Monsters.......2006-03-14
The bizaare, dark, and somewhat tragic tale of a group of delinquent boys taken to a secluded mountain village during World War II, then abandoned by the villagers when a mysterious plague strikes...
I found the relationship between the narrator and his younger brother very moving. In some ways, I was reminded of Golding's Lord of the Flies, however, this novel had more positive moments shared between the boys. Very immersing, I read it in one day.
Powerful.......2004-10-27
I have a friend once suffered from pneumonia. She read this book in the hospital when she had broken one of her ribs from a coughing fit. That is how pained and weak she was at that time. After she read the book she said she forgot her own anguish and cried for the suffering characters in this touching and tender book. I picked it up and have never been the same again. It made me angry, sad, and I wanted to do something about the injustice in this world. It made me a better person.
A punch in the stomach..........2003-04-08
That's what my wife told me when I picked it up to begin reading it. But that's what a good book is supposed to feel like. And it did. It was dark, cruel, and painful,, and contained vivid descriptions of inhumanity, though it was not without its moments of humor.
A.B.C.D. Encirclement.......2002-10-07
Oe lachrymosely indulges every anti-Japanese propagandist in the american media conglomerate (Ingram) with ample opportunity to smack their lips over the "moral failings" of Japan. The fact that this ineffectual moralist won the Noble prize while it was denied to Mishima speaks volumes on what supine expectations the american propaganda industry expects from Japan. Both left and right. Writer like Oe and Murakami... are parasites getting fat by preening all the morbid phobias of a degenerate american elite, allowing them to wallow in self-adulation. What would Mr. Oe have done during the war? Sheepishly meet the demands of an expansionist american navy? Allowed China to invade the country so as not to offend their sensitivities?...Japan chose WAR rightfully, even with the foreknowledge that it was a lost cause. And Japan would not even exist today if Mr. Oe were around then.
Instead of Oe or Murakami or Bannana Yoshimoto's insipid writing for privileged sectors in the american market (The Nanny Diaries) feeding that markets endless appetite for peeling scabs and self-abasement try and find a video of the Shunya Ito film Pride, which angered ALL the right people in the world and was one of the most popular films in recent Japanese cinema. Or any of the great Yukio Mishima's books, who was indeed what he described himself to be "the conscience of post war Japan".
Dark, beautiful, tragic........2002-09-12
My introduction to Kenzaburo Oe, "Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids" struck me with the force of a bamboo spear. With his beautiful prose (and the complementary translation by Mackintosh and Sugiyama), Oe paints his characters with the brush of traditional Japan but in the style of a contemporary miscreant. Throughout, the book conveys relentlessly brutal portraits of an altered, horrific reality.
From the moment the reformatory boys are introduced to the end of their abandonment and the narrator's final, fearful sentences, Oe drags the reader through the hell of his ambiguous setting. Pulled along with the narrator, his brother, and their reform school compatriots, the reader follows into the nightmare of a plague-infested village and their utter isolation. While the boys struggle to eke out their existence and build lives in their newfound freedom, one is constantly on edge awaiting the collapse of their delicate system. When, finally, the villagers return and the madness of the world indeed crushes their fragile independence, the reader emulates the boys in their sense of relief and subsequent betrayal.
One of Oe's first novels, the deft manipulation of the reader's emotions and interactions between the characters promised great things for the young writer. As I begin another of his books, I cannot help but agree that he deserved his Nobel.

Great love story.......2007-05-14
I enjoyed this story about a cowboy and his girl told as the tale develped and it kept me up way past my bedtime to see how it all turned out. Altogether it was an enjoyable tale and very moving. The loss of a loved one was an undercurrent throughout the book until a new life is born into this world. Good stuff!!
The mix of true life and western lore.......2005-07-16
When reading this book you may not realize just how much of Mr. Cord's own life experience influenced the characters. However, by reading this story you'll actually gain insight into his personal life tragedies. In effect, this book is part autobiography and part fiction, truly a labor of love from Mr. Cord.
