I'd give this novel 3 1/2 stars. Very well written. Entertaining use of the Anishnabe culture in the native struggle against white/christian influences. The characters are strong and complex and the various plots are both realistic and informative. A good candidate for a book club discussion.
Melodramatic to the max. This novel couldn't help but be; seriously, have you seen where the Bronte sisters lived? Some little crappy town (literally), where the streets were full of sewage and filth, in a house planted next to hundreds of rotting graves (crammed into a tiny cemetery and stacked on top of each other). The only escape Emily and her sisters had were the moors, which were "wild" and sufficiently far enough from the town to provide clean air, free of corpses and cholera. Naturally, the girls would dream of distant, dark, mysterious figures who would come galloping over the moors and spirit the beautiful heroines away. Add in absurd plot twists and you've got yourself an extended Kate Bush song. This is a great read when you're in high school and sufficiently wrapped up in melancholic, romanticized drama. It's a bit tedious and ridiculous as you get older, but - I must guiltily admit - still a little fun in parts. (Oh Hareton, you puppy-hanging son of a gun!)

This entire collection is great. I read it in high school and still re-read it in parts every few months.
This is a novel about a woman writer, her family and everyday existence. This was a slow read for me.

Five stars for the killer action scenes! As a sucker for sci-fi, I found that this novella was tightly written, well-executed, and had a great space-opera feel. I think fans of the genre will appreciate the classic elements here: The Hegemony - a big bad alien organization that is trying to control the universe Syna - the subversive tough-as-nails ship captain. So far the best female Han Solo type character I've come across Awesome weaponry - ceramic needle shooting guns, monomolecular blades (Johnny Mnemonic anyone?), all sorts of cool The story moves fast and with each page you learn more about the world and technology surrounding it. As I was reading it, I was feeling ripples of Dune, Serenity, Star Wars & William Gibson all rolled in here, but it worked. It's like a Rocky Road of science fiction -- so many great tastes that taste great together.

Wow my hat is off to you Mr. Klune, this book was awesome. This story was a beautiful emotional roller coaster ride. Told in the first person by Bear, it made me feel everything that he felt. The love that he had for his little brother Ty was tremendous. This story was really about all the kinds of love we have in our lives and how they affect our perceptions. The love between Bear and Anna was a sweet leaning on each other love. Bear and Creed shared a love that went deeper than that of best friends. Bear and Otter shared the ultimate mind, body and soul love that comes along once in a lifetime if you're lucky and brave enough to reach out and grab it. The other reviewers have given the synopsis of the story so I won't go over it again. This book was sad, funny, heart wrenching and left me smiling happily. Mr. Klune was able to pack a terrific cast of characters and so many vivid emotions into one book. I think everyone should read this story. Love just is.

I've always been a fan of the Rosalind Russell film, Auntie Mame, and after recently watching the dreadfully sub-par Mame, starring Lucille Ball, I decided it was finally time to read the book and discover madcap Mame's true story for myself. This book is absolutely hilarious, hands-down one of the funniest, most charming books I've ever read. The Rosalind Russell film is a gem, but the book takes everything wonderful about the film and multiplies it about ten times over. The book is quite a bit more *cough* bohemian than what would've been allowed in a 1950's film. It isn't a straight, linear story - instead it's eleven chapters cover various episodes over the course of Patrick's life as he grows up with his rather unconventional aunt. This device helps make the book an extraordinarily fast read - as soon as one escapade is finished, you want to dive right into the next. Each episode is "framed" by Patrick reading about the "Unforgettable Character" in the Digest, prompting him to compare the Digest's Unforgettable Character with his own Auntie Mame. Patrick reminsces his way through life with Mame in the glittering Roaring Twenties, surviving the Great Depression, her marriage and widowhood, World War II, and my favorite episodes - Patrick's "punctured romance" with the snobbish Gloria Upson and Mame's "golden years" when she starts to long for Patrick to settle down and have kids. The heart of the story is Patrick's relationship with Mame - as he gets older he may get a little more frustrated with Mame's unconventional ways, but underneath it all the one thing that never changes is their love for each other. Auntie Mame is the perfect balance of laugh-out-loud comedy and heart-tugging, genuine emotional depth. HIGHLY recommended.

Grandmother always liked to read books by Binchy. Maybe I chose the wrong one to start with.

This is one of those books that make me think of irony. I've avoided "war" books because I tend to read mostly for escape and entertainment and I don't enjoy stories about wars. I do love historical fiction and this was offered to me for my honest review so I thought I might as well take a chance on it. The first thing I learned was that this isn't really a book about war ~ it's a book about people. The author has written some compelling characters that are exactly the kind I prefer. These aren't marshmallow fluff characters that leave you feeling as if you may need to visit the dentist because they are just a tad too sweet - too perfect to actually walk planet Earth. Annaliese is basically in rebellion against her parents, her government and her faith. Christophe is so angry at what has happened that one of the first things we see him do is try and destroy a poster of the Kaiser - his mind full of thoughts about how the army was lied to and betrayed by the people who led them into the war. Another reason I don't much like "war" books is because I would like to keep all the horrible scenes and issues in the past - thinking it has no relevance on life today. I cringed more than once as I read the well-meaning Annaliese describe to Christophe why socialism was the right thing for Germany. Too often her speeches, along with those of her mentor, Jurgen, could have been ripped from today's headlines. What surprised me the most was how much I liked this book. It put a human face on a difficult period in Germany's history. Christophe's love and dedication to Annaliese wasn't conditional. He didn't stop caring for her because her views were different, or when she did things he didn't approve of. In many ways I think his love was a great example of how God loves us - patiently, completely and for who we are. This book featured wonderful characters that exhibited great strength as well as weaknesses. I think it was one of the best books I've read so far this year and I thank Tyndale House for providing it to me in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book! When I bought it, the lady at the book store said it was similar to Twilight, which made me hesitant. But, it's not that like those books at all! It's an easy read but it's actually written well, and the heroine is a very strong female character. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
