Not really a mystery.......2007-09-29

I listened ot this on CD, and was extremely bored and frustrated. The plot is supposedly a murder mystery, but with the double homicide, the guy is more interested in a books store, the towns anniversary, and his cat being able to make a turkey call than the bodies pileing up. (Spoiler) Even the murderer is caugt by coincidence! (End of Spoiler) The main focus is on life in the small town, which felt nothing like any I've come across, or lived in, in real life. A annoying book

What does the turkey have to do with this mystery?.......2007-02-20

I was disappointed in this book. I had started getting these books on CD from the library amd thoroughly enjoyed the first few I listened to. I enjoy the author's picturesque, almost poetic, descriptions of things. Those descriptions were still there, but they did not connect well. The mystery of the person murdered becomes an incidental by-line, not really crucial to the other goings-on in the story. There is no expanation to why the return of the turkeys is of any significance and what do the cats' being able to communicate with them have to do with anything in the story line. I felt very let down at the end of this audio book.

Happy Cats-giving!.......2007-01-01

Am I going to be sick? I think I ate(read) too much! I couldn't help myself myself because this wonderful title sated my appetite for mystery, cats ('natch), and turkey. Nuff said. This is perhaps the most invigorating marriage of turkey and cats I've yet read. You don't have to be a pilgrim to give thanks for Mr. L. J. Braun!

What the heck was this?.......2006-08-24

I remember when I was first introduced to the "Cat Who" mysteries; my High School French teacher's bookshelf was full of them, along with the Mrs. Polifax mysteries and some Inspector Maigret. I enjoyed them, even though they were a little cutesy and it was hard to suspend disbelief at the cats' antics, but I wasn't really driven to keep up with the series.

Now, seeing the book in a cheap pile at Wal-Mart, I figured why not try it--and wow, what a disappointment. It seems to me that the "Cat Who" mysteries actually used to be mysteries, but judging by this one, now they're just cutesy.

It's a sad state of affairs when the blurb of a book is more exciting than the actual book itself. Talked Turkey's blurb implies Qwilleran has to solve an execution-style murder on his property, and somehow the mysterious reappearance of wild turkeys thought long-gone from the area has something to do with it. Well, it doesn't (nor is it ever explained at all, in fact), and the murder is barely even mentioned in the book; the fact that it gets "solved" in the end is more or less coincidental. In actuality, the book is by and large a slice-of-life story about Qwilleran, his cats, and the community. Which is fine if that's the sort of thing you're looking for, but not all that great when the book is being advertised as a "mystery."

The Cat Who Ate the Plot.......2006-07-17

This was my first -- and last -- Cat Who book. I bought it because I needed something to read at the beach, but found it so inane that I went for another swim instead. Having spent money on the book, I felt obligated to eventually finish it. I kept wondering when I would discover the plot, but alas, the book ended without one. I had hoped to read a mystery story, but the only mystery -- the body found on Qwilleran's property -- was never developed. Another reviewer called this book a pastiche -- a quite appropriate word.
Want to write a book like this? Here's how... Take a small town newspaper, cut out stories at random, then stick them together. Throw in a rather silly single male journalist who spends his days wandering in and out of other people's lives, writing corny sayings and then attributing them to his cat (I thought Koko was supposed to be smart!), eating in restaurants, and traveling between his various properties.

The weakest of the anthologies I've read so far.......2000-10-05

However, there are three stories (all from the Ages of Chaos, oddly enough) that stood out as true gems, and I give the whole book one star for each of them:

First, there is "Clingfire," which takes two minor characters from the novel Stormqueen! (Coryn, Keeper of Hali Tower; and his lover Arielle, far below his station), fleshes them out, and puts one of the early, male Keepers in what seems to be the classic dilemma of the later female teneresti: is doing work that you love more important than spending your life with the person you love most?

