Book Description

They say there are only two things you can count on ...

But that was before DEATH started pondering the existential. Of course, the last thing anyone needs is a squeamish Grim Reaper and soon his Discworld bosses have sent him off with best wishes and a well-earned gold watch. Now DEATH is having the time of his life, finding greener pastures where he can put his scythe to a whole new use.

But like every cutback in an important public service, DEATH's demise soon leads to chaos and unrest -- literally, for those whose time was supposed to be up, like Windle Poons. The oldest geezer in the entire faculty of Unseen University -- home of magic, wizardry, and big dinners -- Windle was looking forward to a wonderful afterlife, not this boring been-there-done-that routine. To get the fresh start he deserves, Windle and the rest of Ankh-Morpork's undead and underemployed set off to find DEATH and save the world for the living (and everybody else, of course).

After nicking the title of repo man, quite cleverly. Death is the star of this novel. The Auditors get a little unhappy with him and his increasing independence, which they see as a threat.

He ends up going to work on a farm, which is really pretty funny. When the whole Death role gets messed up, he has to fight to get his old job back.


5 out of 5 stars "Paper or Plastic?".......2007-08-23

Imagine, for a second, this reviewer's bookshelves. Let your eye wander; there's the hardcovers, the Vonnegut collection, Asimov heaped carelessly near the top, next to a carelessly tossed collection of old batteries. And there's the Pratchett collection, book after book dealing with the delightfully organic and weird universe of the Discworld. All of the paperbacks are worn from use, but two stand out: Small Gods, which is waterlogged from being dropped in water, stained from coffee, and so helplessly battered that the front cover has fallen off, and Reaper Man, which isn't much better.

Reaper Man is obviously one of my favorite books in the Discworld trilogy. It was also the first: I randomly picked it up around the age of fifteen or so at an airport, because the cover intrigued me. (I possess what looks like th English version, with various characters parading across the cover on and around Death's horse: the black hardcover shown on Amazon looks nice, but the new bland paperbacks being issued now of this one are awful.) Suffice to say, I was immediately hooked, and what a book to start off with when it comes to an introduction to this series. It's held up well.

When we get down to the facts, this is a DEATH novel. In the Discworld, the reaper man has slowly become a full-fledged character, and because he's no longer just an abstract concept, he suddenly decides he doesn't want to do it anymore. (Existential psychosis: the bane of all thinking creatures.) Suffice to say, the powers that be are not happy, and they set out to make things right. Along the way, a recently deceased wizard who gets a second shot at life has to figure out, along with some very entertaining friends, on what exactly is happening with all this 'unreaped' life around...

This is primarily a book about redemption, the second chance, and what it means to be human. If you read this book and want to learn more about the character of death, here is his serial arc in terms of book titles, although, honestly, it's OK to start with Reaper Man:

ERIC , REAPER MAN , SOUL MUSIC , HOGFATHER

He also, of course, shows up quite regularly in other books as a special sort of cameo. Happy reading, I hope this review was helpful to you.

5 out of 5 stars Another satirical success.......2007-07-12

Continuing his successful Discworld series, Terry Pratchett's "Reaper Man" is yet another example of why the author is so widely loved. The premise of "Reaper Man" is that Death himself learns he is about to die, and decides to go on vacation and experience life for his remaining days. This complicates things for the living, especially those who were supposed to die, such as the oldest wizard, Windle Poons. The resulting story is funny and well-crafted, and Pratchett demonstrates again an amazing talent for creating interesting characters. The novel moves along smoothly and is consistently witty and clever. Though "Reaper Man" becomes slightly more confusing and harder to grasp towards the end, the writing is still fraught with humor and Pratchett uses his combination of fantasy and satire with near perfect results. Fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy this addition, and shouldn't be surprised if they finish with their cheeks sore from laughter.

Read the other reviews for the deep analysis, but this review is just a "trust-me-on-this-one" recommendation. You simply NEVER regret buying this book EVER. Read it, and you'll know why.

4 out of 5 stars A nice little book.......2007-06-28

_Reaper Man_ by Terry Pratchett is a Discworld novel, and a very nice way to pass an afternoon.

There are a number of plots and subplots going on within _Reaper Man_, but the title plot (if you want to call it that) concerns the death of Death. The universal auditors decide that it is entirely unacceptable that Death has started to acquire his own personality, since personalities tend to create chaos and unexpected events, which is completely against the order of the universe.

