Wonderful characterizations; sad and hopeless story.......2007-04-20
Alice Hoffman writes so beautifully, even of tragedy and deep sadness, exposing raw emotions and mystical feelings of her characters. I have very mixed feelings about this book - on one hand, the author's amazing talent makes a strong impression. This was a story of loneliness and I'm left with a rather empty sense of wondering what happened after I read the final page, as the story seemed to end rather abruptly without neatly tying up many loose ends. Every book I read these days seems to be about dysfunctional families and abusive/controlling men....I think I need to find more upbeat and hopeful reading material.
a haunting story.......2006-07-07
This is the fourth of Alice Hoffman's books that I have read in recent months, and I found Fortune's Daughter to be a beautifully written portrayal of two women coping with longing, loss, and letting go. Unlike many novels where romances drive the plotline, in Fortune's Daughter, the central relationships are between mothers and daughters -- real mothers, both through birth and adoption, and surrogates chosen by lonely young women in need of support. Hoffman's judicious use of magical realism heightens the emotions and vividly expresses the inner life of her characters. Highly recommended.
quite depressing.......2003-10-09
When I first started reading the book I did not know what to expect but I felt the book got worse as I read more and more. I found the book to be quite depressing none the less. The story is about a young woman named Rae and a fortune teller name Lila. Rae had run away from home and an early age with her boyfriend Jessup. When Rae tells Jessup that she is pregnant he decides that he is not ready to be a father and leaves his pregnant girlfriend so he can pursue his job in the movies. Lila the other character is a tea leaf fortune teller who had a rough time growing up. She became pregnant at an early age by her boyfriend who like Jessup left her. She did not tell her parents she was pregnant until her mother found out when Lila's water broke. Lila's parents would not even take her to the hospital because they were too ashamed of her and called Lila's cousin who was a nurse to help with the pregnancy. Lila's parents made Lila give up the baby for adoption and after that Lila fell in to depression. Lila is sent to her aunts to live with and meets her future husband Richard. These two women cross paths and build a relationship. Rae reminded Lila of how she was at that age, young, unmarried, and pregnant. Rae becomes depressed and ends up hurting her marriage because she is in search of her lost child. She hallucinates that she sees her daughter and so she has somewhat of an invisible daughter she believes is there. The end left me kind of disappointed because I wanted to know more of what would happen to these two women. I think Alice Hoffman writes in great detail and has a nice descriptive artistic flow to her writing. I still honestly found the book to be depressing because of Rae's dysfunctional relationship with Jessup and then Lila's depressive attitude. Details of Lila's labor I found were quite graphic and painful for me as the reader. Even her depressing incident of slitting her wrists was very disturbing. I would not recommend this book unless someone really is interested in disturbing and depressing stories or into fortune telling then you may enjoy it.
Mystical.......2003-05-02
Fortunes Daughter is about Rae, a young, unmarried girl who is awaiting the birth of her child and Lila, a fortune-teller with no interest in the future who lost her child when she was a young, unmarried girl.
Rae and Lilas lives, fates and futures intertwine as each tries to make peace with the past and become a better person for the future.
Not knowing the what the book was really about, Lilas fortune telling, visions, nightmares, spirituality stuff was different then what I would normally read. I didn't like how Lila was so emotionally torchered all her life and never fully found peace.
Without spoiling the storyline, I can say that as an Adoptive Mom I REALLY didn't like how one element of the book was treated. At all.
All in all, it was an OKAY read. I read it in a weekend and like all of Hoffmans other books, she pulls you in with her ability to turn everyday events into enchanting words.
Review of Fortune's daughter.......2002-10-29
Fortune's daughter was a novel that I found myself reading as often as possible. Each woman's story was touching and realistic. I could feel the emotions that Rae went through when her boyfriend left her pregnant and lonely. I cried for Lila as she revisited her painful past. This book was very well written and tied two woman together who needed each other whether or not they were ready to admit it. They were able to find strength in each other when no one else understood what they were going through. The outcomes of their situations were suprising and touching. I would definitly recommend this book to my girlfriends.
Book Description
In the tradition of Kristin Hannah and
Luanne Rice, Susan Wilson creates
characters we come to know in our hearts
as she explores the meaning of love.
