I was persuaded to try COLD IRON even though I don't like rock music, don't like urban fantasy, and don't like "private eye" stories...Surprise! This book smashed all those prejudices! I liked the heroine immediately (she's as much of a curmudgeon as I am...and incidentally she hates being called a private eye: it's private INVESTIGATOR). Then the compelling writing and razor-sharp wit kept me reading eagerly to the end. I look forward to the next book by Melisa Michaels no matter WHAT genre it's in!

Everyone who doesn't like this book seems to be offended by its depressiveness or offensiveness or something. If you think life is a romp in the flowers then don't read this book.If, however, you are mature enough to read a book that actually has some unpleasant and uncomfortable elements in it, then you will LOVE She's Come Undone, because it also has funny, insightful, and wonderfully uplifting moments. When I finished the book I felt truly satisfied. Dolores redeems herself and my faith in humanity. This is a beautiful book.And don't blather about "wasting my money on this trash." Check it out of the library.

Very episode like but still good entry

Book 5 in a series of 7. Edmund and Lucy(Peter and Susan don't return in this one) are joined by a rather irritating cousin, Eustace, as they travel into Narnia by a painting. There, they must help King Caspian find his exiled ancestors. There they sail to various islands and its perils, such as the invisible people, an island where water turns everything to gold and where dreams come true. At the end, they reach the end of the world where one of the travellers must go into Aslan's country.While it's told very episode-like like you would see on tv, it's a delightful read and has some great characters

Relato sobrio y una apuesta a la duda.
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Las Piadosas es una novela apasionante, que se desarrolla durante el a?o 1916 en una villa de Ginebra. Andahazi logra una brillante recreaci?n de algunos momentos en la vida de un conocido grupo de la elite intelectual europea, su estilo de vida, sus pasiones y envidias, en una atm?sfera a al vez opresiva y rodeada de erotismo. Es un logro del autor el tratamiento psicol?gico que le da a conocidos personajes como Lord Byron, Mary y Percy Shelley y, especialmente, el de otros no tan conocidos como el doctor Polidori, secretario de Byron. El doctor Polidori, con su carga de envidia, su secreto y sus maquinaciones resulta fundamental en la inesperada resoluci?n del relato. Esta es una novela es muy recomendable para todos aquellos que disfrutamos de un relato sobrio, que pone en duda toda certeza establecida y nos permite el replanteo de ciertas premisas socialmente aceptadas. Realmente este es un libro para leer y releer.
