I first want to say I have not read a TC in a while. I do like them but I tire of the court room stuff very easily. To me this one had more history of the family than anything. Marcus was a very disturbed person. To start with he was a man who prayed upon his own children (SICK). He took advantage of his wifes neices also. This wife can not tell me she did not know any of this was going on. I know there was alot of people living in just a small place she had to have heard or seen many things. One of the girls said she walked in on several occassions while he was abusing her.. She said she did not! I say she had to have. I am not sure how this family avoided people knowing how they lived for so long. And seeing as they were collecting welfare someone knew how many people lived with this man. Does welfare not ask for the fathers of the babies?? Well I feel very sorry for the survivors as they have to live with their part in this horrible mess (the wife mainly). As with most TC I read if left me wanting to know more!!

Totally captivated by the movie (which I saw when it first came out, and which I have seen perhaps half a dozen times or more), I first read the book (hardcover, via the Science Fiction Book Club, about 1970) and the original short story (The Sentinel) with great expectations, but was, overall, let down in many respects. Simply, for me the book failed to resonate the way the movie did. And, it was only years later, after reading Nietzsche in 1983, that the relationship of the movie to Nietzsche further diminished the book for me. There are strong comparisons to be made between the movie and the author of Also Sprach Zarathustra -- from the use of the opening strains of Richard Strauss' music of the same name, to the imagery of the star gate at Saturn (Jupiter in the movie, Gravity in Nietzsche) through which the hero must pass on his way to the summit of overcoming as he remakes himself into a new man (star child). The book indicates (to me, and perhaps only me) that it's mostly Kubrick who drove the process. I am still not certain how Clarke felt about the whole thing. But I strongly doubt he really enjoyed any of it, despite the success it brought.

I couldn't finish it. I'll give it another go, but not yet.
I highly recommend this book for anyone that would like to be inspired by how much affect one person can have on our world. Greg Mortenson is truly a modern day hero.

This volume was just as good as the first volume. I really like the characters in this series. The bonus stories "Makeover" & "False Girlfriend" were also pretty interesting.
This novel in verse is a perfect read for middle school girls. You'll get hooked on Sonya Sones after reading this one!

No me canso de releer las obras completas de Borges...y cada vez descubro un nuevo detalle...incomparable!!
As the beginning of a series set in the fantasy world of Faearth this book is complex and full of the initial world building that comes at the beginning of every new series... There is a major difference in that the tales interwoven together mesh fairly seamlessly and without being awkward or confusing... Dindi is the main character, a young girl of 14 who wishes and hopes and dreams of becoming a Tavaedi Dancer which is a high honor and one very few achieve.... She is thought to be odd and no one of her acquaintance understands or appreciates, her including her own family! Dindi waits and hopes for a Dancers Initiation ceremony and yet at the same time fears failure and disgrace at the end of it! Kavio the hero of the piece is an outcast, an exiled warrior who is also not understood and who actually was in danger of being put to death because of political intrigue! Kavio is himself a Tavaedi Dancer , a warrior, also a very honorable and compelling character who rescues Dindi from drowning then becomes fascinated with the young woman who in his mind is exquisite and very talented as he had seen her dance when she was unaware that he was watching! The Fairy Tale quality of the book is a joy, all the interwoven cultures work to make a very cohesive whole and every fact and description that is used in the story brings it to life in a way that makes it a very easy read and also a very interesting one along the way... All the dance scenes, the mystical flashbacks and even the political agendas of the different factions in the book are just part of the background of the story and allow the reader to focus on Dindi and Kavio as they go through their individual trials... The story is such a wonderful mix of different cultures, different legends and myths that make it fresh and new and at the same time familiar and comforting to read. Even though the author ends this part of the tale on a cliffhanger the knowledge of more to come is comforting and gives the reader time to process all the emotions and thoughts that this book provokes! As a long time lover of Fantasy and Fairy Tales sitting down with a copy of The Unfinished Song-Initiate was like sitting down to enjoy a rich piece of chocolate cake, satisfying and filling in an emotional way that went beyond the need for food and drink! The author has created a story that is richly detailed, fantastically characterized and paced perfectly to allow the reader time to enjoy each aspect of what is happening without feeling rushed or overwhelmed... For me this book was more than just a pleasure to read, it was a "feast for the senses" as the world around me ceased to exist and the world inhabited by the Tavaedi and the Zavaedi , who are the central characters in this first part of the story, kept my attention from start to finish... I hope to get a chance to read the next part of the story which picks up in book two Taboo and see what happens to the Initiates and Dindi and Kavio especially!