Sabine Heartwood has finally found a home in the small, quiet town of Moose River Junction. After a childhood of moving from city to city with her footloose mother, fortune teller Madame Ruby, Sabine finds it deeply satisfying to recognize everyone she sees -- in the grocery store, at the local newspaper where she works, and in the town movie theater.
But "quiet" doesn't mean dull -- for Danforth Smith has returned from New York City to deal with family affairs, putting on hold his promising career as a film director, and Sabine feels an immediate connection to him. The psychic gift she inherited from her mother tells Sabine that Dan guards a painful secret, and soon her heart is as engaged as her empathy.
Then Ruby suddenly appears in Moose River Junction. She has never told her daughter why they moved so often, or from where they originally came -- but now she's finally ready to answer her daughter's lifelong questions about her past. And in typical dramatic fashion, Ruby also announces that Sabine will shortly be at a crossroad that determines her future. But which life-changing event does Ruby mean?
Sabine has "seen" a tragic event that occurred in Dan's family more than three hundred years ago, on land his ancestors owned, and she's finally facing the gift on which she turned her back many years ago. She's also dealing with the secrets Ruby has revealed about her history -- and at the same time she is facing the dilemma of loving Dan, who can't wait to leave the very town where she has grown roots. But Sabine must come to terms with all of those changes if she's to learn the truth of her own heart. Abounding in insight and generosity, The Fortune Teller's Daughter is a powerful exploration of love's complexities.

Great Reading.......2006-05-29
A story of a mother and daughter who never had a town they could call home. The daughter after graduating from college returns to a town(Moose River Junction) they briefly stopped in when she was a child. Gifted with second sight Sabine the daughter helps a neighbor discover why she is hearing strange sounds in her new home. Danny who lives in New York, but grew up in Moose River Juntion returns home to be with his terminally sick grandmother and mentally challenged uncle. This book was very enjoyable. I would reccomend this book to anyone who likes romance, mystery and a bit of ghost hunting.
superb.......2005-05-22
A lovely book exploring the meaning of home.
Sabine a woman looking to settle into a place after a life time of traveling falls in love with Dan a man bent on leaving the place she now calls home. Throw in some mystic experiences, a mother who 'knows things' and you have an excellent book. The book was well written with sensitivity. It is a true enjoyment to read.
Enjoy. Well worth the money.
Proof that "Home is where the Heart is"! A Pleasure!.......2003-05-03
I stumbled across this book accidentally in the paperback aisle of the grocery store and thought it would be a nice break from some of my recent literary endeavors! I didn't realize how engrossed I would become in this entertaining and well-written tale!
This is the story of Sabine Heartwood, whose feelings mirrored Dorothy Gale's in the Wizard of Oz in the belief that "there's no place to home". The tricky part for Sabine, however, was that her only home growing up was on the road with her gypsy-esque, fortune-teller mother, Ruby Heartwood. It is also the story of Danford ("Dan") Smith, who was reluctantly brought back home to take care of the affairs of his dying grandmother and mentally-handicapped uncle. The story unfolds as Sabine and Dan's lives are intricately woven together in an intriguingly romantic fashion!
This book was the definition of a mystical, suspenseful and, above-all, romantic search for the true meaning of "home". A revelation of pure and destined love! I am looking forward to reading more of Susan Wilson!
Highly Enjoyable.......2003-03-06
This is the first book I've read by this author. If you enjoy Patricia Gaffney or Penelope Williamson, you will enjoy this author. It's an excellent beach or by-the-fire read.
The main characters: Ruby, Sabine, and Dan are nicely drawn and you root for them through their trials and tribulations. As the book cover describes, Sabine is a woman without a history looking for a home of her own and Dan is a man with too much history looking to escape his home. Ruby, the "fortune teller" with no history has dragged Sabine from town to town, never never explaining why they cannot settle in one place for longer than six months. It's no wonder that Sabine wants to put down roots in a small town like Moose River Junction, a town rich with colonial history and not much current history. She meets Dan who is tied to the town as an ancestor of the founding fathers and by a deathbed promise. The eventual happy ending is reached after Sabine, Dan, and Ruby face up to past secrets and Sabine learns a secret of the town's history.
Anyone familiar with New England, the Berkshires in particular, will delight in the descriptions of the town and the spectacular views. This book is also enhanced by lively supporting characters that are realistically drawn. Dan's uncle Nagy is a sweetie and the yuppie couple who build the *perfect* colonial home and get more "colonial" than they bargain for are hilarious.
