Very well done version of Alice in Wonderland
By MeghanMMurphy
I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and I truly fell in love with the story. The characters are very intriguing and interesting, as well as funny and romantic. I love the Alice in Wonderland story, and I have had a hard time finding an anime or manga version of this story. And since I finished the first volume in one day, I can't get enough of it. I wanted to buy all three volumes at once because it is that good of a story. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy and fairy tales. I rate it a five out of five :D

A very different, very fun Alice in Wonderland
By Jude
~3.5/5
[Also available on my blog.]

Firstly, I'm not going to be comparing this series to the original Alice in Wonderland much. (1) Because I just don't care about the similarities all that much and I'm not really looking for any, or noticing them, aside from maybe a very obvious same plot line or same character. And (2), because they are very different. This story, from the beginning, took a different route, took the story in a different direction. And I realize that some people are very picky about that, and don't like this series because of things like that, but I was honestly pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this volume.

I found this story interesting when I first heard about, and tried reading it once but I think I just mostly wasn't in the mood for it. I'd planned to pick it up at some point, but I didn't, and then Tokyopop went down, and I still didn't. But then Yen Press picked it up, and I found it for a really good price online and got it. After reading the first book, I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed it.

So the book starts with Alice waking up from a dream that mentioned some kind of game, and, as expected, she's sleeping on the grass as her sister reads a book next to her. Psychology is mentioned, and her sister tells her about the book she's reading, which is, of course, Alice in Wonderland. And then her sister leaves to get some cards for them to play, and Alice proceeds to fall asleep again. She wakes up when a clothed rabbit goes past, but when she tries to fall back asleep, the rabbit comes back to wake her up, claiming she is supposed to follow him, and then picking her up and bringing her with him down the rabbit hole.

When they get there, he kisses her in order to make her drink some kind of liquid that enforces she play part in some game, and makes it so she has to finish before going back home. She's confused, and angry at the rabbit, and we later find out that the glass the liquid came from will slowly refill the farther in the game she gets, and once it's completely filled up, she can go home.

She ends up staying at the clock tower with Julius, the clock maker/fixer, who tells her about Wonderland (the town is actually called the Country of Hearts, I believe, but I'm going to be calling it Wonderland). Apparently there's some kind of feud going on between the three different parts of the town, the Heart Castle, where the rabbit Peter White and the Queen Vivaldi and Ace reside, the Amusement Park, where the Cheshire cat Boris and (Mary) Gowland live, and the Hatter Mansion, where the hatter Blood Dupre and Elliot March and the Bloody Twins (Dee and Dum) live. The clock tower, where Julius lives and Alice is staying, is neutral land.

While in this `dream', Alice also sleeps and dreams, and in her dreams, she meets Nightmare, who tells her some things about the world and why she's there and some things about herself. Including that everyone in Wonderland is going to love her, and that this world is of her making. This makes her wonder if they're falling in love with her because she wants them to, and is she really that self-centered? From there, I really enjoy her little musings about the world.

This Wonderland is very interesting. The time changes at random, turns daylight and dark at any time, and, much like the cards in the original, all of the helpers at each place have no face and are easily replaced. Everyone, really, is easily replaced, and people are always getting killed. I won't spoil too much more about that, because there are these afterimages, and things get done with the bodies and their `hearts' that were a bit of a surprise and is causing a controversy in their world, and I don't want to spoil too much.

There are several guys, all of whom are supposedly falling in love with Alice, and I'm interested to see what happens with that, especially since some of them are fighting already and Alice is causing some jealous feelings to erupt. At this point, I'm not sure who I want her to be with, either. I'm thinking that the Hatter, Blood Dupre, is the obvious choice, but I also quite like Ace, and there's something about the cheshire Boris that I like as well... I'm not sure where my feelings about them all are going at this point, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Also, I am happy to say that I do like Alice. She's just curious enough, and she's also very kind and is always trying to stop everyone from killing each other, and I like how she thinks about everything. She's wondering if all of it is her making, and what that means about her, and she kind of wants no part in any of this, but she's obviously getting a bit attached and is going to end up too deep in all of it. She's also a bit feisty; she sticks up for what she believes in, and when she doesn't like something or someone (like the rabbit Peter) she lets them know.

There are some dark things brewing, between each area and some possible scandalizing things happening behind closed doors. Also, some of the people in this world are representing people from Alice's real world, including her sister and her sister's boyfriend (who is also the guy that Alice likes), which is obviously going to cause some drama. As is the fact that everyone is growing to love her but she can only choose one, and only for the amount of time that she's there. Unless, of course, something neat happens to change that, which I hope does happen. Oh, and at the beginning we're introduced to some kind of game she's inadvertently become a part of, one of the rules including that when she leaves, she has to take someone with her, I think?. I'm hoping to hear more about that in the next book, since not much of what the game actually is was explained.

I mentioned above that I'm not going to compare much, and how this is so different from the original, and it is. There are similarities in the characters, but they are very different people, and they even look quite different. For instance, the Cheshire and the march hare and the rabbit are human, but with cat/bunny ears. The Cheshire cat is the most different in that respect, and his personality is as well. He's much more adorable, and doesn't seem to know everything about everyone quite as much.