A Hollywood legend who starred in "Airwolf" (1984-1986), Mr. Cord is perhaps best known for his proficient horsemanship and appearances in high-profile westerns such as "Stagecoach."
A shame not to read this book!.......2005-06-18
As a Radio Talk Show Host I have interviewed 100's of authors. Alex Cords' "A Feather in the Rain" is a MUST READ! To find out about the real Alex Cord, I would recommend that you read this book. Its to bad that there are not more men like him in the world today! If you have ever seen a horse, I say READ THIS BOOK! I would also have to say that, BAR NONE!, also the best Radio interview that I have ever had and, believe me, I have had alot. Without ever meeting Alex in person I consider him a true friend.
Jeanie, Angel Collector, Texas.......2005-06-01
This book is absolutely amazing. Having lost a child, I found that Alex Cord captured the true essence of a parent facing the loss of a child. I laughed and cried at the touching force he gives as a greiving parent, finding the love of his life and bringing a new being into the world to love and cherish, but never trying to let him take Damien Zachary's place, just fill the void. The horse language is true in every sense of the word, to imagine the majestic beauty of the Cutting Horse. Truly a book well worth reading. Thank you, Alex!!
StarrBooks.......2005-05-28
If you have suffered loss, some personal healing will be found in the pages of this book. Alex opened up his heart on this one. Just read it!

Satisfactory conclusion to three-part series.......2007-08-17
"Regeneration," the third of Julie Czerneda's "Species Imperative" series, starts with a jolt, as Mac and Emily rediscover each other after Emily's restored to health, and Mac is given a new assignment by the Sinzi, who we first met in book two, "Migration." Emily then is packed off to Norcoast to do research on the origins of the Ro, while Mac is going back to the planet from which she was rescued at the end of the first volume of the series, "Survival," which has now been renamed Myriam.
Unfortunately, the book now bogs down severely at this point in the tale, as it gets far too involved with Mac's leave-taking than is really necessary (complete with a farewell party and visit from her family--totally unnecessary in that the visit does not really give us enough new information about Mac to justify the pages taken up with it), but finally picks up again as Mac does leave, and encounters the usual delicious (and often humorous) Czerneda mix of aliens. After the characters new to this installment in the series are introduced, the action really gets going. Nothing goes off quite as planned (a good thing--in real life nothing ever goes off like clockwork), as Mac learns to become increasingly bloody minded as she navigates her way through intergalactic politics, trying to figure out if the Ro or the Dhryn or both are the real enemies. Eventually, she finds out. And so will you!
Notes and asides: This book will make no sense to you at all unless you've read the two previous books in the series, "Survival" and "Migration." This review probably won't either.
Mac, the intrepid salmon researcher, to the galactic rescue!.......2007-03-23
REGENERATION satisfyingly concludes the Julie Czerneda sci-fi trilogy, SPECIES IMPERATIVE, centering on a salmon-cycle researcher who gets drafted into off-world intrigue with several memorable species, including two murderous ones: the migrating and world-devouring Dhryn and the more terrifying no-space Ro.
The books in this series, SURVIVAL, MIGRATION, and now REGENERATION, were the first Czerneda novels I'd read, and I must say that the author's writing style requires some acclimation. Although the narrative reveals many complexities -- such as an amazing array of aliens with exceedingly distinct biologies and natures, as well as intricately developed plotline -- one has to strain to translate what is on the page into a flowing "mental movie." The characters speak in shorthand a lot. And descriptions of critical events can be ambiguous or vague. Reading these books is somewhat akin to arriving at a bridge across a chasm made of wooden slats where random planks are infirm or missing and one has to uncertainly tiptoe over certain sections and jump across others. The books also take their own sweet time in many a scene -- i.e., the languid reconnection between heroine biologist Mac and her wayward (but also heroine) friend, Emily, in REGENERATION's opening chapters -- and that can lead to reader impatience.
