Such a beautiful book, and contains one of my favorite lines in literature: "He allowed himself to be swayed by his conviction that human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."

Fitzgerald's best book. Painful and gorgeous.

If I hadn't liked something about the book, I would have stopped before the end. I didn't stop, and I think what held my interest was the ethical question at the heart of the conflict. However, the similarity among the voices of all the main characters continued to bother me throughout the narrative, and the ending really bothered me. While it resolved a conflict, it didn't resolve the one that mattered most to me as a reader. Overall, this book was fine for a "beach read," but I wouldn't recommend it to those who are looking for anything deeper.

The clarity of Isherwood's prose, the keenness of his observations, and the fascinating subject matter make this a classic. Especially relevant to people living in societies teetering on the edge of totalitarianism.

In brief: This is a good book. An original world, interesting protagonists, a fun story, and a satisfying conclusion. The book jumps back and forth between two points of view. Miryo is a young witch who must kill her doppelganger before she can control her own magic. Mirage is the doppelganger, a particularly gifted warrior and Hunter. Both characters are strong, independent, determined, and likable. Naturally, Miryo's mission to kill her double soon becomes far more complicated and messier than expected, drawing them into the middle of a conspiracy with the potential to destroy them both. The doppelganger issue originally made me stumble a little. When a witch is born, a spell is cast to help her channel her magic, and to block that channel until she's ready. The side effect is a doppelganger, who must be killed if the witch is to survive and come into her power. To me, it felt a little forced. It's a wonderful setup for the novel, but I never understood why the doppelganger was a natural side effect of the magic, for instance. And for me, the ritual murder of infants is too drastic a thing to be glossed over by saying the infants don't have souls until they're five days old, so it's not really murder. The story gets stronger as it goes. I like the relationship between Miryo and Mirage. In many ways, they truly are the same person, and it's fun to watch Brennan explore their similarities and differences, and the connection between them. They complement one another, and the book reflects that; the parts where the characters come together really do feel more complete than the earlier chapters. Bonus points to Brennan for avoiding the typical medieval European fantasyland world. This is a world of Brennan's own creation, but its roots appear to be more Eastern in origin, which is refreshing. Yes, we have swords and magic and horses and witchcraft. But while some aspects were familiar, the book doesn't feel like something I've read a thousand times before. Brennan also incorporates religion and prayer into the story, not in an evangelistic, preachy way, but as a natural part of the world and the characters. Fantasy and SF sometimes tends to ignore or simplify religion, but Brennan presents a rich, honest faith, and shows both the good and the evil that can come of it. The book includes a short preview of the sequel, Warrior and Witch. I rarely glance at these excerpts, but in this case, I immediately read it and wanted more. Happily, Warrior and Witch will be out in less than two months. Sooner would be better, but I suppose I can wait that long.

I enjoyed this book. It isn't the most well written book but the story kept me captivated. I also liked that this is a teen book that boys can read too.

Finshed reading this to my younger sons last night; when I revisit Laura Ingalls Wilder these days, it tends to be her older ones. As a writer, she feels slightly less confident in this book: the chapters are more instructive and the use of stories-within-the-story was something she grew out of after this book. But it's still glorious. I love the honey tree, Ma making hats, Laura's jealousy of oh-so-perfect Mary, the astonishment of seeing a town for the first time; the excitement of the dance. I can't help noticing how much better off Pa was when he lived here: cows, pork, honey, abundant and varied vegetables, family around: there's a much more prosperous feel. Not for the first time, I feel for Ma having to become a pioneer wife when it's obviously not really her thing. Laura's love for Pa is never clearer than in this book: where most farming books end with harvenst, or the coming of warm weather, she finishes as winter closes in again, because winter means having Pa at home in the evening, with his fiddle and the security he brings them. The ending where she locates the little house in the present 'This is now, it can nevedr be long ago' is moving and elegaic. My boys enjoyed it, but not as much as my husband (who has strong elements of Pa in him, both as a parent and a handyman), who loved every chapter.

A decent adventure story. It's a B novel. But Dan Brown is a fast read and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Some parts are pretty far fetched, but that's part of the fun.
