Could Not Put This Book Down!I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. I just COULD NOT put this down, held it in one hand while I cooked supper with the other. Pretty difficult since it was hardcover!
Set in the south in the 60's, it covers a lot of ground with civil rights, women's place in the southern social climate and human beings who know what 's right and wrong. It was funny, sad, and just so captivating. I was truly sad when this book ended.
I never watch a movie if it's based on a book I've read but I've heard this one is coming out soon. I might actually see the movie to see if they portray the characters and events the same with I imagined them.
You will not be disappointed by this book!

Need Tea ReviewsIf I thought the last book was packed with action, then this one has double that! It's non-stop wham wham wham one after another and I just ripped through this book in almost one sitting.
Ah, I loved this book. There were twists and turns I didn't expect, although I suppose they were very easy to spot early on but I suck at that sort of thing. The old Greek tales surrounding Daedalus were artfully crafted in the plot and were given a fresh perspective by the man in question himself. The tale of the labyrinth was also worked in as well.
In this book we get to see the conflict between Percy and Nico as he tries to get him to stand on their side, and his growing feelings for Annabeth. Don't get me wrong, it's very subtle, so you can rest assured that it won't overshadow the main plot. We also get to see him deal with jealousy, doubt, and of course, his own self-sacrificing flaw for others.
The book gets a tad darker as it deals with death, but if there was one neat quirk, it has very faint, faint trace of steampunk in it. Although I'm not sure if you'd even consider it steampunk.
Great story!

Not a lot new, but enjoyableMost of the items in this book is general knowledge to anyone who followed the campaign closely.
But there are some interesting things about all the candidates.
Hillary's denial regarding Bill and his affairs is astounding. I assumed she had just made peace with him as a cheater, but this book implies that she doesn't believe he cheats. It was also surprising that Hillary's campaign left Bill out of their strategy sessions. I was also surprised at Hillary's comfort level with disfunction. her campaign manager was clearly not doing a good job, Solis. I was also surprised by how hands off Hillary was and how indecisive she was, totally contrasted with her public image.
Obama's willingness to ride on the media early, and how Hillary's knowledge of policy and her destroying him in early debates forced him to get engaged and learn the issues. I was also surprised by the problems between Biden and Obama,i didnt think they went that deep.
Elizabeth Edward's image took a huge hit in this book, the comes across as the political wife from hell. Edward's reckless actions are astounding.
McCain's level of detachment form campaign decisions is also alarming. its as if he just wanted to wing everything. Also the adultery issues surrounding Cindy are not really refuted. His actions during the financial crises are even more out of touch than they appeared at the time. He was completely clueless. McCain's process for choosing Palin was even more reckless than originally thought. His own campaign had not done a real vetting of Palin at all.
Palin, wow, it was like reading about a petulant child. She just wouldn't speak to her advisors...seriously? i was stunned.
Reading this book, you understand how Obama won, and how candidates ran their campaigns had a direct impact on winning. Obama's campaign was a machine, with a mission, focused well run. The other's were not.
