This is just a joy to read, and one where you can tell the author truly loves their characters and the world they're set in. It's vivid and sharp, in a way that hearkens back to Daughter of Smoke & Bone.

Although this may be a simplier plot than usual for Ann McCaffrey, it is in perfect tune with the story thus far and an absolute joy to read.  I am looking forward to the next part in these characters lives.  These two authors complement each other wonderfully!  It is so refreshing to read a great story that adults and children alike can relate to and enjoy.

I really loved to read this book. It is such a joy in every respect. It is at the same time easy to read and intelligent. It has things to say of tremendous value. It has a beautiful lay out and design. It has only necessary words. It is short and full of contents.
A must for every one having somehow to do with the creation of the web and for everyone who just wants to have a good time reading.

This book is simply fun to read. I can't remember when I've read anything as delightful. I can recommend it to virtually anyone, of most any age, gender, or interests. It is fun as an adventure story. It is inspiring in that we have heroes challenging oppressors/villains. It is set in a fascinating historical setting, the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the Spanish Empire in the New World. And we can feel good about our enjoyment because it is so well-written and imaginative too. Good literature doesn't have to be dull! I have heard of Allende for years but this is the first book of hers I have read. I look forward to more. This is a very contemporary telling of the origin of Zorro, focusing on his childhood and his "education" as a young man in Spain. It is also about "brotherhood," which includes his "milk brother" Bernardo as well as his relationship with the de Romeu sisters and with a band of Gypsies. Jean Lafitte makes a surprise appearance too!

I read the "Rivers of London" books as soon as they hit the stands. Its just the perfect pleasurable read: a set of somewhat madcap romps including police work, supernatural wizardry, boy-meets-girl (or boy-meets-river?), and a lot of cultural insights into London. Oh, and of course, you also get some baseline education on various ancient and not-so-ancient London rivers....All that, plus a really sparkling and witty writing style.

As time goes on, the strict "plot" has mattered less to me, and the pleasure of Aaaronovich's turn-of-phrase and social commentary has increased. On those bases alone, I felt disappointed when i got to the end, only because its just so much fun to savor.

This goes for the plot too; clearly we're being "set up" for the next in the series, and that's just great (at least that's hopefully a guarantee there's more coming) but i felt just a slightest bit short-sheeted, as I stared at my kindle in disbelief at the end and searched frantically for the next 50 pages...

More, please

This book is a joy to read--you can flip through any chapter and actually feel like you have a "gist" of the topic down-pat. I tend to skip around, but it doesn't matter--it's fun, engaging, and Frame's explanations and summaries are just so helpful for such a vast topic. I really appreciate this work the most, out of all the work he's done before. I think honestly, every layperson and church leader should own a copy of this and read it. There's just so much here.

I can relate so much with this author that it's like reading a letter from my best friend, it's so funny and exciting at the same time.

Just a delightful book--reading it is a pleasure; now I need for the 100-plus degree weather to cool down a bit before heading back into the kitchen.

I just really enjoy this series. It is so much fun! Jennifer Beckstrand's writing style is very down-to-earth and readable and she has a knack for brilliantly interspersing quirky characters and laugh-out-loud funny moments with deep emotions, caring communities, and spiritual truths. When I'm reading one of these books, my little ones (ages 2, 5, 8, and 11) beg me to tell them all the funny parts. We have laughed till we cried at the dinner table over some of the antics of the characters in this series.

This book was different than the previous ones in that the people being matched by Felty and Anna Helmuth, who, by the way are the most adorable, hilarious, and loveable 80-year olds in literature, already know each other and are deeply in love. They were engaged until Felty and Anna's grandson Ben broke things off and moved away eight months ago without giving any explanation to anyone. Anna contrives a way to bring him back to town by scheduling poor Felty for a surgery he doesn't need and begging Ben to come and help his poor grandfather out while at the same time convincing Ben's ex-fiancee to come and help her grow a giant pumpkin.

Many hijinks ensue, as is always the case in these books, but in the end, the truth comes out and some deep spiritual truths are learned. I don't want to give anything away, but I really appreciated that this book shows how real love doesn't fear the long haul or the valleys that will come but rather rejoices that the valleys can be walked through together.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book. Lucy March is a delightful writer, providing laugh out loud moments alongside poignant counterpoints. It's thoughtful without being angsty, it's clever and witty, and a real pleasure to read. In fact I put it down to write this, so if you'll excuse me, I have a book to finish reading...

This book is so much fun and at such a great price.
