Glee Granger has spent the last eight years of her life entirely focused on Sema, a gorilla that Glee has been teaching sign language. Though Sema isn't the first gorilla to use sign language, Glee has pushed their interaction to breakthrough levels. Technically, however, Sema belongs to the zoo where she was born—and the zoo wants its gorilla back. Unwilling to be separated from Sema, Glee joins the zoo staff and sees that it's not as drastic a change as she first thought. That is until a near death experience overturns everything Glee thought she knew about humans and animals, the seen and the unseen, the spoken and the unspoken. Now Glee has become the student and Sema the teacher, but will Glee listen?

Unspoken, by Angela Hunt

From Publishers Weekly What can animals tell us about God? Do animals have souls? The prolific Hunt (author of more than 100 books) offers a compelling story that asks both questions. Sema is a 250-pound western lowland gorilla referred to as "my girl" by 30-year-old Glee Granger, who has raised Sema from a newborn at her home away from the zoo. Glee teaches Sema sign language and hopes to show her how to read, proving that gorillas can assimilate abstract concepts and use their imaginations. Sema's talents cause the director of the Thousand Oaks Zoo in Clearwater, Fla., to demand her return so he can exploit her abilities to help fund zoo projects. Helping Sema's assimilation into the gorilla habitat is "by-the-book" Brad Fielding, a potential romantic interest for Glee. Hunt knows how to craft believable, interesting characters, and readers will find themselves drawn to the lovable Sema, the conflicted Glee and Glee's scripture-spouting "Nana," the proprietor of a Florida motel. The tension accelerates after a near-death trauma, when Sema begins signing to the nonreligious Glee about a "shiny man" who offers insights about God. Hunt handles this unusual and potentially touchy plot development adeptly. The ending may seem abrupt, but the Christy Award–winning Hunt will please many of her faith fiction fans as well as animal lovers with this poignant tale.

14 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Amazing; recommended, but with reservations By James A. White Unspoken was an excellent book, for many reasons. The descriptions of the sign language and the ways Sema, the gorilla, used it were extraordinary. Hunt seems to have research her material well, and she present Glee in a firmly scientific, yet also real, manner. Sema is also characterized quite well. In being able to "speak," she takes on the role of a small child, and an endearing one at that.The plot revolves largely around the zoo that owns Sema demanding her return, and Glee adjusting to a job at said zoo in order to be near Sema and continue her research. Much of the actions in the book come from Glee's maternal determination not to let anyone harm her "girl", and the zoo director's equally strong determination to exploit Sema to enhance the zoo's reputation.The latter third of the book seems somewhat rushed, and the last 20 pages especially so. While Hunt adeptly handles the subject matter of animals and God, she does so quickly, and it seems more of a subplot, instead of the entire plot itself. The subsequent denouement is, as said, especially rushed. The book however does finish well; its ending is the only one that could keep the characters from stagnating in a status quo, and is ultimately satisfying.Bottom Line: Although the end is rushed, and the God plot isn't as strong as it could be, the characterizations and the detail of Sema's learning and personality, as well as the uniqueness of the story, more than make up for any deficiencies. Definitely recommended.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Unbelievably moving By Amazon Customer Unspoken is incredible in subject matter, plot, and Angela Hunt's excellent writing. But what is most remarkable is the humanity AND divinity that is displayed through one of God's dear creatures, a gorilla. This is a fascinating read, both in subject matter, emotional content, and above all, message of hope.

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Refreshing Read By Elizabeth S. Kalman Unspoken caught my attention and had me hooked in the very first scene. The story was fascinating and very believable. I was enchanted with the "voice" of Sema the gorilla. This book is hard to put down! It's a great gift choice with a broad appeal to many readers. A "must read" for animal lovers especially!

The Seventh Son of the Seventh Son is Irish Folklore. This person was thought to have special powers such as healing, seeing the future and changing people's action and attitudes by looking them in the eyes. The fictional character is named Killian O'Rourke, and has come to America against his father's wishes, in order to find his grandfather. He travels to Knoxville, TN in search of him and finds him and his six uncles. His grandfather, Thomas, had no idea he had a seventh grandson by his seventh son, until Killian arrived. His grandfather guides him along his development and use of these gifts, taking extraordinary efforts to keep the populace from finding out who he was. He knew if they did he would be overran by people wanting healing or to know the future or he could be labeled a devil worshipper and hung. One special gift Killian has is the gift of wisdom. He astounds Thomas and his uncles with solutions to their businesses. He meets a red headed Irish girl name Molly, and falls in love. He has some of the usual trials and tribulations of youth and love. Only one uncle knows about him and the rest of them, along with their children, are angered at the special treatment Thomas gives him. The family fortune and three family businesses are left to his six uncles to manage and Killian wonders what will happen to him when Thomas dies.

It works very well to disinfect wounds. Dabbing a little amount with cotton is more than enough to get the micro organisms out. I was surprised by all the different ways hydrogen peroxide can be used. I found the tips very useful in cleaning the glass, carpet and to reduce mold and mildew. I also got creative and sprayed some on ants and totally got rid of them.

Graves' Retreat / Night of Shadows, by Ed Gorman

Review In both style and substance, Gorman's work radiates a profound sense of honesty. His characters can see the worst qualities in others because they've first recognized them in themselves. --Los Angeles Review of BooksAn Ed Gorman Western is more of a historical mystery than anything else. A hardboiled historical mystery at that. --Ben Boulden, GravetappingGorman has honed his craft through the years, but he s been very good for a long time. --Wes Lukowsky, Booklist

About the Author Ed Gorman was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has worked in advertising agencies in several cities large and small, and has been a full-time writer since 1985. Author of more than thirty novels and ten collections of short stories, The Oxford Book of Short Stories noted that his work "provides fresh ideas, characters and approaches." The Rocky Mountain News called him, "The modern master of the lean and mean thriller." Gorman's thrillers include Blood Moon and The Marilyn Tapes. His novel Cage of Night has been lauded by both Gravetapping and Good Reads: "It is truly a classic of the macabre—part mystery, part suspense, and entirely chilling and haunting." Kirkus called Ed Gorman, "One of the most original crime writers around."

