Great Stuff!.......2006-08-04
Friedman works hard at being a down-home, profane guy but writes great stories that are packed with literary and historical references that show how deeply aware and knowledgeable he is. It is not showing off, but illuminating both plot points and historical connections. His work is not for everyone, a knowledge of the culture, especially from the 70s on, is essential to get all the references but well worth the attention. His wit and humor has many levels but is dead on funny, if you share his perspective. The mystery aspect is well designed and sometimes quite dark. He connects each book with prior books, especially with his group of friends that are linked to each new work. I recommend this book as well as all his other books.
Great memeory for Kinky Friedman........2005-12-06
In "Elvis, Jesus & Coca Cola", Kinky Friedman has continued his entertaining mystery stories with jocular just plain fun. He is really Richard Friedman, who grew up on Nottingham in West University with a great group of friends. He has a memory that is better than an elephant, and he uses it in several of his novels in a vicarious way with humor and innocence. Richard is a very talented writer. His twists and turns in this book are reminicscent of " Musical Chairs" which also utilizes his memory of his boyhood friends. He has to solve mysteries of two different Judy's, a problem that many of us folks would probably enjoy just for the heck of it. He already has great reviews, but another will not hurt. Imos is correct in his brief review on the back cover of the paperback version. When this man becomes Governor of the State of Texas you will all wish that you had read his mini mystery. Be sure to read the bottom of page 82 in the paper back version of his book. He is a real artist with talent that is voluminous. Cheers to the man and his cigar.

I laughed, I didn't cry, I finished it quickly.......2005-02-09
Beach read. That pretty much somes it up. The chapters are fast and furious, with several great lines that are worth highlighting. A few times I laughed out loud. The plot wasn't that great, and the ending was a bit predictable. The two biggest problems were the recap ending(this is how it was done, my dear Watson...) and the plot was flimsy. But, if you are looking for something to kill a few hours, you could do worse.
Fine entry in the Kinster's mystery files..........2004-01-07
Elvis, Jesus and Coca-Cola might possibly be the least imaginative of the plot lines in the Kinky mysteries (at least up to that point). It involves two of Kinky's lady friends, cleverly dubbed Uptown Judy and Downtown Judy, who are unaware of the other's existence until one of them is killed and the Village Irregulars pounce on the case.
For fans of the series, however, the plot lines are secondary to the humorous anectodes of our hero and the everyday situations that he finds himself. Kinky's friends are all featured extensively throughout the novel, which results in a number of hilarious boozy gatherings in various bars, restaurants and a gay burlesque theatre. The infighting between Ratso, Rambam, McGovern, Brennan and Kinky's new neighbor and her two yapping dogs make up for any shortcomings in the detective yarn.
I always seem to read these out of sequence, but I remember this as one of the last great entries in the series. Soon, Friedman would start resorting to new twists (including a trip to Hawaii that would make the Brady Bunch writers cringe). These books are always the best when it's Kinky and his friends drunkenly stumbling through a new case, snapping off one-liners and stories from Kinky's Texas roots and days as a country singer. Good stuff.
Funny as ever.......2000-08-27
I have read 4 of Kinkys books in the past few months, no one is better than the other, they all include very interesting characters and come bundled together with laughs a plenty. Kinky has a wonderful habit of making the extraordinary seem very ordinary, and he gives the ordinary an added twist of the extraordinary. This book is really harmless, and it is an easy read. As it is so laid back I found myself drifting and missing key moments but it really is a wonderful book for any depressed person who needs a laugh and a new outlook.

A great follow-up combo.......2004-05-10
I'd suggest this collection as a rearguard to the one beginning with A Case of Lone Star. This grouping of the Kinkster's mysteries into single volumes seems to me to be a great way to introduce more mystery novel lovers to the works of Kinky Friedman. You'll surely appreciate the observations on human nature, the tight plotting, the characters and maybe the cat.
I believe these are the only two collections of Kinky's work, so you'll have to buy the others I'm confident you'll covet individually. Which you'll do. Meanwhile, go listen to a few of Kinky's songs, the ones all those who love them would rather hear than almost any C&W produced by any artist since.
