KrisT What did you think of Prize Winner? I was so amazed when the prizes came in when she needed them.

I was impressed! She had the perfect combination of luck and hard work. I was also amazed that she stayed with her husband and gave her children as stable of an upbringing as she possibly could. In today's world, it would have been a completely different story.

Sandy (STigard) I really like Prize Winner. As I told a friend, if it had been fiction I never would have bought the storyline of the prizes coming just in time to save the day, but since it's a memoir that makes it that much more amazing. What a mom! A story like that makes you believe in guardian angels.

A little slow coming along with that #7 -- I had a few false starts after #6 that I just couldn't continue reading!

Teri G 49. The Magicians (Lev Grossman) 11/21

I was disappointed in this. The characters were flat, and not even really likeable. The storyline borrowed heavily (and clumsily) from mythology, the Narnia books, LOTR, and Harry Potter, to name a few. This book had good reviews, and I'm not sure why. I finished it because I needed to know how it ended, needn't have bothered. Will not be reading Grossman's other novel, Codex.