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Two Terrific Historical Crime Novels By Benjamin Boulden GRAVES' RETREAT was originally published in 1989 by the long gone Doubleday Western imprint Double D. The year is 1884. Baseball is fashionable across the country, and Cedar Rapids is no different. It has a municipal team providing thrills and trying to keep up with the frequent rule changes—“It was not an easy game to play because the rules kept changing. It was those...Easterners.”The star is a young pitcher and bank teller named Les Graves. Les is building a good life, and would rather keep his past secret. His brother, T. Z., is a professional thief, and a few years earlier Les helped T. Z. rob a bank. Now T. Z. has found Les in Cedar Rapids and wants help robbing Les’ employer. To make matters worse Cedar Rapids is playing the best baseball team in the Midwest—Sterling, Illinois—on July 4th, and Les has a history of nerves. A history that kept him out of the big leagues.GRAVES' RETREAT is everything one expects from an Ed Gorman crime novel—clever, appealing, human, and sharp. The story is awash with blackmail, cold-blooded murder, and romance. Les isn’t a typical, larger-than-life, protagonist. He is scared and lost. He fears losing his Cedar Rapids life, his brother, and terrified of losing to Sterling. There are moments when the outcome, and Les’ role in it, are in doubt, and the climax is unexpected. The prose is Ed Gorman’s usual literate, tender, and tough style. My favorite line is the description of a Sterling pitcher named Fitzsimmons—“He had a shanty-Irish face, which meant he managed to look innocent and mean at the same time, and he had a smile he must have practiced as often as he did his fast ball.”NIGHT OF SHADOWS was originally published in 1990 by Double D. The year is 1894. The Cedar Rapids constabulary is expecting the arrival of an aging former lawman and gunfighter named Stephen Fuller. Fuller is visiting a dying childhood friend, and to avoid any trouble the police chief wants his visit short. A young police matron—“Matrons were not, strictly speaking, constables. True, matrons carried badges, True, matrons had the power to arrest. True, matrons were summoned to impose law and order during times of emergency. But they rarely worked outside the jail and even more rarely participated in the apprehension of criminals.”—named Anna Tolan convinces the boss she is both capable and the best choice to escort Fuller around town. Anna’s job is to keep him out of trouble, but it doesn’t go smoothly. Fuller—an alcoholic and drunken storyteller of the highest order—wanders into a bar, having lost Anna, and finds neck deep trouble. He is the only suspect in the murder of a man who called him a liar (and threw whiskey in his face). He bolts the scene, leaving Anna, who is the only person in town that believes his innocence, to find the real killer, and clear his name.NIGHT OF SHADOWS is something special. It is a police procedural featuring blackmail and murder, but it also has an unexpected element for a Western. A psychopath with a mother complex. It is reminiscent of Robert Bloch’s novel Psycho, and, as Mr. Gorman explains in the Introduction, it is an homage; and one Mr. Bloch approved. It is important to understand it isn’t Psycho set in Nineteenth century Iowa. Instead, it is a procedural with an investigation, which is performed in a manner that fits the era, and the story of a young woman performing what was then a male-only job.The novel’s center is Anna. She is bright and capable. A student of the famous French detective Goron’s methods—careful crime scene examination, interrogation—which she uses to solve the crime. It is also sentimental, tender, and very human. The descriptions of Cedar Rapids are perceptive and bright. Fuller, his life and addictions, is drawn with a tenderness that avoids pity and engenders understanding.

By Allison Bottke I read this book in one long sitting, and I laughed and cried out loud…often.A story of survival, resilience and grace set against the lush and verdant background of the New Orleans French Quarter, Welcome to the Garden Club is a tale about contemporary women of a certain age willing to explore the imperatives of unconditional love, loyalty and friendship—about women gaining strength and discovering love through friends who become family—and about relationships of choice—not chance.Welcome to the Garden Club introduces us to the hubris of youth and the vicissitudes of middle age—and to a group of sometimes catty, but always classy women, who grow stronger through their brokenness—women who learn they gain the most when they have the most to lose—when they learn to love with open arms and hearts—and that in the end, a life well-lived is about the legacy of friendship, generosity, grace, and love we leave behind.

If it was not noted that this was Ms Tilbury's first book, one would not know. The flow of the book is great. This book could be noted as information about New Orleans as the reader could visit the city and take in the events, places to eat and things to do that the women of the book do in their everyday lives. Everything is very true to the city. But what tugs at the heart strings are the events in the lives of the women it is about. The sisterhood of women and how we can count on each other for the good and bad in our lives. This is a book I could not put down and the biggest problem with reading it was seeing through my tears as the year moves on in the book. Read this book...it will make you turn to your friends and tell them you love them.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Special Read By Maribeth Southworth I tire of hearing books hawked on morning shows that I then find not funny or well-written. A publicist often promotes a mediocre book that gets more attention than it deserves.I was thrilled to order this book and find it relevant to my history as a Southerner and my experiences with circles of girlfriends and voluntarism; it spoke deeply to how people choose to live, love and leave. The sad insecurities of one character are trumped by the graciousness and wisdom of another. I found myself trying to steal away to continue reading. The author developed the characters well and left me curious for the next scene.Let's face it: In the end, life is about luncheons, libations, laughter, lessons, lust and love. They're all here. Sweet story.

