Book Description
Sixth in the Kurt Wallander series.
On Midsummer’s Eve, three role-playing teens dressed in eighteenth-century garb are shot in a secluded Swedish meadow. When one of Inspector Kurt Wallander’s most trusted colleagues–someone whose help he hoped to rely on to solve the crime–also turns up dead, Wallander knows the murders are related. But with his only clue a picture of a woman no one in Sweden seems to know, he can’t begin to imagine how. Reeling from his own father’s death and facing his own deteriorating health, Wallander tracks the lethal progress of the killer. Locked in a desperate effort to catch him before he strikes again, Wallander always seems to be just one step behind.

Kurt Wallander Right in Step.......2007-08-09
I haven't read many Kurt Wallander mysteries but am already hooked on the detective's adventures. What is it that makes Wallander so appealing? Perhaps it's the fact that he is so much an Everyman, rather than a Super Hero. He has all the same woes and worries that most of us have, and solving the crime demands a lot of slogging, ordinary police work.
Mankell uses techniques that Agatha Christie used, to keep us on track - those of us who muddle up the bits and pieces of clues. He will occasionally have Wallander review - ever so briefly - the events or main facts so far. Also, Wallander will sometimes pause to try to bring to mind a small morsel of information that he can't quite recall - forcing the reader to try to remember what it was. Keeps us on our toes.
Sorting out all the Swedish names requires extra attention at first, but then one gets used to all the people and places. In the first Wallander book I read there was a small map of the Skane area, and I photocopied that page to refer to when I read this book.
Another heart stopper from Henning Mankell.......2007-07-08
Oh, man. I just couldn't NOT review this. This author must be one of the most talented mystery writers on the planet and so far, I like this book the best. You're not likely to have any fingernails left after reading this one about a serial killer. Mankell mixes real clues with red herrings so effectively throughout the story that you will never guess who it is until he tells you. The story starts from the killer's point of view, so you know it is a man. But why does he kill these people? Does he know them or have any connection to them? Are these thrill kills? Is he a psychopath or a nutcase? Interspersed with the police investigation are scenes showing the workings of the killer's mind. You get good and scared and frustrated as do Wallander and his colleagues. I purposely havent read the ending yet so there's no way I can give it away. I'm always so impressed with the way the department works as a team and around the clock when they have to. If this happens in real life we don't appreciate the efforts as much as we should. In this book, also at the beginning, Wallander contracts diabetes. The author must have it to describe it so realistically. I have it too, and have been through all these scary symptoms and the story is really accurate on this point. I like the other characters Wallander works with, I'd like to know more about Linda, his daughter, and Lisa, his boss. They are all realistic people with real problems. Henning Mankell is just a superb writer and I'm so glad I have two more of his books here to read.
A Great Police Thriller .......2007-02-08
Here is a detective novel you can really sink your teeth into. It is well written, engaging, and completely addictive. I was having trouble figuring out who the bad guy was until several pages before Mankell reveals this to the reader. To me, that is a sure sign of great plot crafting and great writing. The novel is not short and other reviewers have complained about the pace. But for me, the pacing worked perfectly and added to the suspense and sheer creepiness of the nemesis.
Also, I really liked Wallender and also related to him easily. The sense of his phisical exhaustion and looming diabetes was a superb touch that both added to the depth of the character and dovetailed beautifully with the main story. I highly recommend Mankell, and while this is the first of the series I have read, I plan to read them all.
A Compelling and Entertaining Page Turner: Mankell's Best?.......2007-02-01
Just as a point of trivia but in Europe and in Sweden, detective Kurt Wallander's home, the spelling is sometimes Wallender or Wallander. One encounters both spellings on amazon.
This is a book that ruined a good night's sleep. In short, it is a delightful read. I read the 500 plus pages in a little over two brief evenings when I had little time to read. This is a smooth fast read and an excellent translation.
This was my second Kurt Wallander novel, and I have read five. The first novel - The Man Who Smiled - broke down at the end and departed from reality. That does not happen here. The story remains strong and believable through to the last page. Each murder is interconnected and gives us a trail of clues. The characters and the plot are very realistic. Wallender is not climbing over a high fence or doing anything far fetched to get his man, although there is some action. He is operating on too much coffee and no sleep, as he usually does. Since reading the present novel, I have read a total of five of the Wallander novels and it confirmed that this is one of his better efforts. There are elements here similar to his other popular novel Sidetracked.
Without revealing the story, the murders takes place in southern Sweden near and in the town of Ystad. It is mainly in and around the town, although there is some action on the shores of Sweden and in Copenhagen. The unusual twist here is that it involves the death of a fellow police officer and a serial killer. It is a good mystery story but the reader follows the detectives and the criminal, so there is less mystery for the reader. This is a fast read that I was able to read it in less than a day or two. I read it while staying at a hotel in southern Sweden, not too far from the crime scene; the details and descriptions of the places and other details are authentic.
The story involves the usual characters including fellow officers Ann-Britt Höglund, Nyberg, and Martinsson. Wallander is older in the book. Here he is a bit past his prime and is having health problems. Otherwise, it is the same Wallander.
This is a great read, with a good plot, good writing, and a good novel structure, and it is hard to put down once underway. This must be one of Mankell's better novels.
When is a mail man not a male man . . . ?.......2006-07-27
The District of Skane in the far south of Sweden seems to get more than its share of psychopathic mass murderers and serial killers. This dangerous and unpleasant workload certainly takes its toll on Inspector Kurt Wallender of the Ystad police force, and he often wonders himself how much longer he'll be able to stand it. In his late forties, divorced, melancholy by nature, sometimes violent (though always apologetic afterward), Wallender is a driven man who can't turn loose of a case, and that makes him very successful at his job -- though, again, he would undoubtedly disagree. Now his body is betraying him on top of everything else, as he has to learn to cope with diabetes. This outing concerns a killer who can't stand for people to be happy, though we're never given a real explanation for that motivation -- nor is Wallender. But besides the six young people who are killed, a fellow officer whom we've come to know through the series is also a victim, shotgunned in his own apartment. We spend a lot of time in the police conference room, watching re-examination after re-examination of the available evidence, listening as the investigative team, under Wallender's competent management, tries to figure out who the killer is, where he could be hiding, and who his next victim will be. But they seem to be always one step behind. There are certainly the occasional heartstopping action scenes, but real police work takes place mostly in the mind, and Mankell knows how to take the reader inside the head of Kurt Wallender.

