Rhapsody: Child of Blood 353 reviews
Tor Fantasy, 1999
One of the most powerful series i have ever read
+ An absorbing, fast-paced light read + This book was amazing
I have read a lot of fantasy series, probably every series that is out their that got a lot of attention. i have also read a bigger amount of ones that didn't get as much.
I am writing this review years+ after finishing it and i still think about it. i really wish it went on. Don't get me wrong, ...

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister: A Novel 278 reviews Gregory Maguire
Harper Paperbacks, 2000
Maguire has done it again
+ It Fits + Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
His wonderful novels have yet to disappoint. He is so descriptive and clear, I find myself drawn into his worlds completely. I have read 4 or 5 of his novels now and every time I have thoroughly enjoyed his twisted take on a familiar back story. Keep 'em coming!

Vision of the Future (Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn, Book 2) 330 reviews Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1999
Fantastic!
+ Second book in Hand of Thrawn series + Romance...the Star Wars way
If you've read other Star Wars novels by Timothy Zahn, you know he's the best author of the novels. Do yourself a favor and read the Thrawn trilogy. I'm still hoping Lucas will come to his senses and make a movie from those books.

Specter of the Past (Star Wars: The Hand of Thrawn, Book 1) 225 reviews Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1998
Zahn's triumph
+ A worthy "follow-up" to the Thrawn trilogy
I really, really enjoyed Tim Zahn's retur to the Star Wars universe, especially since this actually makes political sense. Though I enjoyed the Thrawn trilogy, Thrawn himself was rather annoying, as I am sure that he was to Luke, Leia et al, since he was so good at making their lives miserable. ...

The Assassin King (The Symphony of Ages) 22 reviews Elizabeth Haydon
Tor Books, 2006
The beggining of the end.
+ More Achmed Please!
Let me tell you, I'm a loyal fan of the Symphony of Ages series by Elizabeth Haydon. This series by-passes all other fantasy series I have ever read, and I believe is far more entertaining and engrossing than Harry Potter could ever be. While most fantasy series is dubbed with the typical fantasy ...

Dubliners 5 reviews James Joyce
Prestwick House, Inc., 2006
Literature For Those Who Appreciate It.
+ Excellent + Exactly What I Needed
There are wine enthusiasts who claim that certain vintages are wasted on those who fail to appreciate them. I'd never go that far in trying to restrict anyone from reading anything that's out there, but in Dubliners there is a certain sense that for those who have trained their minds to seek out ...

The Left Hand of Darkness 184 reviews Ursula K. Le Guin
Ace Trade, 2000
Revisit this Sci-Fi classic if you haven't read it since college
+ Le Guin's Masterpiece + Can't put it down
The intriguing notion that our gender dictates not only our personal life, but the society we create and our political systems was quite a radical thought for me in the 1970s when I first read this book in college. I was immersed in an on-going sexual revolution and a feminist awakening. Ursula ...
