Horror : Young female police must help hunt down vampires. Multiple people are turned and our heroine must avoid joining them. Recommend

I have come to really enjoy Henry’s books when I need a lighter read that still has some real substance. This was truly a good book about two people who love each other but can’t get out of their own way to be together. My only problem was that, as a non-linear novel, both the current events and past events both contained dialogue, which, since I did it as an audio book, I felt made it harder to keep track of the time frame than if only the current time has the dialogue.

Novella in which Harry Dresden helps a former criminal go straight.

Beautiful, heartbreaking story

What an interesting book! On the surface it is a story about a mother troubled by many ailments, many of which no one can seem to diagnose, that result in her not being able to walk all the time. She and her adult daughter, who has put her life on hold to care for her, leave England and go to Spain to see a doctor who may be able to help her. But this book is really about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and about people coming to terms with themselves. But what really makes this book special is the writing which is so descriptive and engaging in a way I have not found before in a book. A definite must read.

Fun colors (and shades) to learn, tabs to pull, familiar objects to point to (and eventually name), we highly recommend this book. Loved it as a board book in late infancy and well into the toddler years.

Compelling, sad, informative. An excellent book even for people who usually bounce off non-fiction. But not a cheery time, I wouldn't lie to you!

In my opinion, this was a terrible book and after I finished it and saw that it was a book of some acclaim, I was shocked. The writing is very stiff though that may be because it is told by the central character who comes across as a socially and psychologically disturbed person. The way I read it, his behaviors and thoughts are supposed to be considered normal but come across very damaged. He doesn’t care if he loses his job, gets married or not, or even goes to jail. I just could not get past the disturbed behavior in this book.

This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

Nice little book illustrating and explaining different ways to make and maintain friendships. Started some good conversations with my almost 5 year old
