Wish I could give 3.5 or 3.75... Enjoyable, particularly for its elements of magic realism. I loved how (amongst other more fantastic things--) large tame jaguars could roam the streets alongside more 'real' elements of a late 20th century story. Many witty bits, some laugh aloud funny. But, I enjoyed the first half much more than the second... it started to lose it's charm and humour a bit. But, overall a good story with a clear moral perspective.
I am so looking forward to the next few in the series! It just keeps getting better and better!

Teresa Medeiros has written better books. I was a little disappointed with this one.

Actually, I couldn't get past the first few chapters, so I haven't technically read this one. I really like his writing style, but I just couldn't get into these characters.

** spoiler alert ** This book made me want Halloween to come around. It was full of creepy stuff and the main character was always dressing up for something. It was interesting.

Why would a man and woman who love each other, continue a 25 year relationship, and not get married? That is not the story here, just Spenser and Susan's relationship. The murder story was only okay. Too much of the kitchen sink added. Not sad this series has come to an end.

Here's the review from my twice-yearly zine (October '06). I think I preferred Link's debut short story collection, Stranger Things Happen, but I definitely appreciate what she's aiming for her. Nobody writes stories quite like hers: Kelly Link is herself no stranger to the bizarre, or even to charges of sometimes wading too deep into its waters for some readers’ taste. In a recent missive to members of her online writing workshop, Link encouraged writers to “submit more ambitious work....stories and characters and narrative twists that only you are strange enough to write.” Link has clearly taken this advice to heart, and then some. The stories that she and husband Gavin Grant select regularly for Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, their twice yearly zine, as well those chosen for the Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror series, which the couple have co-edited with Ellen Datlow since 2004—to say nothing of Trampoline, the 2003 anthology Link edited by herself—all of these reveal a penchant for the interestingly odd, the adventurous and ambitious short story. But this is nowhere more evident than in Link’s own short stories, most recently collected in the delightful Magic for Beginners (2005, Small Beer Press). These are stories that toy with expectations, subvert what we think we know to reveal something fundamentally more unusual and intriguing, more sinister or sublime, at the core. These stories often do have the feel of dreams to them—which of course is to say the bizarre, but not simply for its own sake. The strange and unexpected twists these stories sometimes take, the playfulness that Link displays with her words, the worlds she builds that are not quite our own—these are not an attempt to undermine reality, but to clarify it, to better understand and reveal the weird magic at reality’s heart. These have the feel not just of images, but of unsettling truths. Link’s stories are as frightening, and as funny, and as dazzling as any lingering dream.
It's the story of one woman's journey through a mess of depression and trying to set things right after a drawn-out divorce. It's a little more pretentious than I expected, with more dysfunction and less talk about food and travel than perhaps would be preferable for me. This book was really different than I thought it would be, but I ended up liking it for the most part. I thought the title was misleading, because I thought it was mostly about her spiritual journey and her struggle to get over the pain of her drawn-out divorce. Still an interesting read.
