Won't ever be re-reading this one.......2005-03-31
This book gets a C at best. It's a typical story of a woman trying to learn about herself. She's from a broken home, raised by a Carribbean nanny... Nanny dies, girl (now a woman) goes to the funeral and gets a cold welcome from the Nanny's family. There are the expected class and racial issues, and the outcome is dull... Just a common story.
NOT a book that you would'nt want to put down.......2004-01-25
Alexandra Stryton's first book is about a young woman who is trying to discover who she is, and discovers it in the strangest place.
Addy Abraham was an angry child, until her new black new nanny comes to live in her house. Louise was the only one Addy loved, her mom being an actress who was always away.
Now, Addy lived in New york City and has a job at a museam restroring paintings. When her mom calls her with the news of Louise's death, she goes to the funeral in the Carribean.
But it turns out to be more that just a funeral. Addy confronts her past and comes back to the states a mentally healthy person.
Like I said, this is NOT a book that you wont wanna put down. Stryton's language is so powerful and descriptive that you will still remember quotes from the book long after you have read it.
(I dont think that this is just an adult book. Teenagers that like to read adult books will love this book too)
Is it a Movie Script or a Novel?.......2001-07-22
Alexandra Styron's "All the Finest Girls" is a slight novel with touches of some genuinely fine writing most of which comes at the end when the story has unfolded and the main character Addy is evaluating her life and that of her parents and her beloved nanny, Lou. At times in this novel Ms. Styron suffers from what I call "TonyMorrisonization" which translates as: make the prose so dense and so convoluted that it must be read at least twice to understand it. Oh yes, and flash forward and back as many times as possible(hence the allusion to a movie script in the title of my review). ... All and All a good first novel. Ms. Styron is talented and I look forward to her second effort.
A strong but haunting debut.......2001-07-10
I enjoyed reading All the Finest Girls, though I walked away with that slighly clammy feeling I get when reading about people who are treading the fine line of sanity. Addy Abraham is a sick little girl, driven to hallucinations and fits by the neglect and selfishness of her alcoholic father and simpering debutant of a mother. Her grip on sanity is strengthened by the arrival of Lou, her Caribbean nanny. Now that Lou has died, Addy as an adult travels to St. Clair, still unwell, to face the ghosts of her past. Ms. Styron has written the book by alternating chapters of the adult and child Addy, which works well and is easy to follow.
All the Finest Girls is a disheartening book, the story of a sad and lonely little girl whose parents have forgotten the cardinal rule of parenthood -- the parents are no longer the focus of attention. I did not find Addy to be a particularly likeable character, though; she managed to somewhat annoy and bore me at the same time. It was the supporting cast that realy shined in the novel, and I look forward to hearing more from Alexandra Styron. Also recommended along these lines is Bee Season by Myla Goldberg -- if you liked this one, you should give it a try.
An inspiring first effort!.......2001-05-31
Despite her literary pedigree (her parents are William and Rose Styron), or maybe because of it, I wasn't expecting Alexandra Styron's first novel to be anything special. Boy was I WRONG! All the Finest Girls is a touching story of misplaced motherhood, dislocated identity, and fractured childhood. Addy Abraham is a troubled young girl, neglected by her actress mother and upwardly-mobile father. Frustrated and alone, her only emotional expression seems to be horrific temper-tantrums which, of course, do not help ingratiate her into her parents lives. Addy is a lost girl in need of love. Enter Louise, the nanny from St. Clair. Starved for affection and attention, Addy is immediately drawn to Louise and they forge a mother-daughter relationship. The novel opens with Louise's death and Addy's subsequent visit to St. Clair to attend the funeral. The story of Addy's childhood unfolds gradually, via flashbacks, as her adult self is forced to confront the ugly truth about her relationship with her "black mother." All the Finest Girls is a heart-rending and very personal exploration of race relations and individual identity told with aplomb and grace. I look forward to Alexandra's next novel.
