Harsh life. You can tell how those situations make growing up difficult. I first thought this would be a funny book. Some serious topics on being treated badly.

I liked when piggie tells elephant that it’s made out of stinky shoes . It made me laugh

Life is an amazing journey. I think I'm the luckiest one to have won the lottery.

A good end to the series. It was a quick read with lots of twists and turns.

A story about Grand Central Terminal in the 1940s and the difficulties of being and becoming a successful female artist. The book travels back and forth in time of depression to the late 1970s with the efforts to restore and preserve the historical GC Terminal and finding and giving due credit to a lost masterpiece to Clara Darden the successful female illustrator of the 1940s.

It was really good.

Just as it appears that our protagonist and her would be devour-er reach an understanding the situation is further complicated by the revelation that one of their classmates is a protective deity determined to protect out of guilt for letting the tragedy that took her whole family. The whole affair is presented gothic soap opera reminiscent of Dark Shadows. While you never forget that the story is set in japan; it has a real sense of place, and the mythology is ever present, but it could easily be adapted to be set anywhere coastal with a rich folklore to draw from. The translation seems clean and efficient and the delicate lifework of the art is beautiful , even when the subject mater is horrific.

The main character is Brystal Evergreen. In this book Brystal starts out as a normal girl. As a girl she liked to read books,but her kingdom doesn’t allow females to read. Since she can’t read she applies to a job at the library dusting . One day she finds a magical book.A couple days after she finds herself learning how to be a fairy and learning all kinds of magic,and she has many adventures after.I liked this book because it was entertaining,fun,and suspenseful. I didn't have one favorite part of the book because I liked all of it. There are also The Tale Of Witchcraft,and The Tale Of Sorcery if you are looking for more books like the Tale Of Magic.

This book was entertaining, but wasn’t her best. It seemed pretty out there and not really believable.

While a continuation of the Bill Hodges story (book 2 of 3) he doesn't enter into the story until the back-half. The front half is all set up; the theft of $20,000 and priceless manuscripts and subsequent murder of the reclusive author at the hands of a maniacal fanatic, the obsessive's subsequent arrest for an unrelated crime, and many decades later the discovery of the berried treasure, an apparent miracle in the eyes of a young man whose family desperately needs one. King methodically sets up all the dominos, and puts all the pieces in place, clearly foreshadowing the Rube Goldberg conclusion, but it is still an enjoyable ride. One can't help but feel like this novel is an tantalizing amuse bouche served between a particularly delicious appetizer and a potentially dubious entree; While this and the previous instalment have been straight thriller suspense (not mysteries per say as the audience knows the killers), the epilog hints that the third and final instalment will have more traditional Stephen King themes of ESP and/or supernatural horror.