I liked Alice in Wonderland, and enjoy most forms that it's told, and I'm enjoying this one a lot, but I'm always very wary of the stories. Because, while I'm getting wrapped up in the story and falling for the characters, I have to remember that Alice wakes up at some point, and, in most versions, she doesn't bring any of the characters with her. So, whatever happens while in Wonderland, she has to leave it all behind. I'm thinking that maybe the person she really falls for she will get to be with when she wakes, but I'm still unsure and very wary.

I'm rather looking forward to the next book, now.

Oh, as a sidenote: the covers. I think the covers are very pretty, and the artwork is also very nice; the artwork isn't overly flowy or gorgeous, but it is very nice and detailed and I like looking at it; the outfits are especially nice. And I think how the covers are turned to the side is neat. But the fact that the covers are turned to the side, and the back cover looks like it's upside down to me, makes me disoriented, and almost every time I pick it up, it's upside down. I'm not quite sure why this is, but it is disorienting and that's bothers me, even while I do like the idea; maybe it's just me?

Also, I remember mentioning in one of my other omnibus review that it looked like the publisher(/editor/whoever) put little to no effort into making the two books look like one, in that when the first book ended, it (I think?) said some version of `to be continued' and had copyright pages before moving into the next book, and that bothered me a tiny bit. I was happy to see that this volume was different from that. I could tell when one volume ended, but only because the chapter ended slightly different from the others at the halfway point, but there wasn't too much of a difference or pause between chapters, and I liked that, and there was also an index at the beginning of the book for the whole two volumes, and I liked that. I mean, it's not really that big of a deal, I guess, but I like that fact that it shows the publisher made more of an effort than just printing the two books in one binding.

Welcome to A Wonderland You Never Imagined!
By Books, Vertigo and Tea
As a fan of Wonderland, I cannot get enough of this manga. Be warned though that this retelling of a classic is not intended for younger audiences. I would say that this falls under the "harem" genre. Alice in the Country of Hearts puts an entirely new spin on a classic story in a way that many of the previous attempts have failed. It is unique! While maintaining familiar characters and the basic principle of Alice's journey into Wonderland, this series manages to incorporate entirely original twists and plots within the story.

We follow Alice Liddell as she is kidnapped by Peter Rabbit and forced into the Country of Hearts, where she seems to be the eye of everyone's desires and fantasies. We find that the characters we have known in the classic tale have been given new life as we are introduced to the Country of Hearts denizens, all of which wield weapons and a strong hate towards one another. Surrounded by violence and constant admirers, Alice quickly learns that the land is divided into territories and life in this strange place is one big game. A game that everyone must play. She is set on confronting her abductor and giving him a piece of her mind and finding a way home. But will Alice really wish to leave once she realizes that this is a world she may have conjured up based on her own feelings of ineptness and jealousy in her home land, where she was jilted by a lover who choose her own sister over her? A lover that just so happens to looks exactly like the gun toting, mafia leading Mad Hatter.

Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America, by Annie Jacobsen

The explosive story of America's secret post-WWII science programs, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Area 51

In the chaos following World War II, the U.S. government faced many difficult decisions, including what to do with the Third Reich's scientific minds. These were the brains behind the Nazis' once-indomitable war machine. So began Operation Paperclip, a decades-long, covert project to bring Hitler's scientists and their families to the United States.

Many of these men were accused of war crimes, and others had stood trial at Nuremberg; one was convicted of mass murder and slavery. They were also directly responsible for major advances in rocketry, medical treatments, and the U.S. space program. Was Operation Paperclip a moral outrage, or did it help America win the Cold War?

Drawing on exclusive interviews with dozens of Paperclip family members, colleagues, and interrogators, and with access to German archival documents (including previously unseen papers made available by direct descendants of the Third Reich's ranking members), files obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, and dossiers discovered in government archives and at Harvard University, Annie Jacobsen follows more than a dozen German scientists through their postwar lives and into a startling, complex, nefarious, and jealously guarded government secret of the twentieth century.

In this definitive, controversial look at one of America's most strategic, and disturbing, government programs, Jacobsen shows just how dark government can get in the name of national security.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* By the end of 1945, the alliance of the Western powers with the Soviet Union had frayed, and the basic outlines of what would become the Cold War had taken shape. At the same time, military, scientific, and political leaders in the U.S. had become acutely aware of the value of German scientists responsible for great advances in rocketry and biological research under the Nazis. So, in August 1945, President Truman authorized the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), a division of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), to aggressively “recruit” German scientists to come to the U.S. and to work for various government-affiliated programs. Truman had stipulated that members of the Nazi Party were not to be included. As Jacobsen, an investigative journalist, illustrates, the JIOA adroitly sidestepped Truman’s directive through an intense program of fraud and deception. Documents were forged or altered, wartime activities were covered up, and, in some cases, entirely new identities were created, all in the service of our national interest. Some of these men were only marginal Nazis, but some were fervent “true believers” directly responsible for war crimes. This is an engrossing and deeply disturbing exposé that poses ultimate questions of means versus ends. --Jay Freeman

