Nice little travel story

This is a juicy little story that I enjoyed very much.  I love stories that relate to India and this one didn't disappoint.  Always a pleasure to find foreign language titles on Amazon.  This is a very short, thin book but it's good for a quick read on public transport.  Recommended!

travelogue with a little mystery thrown in. Best if you knew the area in the heyday.

A nice little story and good piece of historical fiction. The characters, events and ramifications are portrayed realistically. Befor reading this, I was unaware of the orphan trains.

A good light read, great for the beach or a long flight.

A modestly entertaining travelogue describing the author's trips through a variety of spiitual quests. Some of the people she encounters appear to be charlatans, others are just dispensing harmless fun. But the destinations are chosen on the basis of what's weird and picturesque rather than profound, and you won't find much in the way of serious answers or meaningful paths. Does she find God? Well, I won't give away any spoilers, but she does manage to get Him on the phone (area code 775)!

Enjoyable read to spur some wanderlust and convince me that it's doable with kids. Overall, lovely, but felt like it was missing something.

Pretty good little story. Nice, fresh look at the whole witchy-thing. Went a little long on the loves me/loves me not thing, but I guess it was fairly necessary to the story.
I like Mouse, the Eternal Troubled Teen.
Could have used some tightening up, but a real fine first novel.
Eastern European traditions and folklore is sadly neglected, and this is a nice take

Nice sense of  traveling and of the growing relationship of the travelers  .sometimes a little difficult to get the lesson being taught,but those kinds of messages are pretty hard to define.

A quick, short little story with a bit of an unusual premise. Alun was presumed dead in an underground train crash, but he's been appearing to Olivia in dreams, and she begins to believe he's alive. This creates a mystery: where is he? If he isn't dead, why didn't he contact any of his friends or family to let them know?

I liked the story but it's short and felt like it ended too quickly. Don't get me wrong, it didn't feel rushed and there were no loose ends left hanging. But it felt...shallow, like the author had barely skimmed the surface of what could have been a deeper, richer story. I think if the author had fleshed things out a bit more it could have had a stronger emotional impact. But because the story was so short, it was like I blinked and it was over. I was pleased with how the issues were resolved but I didn't have the sense of satisfaction that comes when you've traveled through a story with the characters, gripping the edge of your seat, wondering how they're going to resolve their difficulties, cheering them on, and finally rejoicing with them when they triumph against all odds. So it's a light easy read. I would recommend it if you want something quick and undemanding to read during lunch hour.

Reasonable read, not a lot of fire in the storyline, comfortable travellers read, on a bus or train. Not too much excitement.

The book is enjoyable for a light read when you want to 'get away,' nothing to complex but I enjoyed it.

This was an odd but uplifting little story about a girl who breaks away from her strange father in an isolated life and journeys out on her own to the big city and does a lot of growing up.  I found it very endearing.  And I really enjoyed the New York setting.  All the settings, really. I guess I just really enjoy these sorts of journeys that involve travel and changes in setting.  And it made me miss NYC.  I'm glad I gave it a chance.  The women I read it with didn't love it as much as I did and thought it was just okay... but I enjoyed it quite a bit.  :)

A simple book, but it was a nice little trip to take with the 9th Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack.

This was a fun book; I enjoyed hearing about the small things involved with traveling on a long span of time, to less-common locations, and with less luggage.  The time dedicated to each location seemed a bit uneven and I couldn't always tell how long she had been in a particular place by how long the chapter was.  I also felt that she sometimes was trying a bit too hard to be like Elizabeth GIlbert, and those sections felt awkward and forced -- her own writing style was more enjoyable.

Nice little book with a simple adventure/about taking risks to help a friend.
