A very enjoyable collection of Holmes and Watson mysteries, although there is a decided return to the romantic/melodramatic stylings of the early novels. After the opening story, which goes to lunatic levels to bring Holmes back (but fair enough), there are some great stories throughout. Watson's narrative voice is pitch-perfect, as is his relationship with Holmes. Beyond this, the various Scotland Yard characters are given more depth, and are able to work WITH Holmes, as opposed to just following him around and always being wrong. As I said above, though, many of the stories seem to veer toward that very 19th century melodrama feel in their denouements, although Conan Doyle handles it quite emotionlessly, so at least it isn't protracted. And many of the stories - those featuring missing people or objects - often seem to end with the same kind of conclusion (I won't say which, but you'll notice the pattern). Still, these weren't initially published in book form, and so I don't hold vague similarities against them. An enjoyable collection of stories. I'm two-thirds of the way through the canon already!

I'm reading it with my high school-age, inner city kids and they love it. Wright does such an incredible job of portraying the young, black male experience. He also has an astounding understanding of the human psyche.
Timeless message about the power of pursueing your dreams.

Follows on from Gardens of the Moon characters the Bridgeburners. More war and just the daily lives of these people is just fascinating.

Sean Griswold’s Head by Lindsey Leavitt 5/5 stars Summary: Payton is fifteen and plays basketball. Her life revolves around her. Her best friend Jac, short for Jaclyn, is as outgoing and wild as she is reserved and organized. They make odd friends but are perfect for each other. When Payton accidentally finds out that her Dad has developed MS and has been hiding it from her for months, she loses it. She quits the basketball team; she stops talking to her parents; she loses her brand new leather bound organizer; and she ends up talking to the school counselor against her will. The counselor wants her to find a focus object that will help her think about other things. Although it’s supposed to be an inanimate object, Payton decides on Sean Griswold’s head. He sits in front of her in Biology, it’s an alphabetical thing. As she writes in her journal about Sean’s head, she becomes curious about him. That curiosity leads her to following him and finally talking to him. But Payton has some issues that a new crush isn’t going to fix. Developing feeling for Sean may just make things worse. As Payton tries to find a way to deal with her Father’s disease, she may risk her relationship with her Dad, her best friend and any hope she has with Sean. My thoughts: This is a great book. Lindsey Leavitt does a wonderful job of dealing with some hard issues. Payton doesn’t know why she is acting the way she is. She struggles to deal with the major change of her Father’s illness. She avoids. She lashes out. She misbehaves. Her grades drop. She pushes people away. These are typical reactions to a hard situation. Without being a counseling session, the book takes someone through a process of coming to terms with it. I loved how Sean fit into the picture. He was mysterious and interesting. He was complex and he was his own person. I love how focusing on others, Payton actually learns a lot about herself. It’s a quick and funny read. It’s not depressing or discouraging at all. I read it in an afternoon and really enjoyed it. Enjoy the read!
another good one by Patterson
I really enjoyed the historical novel aspect since I knew very little about circuses before reading this book. Also, great back-and-forth between the main character's past and present. Reminded me of the way "The Notebook" was structured, although I didn't read that one, just saw the movie . The inclusion of the main character's point of view as an old man added some poignancy, especially at the end.

El formato del audiolibro, proveniente de una versión en cassetes (sí, ese antiquísimo medio, que muchos ni conocieron o recordarán), dificulta la "lectura". No hay una clara diferenciación entre cuentos, lo que impide saltar alguno que no interese demasiado o entender claramente donde comienzan o terminan. Algunos tienen grandes tramas y finales sorprendentes, que es lo que normalmente espero en un cuento, pero la mayoría parecen ejercicios. No me gustó como otros libros de Gaiman que me parecen excelentes, como Coraline, American Gods o The Graveyard Book, que recomiendo ampliamente (en su género de fantasía)
