One Hex of a Wedding (Chintz 'n China Mystery Series)

One Hex of a Wedding (Chintz 'n China Mystery Series)

• Review:: 'More Emerald Please Another great book in the Chintz & China Mystery Series. Emerald learns more about her ex-husband (and why their marriage ultimately ended) while trying to get through the wedding planner's worst nighmare that leads up to her wedding to Joe. Her maid of honor is cursed and stalked, her other bridesmaid is juggling a job and a new baby while her husband is headed off for an extended job on the road, and her daughter struggles with first love. That doesn't even include the family dynamics brought about by the wedding. Even Nanna makes an appearance. Emerald's reactions are real (why does this have to happen when I'm getting married) and fun (when a photographer tries to pair a swimsuit model with Joe for a calendar shoot). Can't wait for the next book!
• Review:: 'One Heck of a Good Book I have benn a long time fan of Yasmine Galenorn's books, both fiction and non-fiction. This instalment into the lives of Emerald and friends was fast and furious! Right out of chapter one she had me hooked on the fast plot and tight twists and turns of Em's wedding and Murry's freaky stalker! I love this series! The characters are well written and have developed over time. I hope this isn't the last in the series as a previous reviewer hinted at! Please write more! Well Done!
• Review:: 'Good Installment Overall, One Hex of a Wedding, the latest (and possibly the last?) installment in the Chintz 'n China Mystery series kept my interest throughout and was quite enjoyable to read (especially the last chapter). Since I don't want to waste a lot of time ranting about the various aspects of the book, I'll just list some "good" and "bad" things about it...in my opinion, of course! The Good: **I like the fact that they finally changed the cover (it was getting a bit repetitious with the 'tea pot,' or whatever that was, theme). While I do like the change, it could have been better...the cover does not really fit the mood of the book and the bride on the cover is not all that representative of the main character. **The story kept my interest...that's always a good thing when it comes to fiction! The author knows how to finish a chapter to make you wanna read more. **Overall, most of the characters are well developed. (Except maybe Joe, Em's fiance, who seems like the main character from some mediocre romance novel.) **I loved the last chapter...it was a pleasure to read. (Although, unless I missed it, there wasn't any mention of Rose's necklace.) **The sexual references were finally where they should be in a book like this. There wasn't any "going-too-far" that some of the previous books had. The Bad: **This was not a murder mystery. There was no murder to be solved. **Some of Emerald's 'psychic' impressions seemed more like common sense to me. After your friend's house was intentionally set on fire by some crazy person, wouldn't you feel something 'negative' around their property? **The amount of bad stuff that happens to these characters can be a bit overwhelming. Is this the only way to move the story along? (This technique was much better used in the second novel, Legend of the Jade Dragon...which happens to be my favorite of all the five books.) **The "f" word was used somewhat liberally throughout this novel. While I didn't mind it that much (since it made the dialogue more realistic), it might bother some readers who take this to be a total "cozy" mystery. **For a woman who owns a tearoom, Emerald sure is addicted to coffee. While mentioning this obsession a couple of times throughout would not have bothered me, the fact that almost every page has some coffee reference was annoying...it made me cringe every time she would order some triple-shot-whatever coffee. I felt like I was reading an ad for Starbucks or something. **Just for fun, here's a line from page 183: "Harlow paled beneath her exquisitely airbrushed tan." I don't know about you, but I find that sentence impossible to visualize...especially since it comes from a first-person point-of-view. In conclusion, One Hex of a Wedding was one of the better installments in this series. And if it is the last, then it ended on a perfect note. -Ater
• Review:: 'Great new one about Em This one tells a wee bit more about Em and her friends. Her ex shows up to stir up trouble with a capital T.

Wild Swans - Three Daughters of China

Wild Swans

Three Daughters of China:

Blending the intimacy of memoir and the panoramic sweep of eyewitness history, Wild Swans has become a bestselling classic in thirty languages, with more than ten million copies sold. The story of three generations in twentieth-century China, it is an engrossing record of Mao's impact on China, an unusual window on the female experience in the modern world, and an inspiring tale of courage and love.

Jung Chang describes the life of her grandmother, a warlord's concubine; her mother's struggles as a young idealistic Communist; and her parents' experience as members of the Communist elite and their ordeal during the Cultural Revolution. Chang was a Red Guard briefly at the age of fourteen, then worked as a peasant, a "barefoot doctor," a steelworker, and an electrician. As the story of each generation unfolds, Chang captures in gripping, moving -- and ultimately uplifting -- detail the cycles of violent drama visited on her own family and millions of others caught in the whirlwind of history.

