Wonderful story.......2007-05-14
I've usually enjoyed reading stories set in Japan and this story is no exception. The writing is clear and understandable, and the plot is intriguing. This book combines the mystery of a secretive, closed culture with the struggles of a strong, intelligent character faced with adversity but determined to succeed. I highly recommend this book.
a great book but don't buy Perennial Classics Edition.......2007-02-03
I love this book - so much so that when my old worn copy was misplaced, I immediately bought another; this Perennial Classics Edition. I recommended it to my friends as well. I would recommend this book to anyone - the story, told in the form of diary entries and letters, is captivating.
But beware! Every copy of this book that we purchased (me and my two friends), has pages scrambled in the middle. I explained the problem to Amazon.com, and was sent another copy with the same mis-ordered pages. It is clearly a printing issue that runs through this edition. Buy a used copy, buy from a different publisher, but don't buy this particular edition, Perennial Classics by Harper Collins.
A beautifully written novel of choices and their consequences.......2006-12-31
This novel, written as journal entries and letters, starts in 1903 with a young and naive Miss Mary Mackenzie sailing to China with her chaperone to meet her fiance in Peking where she is to be married. There she will make a choice which will change the course of her life from anything she might have expected it to be.
This is a rather bitter-sweet story. It is very well written and gives a great sense of the changes in Asia from 1903 to 1942. Mary is an extremely believable character who must make her away alone, an exile, in what is essentially a man's world - and an alien one at that. This is not a romance novel and doesn't follow a predictable route to the story conclusion, and yet it is haunting in its way if you follow the story to its end. If you like a well written historical novel that is set in the 20th century then this is a book you should pick up, especially as the authors own background in the east means it is full of real details and great feeling for life in China and Japan.
If you Liked Snow Flower and the Secret Fan you will love..........2006-11-04
The Ginger tree is a remarable book, well written with a good story line. It brings to light much about a culture other than our own.
Definitely one of my all time favorite books.......2006-06-07
I loved this book and found it to be totally captivating---and the antithesis of boring. The plot is gripping, the writing is great, the characters are memorable.

best book.......2006-01-17
With handmade ornaments to go with this book and allowing children to hang one on the tree each night, it was the highlight of Christmas for our family.
The Advent Jesse Tree:Devotions for Children and Adults to Prepare for the Coming of the Christ Child at Christmas.......2005-07-25
This is a wonderful family focus for the Christmas season. Each day the children are so excited to have their "Jesse Time". One child gets to find the package numbered for that day under their Jesse Tree and another gets to open it when the devotion is done. I hope this will be a tradition in my family for generations to come. Several ladies and I have made the ornaments and provided complete sets to go along with their purchase of this book and it is truly a magical way to teach children of God's promises and love and the true meaning of Christmas.
Great used with ornaments!!.......2000-10-23
Each year a group of ladies (25) gets together and picks a day's devotional and makes an ornament to go along with that day. Each person makes 25 of their ornament and then everyone gets together and exchanges. Finally, you have a complete set that you can use along with this great devotional book!! Each day has a devotion/symbol and there are readings for children and adults. My children unwrap the ornament for the day and then we read the devotional. It makes a wonderful family time!!
A GREAT DEVOTIONAL BOOK.......2000-08-31
THIS BOOK WAS VERY INSPIRATIONAL TO MY FAMILY. IT BROUGHT US SO CLOSE TOGETHER AROUND CHRISTMAS. MOST OF THE TIME ONE LOSES SIGHT OF WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ALL ABOUT & THIS BOOK BRINGS IT HOME TO NOT ONLY OUR CHILDREN BUT TO US AS PARENTS.
IT IS A MUST BOOK FOR THE FAMILY LIBRARY TO ENJOY OVER & OVER.
GREAT DEVOTIONAL BOOK FOR CHILDREN & ADULTS ALIKE.......1999-11-10
THIS BOOK TRACES THE HERITAGE OF JESUS CHRIST IN THE OLD TESTMENT. ADULTS ENJOY THE CHILDREN'S DEVOTIONS AS WELL AS THEIR OWN. EACH DAY AN ORNAMENT IS PLACED ON A TREE TO GO WITH EACH DEVOTIONAL.

Charming romance.......2006-10-25
Pretty good romance read. If the writer mentioned Elizabeth's "red devil's hair" again I'd scream. Good, well-plotted, clever story. Hunks for monks too.