India has been Independent for just about two decades when a young Bengali boy, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, takes his place within the portals of an ancient school that continues to glorify its colonial past. India is changing and the city that was once the proud capital of a vast Colonial empire is in rapid decline but the school holds out, white and resplendent amidst the surrounding gloom and depredation. Sarat Chandra, cut off from his familiar world, is thrown together with a bunch of boys who hail from diverse backgrounds - Marwaris, Anglo-Indians, Armenians and Muslims. Within the school’s portals he must adapt and conform to its ancient traditions. He finds a new name, makes friends and discovers the first flush of romance but struggles to come to terms with his family’s precarious financial situation, which fuels his inherent anxiety. Much like Sarat Chandra, the city too is grappling to come of age. Mired in post-Independence politics and economic decline, anxiety and gloom has spread through the populace jostling for space in an increasingly crowded and unrelenting city. The elite have taken over the mansions left behind by the colonialists while the poor throng the pavements and empty spaces. Will Sarat Chandra find his place in the city or is he forever doomed to be the outsider, the ‘mofussil’ boy with an identity crisis? This is a story about a generation numbed by the anxiety of the Sixties and the Seventies, about music dying in the bars, entire populations quietly fleeing the city and yesteryear's generation fortifying themselves within anachronistic colonial institutions to hold out against the assaults of change.

Astounding Age By Indywrites This is a novel about a boy, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee finding his place in the world, facing the changes and grasping at what life throws at him. Age of Anxiety is set in the era when our country was still learning and accepting the changes Independence had brought. Sarto, is an only child and this novel takes us from the time he is in school to the time he finds himself at an juncture where he realises that he has finally found a place for himself and what he wants form life. It is also a coming of age story, taking the reader to a bygone era when life was both simpler and difficult at the same time. I have shared a few of the lines that express some of the elements that make this book a good read.“He had to confront the unknown, listen, watch, assess and then act.”It starts off with his experiences at school, an Anglo-Indian School still clinging to its illustrious past. I found reading these like revisiting my own school. There is something comforting yet exciting about school and Indranil depicts it very well. Sarto and his anxiety is what the novel is all about. How he is dictated by his troubles, inadequacies and apprehensions.“Sometimes you should stand up for what is right, even if it means being a bad boy”The part where he is finding his profession, lucky enough to have no pressure to just work but to find his true calling is a lesson. He works his way into writing, finding his calling and a balance between just work and something he is passionate about too.“It was an awe inspiring spectacle of steel and concrete structures reaching out from the bowels of the earth to the sky, a design stolen from some celestial architect and hammered and shaped by humans.” When he visits the Steel factory is my favourite part, it took me to the time I did the project work, factory visits and industrial training for my post graduation. Indranil has written a balanced book highlighting each stage and aspect of Sarto’s life as he yearns to shed his anxiety and trepidation.The language is the biggest pull of this book. The author writes with an exceptional flow, no errors no words that jar or don’t fit in. The language mirrors the age for which the novel has been penned. The author knows his craft and uses this to his advantage. As the book progresses and Sarto ‘grows up’ so does his language and his way of expression. Another thing is that even thought the book uses a few big words, even I had to look up a couple; still the language is easy to understand.I will be honest, a memoir is like reading a person’s life story and unless it is highly embellished with ‘fiction’ or is abput an controversial person it will have some part where you just want to skip through however I can safely say that Age of Anxiety has a flow, a story that unfolds slowly, bit by bit yet kept me interested. At each page Sarto was the kid you wanted to root for and that is what is special about this book. You find a glimpse of your own childhood, teenage or youthful innocence in these pages.“He was not alone with his angst but shared one that throbbed through the arteries of his country.”The time when the Raj Hangover was so strong and Sarto was like the 70’s flower child – smoking, drinking, marijuana/ ganja and that hint of first love. Free yet restrictions of a post colonial India are so well expressed. I found the parts devoted to smoking pot very interesting and detailed; typical of how it is shared and used. How boys bond over something so basic and liberating, no wonder it is still so popular!!The rush of first love and Nayantara; I just loved her name and the changes she brought in Sarto. This was by far one of the absorbing chapters in this book. Just a s their relation changed so did they and I liked the fact that the author gave the requisite importance to ‘first love’ in the final awaking of Sarto as a man who found hid spot under the sun!!“He felt alive, afloat, effervescing and usually breathless.”The book is meant to be savored and read as you reminisce about the golden olden days. A perfect book to revisit those carefree yet anxious days of looking inward and out, searching for the real and true you!(I received a copy of the book from the author for a fair and unbiased review.)

But there never has been a bundle of pages where this phrase takes its true form. Breaking every boundary of genre and rules the author Indranil Banerjee has created a character, Sarat Chandra, who grows before you in this coming to age novel, Age of Anxiety.When the English bid us farewellWhen our dear British rulers bid us adieu, there remained a gap in our society, however peculiar it may sound, but there was group of people who were totally ‘addicted’ to the British way of life. As the Britishers left our country, the elites of every region in India stepped in to fill in the positions left empty upon their departure. Our own personal set of Indian noblemen stepped and formed the first group of Indian Bureaucrats. This story is a window that opens into the both the planes of the society, when class division dominated over caste division.Growing upSet in post-colonial Calcutta, Sarat Chandra Chatterjee grows up with many privileges that many middle class boys of his age were deprived of. But enjoying the privileges that went beyond his family's means also came with a price."Sarat Chandra, unlike his most of his school mates, had seen all this at close quarters for his father never could afford a chauffeur driven car to ferry him back and forth from school. He believed the other boys did not experience similar anxieties because they were shielded by their affluent backgrounds and had no concept of the world beyond the confines of their inviolate environment."When his father lost his job, times were tough for the family and Sarat was almost expelled from the school. However, destiny intervened and he was able to continue his education without any hindrances. At least outwardly.Check the full review @rubinaramesh.com/2015/07/age-of-anxiety-by-indranil-banerjie.html

An insightful read By Geeta WOWS!!The story-line: Interesting, insightful and relatable, the story takes one especially those that were around in the 1960s, down memory lane. The period and those living in the India of those times have been portrayed to perfection. The emotions of Sarto and his buddies, parents as well as other characters who find a place in the story are penned beautifully. One can easily experience their joys, their sorrows and frustrations as the story proceeds. In fact one can feel the story unfold before one’s eyes. The story has its fair measure of humour too. In fact there are places where I could not help laughing out loud.While reading the book I was transported to my childhood, the grand European style building that housed my school and my school-days. The mention of ‘chooran’ brought a smile on my face. It reminded me of the ‘chooran-wala’ who was a permanent feature outside the school gate during recess time.Characterization: Bang on! Each minute detail is presented with perfection making the characters come live before one’s eyes.Language: Crisp and lucid. The author’s strong grip on the language is reflected in each word, each sentence thus adding value to the book.Pace: Perfect. There was not a single moment when I felt I’d like to take a break.

