A Feast for Crows (A Song of Ice and Fire)764 reviews George R.R. Martin Spectra, 2006 One of the greatest Epic stories ever written. + Subdued, but still very good + it's now late 2008 Maybe the best story I've ever read. Epic in span. The books look intimidating in size, but they read fast. There are no good guys and bad guys, just characters with their own motivations. At the end of the first book, I had my favorite character and my most hated characters(two brothers); at ...             The Sleeping Father (Today Show Book Club #20)34 reviews Matthew Sharpe Soft Skull Press, 2003 A laugh out-loud, modern day Shakespearian comedy + A good youth reader + sometimes improbable, but overall a moving story This book is a modern day Shakespearian comedy, and the bard would be proud of Mr. Sharpe. This is not a tragic novel in the least - it is a beautifully written, laugh-out-loud romp that reminds us that a love is more powerful (and funny) when it is shared with the community. ...             The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles 30th Anniversary Edition261 reviews Julie Andrews Edwards HarperTrophy, 1989 Whangdoodley AMAZING + Great book + My ten year old son's review: Best Book I've Ever Read! + Mrs. Radigan's Class Recommends this Book! + 8-12??

I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones. This one has that mysterious, voyeuristic, supernatural, surrealist feeling of his recent novels but somehow, the ...             The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: A Novel289 reviews Haruki Murakami Vintage, 1998 Patience and Growth Yields Great Reward + A certain "something" that is bizarre and intriguing + Excellent read + Think for yourself + Chronicle of the Lost             A Thousand Splendid Suns1307 reviews Khaled Hosseini Riverhead, 2007 Enthralling... + Very touching + Very good BOOK + Excellent Story             Pale Fire86 reviews Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1989 brilliant + everyman's decisions + Enjoyable at Multiple Levels + Mind bending!             A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 1)1512 reviews George R.R. Martin Spectra, 1997 Absolutely among the best I've read. Edgy stage-setting adventure creates an intriguingly cruel world + Brilliant start of a great series + A great start to a great series This book was recommended by a friend. I have since recommended it (and the series) to anyone with a bend for fantasy, fiction, political scheming, and/or adventure. Buy it, read it, then spread it. You will not be disappointed...unless of course adult themes and content offend you.             A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, Book 2)633 reviews George R.R.

I loved this book! I can understand that some of the reviewers have qualms about this book not being a horror, because it's not. BUT, this is a fascinating, deep, emotionally-raw book. Isabelle was such an intriguing character.

But this novel is not merely full-blown weird; it' s about the meaning of Weird, not just in the modern sense of 'bizarre' but in the root sense also.
