When I first started this book, I thought it picked up where Unwind finished off; well, I probably should've read the book blurb, because this book covers the time between Lev leaving CyFi & arriving at his new home at the end of Unwind! Since I didn't get this initially, I spent 58 pages of the book confused; so you know, this book's 60 pages.

Regardless of that, though, I truly enjoyed this book! I remember thinking a huge period of time was left out in Lev's story & this book covers it! We see a part of the Unwind world we didn't know about; the Native American portion, a people who didn't sign the Unwind Act (or whatever it's called), so they aren't forced to Unwind their children.

In fact, in this rez (shorthand for reservation), transplants are innovative (don't want to spill the beans on this part) & the people live a very peaceful existence. Lev's more like his original self in this book as he is before he arrives at New Horizons, but his friend from the rex, Wil, changes. He's talented with the guitar, engaged, & yearning for more outside the rez. Wil's grandfather's important to him, but a situation out of control's made him bitter.

This book's plot's engaging, easy to read, and engrossing. The only reason I didn't read this book in an hour is because I'm a teacher & I'm currently doing my in-service days before school starts (7 hour day instead of 8+ hour day). This book's a great addition to the Unwind world & helps us to understand what this book means to not only teens, but the world.

When reading this, it's easy to see the incredible amount of time that was spent on research.  The authors did a remarkable job of keeping my interest throughout the entire book.  I also found it entertaining that they explained in detail the origins of things (fact or fiction?) that we take for granted everyday - ie. Maxwell House Coffee.  As you read through this, they will become subtly obvious.  I was told by one of the authors that each chronicle was long, but when I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and I was finished with it.  I am eagerly looking forward to the second and third chronicle.  Great job, David & Penelope.

Very engaging and thought-provoking. This book stroked so many chords on me in the right ways! It's a great read and the information is paced very well. I appreciated the vast range of topics covered, as it opened my eyes to new points of view, and even things I wasn't aware of. I truly enjoyed myself and I highly recommend this book.

I am impressed by the perfect blend of instrumentation and narration Steve uses in this piece.  It is evident a lot of time and effort went into research for the project, writing the music, composing the narratives, and pulling it all together with the help of some very excellent musicians.  My personal favorites are 'Poem' and 'Densho'.  Job well done, Steve!

A worthwhile investment of time and money!

I am impressed with the amount of research that went into this story!  The names, 'magic' language, have a true depth of meaning, in some cases multiple levels of meaning.  They are real words, with solid intent behind each.  This is not your run of the mill novel, few authors are able to satisfyingly pull off crescendo after crescendo as Parkinson does!  It does not peak and then wane, but runs from crest to crest without being predictable or stale.  Parkinson's style and depth of writing has grown from the first novel and I eagerly look forward to the next installment!  Bravo!!

If what they say about time and money is true, then this book is worth the investment of both.

True, you can't make more time but you can be deliberate in what you spend it on and WHEN you spend it.

As an example, I finished this book last night, but waited until this morning to write this review.

Why?

I could answer that, but I wouldn't want to take away the fun of reading WHEN from you.

well worth your time!  Does a good job of developing the underlying themes of the books - although i still highly recommend the books!

While incredibly heavy on detail, I found it incredibly engaging.  While the period alone would catch my interest, Rahe adds a wealth of new insight and facts that I truly appreciated.  I did find that it was not always the easiest read.  But overall it was incredibly engrossing.  I was pleasantly surprised that by the end, the topic was completely covered and yet never felt like a pedantic exercise.  Or overly fine tuning something so specific.

Time Management - The Overwhelmed Author has resources that are multitudinous! I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge in this book, PLUS all the other freebie links for the reader's benefit. Actually, I could keep reading stuff from this book well after I have crossed to the "other side!" (Do they READ stuff over there?) Definitely a GO for ANY author.

I bought this book about 4 years ago but I kept putting off reading it due to ... life basically.  I picked it up on Friday night, and I finished it yesterday evening, I couldn't put it down.  I found myself irritated everytime I was interrupted, even if the reason was valid.  This novel is complex and it is NOT for quitters.  You have to be invested in the end (which is totally worth the read) to get through some parts.  As I was reading it, I would have moments where I wondered why we were "wasting" time on defining some of the second string players. and yet later, they became the heart of other stories.

I loved this book and I am invested in completing the series.  I look forward to reading other works by this author.

This book is definitely worth your time before getting in the world of investment.
By far this is the most comprehensive book I have read that combines valuable insight and relevant information.
I got tempted to read the book by the title as I could correlate this to myself. I really wanted to understand the reason behind my decisions for selling low and buying high before I try my luck again in stocks...and I'm glad I did.
After reading the book, I was able to identify the mistakes I've made in the past by not doing my homework before investing.
As someone who knows nothing about investing,the book uses basic vocabulary with real world examples and situations one can relate to.

I highly recommend this book before starting to invest.

The pace of the story, the description of the scenes, the people, All are wonderfully done.

I read this in two days, an easy and fast read, but not for a vacation trip. You'd spent too much time
with the book !!

I cant wait for the next one to come out!, won't say its a must read, but it is money well spent and a
very enjoyable time.

This is definitely one of the better books I've read!  I loved the characters and felt invested in their story.  The plot was very original; an idea I had never heard before.  I spent the entire day with this book and didn't put it down until it was done, something I haven't felt compelled to do for YEARS!!

Get this book!  You won't be disappointed...unless, of course, you are a heartless moron ;)
