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.

part of the inspector harry hole series. the book keeps you on the edge of your seat with its intense character driven plot.

I like the book because the pictures tell a lot about the story. Raina is not afraid to do things and figures it out at the end of the story.

It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, dealing with attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, nonchalant attitude from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.

The teacher lock all the school door

I like this book because l like Nancy stories. In this one Nancy has too much clothes but she wants more. This book teaches how to be kind to others. During a " swap-and-shop" at school Nancy wants the same thing like her friend does, but she decides to let her friend have it because she realizes she has so much already.

This is a story about two teenage sisters living in a cult where the people are all brainwashed by a prophet and they believe in polygamy. There is also a global pandemic going on along with a little touch of fantasy splashed in. It's faced paced and held my attention. I recommend this book.

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

John Sanford always writes a good story. In this one Marshall Lucas Davenport & FBI are tasked with investigating who put up a website of Senators kids on the dark web. The website is filled with hate groups like Nazis,KKK stuff & it seems like its promoting killing the kids. The message is directed at people against the government, minorities & religions. A child is shot but not one of the targeted ones. The shooter, Dunn is a lone wolf antigovernment person. Now the hunt for Dunn is escalated & Lucas is tracking down every known home grown terrorist group. Davenport figures out that the website was a publicity hoax by a Senators daughter. Davenport does get the shooter, gets the site shutdown & gets in out in media that site is a hoax to prevent further shootings.

I recommend this book. It is set in the 1950's and is about a Chinese girl adopted at 3 years old into a white family. The story is told from the point of view of the girl and is about her struggle to fit in. There is prejudice that she has to deal with. It was interesting and I enjoyed it.