Review
One of The Boston Globe's Best Books of 2014

One of iBooks' Top Ten Nonfiction Books of the Year

"Important, superbly written.... Jacobsen's book allows us to explore these questions with the ultimate tool: hard evidence. She confronts us with the full extent of Paperclip's deal with the devil, and it's difficult to look away."―Matt Damsker, USA Today (4 stars)

"With Annie Jacobsen's OPERATION PAPERCLIP for the first time the enormity of the effort has been laid bare. The result is a book that is at once chilling and riveting, and one that raises substantial and difficult questions about national honor and security...This book is a remarkable achievement of investigative reporting and historical writing."―Boston Globe

"As comprehensive as it is critical, this latest expose from Jacobsen is perhaps her most important work to date.... Jacobsen persuasively shows that it in fact happened and aptly frames the dilemma.... Rife with hypocrisy, lies, and deceit, Jacobsen's story explores a conveniently overlooked bit of history." -- Publishers Weekly (starred)

"The most in depth account yet of the lives of Paperclip recruits and their American counterparts.... Jacobsen deftly untangles the myriad German and American agencies and personnel involved...more gripping and skillfully rendered are the stories of American and British officials who scoured defeated Germany for Nazi scientists and their research."―New York Times Book Review

"Chilling, compelling, and comprehensive accounting.... Jacobsen's impressive book plumbs the dark depths of this postwar recruiting and shows the historical truths behind the space race and postwar US dominance. Highly recommended for readers in World War II history, espionage, government cover-ups, or the Cold War." -- Library Journal (starred)

"Darkly picaresque.... Jacobsen persuasively argues that the mindset of the former Nazi scientists who ended up working for the American government may have exacerbated Cold War paranoia."―New Yorker

"An engrossing and deeply disturbing exposé that poses ultimate questions of means versus ends." -- Booklist (starred)

"Annie Jacobsen's Operation Paperclip is a superb investigation, showing how the U.S. government recruited the Nazis' best scientists to work for Uncle Sam on a stunning scale. Sobering and brilliantly researched." -- Alex Kershaw, author of The Liberator

"Throughout, the author delivers harrowing passages of immorality, duplicity and deception, as well as some decency and lots of high drama. How Dr. Strangelove came to America and thrived, told in graphic detail." -- Kirkus Reviews

"[A] gripping, always disquieting story of a nation forced to trade principle for power.... Jacobsen gives us many vivid moments.... OPERATION PAPERCLIP takes its place in the annals of Cold War literature, one more proof that moral purity and great power can seldom coexist."―Chris Tucker, The Dallas Morning News

"Jacobsen uses newly released documents, court transcripts, and family-held archives to give the fullest accounting yet of this endeavor." -- The New York Post

"Doggedly researched." -- Parade

"A compelling work with interesting historical and personal revelations."―Jay Watkins, CIA's Intelligence in Public Literature

Troubling, often difficult to stomach, but in the end an important book about moral shortcuts at the highest levels.

Annie Jacobsen plunges us head first into the grim dossiers of some of the most celebrated names in America’s space program in her well researched book on the infamous World War II project called Operation Paperclip. Designed to prevent Nazi Germany’s scientific minds from taking their weapons-making skills to Russia, Paperclip instead devolved into a US government-sanctioned safe harbor for more than a hundred SS thugs and cold killers. “Humans and machine parts went into the tunnels,” writes Jacobsen of the underground assembly areas for Hitler’s V-2 rockets. “Rockets and corpses came out.” Most famously, Jacobsen tells the story of the well known SS officer Werner Von Braun who today has a performing arts center named after him near the rocket center in Huntsville, Alabama but who during the war showed little concern for the thousands of concentration camp workers who built his rockets in the death mills of the underground mines called the Mittelwerks. Rather than stand trial for his inhumanity, von Braun was brought to American and treated like a celebrity, his horrific past notwithstanding.
In alike matter, one name after the other pours forth from the pages of Jacobsen’s book at a pace that at times seems overwhelming but that in the end paints a portrait of a large-scale moral rationalizations set against the looming crisis of the Cold War. Jacobsen presents her material with detail never before seen in print masterfully laying out the facts without undue sensationalism.

Troubling, often difficult to stomach, but in the end comprehensive, this well written account is a warning to those of us today who are tempted to believe that “national security” forgives past sins or that “national interest” trumps morality. Thankfully, Ms. Jacobsen’s excellent books tells us that quite the opposite is true.

A powerful book that will change your view of the Defense Department
By americangadfly
After Nazi Germany's surrender to the Allies, sixty of the world's most evil human beings gathered as prisoners at Kransberg Castle twenty miles north of Frankfurt. This building was the former headquarters of Hermann Göring's Luftwaffe. It was here that American military intelligence officers began the process of deciding their fates. Send them to trial at risk of the gallows. Or spirit them away to war department laboratories in America. (Or do both, and then commute their sentences as if justice did not matter.)

Jacobsen's book tell this story. It's a big one, and she has conducted a massive amount of research and made it readable with a lively narrative style. Some of those scientists did go to face trial at Nuremberg. But others were brought into the U.S. and put quietly back to work.