Therefore, Death is given his very own hourglass showing the sands of his life, and is sent out to live his last few days in retirement. This story arc is very well done, and we follow death as he begins to understand what it is like to be human and to know that no matter what you do, one day there won't be any time left.

On a separate (but related) story arc, we meet Windle Poons, a wizard at the university of Ankh-Morpork, who is approaching his last days. However, with Death having been put into involuntary retirement, and the auditors having not hired his replacement yet, Windle finds that he cannot die. He and his colleagues try mightily to kill him, but without success. Along the way, Windle Poons discovers how to actually LIVE, and finds that being Windle Poons is quite a bit more meaningful and fun than he realized while he was still alive.

One of the amazing things about Pratchett's books are his asides on philosophy and sociology that are woven into his books, which you don't even expect until you come across them. In _Reaper Man_, we are treated to a meditation on the nature of belief, and belief being capable of creating the thing it believes in out of sheer need to exist; a question about what happens when you have too much life floating around and what things might come alive when Death isn't there to take care of making sure everything dies; a clear criticism of malls and a (probably true) metaphor of malls as parasites that kill cities; and a couple of discreet pokes at managerial and bureaucratic types that take themselves and their positions too seriously.

All in all, a very good book, but I am only giving it four stars as I thought the whole snowglobe-as-eggs story arc took way too long to develop and the end of that arc felt a bit rushed. Still, a very good book, and one I'd recommend to almost anyone.

5 out of 5 stars Can Death die?.......2007-02-05

Picture an enormous room chock-full of hour glasses (one with your name on it):

"...Add the sharp clicking of bone on stone, getting closer.

"A dark shape crosses the field of vision and moves up the endless shelves of sibilant glassware. Click, click. Here's a glass with the top bulb nearly empty. Bone fingers rise and reach out. Select. And another. Select. And more. Many, many more. Select, select. [Whew, the dark shape passed by the one with your name on it!]

"It's all in a day's work. Or it would be, if days existed here.

"Click, click, as the dark shape moves patiently along the rows.

"And stops.

"And hesitates.

"Because here's a small gold timer, not much bigger than a watch.

"It wasn't there yesterday, or wouldn't have been if yesterdays existed here.

"Bony fingers close around it and hold it up to the light.

"It's got a name on it, in small capital letters.

"The name is DEATH."

So, now that Death of Discworld, old Mr. Bones himself discovers he's about to shuffle off this immortal coil, bite the Big One, cease to exist, dissolve and leave not a rack of ribs behind---what's he going to do?

He decides to Hell with it (or to It with hell) and goes on vacation.

No Death means no one on Discworld can truly die, including a one-hundred-and-three year-old wizard named Windle Poons, oldest faculty member of the Unseen University. He is scheduled to pass over into the Great Beyond at 9:30 P.M., in the midst of a 'going-away' party that his fellow wizards are throwing for him.

A few seconds past the appointed half hour, Windle swigs his last rum and dies--sort of. But the Big Guy with the scythe doesn't show up, so Windle finally climbs back into his one-hundred-and-three year-old body. He's neither alive nor dead and what's worse, another faculty member has already moved into his room.

Read "Reaper Man" to find out how its two unlikely heroes, Death and Windle are finally reconciled.

P. S. I'd like know how Terry Pratchett keeps coming up with all of these wacky Discworld stories. In "Reaper Man," one character says nothing but 'SQUEAK' and another says nothing but 'Oook,' and yet I understand them--and really like them. Death also seems like an okay sort of dude, although I wouldn't invite him to my going-away party.

P. P. S Don't take that personally, Mr. Bones!

                Book Description

                During the Roman Civil War, as the forces of Pompey and Julius Caesar fight a series of battles in the provinces over control of the Republic, Rome itself is a hotbed of intrigue as those left behind wait for word.In this tentative and treacherous environment, a beautiful young seeress is murdered in the marketplace.Possibly mad and claiming no memory of her own past, Cassandra - like her namesake - is reputed to have had the true gift of prophecy and, as a result, she became a confidante of the rich and powerful. Gordianus the Finder, who had become obsessed with the woman and her mystery, starts to investigate her murder.As the political situation in Rome continues to decay, the citizenry veers towards ruin, and everyone waits for word out in the far off fields of war, Gordianus begins to peel away the veils of secrecy that surround Cassandra's life and death. What lies underneath involves one, possibly many, of the most powerful women in Rome and the truth could not only put Gordianus's life in danger but affect the very future of Rome itself.AUTHORBIO: Steven Saylor has had a lifelong fascination with ancient Rome, from the drive-in movies of his boyhood (Cleopatra, Spartacus, Ben Hur), to his degree in history from the University of Texas, and through his appearances on the History Channel as an expert on Roman politics and life. He is the author of nine volumes in the Roma Sub Rosa series, most recently Last Seen in Massilia, as well as A Twist at the End, a historical novel set in 19th century Texas.He divides his time between Berkeley, California and Austin, Texas.