A Fun Read.......2006-05-29
Elizabeth of Bredon is headed to a convent, away from her abusive father and his household of men; she joins the traveling party of a degenerate prince on his way to the shrine to make amends for his deplorable behavior. Except that the prince isn't quite as detestable as Elizabeth feared, and he doesn't find her as unattractive as she has always believed herself to be.
This historical romance is well done and enjoyable, light reading that keeps you turning the pages until the end. For the most part the characters are believable but the ending leaves way too much hanging---Will Peter get his lands back? How did he find forgiveness within himself? How does he get permission to leave his order? In the 13th century, one didn't just leave a monastic order without peril to one's immortal soul.
Of course this is a romance, so I'm willing to overlook the persistent details that should have been answered. I found the book overall to be a good read, well-written and with likeable, strong characters. That is, unless you look too closely to try to figure out those irritating details....Still, it's a good romance and should satisfy most of us who aren't looking too hard for historical accuracy.
I liked these characters but... .......2006-05-17
I liked, but didn't love, this book. The characters were rather a bit predictable although the storyline was different. I won't go into the storyline since others have described it so well. Elizabeth has been told so long that she has witch's hair and is ugly and she believes it. I found her a bit outspoken for having been beaten down (both figuratively and literally!) by the brood of men that are her family. I think she was delighted to join a convent and get away from them. I wish Peter had spoken more to her about why he found her fascinating and why she had lured him away from his vows as no one else had. But he didn't. The tormented-knight-turned-monk-turned-lover character has been done before. I actually enjoyed the love story of Adrian and Joanna even better than the main romance! I know it was glossed over a bit and may have been rather unrealistic but if you read between the lines, she had not been with that many men and found the whole thing rather distasteful. But Joanna was not demeaned enough to lose her confidence in life. The pilgrimage to St. Anne's was eye-opening for both women.
I enjoyed the book enough to give it a 4 and to recommend it, but there were inconsistencies. Another reviewer mentions the whole Prince William thing. He was basically impotent, having been disfigured in a fire. He must have just been into the whole pain and debasing thing and hearing about it was just ... yuck! I guess you had to hate him enough to be glad he got his due in the end. Not a keeper, but I enjoyed reading this book.
Plain Jane meets handsome monk.......2006-04-06
I enjoyed the story well enough, but the ending left too many unanswered questions. Like 'did the church allow them to marry?' and 'how did he get his house and land back?'. Even though we were reminded over and over how unattractive Elizabeth was, she became beautiful in Peter's eyes.
One note: This was my first Anne Stuart book that I purchased because someone compared her to Linda Howard. I'm sorry, even though the book was good, it was not in Linda Howard's league.
an enjoyable and unique romance..........2005-03-07
I thoroughly enjoyed this unusual romance of a woman who seeks the convent because no one wants her and the fallen knight nee' monk who sees that she's special enough to forsake all to be with her.
I would have given this book five stars except for the repetitiveness of the idea that the heroine is "SOOO" unattractive. That got to be a little annoying after about the 10th time it's mentioned.
Very sensual, and overall well written.
4 stars!
Book Description
This book argues a new and more complex interpretation of the development and manifestations of the liberal arts movement in American higher education during the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Specifically, the book elucidates the under-explored yet formative role that the University of Virginia and its 1935 'Virginia Plan' played, both in fostering the liberal arts movement, and as a representative institution of the broader interaction colleges and universities had with this movement.

An Enchanting Book.......2007-08-21
Have you ever befriended someone whom everyone shunned? Has this person been a significant influence in your life? Have the traditions of your family been passed down through the generations and honored to this day? Do you have women, who are your friends, that you respect because of the values they keep and you live by those values every day of your life? Vila's book, "Hidden Passages," is about the love and respect we have for the women in our lives. It could be a great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, or just a friend. Her book is enchanting and will draw you in from the very first page. It is a must read that reminds us to show love and appreciation to the women who influence our everyday life. S.L. Chessor-Author
My Tongue Fell Out
Breath Takingly Awsome.......2007-08-14
Traveling and experiencing the trials and lives of eight women brings up deep rooted memories of ones own experiences in life. You cry, you laugh, and you smile along with them.
A heart felt collection all women should read and experience.
Celebrate the Crone.......2007-06-27
It isn't news that older women are often portrayed in a negative light in our youth-centered culture. Some of us--those of us who have marked 50 or more birthdays--have even played a role in that, believing in our youth we should "Never trust anyone over thirty."