Book Description
In the mind of Ayako, an old woman in exile on a mountain in medieval Japan, nothing is certain, and nothing holds a familiar shape for long. This is a map of a psyche exalted and destroyed by solitude, and on its contorted surface Shinto philosophy, Greek mathematics, Hawaiian goddesses, Egyptian legend, quantum physics, and Babylonian myth meet and merge... In Catherynne M. Valente's second novel since the critically acclaimed The Labyrinth, language and myth construct a strange new geography of the self. This is The Book of Dreams: open it and walk the shadowy paths of this extraordinary landscape.
Customer Reviews:
A love for imagery.......2007-08-31
This book can be rated on many levels.
As a pure literary piece, as prose and imagery, and as simply what it is.
As pure literature, some may be disappointed. Some might believe that there is no "point" to this story. There is no "reason" for it, no technical introduction, climax or any of the myriad of literary structures treasured by conventional wisdom.
As prose and imagery, this is a stunningly and sometimes overwrought piece of literature. Situations and parable leap from this page and overwhelm your senses. As a pure love of writing that gallops on a page rather than runs, or twist and turns your mind, I have never met its match at this point.
Which leads to the 3rd way, to take this book as it is. It will not fit any of the defined categories you may think of offhand, but it is certainly something that will capture you for a time in its pure love of what it writes of.
Dreams of the Book.......2006-12-28
I found this book at the library after hearing about the author. I was curious and read it on a rather hectic trip.
My initial reaction was mixed...but as the story mellowed in my brain and invaded my dreams, I knew I had stumbled upon something more than a cunningly written piece of poetic fiction.
Catherynne M. Valente cleverly weaves several elements of myth from around the world into the five tiered pagoda in the book of dreams. I could not begin to give the twisting turning plot justice by trying to describe it here. It would be like trying to capture the chattering and singing of a brook as it winds through the woods.
Suffice to say, you would be well served to dive into this world of spirits and myths where the silk moths weave slick, black, gloss....
Delicious Language........2006-01-13
I've been aching to write a review for this book since I finished it a couple of weeks ago. But where does one find the words for such an inspiring and intoxicating work?
Read this book for a love of language. Read this book to be immersed in the voice of solitude. Read this book to lose yourself for much too short a time.
To be honest, I read this wonderful book in a few days and promptly reread it immediately after, which is not something I often do. Valente paints with such vibrant language that I could taste the weak tea, the river and the dust. I plan on reading this treasure again, very soon, and will continue to do so whenever I need such a friend.
Wow........2005-10-11
Catherynne M. Valente, Yume No Hon: The Book of Dreams (Prime, 2005)
Sometimes I feel as if I should have a "five-and-a-half star" ranking. I've given a lot of books five stars in the past couple of years-- more five-star reviews than I'd given out in the decade before, almost. (Blame my getting a library card again, and thus not being limited to my own books.) But there are some books that transcend even the five-star rating, that are not only outstanding works of art, but that are so beautifully written that they deserve a place on the short shelf of sacred literature. The benchmark, for me, of this trait has long been Wendy Walker's The Secret Service, the book I consider the most beautifully written and constructed book I've ever read. Yume No Hon: The Book of Dreams is the first book I've come across since reading The Secret Service that rises to the same level.
Throw away your conceptions of what a novel is before cracking the cover on this one. All the stuff you got taught in English class, chuck it out the window. Yume No Hon is character study in its purest form. The problem is, you've got an autobiography from the most unreliable of narrators (cf. Lauren Slater's Excellent Lying, to which this bears a passing resemblance more than once, were our main character epileptic and living in America); every time you think you've got an answer as to Ayako's real nature, you're likely to turn around and find yourself with many more questions. It's the mimetics of creative nonfiction, but turned around and attached to fiction; is Ayako dying and delirious, or possessed by powerful spirits? Is she ghost, hermit, memory, God? Ultimately, the answers to the questions don't matter (though the very end of the book does offer the reader a chance to resolve them); the journey, rather than the destination, is the point here.
And what a journey it is. Valente's language is lush, rich, precise, every word slotted into place with painstaking care. While reading this, I found myself with a constant sense of overwhelming rightness in word choice ("rightness" here as opposed to "suitability;" a Dennis Lehane or George R. R. Martin novel contains suitable language, but the sentences could be phrased in many ways and still get the point across; the right language is that place where you think that there really is no better way to phrase something). The book is rich with striking, original metaphors and turns of phrase that will have the lover of beautiful language scrambling for a notebook to copy it all down. Buy two, actually; you may end up filling one completely before you're done.