                3 out of 5 stars Last Tango in the Subura: Gordianus and the Prophetess.......2007-01-31

                While Caesar and Pompey are in Greece preparing for the ultimate showdown of their civil war, Rome is in dire straits under its Caesar-appointed custodians. Food is in short supply and the economy has all but collapsed with soaring inflation and a population deeply in debt (including Gordianus). Utter chaos could ensue at any moment as several opportunists exploit Rome's weakness to gain power for themselves. As if things weren't bad enough, Gordianus' wife Bethesda has fallen under a mysterious ailment that threatens to be fatal. Gordianus and his family are in the Forum seeking food (and hopefully a cure for Bethesda) when the beautiful but obviously deranged woman called "Cassandra" (for her alleged gift of prophecy), runs to Gordianus and collapses in his arms telling him before she dies that she has been poisoned by another woman. It turns out that Cassandra and Gordianus were not strangers. They were, in fact, secret lovers. (Yes, at his age!) Since Cassandra was a beggar with no relatives, Gordianus gives her a funeral. To his surprise, seven of the richest, most powerful women in Rome (including the wives and mistresses of Caesar, Cicero and Mark Antony) come to watch her body burn. Gordianus is sure that one of them is the murderer. Keeping his grief secret, Gordianus tries to identify the killer, as he is drawn deeper and deeper into Cassandra's complex world. Who exactly WAS Cassandra? Where did she come from? Why was she there? Was she a genuine seeress? A clever actress? A spy? Or all of the above? If she was a spy, who was she working for and why?

                A MIST OF PROPHECIES is a more conventionally "Agatha Christie" structured mystery than the previous volumes: a murder is committed, the suspects identified and then interviewed to discover the killer's identity. I was sure I had correctly guessed the murderess and her motivation at the end of Chapter 13, but I was wrong! Once again, what really makes the novel worthwhile are the colorful details of daily life in the Roman Empire. This book doesn't have the depth that some of the previous volumes have (e.g., THE VENUS THROW), but it's one of the faster-paced entries in this series and a lot of fun. At this point, there is only one more volume in this series after this book. I really don't want it to end! But A MIST OF PROPHECIES hints at the intriguing prospect of Gordianus' daughter Diana and her husband Davus entering the family business as a team. So maybe it won't be over!

                5 out of 5 stars Amazing work.......2006-08-29

                Saylor has definately become a master of his art. Each of the characters are so vivid, it is obvious that Saylor treats each with respect and critical thought has been put into view point analysis. The images Saylor uses to bring Rome alive are personal and palpable. Its as if Saylor travelled in time and really hung out with these people.

                The story line really didnt draw me in to the novel that much. But if anyone can make a story about a bunch of bickering old ladies facsinating, you better believe that it is Saylor who will do it.

                Although the story line didnt excite me, the realness of the characters that did. I mean, I almost feel like I was down their by the river with Gordianus and Clodia.

                5 out of 5 stars Saylor has regained balance. .......2005-10-11

                Well, Gordianus continues to be entirely implausible as far as actual Late Republican Rome was concerned. But then this novel manages to obtain an eerie athmosphere, as Gordianus enters old age in earnest in a setting of civil war, chaos and impending doom, the telling of the story revolves around a savvy counterpoint structure, and the mystery is actually satisfactory and not a pretext for displaying historical erudition. I look foward to reading the next novel - something "Last seem in Massilia" didn't quite manage to do.

                5 out of 5 stars Ancient Rome at its Very Best.......2004-11-14

                Gordianus the Finder is accosted in the marketplace by a beautiful young woman. She staggers towards him and dies in his arms. The woman is known as Cassandra by many, but this is not her real name, but a name given by the people who believed she had the true gift of prophecy. lots of people would pay handsomely for this gift, others would do anything in their power to supress it. Cassandra has had the ear of some of the most influential people in Rome, people who would stop at nothing . . .
                Obsessed with Cassandra's death Gordianus sets out to investigate. What he uncovers has serious implications concerning some of the most important women in Rome and puts Gordianus in serious danger of losing his own life.
                Saylor brings the sights, sounds and smells of Ancient Rome to life yet again, surely this is how it must have been.