Mandatory reading for leaders, including public officials!.......2002-01-06
Thanks to Steyn we get a closer look at one of the most fascinating persons in modern history. Nelson Mandela demonstrates most convincingly that integrity and respect for fellow human beings of all levels is not a sign of weakness but rather the ultimate demonstration of greatness. This book ought to be mandatory reading for every person in a leading position, be it in the political or any other field. Thus, let us hope that it becomes more readily available outside of South Africa!
One Step Behind Mandela.......2001-04-12
An excellent book! This book was very well written and contained in depth information about executive and personal protection that few people have the intimate knowledge to find out about. I was especially drawn to the special relationship that formed between Mr. Steyn & his protectee, President Nelson Mandela. This book also contained some very humerous passages, such as the incident where the driver for Mr. Mandala's principal car accidently locked the keys in the car, with the president's helicopter inbound a due to land in a few minutes! I would recommend this book to any protection specialist in the field and others alike.

Disappointed.......2007-08-05
Apparently I am in the minority of disliking this book, but here my honest review of it regardless.
This book was such a disappointment to me. At first glance - the premise of the plot seems really intriguing. A 30 year old woman named Sarah lives in a Home for mentally handicapped people. (she is autistic) However, she can communicate by repeating quotes from literature. She carries with her a two-headed toy dragon that is named Betwixt and Between. Sarah has an unusual gift - she can talk with her dragon, and is able to communicate with other inanimate objects. When budgets are cut, Sarah is more or less kicked out of the Home to wonder the streets alone. This is where the story becomes disappointing for me. Sarah is found by Abalone, a shirtless young girl with a wolfhead tattoo between her breasts - and takes her to "the jungle" to meet the "head wolf" and learn the "jungle laws." Sarah becomes a part of this underground society where Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" is the basis of how they rule.
As a reader I was not interested in the story of the "the jungle" and the people in it. I am interested in Sarah, in her gift, in her unique ability to communicate. Unfortunately, the author does not explore that very much. The book had an amazing idea but it just fell flat. I kept reading because it was compelling - however, I ended up exchanging the book for something else, cause quite frankly, I was so disappointed in it.
Perhaps you may enjoy the story of the "headwolf" and `the jungle' - I however could care less. This book didn't seem to have depth or heart to it. Just an interesting little premise that wasn't nurtured into a proper story.
Weirdly beautiful, strangely compelling.......2007-02-06
The sheer creativity of this book just blows my mind. It dances around genre, at turns resembling science fiction, fantasy, and cyberpunk, and ultimately transcends them all. The idea of a gang of streetkids - thieves, thugs and prostitutes - who draw their pride and identity from Kipling's Jungle Book is such an amazingly bizarre concept, but when encountered it seems completely natural - or at least no stranger than anything else in the world seen through our protagonist's eyes.
Sarah is, as she flatly states in the first chapter, insane. Not stupid - she's highly intelligent. But with a mild form of autism that manifests as the inability to speak in her own words. Instead, she must rely on an (impressive) array of quotes drawn primarily from classic literature (most of the ones I recognized came from Shakespeare and the Bible, but I'm sure there were others I missed.) She can communicate, with those who have the desire and the patience to listen, but her frustration with her own inability to form her own sentences and with the tendency of others, even her friends, to unconsciously underestimate her because of that, is palpable.
The book opens with Sarah's expulsion from the Home, the asylum in which she has spent her entire adult life. For the first time in her life, she's forced to interact with the completely unfamiliar real world, without anyone to take care of her or tell her what to do, equipped with one change of clothes, enough money to feed her for maybe a week, and some skill in the kind of manual labor that's been done by machines for years.
And one thing more: Betwixt and Between, a two-headed rubber dragon that speaks to Sarah, and that no one else can hear.
Sarah is found and adopted by the Pack, brought to live in the Jungle. It's not an idyllic existence, this world of graceful ritual and merciless justice, of children earning their living by prostitution, but it has a savage grandeur to it. Sarah finds a home there, under the watchful eyes of her Baloo, the thief Abalone, and of the mad, frightening, loving Head Wolf. But then word reaches her that the Home wants her back - just her.
Why can't Sarah talk? Does it have anything to do with the fact that she can hear inanimate objects talking? Why can't she remember anything but the fuzziest memories of her childhood - and why are her dragons so reluctant to discuss it with her? Why would an asylum short on funds go to such effort and expense to find one autistic woman? And how far will Sarah go to find out the answers?
And more importantly, when push comes to shove, will her newfound Pack stand with her, or will they turn on the strangest, most troublesome of their Wolves?