While the one negative effect of all this is to highlight the book's few typos (and, comparatively, there are very few; if memory serves, I found five, and two of them were arguable), this is one of those exceptionally rare pieces of work where stumbling upon a typo became something forgivable.
Yume No Hon belongs with Walker's The Secret Service, McCarthy's Blood Meridian, Koja's Strange Angels, and a handful of other novels on the short shelf of sacred literature-- the first stuff you save when your apartment catches fire. It is a small jewel, to be read, pondered, re-read, and (for novelists) aspired to. Find a copy. Read it. *****
Book Description
A woman at the icy end of the sea yearns to reach the stars but her broomstick refuses to fly. When a mysterious raven lures her into daunting adventures, with wide-ranging implications for the well-being of all living things, she learns that neither ghosts nor monsters are her deadliest adversaries, but the whisperings of her own fears. Fighting her way through her darkest nightmares the woman prevails, but realizes in the end that each man alone must create his heaven or his hell on earth. THE WOMAN AND THE RAVEN is a poetic myth about the importance of the words we say to ourselves, and others.

A good ancient, mythical story.......2007-07-20
Based on Icelandic myths, this story takes place in the distant past, when trolls and elves still walked the earth. A woman lives alone in a cottage, far from anyone else. It is full to overflowing with books, parchments and scrolls, many written in languages that were dead even back then. She yearns to return to the stars, but her broomstick refuses to function, for she has lost the magic.
A raven-wizard gives her three tasks, in order to help heal a broken world. The woman must return a runic sword to its proper owner, a knight who has been dead for many years. She must, single-handedly, defeat a hideous wyvern living in a huge lake (think of the Loch Ness Monster, but with a nastier disposition). Then, the woman must find and return a large blue gem, the Stone of Antariel, to its rightful owners, a race of elves. It's not as easy as it sounds; the forces of evil are keeping a close eye on the woman and her progress.
This story has a different, almost mystical, feel to it, and it's really good. It's a short novel, about 100 pages, and anyone who enjoys ancient, mythical stories will enjoy this one.
Inner demons.......2007-06-01
Reviewed by Susan Pettrone for Reader Views (5/07)
In this somewhat slim volume, a world of mystical, magical life begins. Set in an icy world filled with wintry beauty, we meet a woman on the first page of "The Woman and The Raven," who though strong in her independence, is caught within a nightmare of her own making. Though she seems satisfied carving a life for herself out of what the wintry land around her offers, still she dreams of more. Her dreams, incantations and legends interwoven within this book, are simple yet so complex, that at times the reader isn't sure what is happening is within the present, the past or possibly the future. Her nightmares become reality as she is faced not with the demons and monsters most are afraid of, but terrors which are hers alone.
There is no doubt in the mind of the reader that this woman is fantastical in many ways, but as the story grows, the legends and magical life of this woman create a tapestry of such contrast between beauty and horror that the ending of the book leaves the reader realizing that the monsters she battled were not of the real world around her but were monsters created of her own fears. These fears are those which live within her heart....fears which she alone must face and overcome.
The mood set within the pages of "The Woman and The Raven" is also touched by this woman, for her experiences had the ability to take this reader from a small room in a home amidst a big city and transport her to a fortress of elves within a far away land. This was a book where I found myself enraptured with the story within while feeling an odd sense of internal connection while visiting this land so different from my own. Perhaps it was because this woman was battling demons not unlike many we battle each day or perhaps it was because she seemed to be someone we all have known at one time in our lives. Whatever the reason, "The Woman and The Raven" was a book this reader will not long forget and which will I expect, be one drawn from the shelves and experienced over and over again, each time anew as the woman within makes discoveries, not unlike those many of us make every day.
Mythic fantasy about Iceland.......2007-04-18
This brief book reads like a mythic tale out of Icelandic folklore--and perhaps it is. The author spent time as writer in residence at the cultural center in Gunnarssfnun, Iceland, and thanks the people for their songs and stories.