Next, there is "Just a Touch..." which is nearly as powerful as the story it reminded me of ("The Alton Gift", which appears in _The Keeper's Price_), but with a much more uplifting ending. This was my favorite in the anthology, and in and of itself makes the collection worth seeking out.

The third story that deserves special mention is "The Plague." The theme is typical for a Darkover story (in a stressful situation, a woman of supposedly limited skills discovers her laran is far stronger than she thought), but the circumstances are unique, and the author captures the understanding I would expect Darkovan culture to have of bacteria ("tinylives") very well, and doesn't start sounding like she's giving a 20th-century Terran explanation (I hate that!)

For these three stories, the anthology is worth trying to get your hands on, but none of the rest particularly stand out (except for "Mists" and "Man-eater" which both annoyed me and stood out as BAD). However, there are much more enjoyable and better-organized anthologies of Darkover short stories, IMHO.

Some good stories, some not-so-good stories........2000-08-31

There are some excellent stories in this anthology, notably "An Object Lesson" by Mercedes Lackey, in which she once again brings back the character Tayksa the ex-assassin, a character she has written several stories about in previous anthologies. (This was an excellent story, even if it WAS merely a set-up for an abysmally clever pun.) But there were also some stories that I didn't think much of, particularly "The Gift From Ardais", by Barbara Denz, which started out well, was well-written, and ended in a needlessly depressing way, serving no point that I could discern. Less bad, but still not much to my liking, was "To Serve Kihar", by Judith Sampson, which seemed to me to have an implausibly upbeat ending, not justified by the story to that point. Now, I'd rather see unjustified optimism than unjustified cynicism, but it still isn't really a good story if I don't feel the ending is justified by the story leading up to it.

To eliminate the human threat, the Packlord has made a secret alliance with the Hunnza--but not if the mysterious immortal known as the Outsider can stop them using Jim as a weapon. First, though, the Outsider has to find his embittered hero. Distraught over the death of his father, Jim has plunged deep into the underground, where danger of another kind lurks in the shape of a girl as bad as she is irresistible.

Jim's only hope for survival lies in making the Leap himself: taking the step into chaos that will save humankind or turn the universe into a graveyard of burned-out stars.

Pulp...fairly fun pulp, but pulp nonetheless........2001-07-19

Don't get me wrong--I've been keeping up with this series and I intend to keep doing so. But it's Sci Fi Channel Rocketship Avengers fare--the MTV fare of fiction--and meant to be approached as such. I'm reading comparisons to Heinlein in other reviews--well, yeah, but it's the Heinlein of teenage heroes for teenage readers. Shatner's hero Jim is a bit older but is cut from that mold. Shatner tries to bring the feel of these books into adulthood by giving them the noir aspect of his Tek series, but that doesn't make them literature by a country mile. I've been a Shatner fan for decades, but I have to admit that he is narcissistic--and it's that trait that he gives to his heroes: grandiose and "misunderstood". Decent light reading, but don't expect more than that. After all, there are only so many Donaldsons and Herberts.

Book Description

EDITORIAL REVIEWS BOOKLIST Many oenophiles find themselves stumped when it comes to proper pronunciation of names of even familiar wines. How to Pronounce French, German, and Italian Wine Names offers a simple approach to this problem. Bellucci's carefully crafted pronunciations are easy to follow, and only the strictest linguists will quibble with her results. Her phonetic approaches to French's accents and uniquely pronounced consonants give good approximations of the originals, and she has helpful suggestions for dealing with German's umlauts. Although not noted in the book's title, there are tables of Spanish and Portuguese wine words as well. The comprehensive lists of chateaus, personal names, and grape varieties make this a very helpful addition to any reference collection of books on wine.

Customer Reviews:

Great resource!.......2007-07-30

I really enjoyed this book!
We have a new Russian Tortoise and needed a beginner's guide of how to house, feed and care for our tortoise. The pictures are wonderful in the book and the author took the time to point out different thoughts, controversial ways and the "why's" of caring for your tortoise when it's not in its natural habitat. I would recommend this book to those wanting to know more about their new pet. My children enjoyed the pictures and the chapters are thorough, yet not exhaustive. For the family needing more than what the pet store gives you, this book is the perfect solution.