Book Description
Servant of the Dragon is the third book of the bestselling series Lord of the Isles, the towering fantasy epic that began with the title volume and continued last year in Queen of Demons. The rich and colorful journeys of Cashel and Sharina, Garric and Ilna throughout the many kingdoms of the Isles continue as Sharina is snatched back through time by the spirit of a wizard.Unlike most modern fantasy, Lord of the Isles is an epic with the texture of the legends of yore, with rousing action and characters to cheer for. Terry Goodkind
Customer Reviews:
Wizard Servant of the Isles of the Demon-Drake Lords, oh my!.......2004-06-08
Oh no, another one? I thought the first two books were great, and it should have ended there. Stealing from Virgil and Assyria, while sticking time-warped 20th century kids in late medieval Italy, was brilliant. I love a good semi-historical yarn. Oh, you say those kids didn't time-travel from the present to their ages of yore? Could have fooled me. Who hid the blue jeans?
The third book, for which I had to wait, had only one or two memorable scenes, and no tent pole ideas as tall as the first two books. Methought Drake had used up his source material, so I was glad when I could say I had finished reading the trilogy.
The series doesn't need to "explore relationships more deeply" -- it just needs some new ideas. Someone should give Drake a sabbatical.
I wrote this review after seeing the fourth book and thinking of it as an interminable homework assignment. Drake actually has quite a few good tricks in this third book, I just couldn't recall any of them until I read a one-paragraph refresher.
Repition does not make perfect.......2002-12-09
To start, I have to say that the Lord of the Isles series has kept me company on many otherwise boring and lonely nights. I enjoy the characters and their abilities, and I have to admit Tenoctris' constant modesty over her abilities and lack of power gets a chuckle out of me, particularly as she always seems to have just enough ability to do what is needed. None of the main characters ever fail in Drakes world. Well, it is fantasy. However, the series' attempt to be just that, a series, while also trying make each book a standalone, simply isn't working. Halfway through Servant of the Dragon, the constant backfill and reminders of a character's particulars became very annoying as I found myself saying out loud "Yes, I know, I know!" And the structure of the plot is also repetitive, as many have indicated. The reader can use more insight into the characters' darker side, as we have with Ilna, easily my favorite character. Everyone else is just a little too perfect. I would love to see Ilna lose out to the dark side of her persona, perhaps due to her jealousy of Liane, or have the others wonder that Garric is talking to himself maybe just a little too much. Garric needs to stop being so accommodating to his ancestral spirit Carus, and Tenoctris' spells need to fail significantly and at the wrong time. Maybe Cashel needs to realize what a powerful wizard he really is, perhaps too powerful. The possibilities for storylines and conflict are great given the character's current development. I hope in the future Drake may stray from his formula.
That said, I read fantasy to be entertained, and I like the characters the author has created. Overall it works for me, especially on those boring rainy snowy nights and long subway rides.
best one in series.......2002-03-20
I was reading these series because I thought the only interesting character is Ilna the Weaver, and I was curious about what happened to her. I was very surprised when I read this book and found it to be by far the best one in the series. The plot was much better than the first two books. Prince Garric and Tenoctris are trying to close the bridge that opens Valles to the cosmos, letting in dangerous creatures. Same old same old there, nothing new and exciting. Sharina is taken through the bridge by a creature that serves the Dragon, turning Sharina herself into a servant of the dragon. However, the Dragon is not evil, he needs her help to recover his mummy that is being used to destroy the world. He sends Sharina through many worlds with her new friend, the birdman Dalar. Cashel goes in search of Sharina and ends up in the Underworld after killing the wizard he was supposed to ask for help. He is accompanied by the wizard's ring, which has a demon trapped in it. The demon Krias is a refreshing addition to the stories with his witty sense of humor. He reminds me strongly of the faerie Mellie that Cashel befriended in Lord of the Isles. Lastly, my favourite character Ilna has her best adventures yet, which make the book a good and interesting read. She is taking the child Merota, niece of Lord Tadia, with her on a ship to Erdin. On the way they are shipwrecked on Yole, risen from the sea again with an army of dead things. Ilna meets the best character Drake has yet introduced into the story yet, the sailor/pirate Chalcus. He actually loves Ilna, and he let's us see her softer side. His witty humour and dialogue add a lot to the story. I found myself breathlessly waiting to find out what would happen to him and Ilna next. It seems that Drake has finally figured out how to write romance. He did a very poor job with Mellie and Halphemos. I was sad about Halphemos' death, but Chalcus is much better than he ever was.