Excerpt from A Hundred and Seventy Chinese PoemsIn making this book I have tried to avoid poems which have been translated before. A hundred and forty of those I have chosen have not been translated by any one else. The remaining thirty odd I have included in many cases because the previous versions were full of mistakes; in others, because the works in which they appeared are no longer procurable. Moreover, they are mostly in German, a language with which my readers may not all be acquainted.With some hesitation I have included literal versions of six poems (three of the "Seventeen Old Poems," "Autumn Wind," "Li Fu jen," and "On the Death of his Father") already skilfully rhymed by Professor Giles in "Chinese Poetry in English Verse." They were too typical to omit; and a comparison of the two renderings may be of interest. Some of these translations have appeared in the "Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies," in the "New Statesman," in the "Little Review" (Chicago), and in "Poetry" (Chicago).About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

19 of 19 people found the following review helpful. Fine collection superseded By A Customer Arthur Waley is the most famous Sinologist this century, the man (other than Ezra Pound) who has done most in bringing Chinese poetry to the fore of Western public. Hence, no matter what, Waley's historical importance cannot be overestimated. And he is a competent all-round translator too, as this fine anthology demonstrates, one who has an uncanny ear of transforming Chinese rhythms and rhymes into naturalized English metrics.Yet in the final analysis, most of Waley's work has been superseded by finer translations from Hinton and Watson. His English now strikes one with a certain archness (if still deceptively simple) which gives a somewhat falsified idea of the Chinese; in Li Po and Tu Fu, for example, his reproduction of their tone is uneven, seldom showing their difference in temperament or use of diction (incidentally, in Chinese one _can_ see the subtle differences in how either works). At times he "stretches out" Tu's metrics, making him less than succinct, or slurs over his use of an image.Yet in his favorite poet Po Chu-I Waley does very well. Here is when his obvious talent in phrasing tastefully does the poet justice. Elsewhere, even if Waley can be faulted here and there, he is still very close lexically to the original.To conclude, Waley's anthology is still worth getting, especially if you enjoy his translations. But supplementing it with either Watson's or Hinton's texts would probably give you a better idea of some poets.

15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. A Sampler of Ancient Chinese Poetry By MDN Kenneth Rexroth cited this book of translations in his "One Hundred Poems from the Chinese" as among a handful that are outstanding sources for those interested in Chinese poetry. I love the directness of the old Chinese poets, particularly their simplicity and accessibility -- at least as they have been translated today by people such as Rexroth. Those same qualities can be found in Waley's translations, where they have a seductively "commonplace" feel that both belies and accentuates their delicacy.What I hadn't been prepared for, however, were Waley's introductory essays which were, like the poetry he translated, direct and unpretentious and , so, wonderfully informative.Waley was one of the very first Westerners to undertake translations of ancient Chinese poetry, so, quite apart from the beauty of his work, he also holds an important position historically. This particular volume was first published in 1919.A very easy and sumptuous read.

12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Refreshing the roots of the mind. By tepi Waley, who was one of the great Sinologists of the twentieth century, translated a wide variety of Eastern works but is perhaps best known for his translations of Chinese poetry. His '170 Chinese Poems,' a book which contains, among other riches, the marvelous poems of T'ao Ch'ien, Po Chu-I, and Wang Wei, has been reissued many times. And although we have seen other very fine translations of Chinese poetry from writers as diverse as A. C. Graham, Kenneth Rexroth, and Gary Snyder, none of them have had the impact of Waley. Chinese poetry, for many, is and always will mean Arthur Waley. His influence has been enormous.I would attribute his success to two things. In the first place, there is the very special quality of his English, a quality impossible to describe. In the second place, Waley was a master at evoking an atmosphere, a feeling tone, that strikes one as authentically Chinese. So good was he at this that one sometimes gets the feeling, as one does when reading the poems of that other remarkable and far greater genius, the poet Emily Dickinson, a woman whose mind also had a very Chinese cast, that they must have been Chinese souls who had somehow strayed and ended up reincarnating in Western bodies.My remark about Emily Dickinson's 'Chinese-ness' may raise some eyebrows. Perhaps it takes a certain amount of exposure to Eastern culture, particularly to Buddhist thought, to see this quality in her, but I find it everywhere. I find it, for example, in lines such as these, slightly adjusted since they should be set out as poetry :"I cross till I am weary / A Mountain - in my mind - / More Mountains - then a Sea - / More Seas - And then / A Desert find -" (J550).It is into this strange dreamscape in which a solitary figure moves through a vast, enigmatic, obstacle-filled, wearying land that, a few lines later, "Asiatic Rains" arrive to work their effect.Perhaps it might not be too fanciful to suggest that the rains from the East which bring relief, and even understanding, to Emily Dickinson's persona in poem J550 can be equated with Waley's poems, poems which drifted through the Chinese sky of his mind to bring something needful to the "Desert" of the modern Western sensibility. Perhaps this was the real reason for his great success - he brought something that was missing from the mechanized and arid Western spirit, something that we all inwardly yearn for that has been lost in the West but that the Eastern tradition can provide in abundance.I don't know, but whatever the case, Waley's Chinese poems do have a truly magical effect on all readers. Once you have been exposed to them you can never forget them.The particular beauty of Waley's style, a style which despite its age still strikes one as modern, can be seen in a poem such as Po Chu-I's 'Passing T'ien-men Street in Ch'ang-an and Seeing a Distant View of Chung-nan Mountain,' a poem which has always been one of my favorites. It reads:"The snow has gone from Chung-nan; spring is almost come. / Lovely in the distance its blue colours, against the brown of the streets. / A thousand coaches, ten thousand horsemen pass down the Nine Roads; / Turns his head and looks at the mountains, - not one man!"Here is the infinitely precious color and marvel of a Nature that is blazing with life and beauty and consciousness, sadly set over against a busy-ness that is also ours, an obsession and total involvement exclusively with people and their multifarious doings that blinds us - a mindset that leads us to overlook the universe, to pass it by like Po Chu-I's horsemen without even noticing it.Waley's Chinese poems captivate us. They are a gentle rain which trickles down to bathe and refresh the roots of our mind. I envy those who are coming to them for the first time.