On second thought.......2006-01-12

I thought this book would be more detailed in scope than it was. In fact, I think the website http://www.russiantortoise.org/ is in some ways more informative than this book. I would still recommend purchasing it if you want to absorb as many viewpoints as you can. I feel the author was writing a primer, and not an extensive book on the subject of tortoises. This would be an excellent book for the newbie to tortoises, but for one who has cruised the internet on the tortoises, it may be a disappointment, but it is still worth owning.

A pretty book, BUT: out of 144 pages, only 28 show scrapbook pages; the rest show cards or embellished household items such as lampshades, napkin rings, even a maple syrup bottle with a tag saying "maple syrup" and a "delicious" label. I'm very sorry I purchased this book and I won't keep it. L. Kirby

From the Publisher

Looks at a key phase in Italian art the 17th and 18th century work which began with Neapolitan painting and the Carravagioinfluenced high baroque, imported from Rome by Mattia Preti and Luca Giordano. Artists: Corrado Giaquinto, Guido Reni, Massimo Stanzione, Pierre Le Gros, Francesco Solimeno, Francesco de Mura and others. Distributed by Woodstocker Books.

Book Description

Defying her culture and tradition, a successful, highly educated Tamil Brahmin woman writes a letter to a prominent American book publisher who—disillusioned with love in the Western world—advertises in an Indian newspaper for an arranged marriage. Her letter launches this book's remarkable correspondence. What follows is an epistolary evaluation of compatibility, gender roles, love, and the way to find and keep a spiritually satisfying relationship. In this intimate exchange of more than 60 letters, they raise as many questions as they answer and reveal the secrets of sustaining a love that encompasses the mind, body, heart, and spirit. Deliciously funny and profoundly moving, this improbable love story may just change how you view relationships.

Read between the lines...(back to pre-feminist dark ages).......2001-01-30

I just finished reading this book (like some other reviewers, I also couldn't put it down and stayed up til 2AM to finish), but I am more troubled by it.

Firstly, it is hardly a exchange of letters between two people because the vast majority of letters were written by B. R. Vatsala (note: it is never explained in the book what B.R. stands for). It is truly her story and she is an extraordinary woman -- it is a real pleasure to meet this thoughtful, charming, sensitive individual whom anyone would treasure as a friend. However, the same cannot be said about her domineering and bombastic fiance, Ehud Sperling (who likes to be called "Boss" or "Captain"). It isn't even certain he has written all of his own letters, as he has a loyal female employee who reads and monitors his correspondence with Vatsala (some of which is quite intimate)!

I hope SOME other readers are troubled by the idea of a rich, white American who peruses the world's available females and picks which country's supply of ladies he will dip into. India is choosen because of it is a backwater of so-called traditional values (i.e., men rule). Mr. Sperling (whose first wife wisely beat feet to get away from his snot-nosed bullying) decides a few months after his divorce that instead of a demanding independent American wife, he wants a subservient foreign bride from a poor 3rd world country. He has the undeserved good fortune to link up with Ms. Vatsala, and I feel richly sorry for this utterly wonderful lady. I can only hope after she gets fed up with his big shot, "alpha dog" mentality she can make a good life for herself in the US.

It is a sad comment on contemporary India that truly beautiful women like Vatsala, finding themselves over 30 and not so desirable in the marriage market, are forced to look in the paper for the equivalent of our "personal ads", only here it is not for just a coffee date but a marriage arranged without any meeting or time to truly get to know another person. I can not blame Vatsala, who despite her Ph.D. in Microbiology, is a very trusting and naive girl with a deep romantic streak nutured on Hindu love stories, for falling for the sophisticated prattle dished-out by the manipulative Ehud. How many of us could face the offer of marriage, an escape from spinsterism, a ticket to the highly desirable US, and wealth (everything from a paid-for wedding with Maharaji's emeralds to a trust fund that will let Vatsala make charitable donations to any cause she wants)? This would turn the head of many an American woman from a much more sophisticated background. Clearly Ehud is used to getting exactly what he wants as a millionaire publishing magnate, and a subservient foreign bride seems to be what he wants.