The newly formed Joint Intelligence Objective Agency, or JOIA, had decided that these scientists were too valuable to the U.S. to allow to fall into Soviet hands. The initiative started by JOIA, Operation Paperclip, was a covert American operation that was one of the most guarded U.S. government secrets of the 20th century. Some of the scientists who were part of it were well known -- Albert Einstein for one. But others had much darker pasts:

* Otto Ambros was a Third Reich chemist who served as director of the German corporation that produced the gas used in the death camps. He was tried at Nuremberg, found guilty of mass murder, and sentenced to eight years. While he was serving time in prison, Operation Paperclip officials arranged for his sentence to be commuted. In 1951, Ambros was hired to work at a clandestine facility north of Frankfurt called Camp King. His work, sanctioned by the Defense Department, ultimately involved the testing of sarin toxins on American soldiers without their knowledge.

* Arthur Rudolph was a Nazi rocket scientist who played a key role in the V-2 rocket program. One of Operation Paperclip's earliest hires, Rudolph, in the U.S., worked his way up through the ranks of NASA to become project director of the Saturn V rocket program. Ultimately, Rudolph was led to confess to war crimes, but his work is all over the U.S. aeronautics technology.

* Kurt Blome, a virologist, pioneered Hitler's secret germ warfare program. Specializing in plague research, Blome conducted human tests on concentration camp prisoners and was a defendant at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial. Acquitted, Blome was instrumental in the U.S. germ warfare program.

Jacobsen's book tells a dramatic story about morality and expediency, and the ethical quandaries that arise when the former is sacrificed for the latter. She writes with a sense of drama, and has clearly found materials (judging by her source notes) that have eluded other authors. Her book can be recommended to anyone who likes biography, World War II history, or science narratives.

Deals with the devils
By Rolf Degen
This book is absolutely, breathtakingly fantastic. I am a German, I always thought that I knew everything about our "dark past", and then comes Annie Jacobsen with this treasure trove of unbelievable, mind boggling new revelations. The period is the same where the narrative of the Monuments Men is taking place, in the rubble of the Third Reich, and there is this American task force searching desperately for the whereabouts of the legendary "wunderwaffen" - and the dark geniuses who built them. The greed for these history changing inventions is so enormous, that rules are bent, laws are broken, monsters brought to the USA. The stories of the individual actors are harrowing and, at times, perversely sickening. A great deal of this information had never before been made public. Endless suspicions are raised (Why did Albert Speer get that light sentence at Nuremberg?). I am an author myself and I wish I had written this jewel. The Monuments Men has been filmed by Hollywood, but this is far more explosive dope. Annie, I wish you get your movie!

Lost (Joseph O'Loughlin), by Michael Robotham

Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz doesn't know who wants him dead. He has no recollection of the firefight that landed him in the Thames, covered in his own blood and that of at least two other people. A photo of missing child Mickey Carlyle is found in his pocket--but Carlyle's killer is already in jail. And Ruiz is the detective who put him there.

Accused of faking amnesia, Ruiz reaches out to psychologist Joe O'Loughlin to help him unearth his memory and clear his name. Together they battle against an internal affairs investigator convinced Ruiz is hiding the truth, and a ruthless criminal who claims Ruiz has something of his that can't be replaced. As Ruiz's memories begin to resurface, they offer tantalizing glimpses at a shocking discovery.

From Publishers Weekly
Det. Insp. Vincent Ruiz (a supporting character in Robotham's debut, Suspect) is hauled out of the Thames with a bullet wound in his leg and no memory of a shooting, let alone how he wound up in the water in Robotham's fine, moody second thriller. Keebal, a nasty cop from internal affairs, hounds Ruiz from the start, and everyone seems to know something Ruiz doesn't. When psychologist Joe O'Loughlin (the protagonist of Suspect) shows Ruiz a picture of young Mickey Carlyle—a seven-year-old girl kidnapped three years earlier whom everyone but Ruiz thinks is dead—he figures there must be some connection between her case and his shooting. Despite his injuries, Ruiz retraces this investigation with the help of his partner, a young Sikh woman named Ali. The past returns in dribs and drabs and none too gently. Mickey is the daughter of a Russian-born crime lord, Aleksei Kuznet; a cache of diamonds and a man known as a "grooming paedophile" also figure prominently in the splintered plot. The warm relationship between Ruiz and Joe, who suffers from Parkinson's, counterpoints the main story line's grit. Robotham works some good wrinkles into Ruiz's relationship with Ali and an empathetic nurse, too. The result is a thoughtful and subtle thriller, with convincing, three-dimensional characters. (Feb.)