However, the strangeness in the prose also companionably enriches the trilogy's theme of a human scientific woman's unasked-for immersion in extraterrestrial species' evolution, competition, and, yes, maturation cycles. Mac's struggle to stay on her bridge over the chasm (so to speak) -- or perhaps one should use the analogy "keep her head above water" since she administers the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility -- when she must deal with various races of the galactic Interspecies Union is keenly transmitted to the reader. So is her scholarly social awkwardness with her own kind, and her slowly blossoming romance with the mostly-absent cosmic spy, Nik. It takes reader investment to fully appreciate these SPECIES IMPERATIVE books (just as it does to know and imbibe a fine wine), but all three volumes are worth the effort.
REGENERATION brings the perilous and yet, often comedic, mission of Dr. Mackensie Connor and her earthly and unearthly friends (Oversight and Fourteen are among my favorite friends; they are each gratingly adorable in their own inimitable ways) to a nail-biting finale and a resolution that a salmon-cycle researcher would find befitting. This isn't a stand-alone though. Read the trilogy in order. If you are starting now, you won't have to wait on pins and needles for release of the next installment like I did.
Could have used an editor.......2007-01-06
This trilogy started off well and ended poorly. It seems like half the book is taken up by the main character thinking about her feelings (and letting us read about her thinking about her feelings). Not a good thing for science fiction. I think the other reviewer had it right by saying this book is the intersection between sci fi and chic lit. Maybe there's an audience for it, but hard core science fiction fans should go elsewhere.
A Fitting End to A Wonderful Trilogy.......2006-11-05
Julie Czerneda is a very talented writer of science fiction and certainly she is destined to be one of the greats after her current trilogy "Species Imperative." The third in the saga, "Regeneration" spins the tale of Dr. Mackenzie Connor, an earth biologist who specializes in salmon life cycles, to an exciting and very satisfying conclusion.
The civilizations of the universe are threatened by the total destruction brought on by the migrating Dhryn, a very complex species of highly intelligent but driven aliens who are literally eating every living being in sight through their "feeder" form. These provide sustenance for the huge progenitors as they travel to new worlds, but no one knows why they transform from apparently gentle creatures to this monstrous life-destroying stage. Mac (as she is known) has been dragged away from her comfortable studies on the salmon to solve this mystery and help save the universe. Her associates include Emily, a South American biologist and close friend who has just returned from being a tool of the possibly helpful (or possibly evil) Myrokynay (the Ro), who live in no space. Other important humans include "Oversight", the crusty representative of the conservation organization overseeing the salmon research, and Nicholas Trojanowski (a spy and Mac's love interest). Add numerous complex aliens, such as the Mygs, the Sinzi, the Trisulians, the bear-like Gromnoii and others, and you have a classic scifi story of biological entities that will warm the heart of any hardened scifi fan.
A great series from a great author! If you like solid scifi, you should love this book, especially if you are into weird biology! But then Earth organisms have at least as weird life cycles as the Dhryn, if on a smaller scale. Czerneda's background in biology serves her well here!
Tracking the Myrokynay.......2006-10-07
Regeneration (2006) is the third SF novel in the Species Imperative series, following Migration. In the previous volume, Mackenzie Conner convinced the Sinzi consul to stop broadcasting to the Myrokynay and the oncoming Dhryn ships also stopped. Nikolai Trojanowski and Vessel traveled back to the Progenitor with news of Ro treachery. Mac stayed behind with the gravely injured Emily Mamani Sariento, but received treatments for her alexia while keeping Emily company.
In this novel, Mac decides that Emily needs to be among familiar people doing familiar activities. She gets permission from Anchen to take Emily back to Base. With Mac and Emily leaving, Anchen also allows the Origins Team to return to the Dhryn's original homeworld (now named Myriam for the victim of Brymn's feeder form).