Something sinister is occurring at the Maharaja Majestic Theater on Broadville Boulevard. The domineering actress, Dominique Darlington, has vanished without a trace, the opening night of the theater’s new production of The Snake Charmer’s Slave is now in jeopardy, and six suspects are about to have the pleasure of meeting Buck Baxter, Private Detective, as he investigates whether there’s a killer on the loose… or a phantom at the opera? Could it be the handsome leading man, Errol Hemingway, who’s responsible for the disappearance of his leading lady… or perhaps it’s that sweet, doe-eyed understudy Olivia Overton? Is it the theater owner himself, the tall and mysterious Raja Khan who has committed the crime… or the show’s investor, the autocratic aristocrat Serafina Somerset? Or is it possible that the meek and mild stage manager Stanley Small, or the flamboyant and frustrated director Barnabas Blake, is guilty? And what of Buck’s romance with playboy millionaire Holden Hart? Will Buck get a backstage pass to access all areas of his one true love… or will this be the final curtain for Buck and Holden? Follow the clues, and you might just solve… the mystery of the disappearing divas!

Great dialogue, fun characters, and the adventure continues By Spifette *** Play Bill ***Cast of Characters – in relative order of appearance or mention:Stanley SmallStella Starling (Asst to Buck)Dominique DarlingtonBarnabas BlakeMahara Majestic (Theater)Holden “Harry” Heart (Buck’s Harry)Buck Baxter~ * ~ I smiled, pulled my suspenders out in a gesture of self-assurance and let them snap back against my chest. Unfortunately, it gave my ass a start and a fart escaped me. ~ * ~That, ladies ‘n gents, is our man Buck, and what you’re in for when you read this second installment in this series. What’s not to love, I ask thee? He had me chuckling from his first scene. Or rather, Knight’s writing by way of the first person voice of PI Baxter had me chuckling from scene one, and many times after.Gumshoe! The single word earned this story a spot on my faves list. Gumshoe FTW! Yes, sometimes it can be that simple, that easy, that fantastic.One of the best things about this story is the expanded role of Stella Starling. She. Is. Fab. Loud, humorous, intelligent, wonderfully direct, and unafraid. She’s wrapped in little package that packs the best of loyal and guffaw-inducing punches. It feels like Knight was chomping at the bit to let her loose on all of us. The energy rises anytime she’s involved in the scene.One of my favorite lines of hers, to Buck:~ * ~ ”Ahh, build a bridge and get over it, toots.” ~ * ~I love you, Stella!This is a highly and easily entertaining mix of mystery, haunted theater (orrrrrr… is it? Dun dun dunnnnn!), the funnies, and well-crafted characters, fully realized while simultaneously allowing me to feel that there is so much more to come. Granted, the mystery itself is part run of the mill, part clever, part backdrop for the characters, but it fits the tone and time period.The relationship between Harry and Buck is… well, it’s complicated, for a lot of reasons. They’re now having to navigate this life together (orrrr… are they? Dun dun dunnnnnn!) after surviving the challenges of book one, “Buck Baxter, Love Detective”.You wouldn’t necessarily have to read book one before diving into this, but you would miss some of the reasons behind the tension and difficulties Buck and Harry are working through.Lest you think this gem is without passion, pain, and heart…~ * ~ It was cold but I didn’t give a damn because as I raised my collar and headed into the downpour, I knew nobody could see my tears. ~ * ~Yeah. Exactly. I’d want to know why Buck was saying that and feeling that way, too. I’d need to find out.Gutted. So good.With excellent pacing, punchy dialogue and snappy prose, emotional signposts that kept me reaching for more, and characters I’d gleefully spend time with on any day and twice on Wednesdays (yeah, you read that right), this story gets two thumbs up with a twist and some sparkle. Smoothly written with a brash bit of modernity surrounded by that which is early 20th century cool, along with realistic personal struggles and gorgeously adult cussing, I kinda sorta no doubt about it couldn’t get enough.Next up: Buck Baxter and the Magician’s Maze. I’ll be there!PS: Now that I’ve read this, the title gave me yet another extended chuckle, one of many.* Originally reviewed for Prism Book Alliance