The story touches on interesting topics such as: psychic powers, fate and what makes a home. Sabine's powers of perception are delicately and realistically drawn, not bogus-sounding. The tidy ending makes sense of the fateful decisions that caused the lives of Sabine, Ruby, and Dan to intersect.
A magical book.......2003-02-28
Superb language and characters, intrigue, suspense and the supernatural all in a winning combination. A successful melding of romance and women's fiction which is sure to please.
I adored all of the characters, particularly Danforth and Sabine. At last, a strong romantic hero who does not have to be an alpha male and a multilayered heroine. Sensually delightful and well as intellectually.
No wonder it was selected as one of the top books of 2002 by Library Journal--it is well worth reading. Sorcha MacMurrough

In the glittering Advanced Dungeons & Dragons firmament, the star power of Ed Greenwood twinkles somewhere between the bright glow of E. Gary Gygax and the somewhat dimmer shine of Zeb Cook. As creator and Dungeon Master-in-chief of the enormously popular Forgotten Realms setting, Greenwood has secured his status as a legend of gaming--doubly so by inventing the Realms' most illustrious citizen (well, except for Drizzt Do'Urden, of course), Elminster of Shadowdale.
With Kingless Land, Greenwood breaks free of the Realms with a mainstream fantasy novel, the first title in his Band of Four series. But faster than you can say "melee round," you'll suss out that Greenwood's Band looks a heck of a lot like your classic dungeon-faring party: a thief (Craer, the "procurer"), a fighter (Hawkril, a "thick-headed sword-swinger" by Craer's estimation), a wizard (a hot babe whose baron-dad wants to turn her into a castle--neat!), and a cleric (the healer Sarasper, who also gets to be a shapeshifter, presumably to make up for the fact that clerics suck). So, predictably, Kingless Land doesn't cover much more ground than Greenwood's AD&D novels, which were always hit (Cormyr, with Jeff Grubb) or miss (Spellfire--ouch!) at best. But if you can get past the indulgently italicized fantasy bluster ("Sargh and bebolt it!"), Kingless Land certainly proves equal to the best of Greenwood's previous genre work, not unlike a night spent listening to the effortless spin of an expert DM. --Paul Hughes
Book Description
Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land--once prosperous and peaceful, it has now fallen into lawlessness, studded with feuding baronies engaged in a constant state of war. The only hope for peace lies in the legend of the Sleeping King: destined to rise and restore peace when the Dwaerindim stones are recovered.Lady Embra Silvertree is the sorceress daughter of a bellicose baron with an eye towards world domination. She has been imprisoned by her father who hopes to use her as a magical battery to fortify his castle. When a pair of good natured rogues attempt to steal one of her jewel encrusted gowns, they are quickly enlisted as allies to help her escape and, with the aid of a shape-shifting cleric, to seek out the Dwaerindim.

Middling.......2007-06-12
I thought this book was fair. I wanted to like it, and it had me intrigued enough to skim through the entire thing to figure out what happened in the end, but that's about it. I did not particularly enjoy the author's writing style and all the alliteration (intentional or not) is what finally forced me to skim the book instead of reading it outright. All in all, the only thing I can recommend is that if you're a prospective buyer, sit down in the book store and read a few chapters first - you'll probably get a feeling for whether or not this book is for you right away.
This book is atrocious.......2007-04-27
If it were possible to give negative stars I would do so for this poorly written farce. I've never read Ed Greenwood before, but he has the MOST ludicrious style of writing-- it's akin to some sort of drunken Shakespearean ramble, the way he throws in "henceforth" "anon" and every other word that makes fantasy readers' eyes roll. It doesn't seem like anyone edited this book, because the sentences don't even make sense. The descriptions are horrible and the way he writes about his female lead sound like a pubescent boy's fantasy (clingly, wet clothes, etc). UGH! I can't even keep the action straight because Greenwood has to use so many adjectives. Greenwood's habit of throwing randomly scary and deadly beasts/perils on our protagonists every other sentence is absurd. I have never read a fantasy book so poorly written and with such a pointless, mindless plot. Books like this give the fantasy genre a bad name. DON'T READ IT!