But there is a far older adage we live by these days: "With age comes wisdom." In Hidden Passages, a collection of eight short stories, author Vila SpiderHawk celebrates women who have reached their crone years and are living them with passion, unmitigated determination, and above all, grace.
Among the wise women Spiderhawk has created is Mima Po, a Holocaust survivor who, with the aid of the Roman goddess Juno Lucina, shows a little girl how to open her eyes and celebrate rather than fear individual differences. Our hearts break for Tichu, a young woman who has been horribly mistreated by other members of her tribe. Cast out, Tichu wanders into the realm of Grandmother Spider, who bestows Tichu with knowledge and magical gifts; gifts that, despite her mistreatment, Tichu cannot wait to share with her tribe. In the last story, we meet Lucinda, an elderly nursing home resident who is so much more than what she appears.
There is plenty of magic in these stories, magic that is written in an often subtle and always believable manner. You won't find any vindictive hags turning young men into frogs, or other equally ridiculous feats of prestidigitation. What you will find is wise, skillful women passing on the secrets of reaping what you sow; of seeing beauty in what, at first glance, is not beautiful; and the loving hands of the goddess reaching out and embracing Her daughters of all ages. This approach to magic--and the goddess--makes these stories an irresistible read to maiden, mother, and crone alike.
Great stories that come to Life! .......2007-06-04
SpiderHawk interweaves many different loving relationships in these uplifting and poignant tales. My favorite tale presented the life-changing bond between a curious girl and the neighborhood wise woman. But throughout, SpiderHawk expertly portrays the joy of new experiences as well as the protective affection and devoted concern connecting mother, daughter and grandmother during transformative passages of their lives. Here is a book destined to be a classic.
A Very Fine Book.......2007-05-19
When I was given Vila Spiderhawk's Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crone, frankly I didn't expect to enjoy it, so I ignored it for awhile. But when I finally started it I got hooked very quickly. Her writing is passionate and she uses language very, very well. The stories are all interesting and some I found fascinating. I recommend it strongly not only to women of a certain age but anyone interested in good stories and fine writing.
Book Description
Inquisitor Eisenhorn is one on the most senior members of the Imperial Inquisition. With his warband he scourges the galaxy in order to root out heresy. When that heresy is found to infiltrate the hierarchy of the Imperium and the Inquisition itself, he must rely on himself alone to deal with it - even if it means making deals with the enemy. All three books of the Eisenhorn trilogy along with two short stories and Eisenhorn's case book and compendium are included in one big volume
Customer Reviews:
3 cheers for Dan Abnett.......2006-10-02
After all these years of Warhammer and WH40K stuff, growing up with it, learning English partly because of it - the Eisenhorn saga is still my favourite.
Many flaws:
- Somewhat silly fight scenes here and there.
- Somewhat implausible plot developments very occasionally.
- A bit of disconnection issues in between the three books, with new characters introduced that should logically have been at least mentioned in this and the next book.
But finally:
VERY VERY GOOD stuff. Can easily stand on its own as a work of serious military science fiction with plenty of atmosphere and character work. Truly a genre-busting breakout effort, even though Mr. Abnett is severely limited by heavy-handed limits on the length of his works for the Black Library, and the pressure on him to get stuff out the door asap, whether he is happy with the level of polish or not.
Months later I found myself still thinking about the stories, so bought the book again (had decided to rid myself of non-essential property prior to some difficult stuff in my life). Now several years later I'm doing it again, after having gotten rid of the book a second time.
Intense!.......2005-09-27
This is a marvelous book for any fan of Sci-Fi. I've never played the actual 40K game but didn't feel confused by any aspect of this book. In fact, this book did a lot to bring the situation in the 40K universe into sharper focus. By telling the story from the perspective of Eisenhorn, Abnett is able to portray the Inquisitor's true feelings and gives the whole story a very personal feel. It must have been harder to write the book in the first person, but I think it enhances the power of the story.
As in other Warhammer books, this one is non-stop, page-turning action. While sometimes predictable, this book is in no way boring. All of the characters are great and the plot is intense. The dark vision of the 40K universe is compelling and unique.
Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
Good book.......2004-10-08
First let me say that I've been dissapointed with the other GW 40K books I've read and don't particularly like Chaos related stuff. Now having said that I really enjoyed Xenos. It is very well written and could easily standalone as a good sci-fi book in its own right. Obviously 40K fans will get a bit more out of it. I've since bought the next book in the series and Abnett's latest. I'll echo some of the other reviews and agree the book could have been another 100 pages longer.