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. He’s struggling with being in love with a guy who for some reason is suddenly ... By It's About The Book I remember liking the first one but not really loving it. After reading this installment I have to say that if book 3 was available to me I’d read it right away. Book 1 seemed to set up the story, this one exposes some intriguing layers to Buck Baxter and the world he’s living in. The romance between Harry and Buck is in trouble because of Harry’s dad. Parts of Buck’s life he never really cared to know about have become entwined. He’s struggling with being in love with a guy who for some reason is suddenly pushing him away. So many more interesting plot points in this one which makes me happy.Buck is still a detective who needs to work, so when his extremely mouthy and former prostitute assistant knocks on his door at an ungodly hour to tell him about a new job, he really can’t say no. An actress who has the lead role in a local theater production has gone missing. The owners want to keep this out of the press as much as possible so they hire Buck to solve the mystery before opening night.This book was pretty damn funny. The characters are fun with some bordering on outrageous but that just makes for a fun read if you ask me. It’s not too much. Just enough to set the tone and liven up the story. The assistant Candy kills me. She’s totally obnoxious but hilarious. I really didn’t know who the baddie was throughout the story. There were so many plausible possibilities presented I was wondering until the end. Harry kind of pissed me off in this one. Poor Buck is totally in love with him but Harry doesn’t seem to be as willing to jump all in. I’m sure the reasoning will be further explored in future books because the one reason he gave just intrigued me more. I want answers damn it! It can’t just be about money and social standing. Harry doesn’t seem that shallow. The vague blind pot dealing future reading woman is back and she’s as confusing as ever. I kept trying to decipher her prophecy but couldn’t come up with much. I’ll have to go back after the next book and reread it to see how it fits.Basically this one was a much meatier read IMO. There’s another mystery to solve, a continuing but troubled love story and plenty of humor. But there’s also more to the characters stories than I originally thought. Something shady is going down in Wilde City and Buck and Harry are right in the middle of it. I’m looking forward to reading about how they work it out. Hopefully together.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wild about Wilde City By PansyPetal Sam Spade meets Phantom of the Opera in Sin City. How about that for a combination? Add to that the GLBT aspects of the story and well, the recipe makes for a slightly different reading experience.This story takes place in an imaginary Wilde City and features the intrepid Private Detective, Buck Baxter, during an era reminiscent of the roaring twenties. Think prohibition, gin joints, and opium dens. Wilde City is much as the name implies. Wild!Buck Baxter? He is a most interesting character. One of those anti-hero type heroes. I am not sure whether to like him or not. He is a bit of a slob who pretty much lives in his office, not because he is that ambitious or busy, but because he doesn’t want to pay rent on an apartment – mostly because he can’t afford it. He has some interesting habits – like gin and pot – surpassed only by his even more “interesting,” if dubious, friends(?). But, he has a soft heart under all that hard core that can be broken.Then there is his “assistant,” Stella. Three feet tall with a mouth a sailor would blush at. How she became his assistant is another story – Buck Baxter, Love Detective in fact. Yes, I really think you need to read that first. That is where most of the character and world building happened. Although this is a new mystery to solve, you will want to read the first book to know who is who in the zoo.I was pleasantly surprised at the roller-coaster of emotions I experience as I read this. This is obviously a spoof, but I still experienced the highs of happiness and the lows of despair, with some side trips to eye-rolling humor and spine-tingling suspense. Not bad for a short little tongue-in-cheek mystery story.This author can be hit or miss for me. This series is a hit. I look forward to another Buck Baxter mystery in the future.I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

At the foot of the Continental Divide, rancher Frank Redmond struggles to maintain his land amidst the bleakness of Depression-era Montana. Married but childless, Frank’s wondering if the long-term future of the ranch is worth the effort. For that matter, he’s considering much the same about his wife Abby.

When a stray dog wanders onto the ranch, Frank’s first impulse is to shoot it as vermin. Abby and Clay, Frank’s father, insist on adopting the mutt, naming him Stranger.

For Frank, it’s both the last straw and a convenient excuse. He parlays his skill as a stone carver into a job at Deer Lodge state prison, fifty miles from home. There he labors over a headstone for the warden’s terminally ill wife.

When he finally returns home, he finds Stranger more a member of the family than himself. Frank needs to regain his family’s trust and prove himself. To do so, he’ll need to emulate the dog he once considered killing.

A pensively introspective but hard-hitting read, Stranger’s Dance delves into the challenges and desperation of Montana ranch life in the 1930s and how animals can prove the catalyst for human healing.

Stranger's Dance, by Troy Kechely

From the Back Cover The damn dog was the last straw.   Ranching in the shadow of the Continental Divide won't make a man rich, particularly in Montana during the 1930s. Frank Redmond's been doing what he can to get by, but with no children he has to question why he should bother with the long-term future of his land.   When the dog shows up, Frank has no use for it--strays are pests, to be shot like any other vermin. His wife and father disagree, taking the mongrel in and naming it Stranger.   That's it as far as Frank's concerned--he leaves both ranch and family to work as a stone carver. When he finally returns home, he finds himself unwelcome and mistrusted. If he wants to reconcile with his family, Frank's going to have to prove his worth to them--and to a protective, loyal dog named Stranger.

He has written short stories and poems about the bond humans and dogs share for Dog and Kennel Magazine, numerous newsletters, and canine rescue websites.

Kechely currently resides in Bozeman, Montana, with his two rescue Rottweilers, Bradum and Carly.

Frank has a gift for the former, but to say he struggles a bit with the latter would be an understatement. Relationships are at the heart of Stranger's Dance. When we let those important, permanent things go, we threaten the other good things in our lives as well.Frank's life is hard enough, and when a straggly stray mutt comes along, to Frank it's just another mouth to feed. "Stranger", as he comes to be called, plays an important role in Frank's growth back to emotional wholeness. But to say that this is "a book about a dog" would be only tangentially correct. It would be like saying "Searching for Bobby Fischer" was "a movie about chess" or "Moneyball" was "a movie about baseball". It is instead, a well-written story with fully-developed characters that pulls you into its time and place - my favorite kind of story.A paraphrase, but I loved this line: "We put up monuments, not for the one who passed on, but as a permanent reminder to those still here." Stranger's Dance reminds us that no matter how hard life gets, some things were meant to last forever, and we must carry on and protect those things above all else.

The author gives the reader a true feel for the hardships of ranching in rural Montana during the aftermath of the Great Depression and knowing that Mr. Kechley grew up in that area, it has the feel of authenticity, perhaps from family stories about the 'old days' he heard while growing up. Though it is never implicitly stated what breed of dog Stranger is, little hints are dropped here and there and it eventually becomes clear that he is a Rottweiler. While this doesn't really impact the story in any way, it just tickled me as the Rottweiler is my breed of choice and I can easily imagine that the heroic actions attributed to Stranger exactly portray the characteristics of the breed. I recommend it for teens and up---there are parts about the human relationships that might be a bit confusing for the younger reader.

The descriptions of the people and place were happily familiar to me By Nicole Cohn For anyone who has ever driven past an old ranch site and wondered about the lives of the people that once lived there, this book would be for them. The descriptions of the people and place were happily familiar to me. The time period was also an experience. The shifting point of view was interesting, leading me to take sides in the family drama. I was expecting more of Stranger's point of view, and it would have been welcomed. I would recommend this book to dog lovers and anyone interested in Montana or historical fiction.