It's a beautiful story, beautifully written. I usually hate stories told in the present tense, but from Sarah's first-person perspective it sets an interesting mood, at once keenly observant and somewhat detached. The language of Sarah's quotes and of the Jungle Book sayings adopted by the Pack lends an otherworldly feel to the story.
Yay! Search over!.......2006-12-23
I read this book when I was in middle school and have looked for it a couple of times since. It has an interesting premise, the writing is superb and the characters are interesting. All in all a beautiful read but lacking in substance. I wanted more depth on the society that Sarah finds herself in and a more thought provoking foundation to the book. This will always have a special place on my bookcase however because it was the first book I read that dealt with mental illness not as a destructive force but a trade off or just a different way of being.
"We be of one blood, ye and I".......2006-09-06
Have you ever read a book that was so good that, as soon as you finish it, you actually find yourself missing the characters as if they were real people? That's how I feel about Sarah, Betwixt and Between, and Abalone. Jane Lindskold is right up there with Roger Zelazny, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and Robin McKinley as my favorite fantasists. Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls is her 1994 debut novel and one which I have read over and over, much like the works of the other above-mentioned authors. Believe me, I'm so glad this book has been newly republished (thank you, Orb Books); my old copy is in tatters. The mood-setting black and white art on the cover (check out the back cover for a more detailed version) is very evocative and should, hopefully, lure in the casual reader; with respect to Rowena Morrill, Patrick Arrasmith's cover art here improves on the original Avon Books publication.
Set in the very near future, Lindskold's rookie effort tells the story of 30-year-old Sarah, an autistic girl who cannot form her own words and must thus speak by repeating literary quotes (Shakespeare, Bacon, the Bible, etc.). She is often seen conversing with her rubber dragon with two heads, whom she calls Betwixt and Between. But what people don't realize is that the dragon talks back to her. In fact, inanimate objects talk to her and tell her things.
When the mental home in which Sarah resides suffers budget cuts, she is forced out into the streets. She is found by a young hacker girl named Abalone, who takes her to her street gang, the Pack, which is run by the insane, strict yet fair Head Wolf. Adopted by the Pack, Sarah is placed under Abalone's care, who soon has Sarah helping her run automobile scams.
Everything is gravy until Abalone finds out that the Home wants Sarah back. Abalone and Sarah investigate and discover something nefarious behind the Home's surface good intentions. Before too long, Sarah and the rest of the Pack find themselves in terrifying danger, as amoral and powerful forces, somehow tied in to Sarah's enigmatic past, attempt to gain control of Sarah by any means. Sarah, with the help of the ferocious Pack and her faithful, invaluable rubber dragon, must attempt to use her powers to save herself and her friends.
The first 76 pages reads in an almost idyllic manner. Don't get me wrong, these opening pages are great reading, and things are going on, but there isn't that "oomph" that propels the story forward. Until, of course, we get to Pack member Peep's revelation to Sarah that the Home was looking for her, and then you could feel the author step on the gas pedal. From there on, the pace increases and the book becomes more action packed. But, still, Lindskold, narrating thru Sarah's voice, maintains clarity in the tale. It's wonderful story-telling.
I gotta admit: when I first read the book years ago, 75% of Sarah's quotes went over my head; I wasn't much of a Shakespeare guy. Nevertheless, the drive and magic of the book were such that my ignorance never got in the way of my enjoyment. Even though this was her first book, Lindskold already knew how to write fleshed-out characters. Sarah, Abalone, Professor Isabella and the other lesser characters (Head Wolf, Peep...) will make you care about them and draw you into their personal story arcs. Even Betwixt and Between - and, later, Athena the robot owl - seemed to be real people to me.
Not only does the book give us an insight into the world of the high-level autistic, it also unveils the fascinating infrastructure and interpersonal dynamics of the Pack, a street gang which survives by harsh rules, yet whose members are brave, protective, and steadfastly loyal. Throughout the book Pack members resolutely state their credo: "We be of one blood, ye and I." You can't ask more from friends. Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls is one of the best first novels I've ever read, and, from this, you can tell why Jane Lindskold is considered to be one of the best fantasy writers out there.
Please read this book :).......2004-06-05
Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls has been my favorite book for years. I was enticed by the cover picture when I saw it, thought the plotline seemed interesting, and was blown away by the book. I've read it a good twenty times now, and refuse to lend it out--except to my fiance before we lived together, and I nagged him for days to finish it because I wanted it back to read again! It's a very comfortable read that sucks you in so you can't put it down. I wish I lived in the Jungle, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is even remotely intrigued by the blurb on the back cover... because my expectations were vastly exceeded when I actually read the book.

