I really enjoyed this book. Yes, you could see the plot a mile away but the story still held interest to the end. Having grown up on a farm during a period only a few years after the setting of this book, I fully related to the lifestyle, the daughers' love of land and the social mores of the time. While reading I began to have dreams of my childhood. Few books do that for me.

This was my second read on this book. While I enjoyed it, I also felt like perhaps me, as a cook, has changed. Or me as a reader has changed. Maybe I've read too many incredible food memoirs in the meantime, or my skills have improved. This time I sort of felt like I was getting advice from a 1970s earth mother in a room with a spider plant. This is not to say I didn't identify with her ("Because I am always hungry, I myself eschew hors d'oeuvres. When they come my way, I eat too many and then I am full by the time I reach the table. This does not, however, prevent me from cleaning my plate and then I am angry at myself for eating too much.") Ah, this is me. This is also not to say I didn't take away nuggets of wisdom: "Always try everything even it turns out to be a dud. We learn by doing. If you never stuff a chicken with paté, you will never know that it is an unwise thing to do, and if you never buy zucchini flowers you will never know that you are missing one of the glories of life." Reading this was like having a friend in the kitchen, talking ever so quietly to you as you cook. Maybe I've been reading too much Melissa Clark, who is a "louder" talker to me in the kitchen, and who is fresh, young, daring, and adventurous. While I enjoyed reading this and didn't give one thought to putting it down, I was a little disappointed it didn't affect me like it did the first time I read it. Sometimes, you CAN'T go home again.

When I was younger, I fell in love with Robin McKinley's Hero and the Crown and the Blue Sword. I reread those books over and over again. When I recently learned that she actually wrote adult novels too, I almost fell over my feet in giddiness. I decided to try Sunshine since she had won awards for it but when I read the description, I was kind of hesitant. Lately, there has been a HUGE overabundance of vampire novels and I was scared that it would be another Twilight (Sorry Twilight fans, but I really could not stand that book). My fears were quickly put to rest. The vampires in this novel are SCARY and not human in all the ways that matter that makes them wonderful. They aren't sparkly. They are ugly. They are the embodiment of the terrifying things that go bump in the night. I relished this. The main character, Sunshine, is also my kind of girl. Usually, I get irritated about main female characters in fantasy novels especially if they are written in a first-person manner because they often fall into the "I'm beautiful and helpless" or the "I'm so cool and bitchy because I'm bad ass" camp. Sunshine is cool because she has powers but at the same time, she gets scared and tired and snarky and sometimes doesn't want to brush her hair. She fights with her mom and struggles with herself. Basically, she's a regular girl(with cool powers). Her train of thought is basically what our train of thought would be if we were stuck in the same situation. And the vampire she saves never stops being a scary-as-hell-never-going-to-be-human-quite-ugly vampire but in the end, I fall in love with him just a little bit. The plot starts off a bit slow but once I made myself keep reading, I found that I wasn't able to put it down. The world created is as familiar as our own suburbs but set in the context that magic users and Other creatures exist. The world works seamlessly, immersive but also easy to figure out. This is definitely an adult novel. There's sex stuff, tons of cussing, and blood & gore galore but Robin McKinley handles these in proper way. Sex taboos between human & vampire are still there and dealt with maturely (Not to mention that Sunshine has this amazing tattooed biker boyfriend named Mel). Cussing is part of the characterization. And the blood & gore are never gratuitous. I loved it.

Compared to the Planetary series, this is a pale shadow. Putting Planetary in a story with the Authority makes the "P" gang seem so trivial.

Found this randomly on the just returned shelf and got it purely because it had a good review actually on the front cover from Adam Roberts Prof og 19th Century Literature at my old college University of London. "How sheerly pleasurable it is to sink into a really well-built, expertly handled novel. Superb stuff" It was and I'd recommend it.Opening words "There are one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven demons. Precisely."

Like a refreshing condiment, this made Ron Howard's film that much better. I never got into all the clue Brown scattered throughout the book.

Boring, boring and yet again boring! Writing for a newspaper is not quite the same as writing a book - while I was really interested in the topic the boredom set in fairly early and halfway through the book packed it in.

Mầm Ác Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi:

i just re-read this for a book club, and i think my initial rating still stands. although i'd probably nudge it up half a star simply because the book did keep me roped in and caring about the characters and wanting to know what would happen. overall though, the thing that bothered me the most with this book is how emotionally manipulative it was. while cancer is never a happy-go-lucky subject, i think the way the story twists at the end was a bit too predictably un-predictable. i know that doesn't really make sense, but for me the ending just seemed tagged on almost as if the author were saying "haha, i fooled you. you thought it was going to end one way, so i ended it another." anyway, thats just my opinion. one which was not strengthened when i read another of her books (plain truth) which i also found to be a compelling read, but in the end emotionally manipulative as well. and that's not even getting started on the ethics (or non-ethics) of using one child to save another.