From the Edgar Award-winning, internationally bestselling British writer Robert Goddard comes a captivating new trilogy of historical thrillers, set at the tail end of World War I and featuring the devilishly charismatic James “Max” Maxted, a Royal Flying Corps veteran who has a hard time keeping himself out of trouble.Four years of horrific fighting have finally ended on the battlefield, but in the spring of 1919, Paris is filled with delegates from around the world who are still trying to hammer out the terms of peace. One such delegate is British diplomat Sir Henry Maxted, in charge of liaising with the Brazilians regarding seized ships. But before a deal is reached, Sir Henry turns up dead outside a Montparnasse apartment building, apparently having fallen from the roof. His sons Max and Ashley are sent to Paris to collect the body, and it quickly becomes clear that the theory the French police have put forward is flawed. But since the murder of a diplomat could be disastrous for the peace conference, no one is keen to ask questions—except Max.What begins as an innocent inquiry into his father’s death soon leads Max into a dangerous world of secret allegiances, international espionage, and people double-crossing each other at the highest levels of government. How far is he willing to go to discover the truth about the death of a father he barely knew? And how much will the authorities—and others—let him find out before threatening Max’s own life?

The Ways of the World: A James Maxted Thriller, by Robert Goddard

Review “Former Lt. James (Max) Maxted, the dashing protagonist of Robert Goddard's historical espionage thriller . . . is a refreshing throwback to an earlier romantic tradition of heroes . . . A rip-roaring adventure . . . Paris in 1919 is a snake pit of spies, counterspies, traitors and turncoats—just the setting for this convoluted tale . . . We’re sure to see this charismatic chap again in what the author promises will be a trilogy of high-action adventures.”—New York Times Book Review“Wildly entertaining . . . Goddard has long been one of the genre’s cleverest plotters and most accomplished prose stylists . . . Goddard assembles around Max as savvy, as well spoken, and as treacherous a band of double-dealing con artists as we’ve seen since Caspar Gutman, Joel Cairo, and Brigid Shaughnessy joined forces to hunt a black bird.”—Booklist (starred review)“Goddard paints the Paris of that era with sure strokes.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Robert Goddard is the master of complex, tricky thrillers that dazzle with surprises. . . Another stellar performance.”—Sydney Morning Herald“Enjoyable . . . Goddard evokes time and place with an expert hand . . . Fans of period mysteries set in times of historical transition will be satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly“[Goddard is] still producing the riffs on historical crime fiction that are his sweet spot, but his new book's absorbing language and artful depictions of physical locations, along with a plot that falls somewhere between Georges Simenon and Graham Greene, should keep readers rapt . . . A sly, highbrow take on the espionage thriller with a rich background that lends sophistication to an already opulent story.”—Kirkus Reviews“Dashed good yarn-spinning. . . . The action is insistent and often deadly.”—Toronto Star“Cleverly plotted . . . there is plenty here to keep the pages turning . . . Most of all, it is exceptionally well written.”—Reviewing the Evidence

About the Author Robert Goddard is the Edgar Award-winning, internationally bestselling author of Long Time Coming, Into the Blue, which won the first W H Smith Thumping Good Read Award, and Past Caring. He read history at the University of Cambridge and lives in Cornwall.

11 of 13 people found the following review helpful. The first book of a trilogy. By J. Lesley I was enjoying reading this novel when I began to realize I was coming to a point when the number of pages left was really going to push the author to come up with plausible endings for all the plot lines he had developed. Finally I turned a page and came upon the dreaded "to be continued". Well, at least I got an answer of sorts.Would I have selected this novel if I had known it was the first part of a trilogy? I have to say I probably would have because nothing says an author can't tie up any number of plot threads and still have material to carry over into a second or even third book. Unhappily for me, this was my first Robert Goddard book to read and finding so many issues remaining unresolved did not leave enough of a good impression to make me anxious to read the second book, much less the third. I enjoyed the atmosphere Goddard created with Paris in 1919 with all the political maneuvering around the peace conference to settle World War I territorial disagreements. The combination of having James "Max" Maxted become involved in solving the questions he had concerning the death of his father and finding himself embroiled in a spy plot added great dimension to the novel. Those elements are what allowed me to assign this first novel in the set a 4 star rating. Now that I know how many novels are required to tell this story I can look back and see much foreshadowing of where Max will probably go to finish his adventure. Some of the characters are a little too good and others are too bad, but once again, knowing now that there are three books required to finish this story, maybe those 'goods' and 'bads' will be expanded and changed over the course of the other two books. I don't know and, quite frankly, I'm not hooked enough to want to find out.If you are interested in reading all three books at one time, book two has already been released and book three will be available in the summer of 2015.I received an e-ARC of this novel through NetGalley.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The Ways of the World By J. Hamby While I knew it was the first book in a series, I thought it would have more resolution than it did. Which I found a bit odd.Goddard takes way too long to actually get into the thrills of this thriller. It gets tangled in wordy, for me meaningless, tangents that never seem to do much other than establish who certain characters "are". Telling us instead of really showing us through interaction that has any substance.Just when it finally picks up somewhat it careens to a too abrupt ending that simply says "but another book to find out where this goes".And maybe some of this would have been mitigated if the main character didn't seem a too polished piece of perfection. So much that I felt that the author was engaging in a bit too much wish fulfillment in regards to identifying with the lead.Not sure I would read the second book but not completely ruling it out since I am curious about things that happen almost on the last five pages. Much more than anything in the hundreds that came before.