• Review:: 'So much to learn in this book A fascinating read. I knew things were bad in China under Mao, but this account really brings it home. 800 million people lead a real-life Clockwork Orange existence. This book has to make you appreciate living in a democracy and consider how fortunate we are to have a system that has checks on power. (Thank you founding fathers!) The way the author told the history of China in a personal narrative, yet was able to fit her situation into the larger context of what was happening throughout China, was not only educational but made the book a real page-turner. An incredible story of human survival in a dangerous world of treachery, corruption, betrayal, brutality, and absolute lunacy. Now I think I better understand how Cambodia under Pol Pot, and North Korea under Kim Jong Il can happen. Can't recommend this book highly enough.
• Review:: 'Open up This is really a great read for someone interested in getting an overview of the last 90 years of mainland Chinese history. It was suprisingly easy to digest quickly - a real page turner. Particular interesting was the focus on classism and women's rights in China.
• Review:: 'A Vew of 20th Century China Jung Change does an excellent job of helping her readers to understand the history of twentieth century China by telling the life stories of herself, her mother and grandmother. Fascinating.
• Review:: 'One of my favorite books, someone should make it into a movie "Wild Swans" by Jung Chang is a very fascinating and informative first hand social history of modern China. The book is exceptionally well written and is hard to put down. The true stories of three generations of Chinese women and their families are presented against the backdrop of many of the important events in the last hundred years of Chinese history. Jung Chang's grandmother and her parents are the most memorable persons, in my opinion, in "Wild Swans." Her parents were dedicated Communists, genuinely striving to better the lives of the Chinese people. It is very tragic and sad how their dedication to the improvement of China and its people, was betrayed by Mao's foolish, malevolent policies. "Wild Swans" conveys in graphic details the horrors of the Cultural Revolution, initiated by Mao partly or largely in his attempt to regain control of the Chinese government and society. I sometimes wonder why "Wild Swans" has not yet been made into a movie. While I doubt if it could be filmed in China in the near future, the right director and cast could produce a great movie based on this exceptionally fine book.
• Review:: 'Flowing history and the human spirit endures This is a phenomenal book that describes life in China from the 1910's through the 1970's as viewed by the author, her mother, and grandmother. The author writes and describes the events around their lives vividly and with clarity. The first chapters describing her grandmother's life is remarkable and the reader is able to learn so much about Chinese culture and history. Her mother's life is truly cinematic in nature, going through the most unstable years in China from World War 2, the Chinese Civil War, and then Mao's disastrous economic and social policies. Her mother is truly a heroic character in this book, trying to care for the family and others around her while the country descended into internal chaos during the Red Guard years. The author is very vivid on how she describes growing up as a "privileged" child, both her parents were Communist Party members, her father a senior one in the province. The author also describes the cult of personality that brain-washed her into believing and following Mao as a god while attending school. Then the Cultural Revolution came about and the suffering and persecution of innocent civilians, teachers, college professors, and fellow Communists party members were done based on loyalties and family heritage. It was during this period where the author describes first hand the suffering and the loss of millions of people due to the wide-spread failure of Mao's social, political, and economic policies that ruined and set back the country from the late 1950's until his death in the late 70's. This became the period of time that the author saw the criminal and insane leadership of Mao and how Communism, despite of its ideals, can be corrupt and oppress the people they are suppose to represent. It is very educational reading on how after Mao died that many detained Communist officials were released and later absolved, to include Deng Xiaoping who led China back into the modern world once the Gang of Four was arrested for the crimes against China. The author's and her family's first hand experience and suffering brings out the truth about what happened in China during the Cultural Revolution, a period not fully covered or described in many history books. Simply an amazing book where I learned about Chinese culture and traditions, the vast intricacies of the Communist rule in China in the 1950's, and the starvation, suffering, and death of millions in the 1960's and 1970's due to failing social policies that led the country to ruin. The most important story of the book is how the human spirit endures, despite the dangers and hardships, when the family stays together and continues to love and care for each other. Another theme is that a mother will give all she can to care for her family, so that her children will have the best opportunity to succeed in life. The author's grandmother and mother gave all they had in love, support, and care for her and her siblings. They have done well and this book honors their memories and love of the family.