The story takes place at a time "when trolls and elves roamed the earth." The unknown woman heroine, the chief character, is a magic-user, but she can no longer fly to the stars, our ancient home. She is set on a difficult path by a Raven-Wizard: she must use a runic sword, slay a vicious wyvern and recover a lost Elven gem, which gives our world its light. These seem impossible tasks, since she must oppose the Shadow Sorcerer, the evil one loosed upon our world.
The writing has a lyric mystical quality about it, even though it uses simple words; and in a few sentences it reminds us that men can make of Earth either a heaven or a hell.
Armchair Interviews says if mythic fantasy is your forte, then you will want to read this one.
Icelandic alchemy.......2007-04-13
This tale from the Icelandic Eastfjords takes the readers by the hand and leads them through a magic realm of sparkeling snow and colorful skies into legendary lands. As you wonder through winter's wonderland the wind searches your bones, the heart yearns for life light as the stars and you drift into tales within tales, some of them as ancient as archaic fears. Despite the songs and stories contained within a story the tale is not just that. The adventures of the reluctant heroine beset with doubts only serve as a fable - much like Paolo Coelho's Alchemist - for the reader to look inside and change the little voice that we all carry in our head so that it may speak of freedom and success and no longer of defeat and failure.
original and exciting .......2007-03-27
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this original and exciting adventure among trolls and elves. People of legends and sagas come to life and you get to know them as well as your next-door neighbor.
Book Description
In 1904, when thirty-four-year-old British Army captain Arthur Hart-Synnot was sent to Japan to learn the language of his country's new ally, romance was the furthest thing from his mind. At least five generations of the Hart family had served in the British Army-his father, grandfather, and uncle had risen to the rank of general, and the ambitious young officer expected to keep up the tradition. Arriving in Tokyo on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War,
Arthur met Masa Suzuki at the Officers' Club and tested out his first few words of Japanese on her. Masa had grown up in the working-class section of Tokyo, amid small-shop keepers and craftsmen. The sixth in a family of seven, she had left school at age fourteen to work in a shop. She was a dutiful Japanese daughter-when she helped her mother serve meals, she would kneel at a respectful distance while her father and brothers ate. Arthur and Masa fell in love quickly and powerfully. Throwing convention to the wind, they lived together in Tokyo until orders came for Arthur to return to England. For the next decade and a half, the two unlikely soul mates attempted to make a life together, testing the limits of racial and cultural tolerance in their countries and in themselves. Separated for years at a time, they stayed in touch through long, deeply affectionate letters they wrote to each other in Japanese. The great love affair sustained Arthur through some of the most horrific battles of the First World War, and even when the relationship came to an end, in a way that neither could have foreseen, they continued their correspondence.
They wrote to each other through the troubled interwar period, as Arthur's family estate was caught up in a civil war in Ireland, as the great earthquake of 1923 ravaged Tokyo, as the militarists seized control of Japan and took the country into a brutal invasion of China, and finally, in a bitter twist of fate, as the once-allied Britain and Japan faced off against each other in the Second World War. Her letters to him were lost, but she saved every one of his, more than eight hundred in total. The authors use this treasure trove of letters to describe a story of great love and great loss and of destinies etched amid the conflicts of the first half of the twentieth century.

A love story that crosses boundaries in a time of war and bigotry........2007-08-06
Peter Pagnamenta and Momoko Williams' book, Sword and Blossom, takes a look at this real life story, and attempts to tell the story behind a cache of letters that were found in Japan.
In 1904, a young English officer, Captain Arthur Hart-Synnot, arrived in Tokyo, Japan to study Japanese and to learn as a possible advancement in his career. At the time, not very much was actually known about the Japanese, and the view that Westerners had was decidedly skewed towards the quaint and romanticized. Too, the Japanese had kept the world at bay, until Admiral Perry showed up in the mid-nineteenth century and Japan found itself rudely yanked into the modern world, and now was eager to prove themselves as one of the world's power players. Now they were starting to shift to an industrialized economy, and the British were more than happy to help, seeing in Japan a counterbalance to Russian and Chinese expansion in the Pacific.
Arthur settled into an officer's life in Tokyo, and gradually found himself fascinated by the culture around him. Too, he has a talent for languages, and soon he meets somone who is going to help him in the study of both Japanese culture and langauge very much.
