Daring Ophelia

+ A Work of Art
+ Ophelia gets 5 stars for an outstanding book!!!!!!

Lisa Klein has written a lovely tale that brings Ophelia a life of her own. It shouldn't be compared to Shakespeare's writing--it was not meant to be. If you are familiar with Hamlet, then you will take a deeper meaning from certain events...(no spoilers here) But some of the other story elements ...
  
  











  



  
Garri Potter i uznik Azkabana (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Russian Edition)3 reviews

Rosmen, 2002

Good translation!

+ Prisoner of Azkaban
+ Garri Potter i uznik Azkabana

The first Harry Potter book in Russian was truly dreadful, but Uznik, in contrast, is extremely well translated. It keeps much of the flair of the original while flowing naturally in Russian. An enjoyable read, sure not to disappoint those who loved the series in English.

Finally filled the void

+ A very enjoyable read.
+ good and it gets better

Like many Potter fans, I was looking for something to fill the void. I have found it!!! I am on book 2 in the series and can say that Sage keeps the action coming, the fantasy alive, and the characters believable. I can't bear the thought of finishing this series-what will i do then???!!!

Helen of Sparta, more commonly called Helen of Troy, who possessed the face that launched a thousand ships. But who might she have been before her abduction started the ten year Trojan War? Esther Friesner attempts to find out. Summarizing this book is pretty much useless since it doesn't really ...