Winged Words.......2004-05-09
This book is beautiful, poems whose lines stick to your bones and goosepimple your skin. Read it. It is lush, erudite, precise writing in a voice that moves easily from poet to persona, that takes as its form every form, that finds fascination with all the things of this world and the next and the next, from kings to madmen to birds to rocks to warrior women. Grounded in every tradition yet outstripping them all, swim in the thick of these winged words.

Last of the Cyteen Trilogy.......2000-04-05
The culmination of books one and two,' The Betrayl' and 'The Rebirth', the Vindication finally wraps up the saga and all the loose ends and potetials that Cherryth has so wickedly created. A lesser author would lose you with the complexity of the characters and the plot and the world, but Cherryth just manages to capture your mind, suck it into the book, and hold it hostage until the thing is done. WARNING, do not start reading this book before a work day. Or, any of Cherryth's. Start on friday night, so that you will have plenty of time or you might end up in a lot of trouble. By the end of this book, you will want to re-read all the alliance books just to reexperience the saga now that Union has been made real to you.
As a public service announcement, the other books loosely in the order written is 'Merchenter's Luck', 'DownBelow Station', 'Forty Thousand in Gehenna', 'RimRunner', and 'Tripoint'.
...glimpses the future, food for thought........1997-03-05
I enjoyed all three books of the Cyteen trilogy, and Vindication was an excellent conclusion to the series.
Besides good character development, the book vividly describes a society and future for the human race that is credible and believable.
Human cloning is possible today. In the future of "Cyteen", human cloning techniques have developed to the point that copies of people can be produced and raised so that the copies, in effect are the original people, down to their memories, feeling and reactions to specific stimuli.
Ari Emory, the clone, political leader of Union, lives to
take revenge on those who assasinated her original. Quite a concept, and carried out brilliantly by Cherryh, one of the finest writers of fiction I have ever read.
Dan Kardas
A book you that every SF fan should have read!.......1996-01-12
Daniel Spichtinger
Cherryh manages to create a highly complex universe. Many details of the plot refer to other novels (e.g. to Downbelow Station). Anybody who has read other works by Cherryh will enjoy these cross references.
But the book is also delightful because of its thrilling story, intriguing characters and the dense athmosphere Cherryh creates.
Reading the Cyteen novels is one of the most pleasent experiences I ever had (at least with books).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Cooking food on a spinning spit dates all the way back to the discovery of fire. Nowadays, a small rotisserie oven on the kitchen counter will conveniently transform a chicken into a gloriously crispy, moist, and delicious family dinner in an hour (while you are busy doing other things, or even finding time to relax). But once you've rotisseried a couple of chickens, where do you go from there?

The Ultimate Rotisserie Cookbook is the be-all and end-all book for the rotisserie oven, with 300 recipes for every possible way to use the machine, including both what you'd expect and lots of surprises, plus a slew of sauces, rubs, marinades, and side dishes.

I checked out a bunch of rotisserie books at the library and this was the best one. It had the most variety of recipes for different meats, and the best sounding recipes. Thus, I actually bought myself a copy.
I would give it a 5th star if it had photos..i love seeing photos of each recipe in cookbooks.