What happened??.......2001-02-17
After the first two books, this reader expected the characters and the plot to develop. Unfortunately, Servant of the Dragon reads like a shopping trip to the fantasy stacks at the local bookstore! Drake established some really promising characters and world building in his first two books in the series, then in this installment, the reader is forced into all sorts of confusing battles where the main characters are seperated are tossed about from world to world facing unrelated situations. I really enjoyed his first two books but Servant is almost unreadable.
Still good but failing fast.......2001-01-30
I usually love David Drake. His writing is great, his tactics fun and imaginative. This book is no different. However, he has written over 2000 pages in this series, and he needs a new direction (not a new world - characters bounce between them about every 15 minutes - which gets kind of annoying). The characters started out interesting, but they have yet to change or really DO anything. Ilna is whiny, Cashel sort of hits everything, etc. My biggest problem is the romance. Romance in fantasy is fine. Lack of romance in fantasy is fine. However, Drake made it (to me at least) very clear that certain people liked certain other people by the end of the first 100 pages in Lord of the Isles. And, despite those people switching worlds about as often as we turn the pages and even going to Hell for each other, nothing has happened. Given the sheer number of pages involved in all this, I have to give Drake the all-time Character Interaction Rut award. The series can be salvaged, but if he doesn't change people's behavior and relationships in the next one, I'm back to rereading my Belisarius books.

Skin has an authentic X-Files feel to it--the right mixture of scientific plausibility and mystical overtones to keep both Scully and Mulder interested and on the trail. Skin taken from an unknown body found at the site of a road accident is grafted over the burns suffered by a mild-mannered professor who then goes berserk, killing a nurse. Mulder and Scully try to trace the source of the skin graft and uncover links with a biotech company called Fibrol International, whose deceased CEO, Emile Paladin, was in charge of a MASH unit in a village in Thailand during the Vietnam War. Traveling to the remote village, Mulder is intrigued to learn about a local cult that worships a mythical monster, the Gin-Korng-Pew, or Skin Eater. Meanwhile, Scully follows more prosaic leads in search of Paladin's reclusive brother.
Mezrich's descriptions of medical procedures feel authentic, and he keeps the story moving along at a good pace, with several dangerous moments for both Mulder and Scully and a significant body count among the witnesses. The mixture of FBI investigation, horror, and the occult, with overtones of paranoia about the activities of the military, should appeal to X-Files fans, while others may enjoy it as an entertaining adventure. --Liz Sourbut, Amazon.co.uk
Book Description
Fatal Flesh
When moonlighting medical students "harvesting" skin from a corpse for temporary use accidentally take it from the wrong donor, the results are catastrophic: a New York City hospital ward is destroyed in a bloodbath, and an elderly professor, admitted for a routine skin graft, is suddenly the city's most wanted fugitive.
Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are the only ones to suspect something more ominous than a medical procedure gone awry. As the FBI agents investigating the "X-Files"--strange and inexplicable cases the Bureau wants to keep hidden--Mulder and Scully are determined to track down the forces they suspect are behind the murderer.
While the police hunt the fleeing professor, Mulder and Scully track the skin that was grafted onto him, a trail that leads from the morgue to the headquarters of a cutting-edge biotech company to the jungles of Thailand. Together they begin to uncover an unholy and totally deniable alliance between a battle-trained plastic surgeon, international politicians, and a legendary Thai monster known as the "Skin-Eater."

Not Bad, Not Bad.......2007-08-04
This book took me almost 2 years to read (not because it was bad, but I have a hard time reading a book without putting it down for months at a time). I've owned it for 7 years, finally finished it last night and was actually quite impressed with it. I've read all but "Ruins" of the X-Files novels (that is next) and once I picked this back up about a month ago, I had a hard time putting it down. I found "Antibodies" to be the best of the series though.
Quick Plot: (Lets see if I remember this right) Mulder and Scully are investigating the case where a man who received a skin transplant from a John Doe became excessively violent and powerful. They travel and uncover a gruesome secret that has been going on for more than 25 years.
