in Jacob's home, and Sorrow, a shipwrecked teenager who's another servant in the household. Morrison does an excellent job of creating the world these characters live in-- it's at once wild, unspoiled and lovely, and also quite menacing and cold. I loved the feeling of that part of the country feeling new, because it feels so old to me. The Chesapeake Bay being slightly dangerous in its terrible beauty is a notion that is lost today, yet Morrison makes it plausible. The world of A Mercy reminded me of the world of The Crucible. Somewhat because of the atmosphere of fear among great natural beauty, but mostly because these are (for the most part) people living in a world that is completely new to them. In both settings, the characters are in awe of and at odds with the great possibility in the land around them. That said, I can't really abide by some of her character's voices-- Florens is somewhat unreadable, because her voice is dreamy and indistinct, it can be difficult to decipher what she's actually saying. I'm sure this is a draw for some readers, but for me it was merely frustrating and boring.
Not having read any of Perrault's fairytales before, I didn't quite realise what I was in for... And people say that Grimm's fairytales are gruesome - huh, think again and read Perrault's! There's an ogre appearing in about almost every single one of the eight tales in this edition, and, of course, they love eating fresh flesh (i.e. little people) and do so without delay. Yet in a strange way, I found these tales delightful and just so different to the Grimm's; in fact, they made me laugh out loud a few times - perhaps mostly because things took me by surprise, like the ending for "The Fairies": Nowhere could the wretched girl find anyone who would take her in, and at last she lay down in the forest and died". End of story. Each tale has a moral at the end, some even have two. There are some real nice gems among them, like the "Another moral" at the end of Blue Beard: You can tell this tale is old By the very way it's told. Those were days of derring-do; Man was lord, and master too. Then the husband ruled as king. Now it's quite a different thing; Be his beard what hue it may - Madam has a word to say! And this being written in 1697!

Loved the notion of a picture book, but the characters were unsympathetic and ultimately I couldn't care less about the story

This is an excellent book, full of leadership proverbs and helpful insight. It's easy to pick up, as each chapter is only two to three pages long, but don't let that fool you. Each thought is presented in a punchy, to the point way.

Such delicious brain candy. Very little substance or morality, but so much fun to read!
This one is very good so far, but taking me forever...
