This richly detailed realistic fiction moves quickly through the life of the main character, Sam Hill. The character driven novel brings to light everyday human struggles and the interesting interplay between characters that result. The indomitable strength of the human spirit and the ageless question of faith are woven throughout the novel. The question of what is an exceptional life is a key thread throughout.

A story was easy to read and very interesting. Olaf was reading books in the library for other kids and the library was full of people.

Could not put it down. Excellent

Kinsey Millhone is a young private investigator who is looking into a suspicions fire claim. This leads to evidence planted by various enemies, that implicate her in the crime. Good story line and fast moving pace.

This book is easy to read and I learned that fireflies have a bright light inside them that shines.

Excellent mystery. Has you guessing till the end.

fast pace read. cross over character from her other books.

This book was a little absurd. I don't typically read sci-fi that involves an entirely new universe and various alien creatures, so maybe it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy many aspects of this story. Chambers created an entire universe with new creatures, social structures, and cultures. From a sociological perspective, it was fascinating. The relationships between the characters were definitely the most intriguing part of this book. The plot itself left a lot to be desired. It truly was about the journey and not the destination. If you enjoy world building and escaping into complex relationships between various species, then this book is for you. However, if you like an adventure story driven more by plot, you may want to look elsewhere.

I like this book. It is funny!
