Summary: help! Orient, where are you when I need you??
Comment: I mean, really. I never thought it was possible to crush on a fictional character, until I read "Finder." If I could somehow slip into Bookworld--where all the worlds in books are real--I'd head straight for Bordertown (after a lengthy visit to Pern, perhaps) so I could marry Orient. I mean, he's perfect! He's handsome, he's friends with the best mechanic in the universe (vive Tick Tick!), you'd never lose anything again, and hey! he's even Jewish. Dig this: we have here the only man who could possibly locate the socks that disappear in the dryer! Hmmmm. OK, sex drives aside, this is a fun book. Bordertown: a sleek, hip world where magic melds with technology and bohemians dabble with royalty. (Kinda makes me homesick for NYC, mmmm?) Anyway, the Elves have returned...and they're cool, not a jot like the deified Tolkien-esque elves found in epic fantasies nowdays. Orient, our hero, is a fugitive from the regular world, who has found Bordertown a haven from his dark, secret past. He's friends with Tick Tick, a runaway elven princess who is the best mechanic known to man, a werewolf named Wolfboy (who stars in "Elsewhere" and "Never Never" by Will Shetterly, which were fun but not great), and a determined, mysterious cop named Sunny Rico. Anyway, the book centers around a mystery--some strange disease is turning humans into elves and killing real elves--and how Orient comes to grips with his past. Fast-paced, sleek dialogue, interesting characters, cool locale, strong plot, and Orient. Definately a great find! (Sorry about that last 8-)!)

Summary: Emma's the only writer who can make me cry
Comment: I was wandering through a bookstore three years ago with my then boyfriend and stumbled across a book called 'The War of the Oaks' by Emma Bull. I literally devoured this book, and have continued to re-read it twice a year. I was happy to discover that she wrote a short story for the Borderland books that I've had since I was fourteen (it's been 15 years since then, imagine that!) and then to my utter delight that she wrote another, 'Finder'.
Emma catches things in ways you can't imagine, she takes you in and you're there, at the Borderlands caught in this town between worlds. If you want to fully experience the Borderlands, search out the Music for it- Tempest's 'Serrated Edge', her own band or any other number of 'Celtic Rock'.
And if you fin 'War for the Oaks', buy it. It's out of print. It's worth it a thousand times over.

Summary: Finder
Comment: I think this was a great book because it was not specific to a certain genre. It could be classified in any genre. It is a great book.
