| My book group selected this book. I didn't really know much about it going in.
I was quickly impressed by the way the author was able to take such a complicated plotline with characters interacting with each other at different ages throughout their lives and make it easy to follow. It was a really different take on time travel than I had ever read before---not a scifi "go back and fix history" book, not about paradoxes and alternate universes--and I enjoyed the fresh view ...

| Doesn't go beyond a nice idea - way too abstract for children. Can be used as base material to making yourself familiar with the concept of time travel in the vicinity of black holes, but leaves it up to an older reader to grasp the meaning of the story.
Claims the existence of alien life. Try harder next time.Icarus at the Edge of Time |

| This is a great book indeed.It really shows a side to comics that alot of people dont see everyday in their local stores and tv shows.Only thing I found dissapointing was the fact that the book was not long enough.Im the kind of person where when I start to get lost into the story,I cant get enough and need more.Im sure alot of people would agree with me when I say that.Overall a definite must have. |

| Like many of the books I wind up falling in love with, I stumbled upon The Lightning Thief by accident. I was wandering around Border's and found this gem on a table with signs saying "If you liked Harry Potter, then you might like these..." They were right.
The concept of the famous gods from ancient mythology still existing and following the path of Western Civilization across the world is genious. And the demigod characters who star in this new series are wonderful! I found myself wishing that I was a member ... Read More: |

| My title sums it up. Some, even much, is deliciously written; but ultimately Updike fails to make us care very much about his aging widow witches. |

| Ms. Rowling's fifth book involves oodles of political intrigue between the government in power and many of the major characters teaching or attending Hogwarts. The school slowly morphs into a brutal, totalitarian institution under the control of the government. The reasons for the repression of the students and teachers are more complicated than simply good vs evil. This story is a wonderful way of teaching readers about the loss of individual rights. It is clearly darker than the previous four, but still very entertaining. There is plenty of magic, ... Read More: |

| I bought this hoping for a haloween scare but so far no scares. I'll admit I'm not done with the book but while the stories inside are good It doesn't really make me feel I've been visited by the living dead. I'll put it down and read some more another time. |

| I really loved this book and look forward to reading the others in the series. It was slow at first but really if you hang on a little while longer- its worth the wait really!!

| Somewhere in the first chapter (or maybe the second, if you are convinced that the first chapter is a foreword), it dawns on you: this is not normal. The main character is not dynamic. There is no real, driving conflict. There is no escalation, nor any other conventional literary mechanism used to move the story. That would probably be the best word to describe Vonnegut: anticonventional.
What follows is a masterful tale the likes of which we may never see again. The sublime tones combine with a graceful, immersive imagery and characters that are bare and gaunt ... Read More: |