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School Robotham's second mystery features some of the cast from Suspect (Doubleday, 2005), including Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz and clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin. The fast-paced action opens with a half-dead Ruiz being fished out of the Thames. When he awakens from his coma, he has no memory of why he was in the river, almost dead from a bullet wound to his leg, nor can he remember anything from the week leading up to his injury. With the help of O'Loughlin, Ruiz begins piecing together details that show he was following up on the disappearance of eight-year-old Mickey Carlyle. The only problem? Mickey disappeared three years earlier, and a sexual predator has been convicted of her murder. As Ruiz retraces his steps, he relives several incidents from his past that are linked to his need to investigate a closed case. This is a fast-paced thriller with plenty of adventure; Ruiz's hunt for answers takes him deep into the sewers below London and into the cold waters of the Thames. The characters are complex; Ruiz, the son of a Gypsy woman raped by German soldiers in World War II, is haunted by the childhood drowning of his half-brother, even though he's estranged from his own children. Robotham understands that some quests are worth any sacrifice no matter how long the odds of success might be. This is a subtle and taut thriller with convincing characters and strong psychological components. Erin Dennington, Chantilly Regional Library, Fairfax County, VA

From Booklist
In Suspect (2005), Robotham introduced Joe O'Loughlin, a psychologist out to prove he's innocent of murder. This strong sophomore effort focuses on Vincent Ruiz, the London homicide detective who dogged O'Loughlin last time around. Ruiz is suspected of foul play after waking up in a hospital badly injured and suffering from amnesia. He had apparently reopened the closed case of a long-missing girl, presumed dead, and ended up with nearly 1,000 loose diamonds her mobster father provided for ransom. With internal affairs breathing down his neck, and his boss angry with him for giving a convicted child killer grounds for appeal, Ruiz relies on O'Loughlin and a young colleague to help him regain his memory and pick up the girl's cold trail. In addition to delivering top-notch pacing, plot, and characters--the son of a Gypsy woman raped by German soldiers during World War II, Ruiz remains haunted by the childhood drowning death of his half brother but has lost contact with his own kids--Robotham also understands that some quests are worth any sacrifice no matter how long the odds of success may be.

Deservedly Won the Ned Kelly Award
By Untouchable
After delivering a pulsating debut thriller with The Suspect and introducing us to a couple of characters in Dr Joseph O'Loughlin and DI Vincent Ruiz , who are as opposite to one another as you would want to meet, Michael Robotham has followed up with Lost another riveting thriller.

Lost carries on with O'Loughlin and Ruiz again featuring very prominently. But Robotham has performed a sneaky little switch. In The Suspect, the story was told from the first person perspective of Joe O'Loughlin, a clinical psychologist who had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The first person perspective is again used in Lost, but this time, the story is being told by Vincent Ruiz and Ruiz is a much more abrasive, in your face character with a very dry sense of humour, as evidenced by the following observation:

"My stepfather died at a bus stop in Bradford in October 1995. He had a stroke on his way to see a heart specialist. See what happens when buses don't run on time?"

The story opens as Detective Inspector Vincent Ruiz is being pulled out of the Thames. He is in a pretty bad way thanks in large part to the bullet that had passed through his leg. He wakes from surgery to find that he has no memory of the incident or of the week leading up to it.

With the help of friend and clinical psychologist Dr Joseph O'Loughlin, Ruiz can piece together enough details to work out that he was working on the disappearance of 8 year old Mickey Carlyle and he was on the Thames to make a kidnapping payoff. The problem with this scenario is that the Mickey Carlyle case was closed 3 years ago and a man is already in prison for the young girl's murder. From what he can gather he has been working the case alone, independent of the police department, a fact that has made him extremely unpopular with his superiors.

The moment Ruiz is capable of walking he checks himself out of the hospital, anxious to begin retracing his own steps in a bid to recall the circumstances leading up to his accident. Thanks to a couple of memory flashes, Ruiz is almost certain that Mickey is still alive and being held by her captors. But Chief Superintendent Campbell Smith is having none of it, ordering Ruiz to drop the case of face suspension from the force.

As Ruiz retraces his steps he tends to replay some old and significant memories of his life, some of them painful, bringing together a more complete awareness of himself. In effect, losing his memory has helped him find himself. Meanwhile, his hunt for answers takes him: into the sewers of London deep below the city streets; into the Thames; onto the trail of a dangerous mobster, and; into the life of a pedophile.

Set at a reasonably moderate pace, Lost is shrouded in mystery as the majority of the storyline focuses on the frustration of Ruiz as he struggles with memories that lie just out of reach. Bit by bit he retraces his steps with the excitement provided by unsuccessful attempts made on his life.

Robotham writes with an easy, practiced style that combines the intensity of extreme danger with a witty, dry delivery. It's intense and relentless providing an engrossing story with an unknown element that remains in place right up until the final few chapters.

A strong rapport is enjoyed , antagonists in the earlier book, The Suspect. Ruiz's rough demeanor is counterbalanced by the more composed O'Loughlin who has a talent for reading other people's unconscious mannerisms to gain intimate insights that make for some fascinating reading. When Ruiz enlists the help of DC Alisha Barba, a young police officer who has been overlooked for promotion too often, a further solid partnership is created with the presence of the young female police officer providing a sounding board for Ruiz's theories.

Where the story falls down is in the area of plausibility. The gunshot wound sustained by Vincent Ruiz in the opening scene would be enough to cripple a man for months, yet not only is Ruiz back on his feet in days but he is in vigorous pursuit of assailants followed by grueling trips through sewers thrown in with barely a though given to his ruined leg. The only concession made to the pain was the occasional popping of a morphine pill which appeared to be enough to grant superhuman powers of recovery.