Best Ebook Online Transforming Homosexuality: What the Bible Says about Sexual Orientation and Change, by Denny Burk, Heath Lambert

Embrace the Bible's Hope for Profound Personal Change Is same-sex attraction sinful, even if it’s not acted on? Bible-believing Christians have personal and pastoral reasons to answer this question well, since our answer will shape how we counsel and encourage our brothers and sisters. What does it mean for homosexuality to be transformed? Denny Burk and Heath Lambert challenge misconceptions on all sides as they present biblical answers on sexual orientation and change. Ultimately, hope rests not in heterosexuality, human effort, or willpower, but in Christ. “A clear, compassionate, and thought-provoking book. . . . Essential reading for every pastor and for any seeking to bless and minister to those with same-sex attraction in our churches.” —Sam Allberry, Author, Is God Anti-Gay? “[Many] have adopted the position that homosexual desire may in some sense be ‘normal.’ . . . Denny Burk and Heath Lambert address that idea with biblical clarity and godly wisdom. This is an important book about an issue that has overwhelmed our culture.” —John MacArthur, Pastor and Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California “A bold and provocative book. . . . But predominantly a loving book that seeks to help people with unwanted homosexual desires be transformed by the full knowledge that God’s grace for us in Christ is sufficient for all our various struggles.” —Rosaria Butterfield, Author, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert Denny Burk (PhD, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary [SBTS]) is professor of biblical studies at Boyce College and has served as the editor of The Journal for Biblical Manhood & Womanhood. He blogs at dennyburk.com. Heath Lambert (PhD, SBTS) is executive director of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors and professor of biblical counseling at SBTS and Boyce College.

Transforming Homosexuality: What the Bible Says about Sexual Orientation and Change, by Denny Burk, Heath Lambert

Review "Denny Burk and Heath Lambert have written a clear, compassionate, and thought-provoking book on how the gospel brings transformation to those struggling with homosexuality. Our hope is not the heterosexuality-or-bust shtick of reparative therapy, but the wondrous prospect of growing in holiness and Christlikeness that comes through repentance and faith. This is essential reading for every pastor and for any seeking to bless and minister to those with same-sex attraction in our churches." --Sam Allberry, Associate Minister of St Mary's Church, Maidenhead UK; author of Is God Anti-Gay? and James For You"In Principles of Conduct, John Murray reminds us that 'the line of demarcation between virtue and vice is not a chasm but a razor's edge.' In Transforming Homosexuality, Denny Burk and Heath Lambert shine scholarly and pastoral light on that razor's edge, helping Christians to discern the difference between sexual temptation and sexual lust as it bears on same-sex attraction. This is a bold and provocative book. It will also likely be a controversial book. But it is predominantly a loving book that seeks to help people with unwanted homosexual desires be transformed by the full knowledge that God's grace for us in Christ is sufficient for all our various struggles and sins." --Rosaria Butterfield"Under pressure from worldly trendsetters, many in the church (including several key evangelical leaders) have adopted the position that homosexual desire may in some sense be normal. Homosexual acts are sinful, they say, but a homosexual orientation is not inherently unrighteous. In Transforming Homosexuality, Denny Burk and Heath Lambert address that idea with biblical clarity and godly wisdom. This is an important book about an issue that has overwhelmed our culture." --John MacArthur

16 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Is Sexual Orientation Sinful? By Jim Hamilton Christians are wrestling with how to respond to the moral revolution taking place around us, and we are forced to deal with questions like this one: can a sexual orientation be sinful? That is to say, if all sexual activity outside of what takes place within a marriage covenant between one man and one woman is sin, does this also mean that being oriented toward a desire for something other than that is also sin?The discussion of these topics provided by Lambert and Burk is the most important place for Christians to start because their answers to these questions are faithful to Scripture, grounded in historic Christian orthodoxy, and optimistic because of the overwhelming grace of the Lord Jesus.Anyone looking for answers should start with this book. Anyone looking for hope will find it here.

5 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Powerful hope for change, but a too-broad understanding of sin By Paul Mastin An amazing revolution in society and the church has taken place over that last few decades. Homosexuality, including homosexual marriage, has been normalized and accepted to a degree no one could have anticipated a generation ago. The church, as a whole, has been slower to accept homosexuality as acceptable behavior than secular society, but condemnation of homosexuality as sin is becoming rarer.Denny Burk takes Christian talk about homosexuality beyond behavioral and ethical questions. In Transforming Homosexuality: What the Bible Says about Sexual Orientation and Change, Burk argues that Christian teaching on homosexuality is too focused on behavior, and not focused enough on orientation. That homosexual behavior is sinful is a given for Burk. He points out that many churches that still agree that homosexual acts are sinful will grant that homosexual orientation is not, in itself, sinful, and that many who identify as gay choose to live celibate lives but are still homosexual.Burk takes what I thought was a common, widely accepted view of temptation--that being tempted is not a sin, it's acting on the temptation that is a sin--and turns it around. He aims to "establish from Scripture that desires for a sinful act are sinful precisely because the desired act is sinful." He "carefully define[s] same-sex attraction and show[s] from the Bible why it is sinful." I agree with him that the goal of the Christian life is holiness, and that we all have a sin nature. I'll even buy his assertion that homosexuality is outside of God's design, celibate or not. But he seems to go way to far in naming temptation or desire itself as sin.On the plus side, Burk's concern is for those who are tempted by homosexuality. Churches have approached homosexuality as an ethical question, not as much as a pastoral question. All Christians are called to pursue purity and holiness. All sins require repentance. And all of us can change: "The same power that Jesus had to be restore to life is the same power that Christians have for moral change." What a great reminder. It's a powerful truth in an otherwise unnecessarily broad understanding of sin.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great book on a neglected topic By andreis Great book. Concise, clear, compassionate and Christ-centered. I have read several books that focus on the ethics of homosexuality without: 1) analyzing the concept of same sex desire or attraction from an in-depth biblical standpoint and 2) without offering hope for change and some practical steps towards change. This book deals specifically with these two issues and the authors do a very good job in presenting their arguments and their biblical foundations for their position. I wish they would have talked a bit more about the way in which Christians can practically apply 1 Cor. 10:13, a passage that they mention in passing but they don't analyze in depth how Christians can control their desires in such a way that they won't sin.Overall though a great book for any type of reader. It's worth your time and money to buy it and read it.
