Eagle Reviews

This book was great! It really taught me about the silk route, and Mical (the author of the book) Is my teacher! I couldn't believe that she wrote this book! This book is a must read!

This is a great read! Ray A. Young Bear's book is not as difficult to penetrate as some of Gerald Vizenor's stuff, but is just as smart. It isn't quite the way Louise Erdrich weaves her stories together, but his use of language and his ability to tell a story is just as good. He's poetic, magical, honest, and can paint pictures with words you won't forget.

What is it about? Well, it's about life. It is about the lives of a group of people from the heartland of America.

If you like Native American literature, get it. If you like poetry, get it. If you enjoy staying up and night and laughing with the characters in the books you read, and feeling their pain, I think you won't be disappointed.

Being the sequel to “The Oak Apple”, this novel is the fifth book in the MORLAND DYNASTY series.

Nine months after the fateful battle of Marston Moor, which Kit did not survive, his cousin Ruth gives birth to a daughter, Annunciata.

After the restoration of James II, Ruth sends her daughter, now a woman grown and bearing an uncanny resemblance to the Stuarts, to London where she becomes an instant sensation at Court.

Populated by engaging characters and vivid in historical detail, this book is as enjoyable as the preceding books in the series.

AS USUAL JOHNSTONE HAS WRITTEN ANOTHER EXCELLENT BOOK IN THE "EAGLES" SERIES.

This is truly a wonderful book! The splendid colors are soothing and pleasing to the eye, while the theme of focusing on the Star image for inner strength and healing is gently brought home on each page. This reminds me of a visual mantra, so to speak, a way of easily connecting with the universal love energy within us all. I have personally used the Star image not only for myself, but for sending healing energy to family and friends. I believe it has been very helpful.

The Boy Who Became an Eagle, written by Kathryn Cave and illustrated by Nick Maland, tells the story of an extraordinary boy who learns to fly and how his life makes a drastic change. This young man lives in a small community that is going though a rough time. He decides to fly away on his own and experience what the world has to offer. A traveling showman who runs a type of extraordinary-people show discovers him and makes him the main attraction. Soon the boy becomes homesick and wants to return home, but is abducted and held hostage until he outsmarts the criminals. At the end of the book the boy is back with his family and happy to be home. This book can fit into the fantasy genre or the realism genre. The story of the young boy is fantastic because he discovers that he can fly. He does not use wings; he just jumps from a mountain and keeps on gliding through the air. The storyline fits into the dream that many people have to be able to fly with the birds. He also uses his abilities to earn money being in a circus-type environment. The story fits the realism category because of the realistic settings of the towns and countryside. There is also the dynamic of the homesickness and the family love felt by the boy even when he is away. He also uses realistic ideas to outsmart the thieves when he is abducted. They believe that the wings made by the circus man are the reason that the boy can fly. The boy knows that the real ability lies in himself and when the thieves try to throw the boy out of a window he just simply keeps flying all the way home. The book shows aspects of both genres, but is a perfect combination to make the story fantastical and believable at the same time. With a fantastic flying ability the boy is able to return home to his realistic family and community.

So much more than just a "guy thing"! Sheds refreshing light and insight into the psyche and collective consciousness of men. Worth the listen for men *and* women.

A classic story when one friend steps aside for another.
Tate Harrison is one cowboy whose life style had been determined by a very grave mistake made when he was very young. He has one very close friend in Kenny Becker, a dreamer and not very practical.

Amy Becker is a widow with a small son, Jody and another on the way. Unfortunately she also is the one who found her husband after a long search. She also neglected to inform Tate of his friend's death.

Tate had leased his ranch land to Kenny and had been surprised when he hadn't taken up the lease this year. He received an even greater shock when he discovered why.

Now the woman he secretly loved needed help and he decided to hire on as ranch hand. Only to find that Kenny's dream of raising Quarter horses was not working and that Amy had a herd of sheep. Man! he was a cowboy! not a sheep herder. And those dang sheepherding dogs didn't want to listen to him.

But the miracle of miracles happened when he was forced to help deliver Amy's daughter, Karen one night. This child felt is if she were his own. Maybe his roving days were over. If only he could convince Amy. If only he didn't want her so much. If only he could tell her he needed her. If only she needed him.

Highly Recommended --M - a very enjoyable story with wonderful characters - great to add to your library!

Margery Alllingham died while writing this book. It was finished by her husband, Philiip Youngman Carter, an artist and her lifelong collaborator -- and it's none the worse for that. It's got atmosphere by the bucket: the ragged edges of London that merge into noman's lands of forgotten buiding developments and old rubbish heaps, ending in a scruffy little seaside village haunted by kids on motorbikes. Lugg likes it so much he's planning to have a bungalow built there, and an American historian is fossicking around out of love for a young doctor who has inherited a house there. And why is a once-promising poet living there in obscurity? Campion co-opts the historian to help in a mysterious mission and the plot thickens. Sadly the two Campion novels Youngman Carter wrote after Allingham's death are not up to scratch, though the one that isn't Falcon (sorry I've forgotten the title) has just a touch of her elegiac poetry. Elegiac poetry in a mystery writer? Read her and find out.