One note: There is a mistake in the book. The author mentions that Scully has a cross necklace, but mistakenly identifies it as being silver, not gold.
Book Goes South and Doesn't Recover.......2007-05-15
I finished this a few weeks ago and was disappointed. It's not that Mezrich isn't a good writer; he's probably the best of the bunch among the X-Files novel adaptationists.
Here's where things go south in Skin.
After Mulder and Scully get Skinner's permission to go to Thailand to pursue leads, it seems that the detail, atmosphere, and grittiness, which Mezrich does a great job of setting up, are largely tossed out the window. In Thailand, the atmosphere seems forced, the villians cardboard cutouts, and the plot preposterous.
Also, if you were a fan of Mulder's wry humor, there's little if any of that to be found here.
Kevin J. Anderson's novelizations, while not perfect, remain true to the spirit of the TV show.
Great X-Files Tale But With A Very Different Interpretation Of The Key Characters.......2005-08-29
"The X-Files: Skin" is a very well written, well-paced and imaginative horror tale that succeeds brilliantly at making what might otherwise seem far-fetched instead come off as completely plausible. The FBI's X-Files mainstays, Mulder and Scully, are caught up in a series of savage murders that somehow have a connection both to an illegal tissue-and-organ harvesting operation and a legendary Thai monster called the Skin Eater. Vivid descriptions of place and situation, plus use of very engaging and memorable supporting characters created specifically for this book are highpoints in what should be a highpoint in the whole X-Files mythos.
Where we run into trouble, or where I do anyway, is with the main players: Mulder, Scully and Assistant Director Skinner all come off very differently than I interpret them from their screen appearances. It's totally subjective of course, depending on how each person has previously perceived the characters, but this runs counter to my take on them. Mulder and Skinner seem almost like they hate each other's guts and are on the verge of coming to blows at times - totally different from my own interpretation, where Skinner is often frustrated by Mulder's bending of the FBI protocols and Mulder's often frustrated by Skinner's overadherence to those same rules (even though Skinner's their closest ally among the FBI's higher-ups), but underneath those frustrations I always sensed a lot of mutual respect and even a (subtly presented) growing friendship as the run of the show progressed. Dana Scully was, of course, the skeptic of the team, especially in its early years, and not the most emotionally extroverted person one's going to encounter, but in this book her presentation is beyond that - she seems cold and mostly devoid of compassion, which again is totally different from my take on the character.
It's a testament to the book's strengths and the author's skills that it came off so powerfully well in spite of this large flaw (then again, to another reader it may not be a flaw at all; it may be closer to their own take on the characters). So good I can't even consider writing it off in spite of the character discrepancies, and has me wanting to read more of Mezrich's work. Would have easily been a full 5 stars if the lead characters hadn't been so different from how I think of them; good enough despite that to actually manage to stay at four.
Story - 5/5
Writing- 4.5/5
Lead Characters From The Show - 2.8/5 (I have to admit they're very well written and well realized even if I don't agree with the take on them, and their dialogue is perfect, just not the inner thought processes revealed)
Other Characters, Good, Bad Or 'Neutral' - 4.5/5
A competent, but not great book on tape.......2005-02-17
I heard this as a book on tape. It was narrated by Bruce Harwood, who portrays the most 'normal' of the conspiracy-addicted threesome known as 'the Lone Gunmen' on the X-Files TV show. Harwood does a competent, but ultimately uninspiring job of narrating the story. In fact, this is also a decent description of the book as a whole. It is okay, but not great. The characters act like they are supposed to, but those wry comments from Fox are mostly non-existent and Scully is just not quite right throughout most of the book.
The plot itself was okay. The ending was a bit anti-climatic.
It's entertaining, but not great entertainment.
