All The Weyrs Of Pern
by Anne Mccaffrey

View in Library Catalog



How to spot a great book! A- the book moves you emotionally B- It's hard to put down, immerses you C- At then end, you need it to continue All the Weyrs of PERN meets ALL of these marks. It's high rating, Hugo nomination and months on the NY Times best seller list support that. I knew where it was going so I stopped reading 5 pages before the end. Maybe if I don't read it, it won't happen? ?? Well, I did it. I read the last 5 pages and, as expected, my eyes burned, my heart broke and I grieved with the people, dragons and fire lizards of PERN. I knew it was coming since this was my 5th time in this book, yet it slew me again. ?? I have a new goal added to my list of things I may never survive to accomplish - I want to write a story as moving as this one, to make people care as much for my characters. I want to reduce my readers to a blubbering mound of snot, like this one does even after reading it 5 times!

A Buyer's Market
by Anthony Powell A Dance To The Music Of Time

View in Library Catalog



I love this book and the whole series -- rereading it again for the third or fourth time. I suggested the first book, A Question of Upbringing, for my book club and people were not enthusiastic. I think you have to love literary style, and his in particular, to enjoy the books, and also you have to be familiar with British novels and history in the first three-quarters of the last century. But he is so subtle, witty and never mean, unlike so many of his contemporaries, and so candid about the faults and oddities of his novelistic stand-in, Nicholas and so acute about his friends and the people he observes, that every reading is a pleasure.

Big Nate Strikes Again
by Lincoln Pierce

View in Library Catalog



When Nate's most Hated rival Gina sits right behind him things just begin to change, first Nate has to do his project with Gina, second Nate also has a fleece ball game but Gina is also in it! Then she completely ruins his chance at winning the Spoffy trophy because then she makes her "mascot" talk and it distracts Nate from hitting the ball. Obviously Nate was mad about this and realizes he had a bad day. Then Gina shows up and makes a deal to Nate, she said that if she quit fleece ball then she will do all the work, without Nate doing it because then they would sure enough lose her "academic record" of an A+. But it turned out that if Nate hadn't stepped in then she would've gotten an F because her work had to be all original, and Nate's report was all that it was original, why it was his good ol' comics. Then Gina lied about leaving fleece ball because when Randy stepped on Nate's foot Gina came in as a substitute. But at her last and only swing she hit it, what a show off! And that is my short book review.

A great book!

The Kindly Ones
by Anthony Powell A Dance To The Music Of Time

View in Library Catalog



When I read these 12 books of A Dance to the Music of Time, I read them straight through and rarely think about them as individual books. But in the case of The Kindly Ones, this time through, I paid a bit more attention and wondered why the author went back to his childhood at the beginning of this volume. It turned out both sections of the book, the flashback and the chapters that are in the sequence of his life to this point, are about wars beginning -- the day when he was nine years old that the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Austria by a Serbian nationalist, marking the beginning of World War I, and then the tension in Europe after the Munich concession and up to the invasion of Czechoslovakia that led up to World War II. Too young for the first war, Powell is nearly too old for the second and fears he won't be accepted into the army. He is never specific about his reasons for wanting to serve, but a combination of patriotism and rejection of the Nazis is easily inferred from the other events in the book.
