Baruch Grodek b_grodek4f57 — I loved this book. Cat is one of those girls who doesn't fit into one of the high school girl stereotypes so often written about in books and I loved it. She was just Cat and had her own strengths and weaknesses. I usually hate books that have some kind of lesson or moral involved, but seriously, this book, while it may convince you to go vegetarian and not hold grudges, just doesn't feel like it's trying to teach you anything at all. It just happens. For some reason I feel like Amanda should really have been named something else - my idea of Amandas just doesn't fit with the fun Amanda portrayed in the book, but that's really the biggest complaint I have. I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely be looking for more by Robin Brande.

Ibrahim Nalakath ibrahimnk — quite funny, but common sense look at small town crimes and some frequently asked questions related to the law.

Trinidad Baño dulciyepeb0c — The Magus by John Fowles is a long novel that starts slowly. A young Englishman named Nicholas Urfe. He tells of his early life then describes an affair with a young Australian girl, whom he subsequently abandons to take a position teaching English on a remote Greek island. This part of the story is a bit of a slog, with part of the problem being the un-likability of Urfe. He’s a bit of a dick to put it succinctly. The story picks up after he meets a wealthy local named Maurice Conchis. Conchis becomes part friend, part mentor to Urfe. During their meetings Conchis tells stories of his early life, not all of which Urfe believes to be true. Urfe also undergoes a number of experiences which may or may not be real; a series of psychological scenarios possibly orchestrated by Conchis, in which no-one is who they seem, referred to as the Godgame. This portion of the novel is very absorbing as the reader, along with Nicholas strive to undercover what is true, what is false and ultimately what Conchis’s motivations are. The ‘Godgame’ gets increasingly more complex and Fowles ups the intensity. However when the story moves back to London it completely runs out of steam and (view spoiler)In the end the Magus was all style and no substance. Blah!

Habib Mohammed habz36 — I was expecting more out of this book. The regency setting is well done, and I felt like I was in Austen's universe, but I don't think the actual science fiction/fantasy angle was as well integrated as it could have been. It was a minor point in the story, when if you just change Mr Vincent's profession to regular artist, then you have a non-SF story. I dunno, I was just underwhelmed and felt it could have been a bit shorter as it did drag in parts. I will probably read the follow-up book though.

Alexandra Bosevska _anuki_lexa — Not as funny as I expect from Pratchett, but after getting through the initial disaster (which appears to be a tsunami generated by Krakatoa) humour does come back into the world. I greatly appreciated the cross-cultural studies as well as the history lessons. However, I wish the nature of the world had been stated more clearly in the beginning of the book: I had to read the epilogue to clearly understand that the setting was a parallel universe and that I wasn't just missing an important bit of history or geography.
