The cover of this book compared it to "A River Runs Through It". That statement was succesful in getting me to purchase the book but I didn't see many similarities. I enjoyed this book because it told an interesting story and was filled with religious imagery and religious themes. I enjoy it when an author can include his thoughts on life after death, miracles and forgiveness into a story that holds your interest. I think this would be an interesting book for some Mormon book club. There are no objectionable passages and it could promote discussion on the ideas touched on in this book. The characters spend a lot of time stuck in a cold winter in the Dakotas and I am gaining a better understanding of that weather since moving to Wisconsin.

You can’t be lily-livered and read Thomas Hardy. You have to have grit. This is equally true of The Woodlanders, written by Hardy in 1887 as one in the series of his Wessex novels. The Woodlanders is a “Gatsby-esk” look at class distinctions; how the privileged class invariably and uncaringly run rough shod over the lower and middle class – in this case in mid-19th Century England. Fitzgerald’s book followed some 38 years later and dealt with the same issue on American soil. Giles Winterborne (the hero) and Grace Melbury (the semi-heroine) are born to lower to middle class families in rural England and are promised to each other early in life (at least by Grace’s father, who does so to ease his conscience). Mr. Melbury, however, has prospered enough to send Grace away to school to provide her with education and refinement. Upon her return, he thinks her worthy of someone better than Giles. He becomes for her the “fly in the ointment” and sets in motion through his intransigence a concatenation of events which lead Grace into misery and disaster. Not really a bad man, he is a bumbler. Ultimately, there is no fulfillment for any of the characters. Grace seems to find partial redemption at the end, but the reader is left with the notion that she has merely jumped from the frying pan into the fire. As with The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess of the D’urbervilles, Hardy deals with issues affecting rural England during the first half of the 19th century – additionally, he explores the vagaries of class distinction, marriage relationships and morality. His literary style is unsurpassable – he may have equals among the Victorian authors, but no master. Hardy’s novels carry great emotional impact – I conclude each one feeling that I have been smacked right between the eyes. The final impact always seems to come at the end of the novel – often the last page. I added this book to my third topten.

This is an important Kazak novel to read. It juxtaposes the space-launch (done in the Kazak steppes) with the railroad workers, the pioneers of this flat frontier. Its a long book but important in regards to understanding the identity issues in Communist Kazakhstan.

The Hobbit was a wonderful prequel for the classic series The Lord of the Rings. Setting up for the many adventures the reader goes on with Frodo and the Fellowship. It is less descriptive then the Series and is geared toward young adults instead of the very adult story the Series goes through. A charming story that you can just fall into.

Surprisingly good. Quick read at only 130 pages. I would have enjoyed it without the author's name but it did add an extra level of goodness (better than I expected, better than his short story collection). Sad and dark-ish like The Good Girl , the movie with Jennifer Anniston. Makes me want to see the movie to do some comparision.
3.5 stars probably, but I enjoyed it enough to round up. This was a very curious combination of "what the hell is this?" and "well, I honestly don't know but I can't seem to put it down". The first 100 pages or so were a bit of a struggle to get through, I'll admit, and I certainly never expected I was going to end up liking it as much as I did. I think my initial problems had a lot to do with how completely ridiculous this book is. In a fun way, of course, but it takes some getting used to. E.g. one of the chapters was titled: "A very short chapter, in which very little happens." It's such an original book; a thriller and a wonderful parody at the same time. It's got a brilliant story with compelling and lively characters. Some parts didn't capture my attention quite as much, and others had me on the edge of my seat. But ultimately it just made me *care* about what would happen to all the good guys. Very imaginative, this was really good.
Into the wild is a great start to a good series. Though sometimes predictable, the warriors series was good throughout the first two serieses. However, in the Power of Three, the series seems desperate for ideas. I'm sorry that this ended up being a review for the whole series!

Voy a buscar más libros de Susan Hill, ¡este fue excelente! Creo que podría haber leído una adaptación de él en otro lugar, pero fue realmente genial. Una conversación con un Oxford (o Cambridge) Don se convierte en un recuerdo aterrador que abarca el tiempo y rompe los límites entre los mundos. Genuinamente, góticamente increíble y demasiado corto. Fantasmas, celos, amor, odio, disfraces, obras de arte, Venecia, Inglaterra. ¿Necesito decir mas?