A Good Science Fiction Novel.......2004-04-02
In the Novel The X-Files Skin By Ben Mezrich Mulder and Scully are trying to find the person behind the disease thats on the skin and that gets people with superhuman strength and then dies later on. In the beginning of the book these two med. students are getting skin of a donor that is already dead for a professer that burned his skin in a water heater accendent that a bunch of steam went on his thigh. so after the opperation the doctor said he's find and everything went wrong from there. Agent Fox Mulder and Dana Scully got on the scene and ask workers and police what happened to the body of the professer where did it go and so on then they see a bloodbath in the Hosptial room where Perry Stanton was at and not no more only to find a nurse on the ground dead. As the Agents are investigating this strange case the Bureau is keeping everytthing hidden from Mulder and Scully. soon on Mulder and Scully are in Thailand searching for an abandoned MASH unit were nalpalm victims were treated for there injuryies even if some of the victims were nursed back to health and may not see there famlies. Scully goes on a hunt to find a experimental medical technology while Mulder stakes are even more higher than scully's while they try to find the Thai Monster known has the Skinn Eater. Ben Mezrich did a real good job in creating this novel because it even says on the back of the novel he's a X-Files Fan for many years and that he used to draw cartoons for a living but in the book he did good explaining every detail that Mulder and Scully went through, how everything that happened from begining to end. I my self really liked this novel its one of the best Science Fiction novels I read and i like the X-Files on tv because im really into top secert stuff like when Mulder searches for aliens and he thinks theres life out there so I think who ever likes the X-Files or Science Fiction Novels you should read this book

A study of exoteric and esoteric aspects of religions.
Customer Reviews:
A book forever.......2005-03-22
This book is just fundamental. It is the kind of work which lasts forever, because what it teaches us is something which does not change with time. The reader who usually reads modern philosophy or scholarly works on religions will enter a different world when he takes the decisive step of reading Schuon.
transcendent..dont forget the transcendent in the title.......2005-02-10
This book was schuons first full literary venture...his thought developed a great deal after this.
an important point...many overlook, for example one of the reviewers above, is that schuon talks about unity on a transcendental level,not on a level of manifestation.
the religons are different and serve diferent purposes at the worldly level..it is only when their esoteric reality is realised does the unity become apparent.what he is saying is that reality is multi level and some things contradict each other like religion at a certain level,but when a person comprehends a higher level of reality the contradictions become re-conciled.
as with all Schuons books...their are too many spiritual assumptions taken for granted,for those without a deep understanding of religon,this book will be incomprehensible...its a guidebook for the religous scholar or esoteric practitioner,not the layman.
For example the bahai faith is excatly the opposite of what schuon is talking about,people who mix religions only create a false one,and that to practise one religon fully or embrace it it.
Schuon does not pander to the liberal mind set,so those looking for some kind of light hearted,`were all the same' apologist agenda will be dissapointed.
If you only read one book this year, this should be it.......2003-01-16
In my opinion, this is one of the most important books published in the 20th century, and there has never been a time when reading it is a must for every intelligent person out there than our present time .
I can not recommend this book more , nor could I agree more with what T.S. Eliot wrote about it: "I have met with no more impressive work in the comparative study of Oriental and Occidental religion"
Huston Smith, probably the most eminent scholar of comparative religion studies in the US today and who wrote the introduction to this book, described Frithjof Schuon as: "The man is a living wonder; intellectually à propos religion, equally in depth and breadth, the paragon of our time. I know of no living thinker who begins to rival him..."
If you only read one book this year, this should be it

peace through understanding.......2002-02-28
This book clearly demonstrates the unity of all religions, although being different in their forms, from a metaphysical point of view.As such it helps to understand all religions, and their extrinsic orthodoxy, putting an end to the quarrels among some exponents of these religions, who feel to prove the validity of their religion, they must disprove the other religions.
Good, but something's missing.......2001-03-01
Schuon's book is a work of towering achievement. His esoteric/exoteric framework provides an important method of conceptualizing the world religions. The one omission by Schuon is the Baha'i religion. He does not deem it necessary to treat it as the latest in a line of Revelations beginning with Abraham in the Semitic tradition and the Vedas in the Indic tradition. It seems to me the Baha'i religion (I'm not talking about the validity of the beliefs of its adherents here, but merely its claims)is a Revelation aimed at bringing into Reality the "transcendent unity of religion." To omit a religion with such a claim from analysis is an oversight. I give the work 5 stars based on what it deals with: the religions of the world up to Islam.