Player throws six, dungeon master summons zombie.......2006-11-16
The Kingless Land is the second Greenwood novel I've read and it suffers from the same failings as Spellfire the first one I tried. They both read like the transcript of a particularly bloody game of Dungeons and Dragons, with the motley group of heroes :-Thief, Mage, Knight and healer; being dumped in a series of relentless confrontations with assorted mystical and mundane foes. Fight follows fight with little rationale or explanation. When you get to a point where you could reasonably expect a breathing space for character building or plot, Greenwood skips it and teleports his hapless crew of good guys directly to the next bone crunching, gut spilling combat scene. It's really a book for the X-box generation, if you want a non stop spell slinging, sword swinging blood bath then this is the book for you. If you want characterisation and plot then there are definitely better authors to be found.
On the back cover Margaret Weiss is quoted as saying:-
"Ed Greenwood is a master of Fantasy adventure world building. His magic and wizardry are wondrous to all".
I can't agree it's generic, derivative and far too frenetic to be really good.
Where's the story ?.......2006-07-18
I am a big fan of the fantasy genre and have read many authors of many different styles. Mr. Greenwood is barely an author. To say there is little plot to his book is an understatement. I used to game with a number of players where one of them kept notes of our gaming session. The next time we came together to game, he would recap what occurred the last time we played. Mr. Greenwood apparently has this down to an art form. His book reads exactly like a D&D gaming session. I can't think of anything more boring than reading about someone else's D&D adventures. This is what it feels like to wade through The Kingless Land. I can summarize the book in one sentence. Action, action, action, minor annoying plot point, action, action, action minor annoying plot point. If you are, say, under the age of 13 and you can suspend your disbelief enough to enjoy a story where the main characters are beaten, brutalized, fried, beaten and brutalized again over a month period, in which they do not sleep or rest, then this book is for you. But for those fans of fantasy that are more discerning, by all means stay away.
The Band of Four Meet.......2006-05-15
It reads like a Dungeons and Dragon adventure. This new land Mr. Greenwood created is called Asmarand. And this story takes place in the region of Aglirta where the King has been in a magical sleep for centuries, and Barons fight for power. This is the world our band of heroes is formed in. The band consists of The Four, gruff warrior Hawkril, sly thief Craer, grumpy healer Sarasper and beautiful sorceress Lady Embra Silvertree. They have reckless adventures that seem to never end. And the battles are magical. Worth the read, but not sure I will continue the series unless the book just falls into my hands.

Welcome to the Caribbean.......2007-09-08
Did you like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? How about the Monkey Island computer games? Then you will LOVE this book.
John Chandagnac has come all the way from Europe to finish some family business. Little did he know he would fall in love, get kidnapped by pirates, fight off the Royal Navy, zombies, voodoo magic and end up trying to find the Fountain of Youth.
The best part of the book is that most of the characters have their own goals in mind and, while sometimes they are helping John, most of the time they are looking out for themselves. The mixture of history and fiction makes it great book for, well, anybody! Myth, magic, history and legends all in one story.
On Stranger Tides.......2007-02-28
Powers is an exceptioanllu imaginatiove writer. If you've heard of voodoo, read this for a well thought-out piece on how it might work in an alternative place.
A really fantastic view.......2007-01-18
Let's begin with the Fact that Powers is an exceptional writer. More than his books "Anubi's Gates", "Dinner" or "The Force in its Look", has been capable to speed the narrative style.
I never imagined that was possible to transfer the pirate ambient into a genuine fantasy novel. I mean, there's no a "dragon's opera", but a terrific approach to the pirates mythology. Of course, all in between a novel with interesting characters and a really good story.
Mildly entertaining, definitely well-written.......2007-01-03
I have read other books by Tim Powers, so I understand the way in which he blends several genres. I did not think that this book was as successful as some of the others that I have read, although it was definitely well-written and mildly entertaining. It might be frustrating to invest as much time as this book demands (because it is rather long) for some readers, only to end up feeling that the book really does not merit the effort. For me, it was a pleasant summer read.
Zombies and Sorcerers and Pirates, O My!.......2006-10-28
Tim Powers works a wondrous alchemy through his stories. He takes the familiar, known world, applies to it the philosopher's stone of his unique vision, and returns it to us utterly transformed - fascinating and fresh. In `On Stranger Tides', he has taken the familiar story of Blackbeard and his pirates and reshaped it into a compelling tale of eldritch magick. Blackbeard as a fierce warrior may be a tired tale often told, but Blackbeard as a fierce warrior and powerful voodoo sorcerer reshapes the familiar story into something new and strange, and impossible to put down.