Amazing...simply amazing.......2003-04-23
This book was simply amazing! Dan Abnett writes so well that he creates perfect empathy with the characters whilst at the same time keeping the story moving fast enough to keep interest till after you've finished the book.
Xenos, the first book of the Eisenhorn trilogy.......2003-04-02
Xenos, the first book of the Eisenhorn trilogy, probably the best story to come out of WH40k so far. It's the story of the Inquisitor Eisenhorn and his staff. The book is rich, lavish and vivid in details, and it brings the book to a "reality feel" (and that's hard to do in a fiction). The book will please anyone from a new fan to a old WH40K expert. It should be noted that a minimum, or basic knowledge of the WH40K universe is required for a full appreciation of this book..
Customer Reviews:
Instant classic.......2006-10-02
Dan has once again outdone himself. If you're seeing his work for the first time I recommend you pick up any random Gaunt's Ghost book and then get kicking with the first of the Eisenhorn series, or better yet go with the full trilogy in one volume, the Eisenhorn Omnibus.
By the time you get to this part of the epic saga you'll be thoroughly hooked, so don't even bother fighting the impulse.
Criticism:
- Occasional lack of connections between the three parts of the trilogy, important characters are introduced without having been mentioned previously.
- A few somewhat implausible and incongruous (suspension of disbelief only works if the author stays consistent within his own work, i.e. a character cannot continuously be described as old and decrepit and then suddenly do something wholly un-decrepit... it hurts the immersion and seems a cop-out for lack of polish) fight-scenes that might go down better with a younger audience than with ex-mercenary deepsea divers like myself.
All in all, insanely good work that is wholly worthy of mainstream recognition and awards. A CGI-movie? The Peter Jackson treatment?
Or perhaps just a forever cult classic amongst the WH and WH40K crowd...
Peter Book Worm.......2006-08-21
He's on edge of slipping to the other side(chaos)but holds on for a great ending,also a new beginning for Ravenor(next set future -I- style books.
Great Book/Glad i didnt buy all 3 seperate.
Peter
Exciting finish to a great trilogy........2005-11-02
Hereticus chronicles the climax of the Eisenhorn trilogy. As with the other two books of the trilogy, it is full of intense action and entertaining interactions between the characters. Some new and interesting characters are introduced here, including one of Eisenhorn's old lovers, that help to expand the overall story background. In this last novel, the whole world comes crashing down for our hero and a desperate and final confrontation with his arch enemy is finally forced.
Another exciting read from Abnett.
All's well that ends well!.......2004-11-24
A fine ending! If you liked the first two books, don't miss this one. I won't ruin the book by telling it here. Comes strongly bound with decent quality paper in a modern plastisized cover. This book is hard to find; i suspect a limited production run already out of print. It's worth finding though. Maybe next time Dan Abnett writes a book his publisher will trust they have a big enough audience to publish a few more copies.
$60 for Hereticus, I think not.......2004-07-17
For some odd reason, this book - a $6.95 paperback if purchased from The Black Library itself is being listed by sellers here for $40 and up! Do yourself a favor and just use the GW online store to order, after speaking with a GW sales representitive here in the US, the book is not in limited production, nor is it sold out.
Customer Reviews:
A step down from Xenos........2005-10-25
While I enjoyed reading this book very much, it just didn't quite live up to my expectations after reading Xenos. Malleus just didn't seem put together as carefully as Xenos, seeming a bit forced to me the whole way through. Parts of the book were rushed by with hardly any explanation and other parts seemd included just as an attempt to get some immediate action. At the same time some things about this book were better than the first one. The interactions between Eisenhorn and Cherubael, as well as the unfounded(?) accuasations against Eisenhorn by rivals in the Inquisition develop the overall story nicely and begin to change Eisenhorn's character in subtle ways. The final volume of the trilogy is sure to be gratifying.
As usual with 40K books, this one is full of action. Death and destruction abound and great battles are fought. Another exciting read by Abnett.
Not as good as Xenos.......2004-11-09
Malleus is the second book of the Eisenhorn Trilogy. Malleus isn't as good of a story as Xenos but still a very good read. If you have not read Xenos then definitely read that book first. Also if you are not already a fan of Warhammer 40,000 be prepared to slug through the first 50-100 pages as the book throws a lot of names and events at you that could be tough to deal with if you are not already familiar with the 40K universe. Overall a good, well written sci-fi yarn.