                3 out of 5 stars OK, But Could Have Been Much Better.......2004-05-31

                "A Mist of Prophecies" was a disappointment. Granted, it was an above average novel, but it had the potential to be much more.

                The novel opens in Rome in 48 BC when the city is in tumult and the city government is hard pressed to maintain basic law and order. There is an alleged prophetess who goes under the name of Cassandra and who like her Trojan namesake is widely believed to be able to forsee the future. However, she is poisoned and detective Gordianus the Finder decides to try to figure out who's responsible for the dirty deed.

                So far, so good. However, the plot unravels from there. Gordianus decides that the killer must have been one of the seven prominent women who went to Cassandra's funeral although it is not clear on what basis he makes that determination.

                One problem with mystery novels set in past historical times is that the detectives are invariably private citizens who do not have any legal power to compel folks to talk to them. Nor do they have any sort of investigator's license to give them legitimacy. So, the authors of these novels generally have the suspects answer just about every question put to them by the hero except the one that would establish who done it. When a suspect refuses to answer a particular question, you know right then and there that this person is either guilty or a red herring.

                In the case of "A Mist Of Prophecies," the reader can figure out who the villainess is early on in the book since the author, Steven Saylor, failed to establish a plausible red herring. The guilty party in this novel just about did everything possible to make it easy for Gordianus to determine her guilt so much so that she might as well as gone around in public with a target painted on her back.

                While the mystery part is weak, the historical part is the novel's strength. The reader learns a lot about Roman history during this important time period in a way that holds the reader's interest. Additionally, the novel is well written and has richly drawn characters.

                Overall, I give it 3 out of 5 stars, but it could have been so much better.

                  The Toa Metru begin their long, dangerous journey back to the city of Metru Nui to save the Matoran from their endless sleep. But savage enemies and frightening dangers wait along the way. And what shocking surprise lurks in the fallen City of Legends?

                  I like this and the books that follow it, because Greg Farshtey and the Bionicle crew are finally following the wishes of the older fan group, and making the stories darker. The Bionicle community is an awesome group, and I'm glad that Lego, unlike so many, actually listens to their customers.

                  4 out of 5 stars A little darker than the other ones my son has read.......2005-05-24

                  My 9 year old son loves these books and reads them over and over. But this one got a "not my favorite" from him. He still reads and likes it, but he said it is darker and scarier than the other ones. I think if he were 7 or a young 8 it might have bothered him more.

                  5 out of 5 stars My Review for Bionicle Adventures #6; Maze of Shadows.......2005-01-26

                  Hi. My name is Nicholas (I feel I should express my first name)and I purchased this book. This is totally awesome - they just keep getting better and better! It takes place after Bionicle Adventures #5 - Voyage of Fear. The Toa Metru work their way back to Metru Nui in it, and they face many dangers - such as the Karzahni. I rate it 5 stars because it is very good - no completely humungously good! This is an AWESOME job for Greg Farshtey (writer).

                  From a true Bionicle fan, Nicholas

                          This book was excellent! It had seemingly multiple plots all at once to exquistly pull together and make a perfect book. It was like you were in the book living each fantasy at the same time in each of the other realms of the book when the author switches viewpoints. All in all a fantastic book, have read it twice. All fantasy readers, this is a must read.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Helpful Introduction to Reflexology.......2002-08-18

                                  I found this book to be a very good introduction to the subject of reflexology. Hand reflexology was appealing to me, because I couldn't imagine working with my feet in a self-help way. However, after reading Hand Reflexology, I was inspired to learn more about foot and body reflexology as well. Even though the book has that folksy, old-fashioned style of older self-help manuals, it does contain tons of really useful information and presents it in a clear, easy-to-read way. I've read many books on reflexology since first acquiring this one, and I still feel that this is one of the best.

                                  5 out of 5 stars a tremendous resource.......1999-06-24

                                  This is the best book ever written on reflexology, bar none. It is filled with excellent practical advice. There are chapters on the meridians of the body and how they are connected to the hands and feet of a person. The author shows how the different organs and glands are connected to energy points in the hand and how these organs can be healed. There is an excellent chapter on detoxifying the entire body using reflexology. These techniques work very well. A persons health is the most important thing, no doubt about it. This book gives a very easy method to cure disease and it works great. Its a pity that more people do not know about this book and suffer terribly, all without need. They should learn to question things, especially the medical establishment and think for themselves. This book is worth every penny and more. A tremendous health resource.