Puppeteer turned pirate, Jack Shandy is a likable and fairly standard protagonist who, though down on his luck, is less flawed than the average Power's hero. While taking passage to the West Indies to try and claim a stolen birthright, he meets a charming young woman, his ship is attacked by pirates, and he is shanghaied into their ranks. He is drawn into a bizarre occult plot involving an obsessed and unbalanced Oxford don (the girl's father), and Captain Edward Thatch (Blackbeard), who we find is a powerful Voodoo shaman as well as a formidable pirate. As is usually the case with Power's plots, the history and the unique twists that he gives to it blend seamlessly into a thrilling tale.
I would rate `On Stranger Tides' right behind `Last Call' as one of Power's best works. The plot is fascinating and fast moving, the characters compelling, and the sense of an eerie otherness that is one of Power's trademarks is spot on. Trust me; you won't be able to put this one down until you finish the last sentence - highly recommended.

Not really one for us goyim.......2007-09-15
Reading Kosher By Design brings home a subtle distinction between Jewish food and Kosher food. The latter is the traditional food of Jews as was prepared in their ancestral homelands; the former is food prepared according to Jewish law. This is important, because Kosher By Design is about the latter. As a foodie who was raised Catholic and now identifies as atheist, this is going to color my perceptions of the book substantially.
Most of the recipes in this book are the sorts of things that can be easily found (and, if necessary, trivially modified) in mainstream cookbooks. To call them homey would be a bit of an understatement -- many of these recipes are the sorts of things that would be passed along on scraps of paper between friends. Many of them have a whiff of Sandra Lee about them, using some premade convenience foods here and there (as other reviews have pointed out, this occasionally compromises kosher observance). There is of course a decent amount of Jewish food in there -- there couldn't not be -- though most of it is American Ashkenazic, with a bit of a lack of diversity; even a few token Sephardic or Mizrachi dishes would be a good idea, especially given the author's emphasis on dish presentation. The layout of the book... well, it's not that it's unattractive, it just looks a bit dated, like it was published in 1983 and not 2003.
So, fundamentally, this cookbook has little to recommend it to anyone who doesn't keep a kosher kitchen -- with one big exception. It has very good coverage of all the important Jewish holidays, so for someone who wants to know more about Jewish observances, this is actually pretty good for that purpose. But to a more general audience... well, let's put it this way. If you happen not to have a diabetic in your family or circle of friends, you'll have little use for a diabetic cookbook, as virtually everything in there is a modification of something you can find elsewhere in an unmodified form. This book is much the same thing, which is not to say you might not find a few recipes you'd like despite not having a kosher kitchen, but it's definitely a look-before-buy proposition for a goyish buyer. It's not a bad book; it's just rather specialized.
Pretty Pictures, No Substance.......2007-01-04
I purchased this book because everyone in the community was gaga over it. What I found when I actually looked at it was that all it is is a bunch of pretty pictures and that's the big wow. Sure, the recipies are good, but they're not "Oh my G-d!" like everyone is about this book. It's got menues and organization tips. All in all, I'd say that this is a good book for someone who is young and just getting married who has never had to cook meals before. If you are an advanced cook who likes to make your own menues, is familiar with other recipies that are similar, and enjoys challenging recpies, this is not the book for you. It was sort of a disapointment. It's mostly hype.
I Like It.......2006-03-20
I think this is a great book for the kosher cook, and the price is fantastic - the lowest I've seen. The recipes are great, and the book is really beautiful. Would make a great gift for anyone who keeps kosher.
Excellent cookbook - the best there is.......2006-02-23
Great tasting easy to make and beautiful recipes! Total delight!
Mediocre recipes with intensive preparation.......2005-12-11
The recipes in this book are not in the least unique: there is nothing in these books not found in the standard modern cookbooks such as the New Joy of Cooking or Silver Palette. What differentiates these recipes is the superfluous use of packaged foods, such as boxed Italian dressing powder (which is basically salt and common spices), which actually makes them less friendly to the kosher cook since they may not be available supervised. Fishbein puts all her energy into the Design of the food, for instance suggesting that you buy individual pumpkins for each of your 16 sukkot guests in which to serve soup, or that you serve your Shavuot meal entirely out of flowerpots, or that you have different set of dishes for each of the holidays. These little tips do make amusing reading, but for that you can check the book out from the library.