Malleus, the second book of the Eisenhorn trilogy.......2003-04-02
Malleus, the second book of the Eisenhorn trilogy, probably the best story to come out of WH40k so far. It's the story of the Inquisitor Eisenhorn and his staff. The book is rich, lavish and vivid in details, and it brings the book to a "reality feel" (and that's hard to do in a fiction). But I gave Malleus a 4 stars, since it is less detailed and the story is much to predicable compared the Xenos, maybe a little more time spent on it prior to release, would of solved that issue, and won it's 5th star, but sadly not. The book will please anyone from a new fan to a old WH40K expert. It should be noted that a minimum, or basic knowledge of the WH40K universe and the previous book Xenos is required for a full appreciation of this book.
Best so far from the Black Library..........2003-01-29
This is by far the best book to come out of the Black Library. Mr. Abnett has crafted well a deep dissectomy into the life, personae and personal demons of an Imperial Inquisitor, arguably the most interesting phenomena in the WH40K setting. If only the battles of the first book had been less caricature-ish and some of the action in the third less idiotic, then the series as a whole would have earned a place among mainstream superlative science fiction, alongside Heinlein, Reynolds, et al.
As is, I will re-read these books, specifically the second, and skip the - even for the diehard WH40K fan - somewhat unrealistic battles and concentrate on the interplay b/n Eisenhorn, his two women, beloved Aemos and magnificent Cherubael. The relationship b/n the Inquisitor and his demons and memories are worthy of emulation, and the overall prose beats the [stuffing]... out of the Draco books. In short, Abnett's masterpiece.
Very Good Book!.......2002-11-05
Abnett has written an excellent follow up to his first book "Xenos". The plot of this novel is very well woven together and surprisingly intricate but as a previous reviewer points out it does feel rather rushed especially at the end. I've read this is because of the restrictions by the Black Library on story length but I can't confirm this. I liked this book better then "Xenos" because it gives a glimpse into the inner life of the Inquisition and all its many problems. I only gave it 4 stars because the story line is rushed. It sets up nicely for the 3rd book. Bring it on Mr Abnett!
Customer Reviews:
great read.......2007-07-23
I have read this book three times - bought this copy for my daughter. It is fun, full of wisdom, and hard to put down. A great gift for the open minded and curious!
What a FUN way to explore the nature of reality!.......2007-02-07
I was so glad they re-released these books. I love the whole series. As novels they are great, but as an explanation of how the universe works they are awesome. I espeically love the old age home of the gods!
The whole idea of all time being simultaneous is so clear. Made me wonder if we aren't all just someone's oversoul!
Metaphysics on another level.......2007-02-07
For those of you who love fictional accounts that leave you on a different plane of existence, this is for you. Many may prefer books that spell things out and leave you with a set of rules to follow from some motivational speaker. This book offers your imagination an enjoyable trip that leaves you with some new perspectives and concepts with which to create your own life.
Cosmic fun!.......2006-01-06
Read this and you will never be the same again! Unlike anything else I have ever read, the Oversoul 7 trilogy stands alone, and in my top 5 books of all time. Cosmic truths presented in fictional format, but NOT cheesy or contrived like most 'New Age fiction.' You know what I mean - those books that have a story just to provide an excuse for New Age preaching. blech. It's great when it works, but it rarely works. Well this time it works! Jane Roberts pulls it off, and pulls it off quite well!
Read Oversoul and your dreams will come alive. You will look at every sunflake with new appreciation. Your sense of time and space will be forever altered. You will grasp at last the paradox of nonlinear time (ie, 'time travel'). You will meet unforgettable characters and remember them fondly many years later (the hallmark of a great book). And, you'll have fun reading it.
Oversoul Seven.......2005-03-20
I am an avid reader (although usually of non-fiction books), and I was completely taken in by this work of "fiction"! In fact, I read the entire trilogy (nearly 600 pages) in just a few days!
I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the metaphysical. Although it's fiction, I believe it shares some of the "real" views of the author - apparently obtained during her messages from Seth (I haven't yet read her "Seth" books yet, so I can't be certain about this).
Basically, this is a story about the journey & subsequent learning of a non-physical being - oversoul seven, and his many teachers along the way. It is beautifully written, and such a page turner, that I only wished there was more stories of the adventures of this quirky soul.
If you are at all interested in the "metaphysical", or enjoy this authors books re: Seth, I would highly recommend "The Oversoul Seven Trilogy" - the author presents some of the most difficult of concepts in an easy, enjoyable way. I can't speak highly enough about this book!