Lost won the 2005 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel (the Australian equivalent the Edgar Awards) and delivers an outstanding thriller with complex characters, pressure coming from both within the police force and from a dangerous unknown assailant and a strong unexpected ending. This is a very satisfying novel that I found compulsive reading and would recommend it to all psychological thriller fans.

Yes
By KEMiKALZ
The only thing disappointing is that the series is on a hiatus right now, and if you read all the volumes before reading 7, you'll be grateful to see how things follow up in Vol 7 from Vol 6...

The book itself comes with a nice lil fold out poster type page with art of Saya, Saeko and Rei on it, unexpected, but cool

This only leaves you looking forward to what's next to come, if it does come, but that's not entirely a bad thing

sexy and beautifully drawn
By Stanley Mate Giom
Great continuation of the series. Don't expect too much but it does touches on the psychology of survival and how ppl can be traumatized. It also shows how we shouldn't save everybody or we'll be kicked out of our own compound :(
Can't wait for the next one.

Parasite, by Mira Grant

A decade in the future, humanity thrives in the absence of sickness and disease.
We owe our good health to a humble parasite -- a genetically engineered tapeworm developed by the pioneering SymboGen Corporation. When implanted, the Intestinal Bodyguard worm protects us from illness, boosts our immune system -- even secretes designer drugs. It's been successful beyond the scientists' wildest dreams. Now, years on, almost every human being has a SymboGen tapeworm living within them.
But these parasites are getting restless. They want their own lives . . . and will do anything to get them.

Amazon.com Review
The Big Fall Books Preview 2013: Sally--an amnesiac and the poster-girl for the corporation that saved her life--wants answers. It’s 2027, a near-future that is frighteningly like our present, and a corporate-owned treatment has rendered illness obsolete… until "sleeping sickness" hits, growing to epidemic proportions. What once kept everyone safe turns out to be beyond deadly. We see events unfold as Sally does, and her frustration becomes our own. Who can she trust? Can we even trust her? The first book of this ominous duology blends sci-fi imagination with the terrifying authenticity of horror then delivers like a creeping thriller, getting under your skin in a very good way. --Robin A. Rothman

From Booklist
Grant, author of the excellent Newsflesh series, turns from the walking dead to something that could be even more frightening. In the near future, a medical-scientific breakthrough leads to the creation of the Intestinal Bodyguard, a genetically engineered parasite that lives inside the human body and wards off numerous illnesses: a tapeworm, basically, that makes us healthier and allows us to live longer. But now, when most people have a Bodyguard living inside them, something goes horribly wrong, and the parasites have decided they’re tired of being guests inside our bodies. Grant is tackling some of the same themes here as she did in the Newsflesh novels (where the trouble started because a beneficial medical breakthrough had unintended consequences), and fans of that series will definitely want to check this new book out. But fans of Michael Crichton–style technothrillers will be equally enthralled: as wild as Grant’s premise is, the novel is firmly anchored in real-world science and technology. Grant is well known to horror fans, but with Parasite, she’s likely to acquire a new whole new group of readers. --David Pitt

Review
"A riveting near-future medical thriller that reads like the genetically-engineered love child of Robin Cook and Michael Crichton."―John Joseph Adams

"Readers with strong stomachs will welcome this unusual take on the future."―Kirkus Reviews

"Fans of [the Newsflesh] series will definitely want to check this new book out. But fans of Michael Crichton-style technothrillers will be equally enthralled: as wild as Grant's premise is, the novel is firmly anchored in real-world science and technology."―Booklist

"Grant extends the zombie theme of her Newsflesh trilogy to incorporate thoughtful reflections on biomedical issues that are both ominously challenging and eerily plausible. Sally is a complex, compassionate character, well suited to this exploration of trust, uncertainty, and the price of progress."―Publishers Weekly

"It's a well-grounded medical wariness that gets at the heart of what the Parasitology series will be asking: What happens when the cure is worse than the disease?"―NPR Books

"An exceptionally creepy medical-horror thriller that's the perfect spine-tingling read for Halloween... [a] roller coaster ride."―Fort Worth Star-Telegram

better than it should be
By MissionPk
Lots of YA tropes + lots of Michael Crichton style runaway science tropes + even a few AI singularity tropes. Overall, better than it should be, as the YA story centered on the hero is actually fun to read, even (or especially) when the rest of the story goes a bit off the rails.

Great story, great writing
By Barbara A. Carlson
Great writing. Easy to read and engrossing. The story is actually rather thought provoking regarding our personality and what makes us human. It comes from a very different point of view. Loved it.

James Patterson's winning follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life--which the LA Times called "a perfectly pitched novel"--is another riotous and heartwarming story about living large.
After sixth grade, the very worst year of his life, Rafe Khatchadorian thinks he has it made in seventh grade. He's been accepted to art school in the big city and imagines a math-and-history-free fun zone.Wrong! It's more competitive than Rafe ever expected, and to score big in class, he needs to find a way to turn his boring life into the inspiration for a work of art. His method? Operation: Get a Life! Anything he's never done before, he's going to do it, from learning to play poker to going to a modern art museum. But when his newest mission uncovers secrets about the family Rafe's never known, he has to decide if he's ready to have his world turned upside down. (Includes over 100 illustrations.)