For those who find this story "romantic", I caution that the idea that a man gets to have sexual adventures, live-in relationships, world travels and then settles down at age 40-something with an innocent & inexperienced virgin is a very old one, and one that has been wisely rejected by most modern women throughout the world who want to live their own lives and not just be a shadow of someone else's.

The story ends on an oddly grim note as the couple arrive "home" at Ehud's isolated Vermont home in the dead of winter, where his poor bride is left at home all day (God forbid a microbiologist with a Ph.D. WORK) with only the company of a huge unneutered german shepherd dog who terrifies her and far, far from the warmth & companionship of her large Indian family. The only glimmer that things may turn out well is a tiny photo on the back inside dusk jacket of Vatsala holding what appears to be a baby son. The other photos of this lovely Indian woman, huddled in heavy winter gear and clearly miserable in the cold, are too depressing to contemplate.

Dear Vatsala: Please smarten up here in American. Read lots of books! Watch films and even TV. Most of all, please make friends with some nice normal American women, and see how NORMAL couples live together here -- without philisophical mumbo-jumbo or "BOSS men" to order them around. You deserve a lot better and I hope you find it.

a real book for teens.......2000-11-09

I am inches away from graduating out of highschool.While scanning the bookstore for college admission manuals, I chanced upon A Marriage Made in Heaven : A Love Story in Letters" and could but stop and stare at the cover photo. I felt compelled to find out what these authors had to say.

As I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting, I concluded that for teenagers like myself who are standing at the doorway to their future, this book is an eyeopener. Teens today are facing unique problems of social alienation, drug and alcohol abuse, broken families and transient sexual relationships that give a moment of fun, may be,and many possible threats to one,s emotional and physical wellbeing. However in these experimental years, the teens also have to face the questions about what they want to make out of their lives.

This book shows that if the teens want a solid, happy life for themselves, it is possible.I strongly recommend this book to all the teenagers before they go out on their first date with a person of same or opposite gender. The list of dos and donts mentioned in this book will help young people find a truthful and honest relationship, irrespective of their sexual orientation.

Also, this book is informative, attractive and a fun to read. The authors letters to each other, before they met or thought about marriage, opens wide windows into a man and a woman's mind. These authors have proven that human race is truly one, the differences are there to basically highlight the goodness in each one of us.

Come on guys and gals, get this book, read and think about what it says and start your love life today on a positive note.

Charming love story.......2000-06-18

My son recently married a beatiful woman of Indian ancestry who thrives on her large family in Orange County, CA. When I heard the PBS radio interview with Ehud Sperling, I was curious about what he found attractive in a woman from India. The book is really her book. She reveals herself as charming and definitely ready to leave her career in micro-biology in the crowded South India city of Madras for a new adventure and opportunity to be a full time wife and mother. Although he comes across as resourceful and generous (and obviously fedup with USA women as wives), her values, insights, and faith in God are what give the book its radiance. This book affirmed the wisdom of my son's choice!

Read to know some stories Indians write.......2000-06-08

One of the author's (Vatsala) letter says that she prays for the children of the hospital during her breaks. How noble. Read stories like this that Indians write to impress "pherengis" (foriegners).

A MAD(E)FOR EACH OTHER REAL LIFE FABLE.......2000-05-13

Touching story of two souls seeking for life long partnership! The authors have come forward to share some of their inner & intimate thoughts in their step by step quest for each other, through poignant letters. A very moving episode ending in bliss & hormony, bringing out tears of compassion & goodwill for the couple. A must " reading " for all those lonely hearts in search of eternal soul mates.