Masa Suzuki is a young woman from a large, working class family. Unlike many Japanese women, she has had to fend for herself in many ways after being divorced from her husband, and is working in a club for officers. When she meets Arthur, they quickly become friends, and eventually that affection will turn into romantic attachment. When Arthur is sent as an observer to the Russian-Japanese war in Manchuria, he begs Masa to write to him.
Soon begins one of the most remarkable romances that I have ever read about. While only Arthur's letters to Masa have survived -- it is unknown what happened to the ones that she sent -- there are enough references to hers to piece together some of the story. He is caught up in his military career in the British army, and begs for her to join him, and even proposes marriage.
How it all resolves is the hook that keeps the reader going. I found Arthur and Masa's story heartbreaking to read. His letters are tender and passionate, filled with small drawings and stories of his life when he is away from Japan. Always he tells her that he has not forgotten her, and that someday they will be together.
There are extensive footnotes, a bibliography, introduction and afterword, and a great deal of research. An insert of photographs give Arthur and Masa a face and setting, and several maps help to give an idea of time and distance.
For anyone looking for a truly heartrending tale of love and cultural differences, this is an excellent read. The writing flows easily, the authors are not afraid to touch on the realities of a long-distance relationship, and don't try to whitewash some of the uglier aspects of both cultures. It also helped me to understand some of the attitudes that led up to the Second World War, and gives a vivid picture of life for a soldier on active duty far away from home. Too, the letters that Arthur wrote from the trenches in World War I are particularly harrowing.
I happily recommend this to anyone interested in Japanese culture, it's a real eye opener.
Remarkable story.......2006-10-27
This is one of the most moving stories I have read in a long, long time. Set against the backdrop of the most turbulent times in the 20th Century, it tells the love story between a British officer and a Japanese woman that spans many years. Simply fascinating.

what you can get into.......2006-12-22
This book was an accurate account of what can happen if you stray from Christianity and get involved with another religion. Whether it be Islam or any other religion there are dangers and pitfalls out there. This book lets you know the heartaches and troubles that can occur. If you are thinking of joining Islam, then you definately need to read this book first. It will be an eye opener to you, and maybe keep you from making the same mistakes. I think books like these are surely needed in times like today.A must have item!
infuriating, silly book.......2006-09-17
This is soooo poorly written, lots missed by any editing, and the STORY! Oh my god! This is a silly woman, one who needs LESS religion and much more common sense. If she only appreciated what she had, got off the computer, and quit feeling sorry for herself, perhaps she would have been somewhat productive. ALSO, there is a smarmy gossipy tone to this book. Like a car wreck, I do think this warranted ONE star. It makes you wonder what the next self destructive thing is that she will do. If you are considering Islam or becoming christian, steer clear of this one!
what you will learn.......2006-01-09
I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS BOOK AND READING IT, CAN SEE THE SERIES OF EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED. IT HIT CLOSE TO HOME, AND IN MY PERSONAL FEELINGS THINKS THIS AUTHOR DONE A WONDERFUL JOB. I HOPE MORE BOOKS WILL BE WRITTEN. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THIS ON OPRAH'S BOOK CLUB. GOOD JOB PATTY CHRISTIAN

Swordwoman.......2001-05-20
Dark Agnes is in my estimation the finest female character Robert Howard created.As with all his other heroines she is hard and cruel but there is an extra edge to Agnes;something hard to put your finger on.Maybe it's because it is set in period France which is within a reasonable history to us or possibly because Howard paints as black a picture of childhood as can be imagined,the breaking away from which starts her on her road to fame, as the greateat living swordswoman (and possibly man!!)It is a pity that Robert Howard only wrote 3 stories about this complex character.
Definitely Not Red Sonya.......1999-12-14
Howard was prolific. Limited, but prolific. He wrote many tales including those of Boxers, Barbarians, Religious fanatics. But this is something different. A woman who rebelled against Middle Ages society and became a freebooter. Dark Agnes is enjoyable, fun and definitely one of the most overlooked protagonists of Howard's Menagerie. Great book.

Excellent pies.......2007-01-16
Everyone should have this little book sitting on their kitchen counter along with a box of Bisquick. I have tried about 10 of the recipes and have made some of them over and over. They are all simple to do and so far everyone of them is simply yummy! My husband can be a picky eater and he loves all of the recipes I have tried out of this great cook book from main meals to deserts. Do yourself a favor and get this book ASAP.