From School Library Journal
Gr 5-7-Rafe Khatchadorian is artistic, uber creative, and prone to embellishing stories. In James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts's hilarious sequel (2012) to Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life (2011, both Little, Brown), Rafe relates his adventures during the seventh grade. When his mother loses her job, the family is forced to move into the city with grandma. Her house is tiny and crowded, and she keeps calling Rafe by the wrong name. Rafe is accepted into the prestigious Cathedral School of the Arts, and he makes his first "real, live human friend" since starting middle school. Things are looking up, but not for long. The trouble begins with a couple of bullies at school and continues when Rafe decides to embark on a mission to "get a life." What ensues is a tale of things broken-families, water balloons, artwork, and trust. Bryan Kennedy perfectly voices Rafe, expertly navigating his ups and downs. Have the book available so students can peruse Laura Park's illustrations. This fast-paced tale of middle school mishaps and mayhem will appeal to reluctant readers and students who enjoyed Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series.-Lisa Hubler, Charles F.

Praise for Middle School: Get Me out of Here!:"Patterson and Tebbetts have created strong characters and relationships throughout the novel. Rafe has his triumphs and failures, but he's a realistic kid whom readers would want as a friend and coconspirator."―School Library Journal

"Will be enjoyed by middle-grade boys, particularly reluctant readers."―VOYA

"Short chapters and a partially graphic format are sure to appeal."―Booklist

Praise for Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life:A 2012 Top Ten Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Readers title

* "As Patterson artfully weaves a deeper and more thought-provoking tale of childhood coping mechanisms and everyday school and family realities, readers are drawn into a deeper understanding of and compassion for the main characters."―School Library Journal, starred review

"A keen appreciation of kids' insecurities and an even more astute understanding of what might propel boy readers through a book.... a perfectly pitched novel."―Los Angeles Times

"Cleverly delves into the events that make middle school so awkward: cranky bus drivers, tardy slips, bathroom passes and lots of rules.... Hopefully, this isn't the last we hear from Rafe Khatchadorian."―The Associated Press

"It's a chatty, funny, engaging book, one that often addresses the reader directly. It's filled with energetic cartoons... that will appeal to your little rebel, depicting teachers as dungeon-keepers, matadors and flying dragons. Patterson... knows how to structure a plot and builds in some surprising--even touching--twists.... Rafe is the bad boy with a heart of gold."―The New York Times

"The book's... dynamic artwork and message that 'normal is boring' should go a long way toward assuring kids who don't fit the mold that there's a place for them, too."―Publishers Weekly

"Incredibly detailed and imaginative illustrations . . . add depth and humor. . . . an enjoyable story that even the most reluctant readers should enjoy."―Library Media Connection

"There is substance as well as appeal here.... Patterson deftly manages the pace of revelations that take readers deeper into Rafe's fragile trust.... Readers ready for something else in the same vein but more substantive than Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Peirce's Big Nate should be introduced to Rafe."―Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Great book
By MessengerAngel03
Gave this book to my dyslexic god-son, he loves it! He has problems creating mental pictures from written words and this has helped him tremendously. The best part is that he was so excited about reading that he blasted through a quarter of the book the same day I gave it to him, a huge feat for him. Hopefully this will help my godson to improve his reading capabilities.

God Save the Queen, by Kate Locke

The first in an alternate fantasy series where vampires, werewolves, and goblins rule London.
Queen Victoria rules with an immortal fist.

The undead matriarch presides over a Britain where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark. It's a world where the nobility are infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath), Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day, and leeches are considered a delicacy. And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns.

Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key -- the prize -- in a very dangerous struggle.
The fantastic start to The Immortal Empire series that continues with the spectacular undead books, The Queen is Dead and Long Live the Queen.

About the Author
Kate Locke is a shameless anglophile who wrote her first book at age 12. Fortunately, that book about a British pop band is lost forever. During 'off' hours Kate spends time caressing her collection of Fluevogs, watches BBC America, or plays with makeup. She loves history, the paranormal, horror, and sparkly things.

Steampunk and UF collide in a hilarious, paranormal thrill!
By keira
Although this series is marked as steampunk, "God Save the Queen" reads more along the lines of a mash up between steampunk and urban fantasy.

Xandra, the protagonist, is a halvie, a half-vampire with noble blood on her paternal side. She lives in a world where Queen Victoria of England still lives and prospers as a vamp; where the date is 2012 yet the cars and dress are still old fashioned; where werewolves and vampires make up the aristocracy, plagued with mutated blood thanks to the Black Death; where goblins creep through the sewers of London, snatching children and dragging them back into the dark depths.

Xandra's world is turned upside down when her youngest sister, Dede, disappears and Xandra fights tooth and nail to get her back, risking everything and shoving past her own fears. Little does she realize, her problems are a lot more complex, more dark than just one missing sibling. Her search leads her to much more than she'd bargained, questioning Xandra's fierce loyalty to her Queen and those that have raised her. Conspiracies. Traitors. Science Experiments. Deception. Nothing is as it seems.

