Unlistenable

Revisado: 04-27-11

I know I loved this story as a child, and read it then. This narrator is so overdrawn I couldn't listen at all to it
Very sad

Delightful!

Revisado: 04-27-11

I love micro histories about odd bits of the world. This one is a delight. It's full of a great deal of information about tea, British imperialism, China, India and that point in time. All in all, it's an interestingly drawn picture.
The author is not a great narrator, but she really didn't get in the way of her story. I found it a treat.

Such a cheap trick end!

Revisado: 04-09-11

There are interesting questions within this book, but it's almost more satire than real. Who could possibly design a child as spare parts for a child? Yuck.
But the end is one where they get exactly what they asked for. It's a prayer the devil answers. And it's as cheap a trick as I've heard of in a story. I was so let down.

Grotty

Revisado: 04-15-10

I found the first five minutes of this so grotty I couldn't go further. I loved A Dirty Job, but this is about college boys. I don't think it would be enjoyable unless you were one.

Lovely classic sciffy

Revisado: 04-09-10

This is a sweet story. I had read it years ago, and find it a bit dated, but still a treasure.

Interesting but disturbing.

Revisado: 02-15-10

I can't say I didn't finish this book, but it went to some very dark places.it's a redemption layered over about a half dozen betrayals. It's also a view of rural Wisconsin in the 1880s that I suspect is probably quite true.

great series, great read

Revisado: 06-08-09

I love this series and this is Perry at his best. Jane Whitefield represents alternative thought in her native American background, and in it's own way, alternative ethics. But it's a hard edge story that I did not guess the end to (and I can almost always guess the end).

miserable

Revisado: 08-29-08

This is a miserable book! The characters are not particularly medieval in their actions and the gratuitous sex scene after the wife's death is nasty. The book is grim in ways that are probably historic. I'm sure medieval life was hard, but this applies modern responses to it in a way that does not work. Very hard to listen to and annoying.

Love Willis' books

Revisado: 07-22-08

This is classic Willis, but it steps into some different territory. It's a grand read. Enjoy!

Good book well read

Revisado: 07-22-08

This is an old favorite book to begin with. But it's a delight read. My only issue is with the stuttering dolphins. It's written into the text but I think it could have been handled better.
