Review:A must-read! Start with "River God", and carry on from there. You need to understand the main character, Taita, first. The book "River God" is in my top 3 books ever read. After that, all you will want is more, more, more! Write faster Mr. Smith! Read more

Review:First time reading this author.....really enjoyed the story. Takes place on a barrier island off of Australia. Story was very intertwined and was about relationships, living in a remote place & recording info about the sea turtle population. Also one of the main characters learned a new way to live without the amenities she was used to & she overcame her fears & learned to deep sea dive, discovering another world down under. Read more

Review:I really loved the first half of this book. SPOILER ALERT..............the first half is written from the side of the man and I thought it was interesting. Just as you know what is going to happen they switch and tell the whole thing over from the woman's perspective. I was already invested in the story and knew what had happened so it was like immediately rewatching a movie you just saw. I was a bit bored and my mind wandered as the woman talked about a lot of art stuff and her snooty frien... Read more

Review:It is interesting to see how golems evolve from Pratchett's Discworld novel, "Feet of Clay" (1996), where they are speechless slaves of clay, to "Going Postal" (2004) where a well-educated but humorless golem serves as body guard and lecturer-in-morals to the new Post Master. This is where it all begins...

Review:Death is my favorite character in the disc world, and this book is one of the best the series. Reaper Man gives you a chance to see just how much love and appreciation Death has for life. Not to mention this is where we are introduced to Death of Rats, <3! Read more

Review:This was by far one of the most interesting novels I have read to date. I love the characters. The story is amazing, if a little long. Theodora is someone I feel like a personally know. Before reading this epic story, I had no idea who this faulty yet redeemable heroine was, let alone that powerful women like her her existed in that time period. This story is based in facts and captures this moment in history so deliciously you felt like you lived it. It was the complete, secret, history of a ... Read more

Review:toibin has done it again. a tale essentially irish- read that as quirky somewhat exasperating and gentle. sometimes a bit distanced from her children nora is trying to work it out and reinvent herself. Read more

Review:I found the story line engaging, but the characters really pulled me into the book. They ring true, and I could imagine myself sitting with them and enjoying being part of the conversation. If you enjoy well written prose and great characters, you should enjoy The Essex Serpent. Read more

Review:Tilda's husband died in an accident. A year later, she moved into a small cabin by a lake that was meant to be their dream home. It was only after moving to the small Welsh village that things began to happen to, and around Tilda that she had never experience before. It started out farily small, timepieces that stopped working, electricity that suddenly became temperamental. He computer became difficult, but that is the way of computers, so it took me a while to decide that was connected with he... Read more

Review:I enjoy historical fiction, anything supernatural, and anything celebrating feminine power or energy, so this was right up my ally. This book centers on Bess, a modern-day witch with a long (as in 400 years) and tragic past. We learn of her past as she tells it to a new, contemporary student of hers, a young girl who wishes to become a 'hedge witch', focused on the herbal healing arts and rituals. Bess is capable of much more than this, and as the story develops we learn why and how as she tells... Read more