I loved this book. Admittedly, not enough to give it five stars (Though that may be because I never had time to sit and have long reads, just having to keep snatching little bits. Always takes away from the read.), but certainly enough to continue the series.

What really drives this story is Xandra. She's fiercely loyal, with an inherent sense of honor and familial bonds. Everything she knows is doubted, and yet she stays strong, keeps fighting, doesn't cave. She makes sacrifices, is forced to come to terms with terrors of her past, and she comes out better for it. Oh, and she has a nice dosage of spunk. Always good to keep things lively. :D I really liked her and am looking forward to seeing how she progresses in the future.

I think my favorite aspect was the goblins. Not very popular in most UF books, that only made them all the more interesting. And they were really funny in a creepy, we-want-to-eat-you way. But it worked, and I somehow thought they were cute. But in a vicious way. They were just amusing and I got that feeling that Locke had a great time creating and writing them.

If you're looking for a steampunk with a heavy dosage of ground-shattering tech, this isn't it. This is Victorian London with relatively normal technology, paranormal aristocrats, and an intriguing conspiracy.

God Save Us From MarySues
By John Green, NCGBT
The awesome tagline "Keep calm and pray for dawn" is a tease- promising a slam-bang hell-ride of a story but GSTQ fails to fully deliver on the goods.

The backstory is similar to the Underworld franchise, where paranormals emerged from a viral strain instead of magic. Here we have the Prometheus Plague- a mutagenic virus whose effects, as the name implies, change the course of human development, giving rise to vampires, werewolves and goblins. It's Queen Victoria's transformation into a vampire that both alters the balance of power and stunts the development of Western Civilization. To keep the new aristocracy (vampires) at the top of the pile, they begin breeding with humans and producing 'halvies', turning them into their own version of MI5 and a buffer against the teeming masses of humanity. Here we meet Alexandra (Xandra) Vardan, a halvie, who along with her siblings, serve Queen and Country with a vigor that would do James Bond proud. But as a high society scandal involving one of their sisters begins spiraling out of control, Xandra's investigation of the matter sets her to unraveling secrets and conspiracies best left alone. And the poor girl herself's at the core of them.

Steampunk versions of modern technology are the order of the day, making everything old new again. It's a fun twist on an oversaturated genre, but that's where the fun ends.

The big problem with UF/PNR is the MarySue Effect: where the story pretty much revolves around the main character's rear end and this one's no different. No matter what powerful, influential characters inhabit the world it's still all about HER- the relative nobody who'll somehow end up controlling the fates of everyone simply because of their very existence (hint, hint). And this being a UF/PNR novel, it's the biggest problem here. Characters are characters because of WHO they are, not WHAT they are. Because the plot boils down to what Xandra is, there's almost no point in exploring who she is because we can already see where it's all headed. There are some interesting layers and textures to the story, but as everything centers upon our girl nothing ever ranges too far beyond her grasp. Xandra possess skills and advantages even a halvie shouldn't have and the reason for them is no big reveal; in fact it's been done so many times it's already a standard UF trope. And being a MarySue, Xandra's already on the romantic radar of the uber alpha of the Scottish werewolves- who's also an aristocrat in his own right, making them even more compatible- so as soon as they finally meet face to face, well... you already know.

The showdown with one of the conspirators at the end is such an anti-climax and cliché it's almost corny! Didn't help any that it had been telegraphed about halfway through the book so there was no suspense or drama involved whatsoever.

GSTQ is both fresh and stale at the same time. And that's a shame, 'cause it looks like it could be a fun ride if we could just toss ol' MarySue off the train.

Just Okay...
By Amanda
The undead seem to be in right now. Not just the undead, but in another vine Victorian-period steampunk novels are becoming popular these days. And, strangely enough, I've found that I enjoy the steampunk elements -plus, it's hard for me to say no to an alternative Victorian history. Thus, the oh-so-fun looking God Save the Queen seemed like the perfect fit for me.

In an alternative version of England, Queen Victoria continues to rule 100 years later as an immortal. The aristocracy is immortal -werewolves, vampires and the such -and humans are left to live in fear of the nobles and a horrible plague. Young Xandra is a member of the Royal Guard and her duty in life is to protect the nobility -to the death. Yet, as Xandra digs deeper into the mysterious murder of her sister, she finds a conspiracy hidden in the depths of the London underworld that could bring down Victoria and the empire.

On paper, God Save the Queen seemed like a fun and fairly carefree book. I was expecting humorous dialog, fun moments and a fairly frothy plot. There was some of this in here -plus a good dose of the paranormal and the undead -but this just didn't hold up for me as the book went out. It didn't stay fun, the humor and witty dialog seemed to completely disappear and the plot became strangely...serious. This may seem somewhat uncharacteristic for me, but I was expecting this to be a light and fun read, but it just wasn't frothy enough.

I was also a little disappointing with the setting. The book promised a paranormal-driven novel with heavy Victorian steampunk elements, but the setting frequently seemed distant -hard to find sometimes. I was also unhappy with the heavy use of the vampire elements -I thought there was going to be more here than just that, but (and I don't know about you) I'm sick of vampires.

Overall, a decent book that started out okay, but didn't hold up as the story went on.