While trekking through the recovering Castle Inlet Preserve, Emily suddenly remembers that the Ro had hidden something in the sea nearby. Mac immediately relays this information to the Ministry and soon materiel and personnel are moving into the area. As Mac leaves to rejoin the Origins Team in orbit, Emily is quite busy rebuilding her DNA Scanner to help track down the Myrokynay facility.
Mac has a side trip on the way to orbit; the lev leaves Mudge, Sam and herself in Dawson City. That night, Mac has a surprise visit from Hollans -- Nik's boss in the Ministry -- who has arranged this layover to get some advice. She also learns that there are abandoned Dhryn ships in the Myriam system and that her team will be transferred to Myriam on the Annapolis Joy, a glorified customs cutter with massive offensive weapons.
On the way to the Naralax Transect, a Sinzi courier dart comes aboard the Joy. Mac and the Joy's Captain find that they now have two Sinzi-ra onboard, one for the Myriam system and the other to open a consulate on the Annapolis Joy itself. The Joy's Captain keeps turning over more of the ship to the Interspecies Union.
The Joy also has another passenger, Sigmund Eduardo Norris, for whom Mac develops an instant dislike. Yet Norris has an interesting exploration vehicle that seems to be invisible from the inside. He takes Mac out on a short hop to one of the abandoned Dhryn ships and sneaks them aboard. Searching the ship for clues, Mac notices an invisible Ro walker -- it has a distinctive sound -- and yells for Norris to flee. She hides under a cargo pallet and discovers that she is not alone. A Dhryn Wasted is also hiding under the cargo.
Mac listens for the walker and, after hearing nothing unusual, takes the Wasted with her back to the lander. She finds Norris's body near the lander ramp and the walker lurking close by. The Wasted spits on the walker with his acidic sputum and kills it. After contacting her escort vessel, Mac manages to get the walker body on the lander and the Dhryn ejects the lander from the ship.
In this story, Mac learns much more about the Ro and the Dhryn, discovers that Cayhill has his good points, and rejoins the Dhryn Progenitor whom she had last met on Haven. The IU seems to be breaking up because of suspicion of the Sinzi actions, but the Sinzi come to the support of the Dhryn and herself. The Myrokynay finally demonstrate their malevolence to even the idiot faction within the IU.
This story concludes with a very convincing ending to a highly realistic problem. The xenophobic Myrokynay consistantly underestimate their competition and pay for their blindness. They just can't believe that any species has as much, or more, intelligence as themselves. And they ignore the advantages of greater numbers over slightly advanced technology. Reminds me of certain humans, although greatly exaggerated.
Highly recommended for Czerneda fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of scientific discovery, high adventure and romance.

Book Description
When non-Catholics insist that Catholic practices are just man-made doctrinal aberrations that have been added to Scripture, reach for this convincing explanation and defense of Catholic Tradition!
Why is That in Tradition? shows you how to deflate standard objections to Catholic doctrines and practices that have been taught for centuries — and how to use those very beliefs and practices to bring people into (or back into) the Catholic Church.
Veteran apologist and best-selling author Patrick Madrid:
• Explains the difference between capital "T" Tradition, which are part of divine revelation, the doctrines delivered to the Church by Christ and the Apostles, and small "t" traditions, which are customs or disciplines that develop within the Church.
• Shows exactly what the Church has always taught about the Bible, Mary, the communion of saints, praying for the dead, calling priests "Father," the veneration of relics, the Real Presence, transubstantiation, confession to a priest, purgatory, the primacy of the Pope, apostolic succession, indulgences, holy water, sacramentals, novenas, and many other teachings and customs often objected to by non-Catholics.
• Clarifies the true meaning of teachings that anti-Catholics often distort to attack the Church.
• Provides accurate answers to the most common objections non-Catholics have about Church teachings.
• Demonstrates how to share the riches of the Catholic Faith more effectively with those who find its practices "unscriptural," or to fallen-away Catholics.

