Loved this book! I watched the movie first. It really doens't do any justice. The book blows it away.

I wish I could rate something with negative stars. This is the worst book I've ever read. Elena is a whiner and she won't stop whining and worrying over the war in Iraq. I forced myself to read 1/3 the book and I decided to put it down for something more interesting. I would only recommend this book to people who love moping about,whining about the war in Iraq.

Heard a lot of hype around the book. The first half the story was good, got dull the second half.
The Tamuli was where I hopped off the Eddings train. It just got to be too much. There are still pleasures to be had from these books, although at close to 30 books (counting the Belgariad and Malloreon whose characters are just barely distinguishable from the ones here) these characters are starting to wear out their welcome just a bit by now. But they are still good company. And Eddings' dialogue, though getting just a tad stale by now, is still amusing. Somewhat atypically for a fantasy author it's the scenes between the fights and between the traditional "action" that are really the best. Eddings "action" never really has much tension because his protagonists are never even afraid themselves, they're never worried that they might lose. And it's just tiresome. The main question in these books is always just FINDING the enemy so that they can smash him. There's always trickery, trickery, trickery so that they don't know whose neck to snap. Then when they get to the bottom of it in the last book of the series and know where to go, they just go and kill everyone that needs killing. There just isn't that much at stake in these books.

We love quite a few Peter Sis books (I dare you to find a better little boy's book than FIRE TRUCK!), but Starry Messenger was not one of them. I had to do quite a bit of live-editing while reading this one to Toby (my fault -- I should have previewed it first). Weird cursive writing is abundant and hard to read. But perhaps making the script sigmoid and sideways made "The streets were open sewers. Diesease was common, and thousands died from typhus and from the bubonic plague," seem jaunty somehow, I don't know. On the page with this text "Galileo was afraid. he knew that people had suffered terrible torture and punishment for not following tradition. It could happen to him." there's a large (about a page and a quarter) illustration of a hellish torture chamber with Galileo standing small in the middle looking forlorn surrounded by an impossibly long snake. The room has a gigantic armless, shackled man, blindfolded and hung from a wall, evil-looking gryphons and dragon-things scowling at him, ghastly faces coming from flames, a skull and various disembodied heads on the walls, a bound and screaming man on a rack, seemingly with spikes going through him. Yadda yadda yadda. On the next page, Gaileo is on trial, standing on an island in a moat of the grim reaper, multiple devils, a scorpion(?) and other crazy stuff surrounding him. Well, thank goodness it has a happy ending... "Finally, more than three hundred years later, the leaders of the very Church that had punished Galileo Galilei pardoned him, and they admitted that he was probably -- in fact, surely and absolutely -- right." Unfortunately, that won't keep your kid from having nightmares. The problem I have with this book is that it is presented as though it's for an 8 year old, but the text style and content and the illustrations were just not appropriate for that age group. If you want to expose your child to some significant historical science, try The Librarian Who Measured the Earth by Kathryn Lasky, and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. It's a longer book, but it is still heavy on the pictures and appropriate for ages 7-12.
Wow, I have aread about 4 or 5 chapters already! I stayed up so late last night reading it, it was so hard to put down!
This book was published around 2005-6, before the housing bubble burst and before the Tea Party, but it predicted these things, which was a little spooky. I have become a little obsessed with this topic of the role of fundamentalist Christianity in American government since my own state elected a governor who figures prominently in all of these stories. (Yes, he's mentioned in this book, too.)

I'd always wanted to read Stegner, but finally got around to it while on the Appalachian Trail. I connected with the characters in this book and the narrator's feeling that learning about his ancestors would help him understand himself.

A nice mystery short story collection, as I recall.

Agree with some of the other comments. I really enjoyed this book as it kept me gripped wanting to find out why mike was being targeted. However I couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed by the outcome.
