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 Novel278 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!

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.

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. ...

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 ...

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 Darkness184 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 ...