Apologetics about Catholic Tradition.......2003-02-24
We can't have enough good books explaining the reasons for our Catholic beliefs and worship. Patrick Madrid once again does an immense service to the Church in this regard. A companion volume, also published by Our Sunday Visitor, would be David Lang's "Why Matter Matters: Philosophical and Scriptural Reflections on the Sacraments", wherein many Scriptural arguments for Catholic rites (i.e., the Sacraments) are furnished. This book also has a great Preface by Dr. Peter Kreeft.
Book Description
In a remote canyon in northern New Mexico the early morning stillness is broken by voices chanting praises to the Lord. And thus begins the daily cycle in the Godcentered life and search of the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert.Seeking God is a monastic tapestry. The daily life of the monks is interwoven with the seasonal changes and celebrations and the candid words of the monks as they speak of their life their hopes and doubts their hardships fears and joys their prayer. Weaving this tapestry together are the hauntingly beautiful chants songs of praise and reverence that echo through the darkness before dawn throughout the day through the solemnity of Vespers in the evening and Compline at night. The majestic beauty of the environment captured in every season reflects a peace and tranquility that becomes an integral part of this monastic tapestry. The high red rock walls of the canyon where eagles fly cradle the valley whose stillness is broken only by the flowing waters of the Chama River and the winds that occasionally funnel through. Seeking God presents the ongoing process of the monastic way through the words and activities of these Benedictine monks as they move through the day and through the seasons in their search for God through prayer work study and song.

Excellent resource for learning about the plain folk.......2006-11-06
The question asked by the title is thoroughly addressed by Mr. Scott in a very admirable manner of respect. With a heritage of plain dressing himself, the author necessarily focuses mostly on the people he is most familiar with. The book is thorough to a degree that is quite surprising - plain dress is complicated! There's a lot of information on practice as well as purpose, and the photos and diagrams are extremely imformative.
It is a rather poorly presented book. I think the publisher is to blame for photo quality that could have been better with a finer halftone screen. The paper choice combined with a magazine-like screen hampered the photos in my copy, and the photos are vital. It may simply be inconsistent print quality control, but this is an annoyance when I lay out good money for a book.
Overall, I have a very high opinion of the author and the book's content. This is perhaps the best book for anyone interested in the history and practice of plain dress.
Great Book!.......2003-08-21
This book is a well written, sensitive look at one aspect of plain people's practices. Quite often misunderstood, this book explains the "reasons" behind the dress practices as well as the distinctions. It is my understanding that the author is not just writing this from an impersonal, analytical vantage point, but rather plain dress is a personal and important value of his being a member of the Old Order River Brethren in Lancaster County, PA.
An excellent resource.......2003-08-11
This book is a fascinating look at the various Protestant (mainly Anabaptist) groups that wear plain clothes, focusing primarily on the Amish, Hutterites and Old Order Mennonites. The author grew up in a nominally Christian home, but over the years he found himself drawn more and more to the commitment of the plain clothes Christians that he saw. Eventually he himself embraced the plain clothes style mode, and this book is his labor of love.
This book tells you everything that you might want to know about these plain clothes groups, including why they dress the way that they do, how they dress, and the differences that exist in the items worn by plain clothes people. Along the way, the reader is treated to many wonderful black-and-white pictures of plain clothes people.
Overall, I found this to be a fascinating and informative book. If you are interested in the plain clothes people, then I would have to say that you must get this book. It is an excellent resource!
A lot of detail on the clothing............2003-01-08
This is a good addition to the library of someone studying the Old Order or 'plain people' groups. I have yet to find a more thorough breakdown of the different types of clothing worn by the four main branches of Old Order Anabaptist sects.
On the down side, the writing was not particularly well done and there were a few typographic errors. The section on Catholics and Hasidic Jews, though appropriate, were very short.
Despite the problems mentioned above, this is still a very good reference.
