#14,366 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

I am a huge fan of her books, and I think I have all of them, But I have to say I did not enjoy this one. It’s more of a war book than a romance one. I also had to concentrate on what I was reading because of the way it was written it was a little hard to keep up with what they were meaning. I’m sure they talked like that, but it was to confusing for me. I usually finish her books in a day. This one took about a week. I was so excited for this to come out, but I have to say I was disappointed. If the rest are like this I won’t be reading them.

Let me begin my saying I am a big fan of Tamara Leigh, and especially her Age of Faith series. I was so excited to read about the beginning of the mighty Wulfrith family, but after finishing it, I feel like I was left with more questions than answers.What I did like:1) The heroine is a strong character and not your typical damsel in distress.2) The struggle between Saxon and Norman rule was well portrayed. No particular side was broadly painted as "the bad guys." There were definitely bad characters, but on both sides.3) I feel like I got more background information about the Norman invasion, and it was a lot more interesting to read than a textbook.3) The D'Argents seem like a cool family.......and with that I will begin my cons:1) I actually think the hero is my least favorite of the D'Argent bunch. Don't get me wrong, he's definitely your knight-in-shinging-armor, but he's not nearly as interesting as the other men in his family. His journey to overcome personal struggles (aka shrug off his "mercilessness") happened "off-camera," so we never get to see his arc. Furthermore, I don't feel like he really changed all that much. I couldn't put my finger on any big differences between the first time we meet him on the battlefield at Senlac and the next we see him returning a couple years later. Maybe I missed it, but for me, this made his character very boring to read.2) As much as I admire Aelfled's loyalty to her people, she kind of annoyed me. I would elaborate here, but I don't want to give away any potential spoilers.3) I echo what some previous posters said: there's not nearly enough relationship development between the H/h. In most of Tamara Leigh's other books (at least that I can remember), the main thrust of them IS the development of the relationship between the H/h. I suppose I was expecting the same for this story, and I was disappointed not to have it. One poster said it well: this is more of a war book than a relationship book. YES.4) The dialogue, and even the sentence structure of the narration, came across as very confusing and clunky at times. On several occasions I had to re-read sentences to figure out what was going on. It could be that my brain just isn't as sharp as it used to be--or it is clouded with the consumption of entirely too many Christmas cookies-- but I remember her other books being easier to follow and the dialogue more intriguing.5) SO MANY CHARACTERS. Great Batman! Fetch me an aspirin! I think I finally got everyone sorted out by the end of the book, but at the beginning I was totally overwhelmed with who was who and who belonged to who, etc. I almost broke out a piece of paper to make a flow chart. I was relieved I was eventually able to make sense of it all, but honestly, this tempted me to put the book aside altogether after the first few chapters.One more note and then I'm done. Promise. So this is totally a personal preference (and I realize this rules me out from ever being a medieval maiden), but I could not help but notice that in almost every scene that Cyr and Aelfled were romantic, either one or both was sweaty, covered in blood, dirt, or were- shall we say- fragrant? Leigh even says in one scene they ignored the smells of each other's "unwashed bodies." Ummm. Ok, I'll make allowances for the fact that this is about medieval times where hygiene was very different, but for me, it was quite off-putting. I guess I am destined to be a 21st century girl after all.Over all, even though there were more cons for me than not, it was worth reading if only to provide familial backstory to the Wulfriths as we know them in the AoF series . I'll give the second novel a chance when it comes out in the Spring, but I do sincerely hope it is easier to follow, more relationship-centered, and with characters who bathe. :)

I’m a HUGE fan of Tamera Leigh’s medieval books - she even convinced a skeptic like me to enjoy some time travel tomes! I’m midway thru this book, and like a previous reviewer I really, really, really want to love it as much as I love her others. But. But the language is cumbersome and makes for a really bumpy ride. Love the characters, just can’t get into their story. Too many distractions? I’m usually one of those “can’t put it down” readers, but this one just isn’t doing it for me. 😕

Please let not others criticism of the rather olde worldly almost poetic language Ms Leigh uses in these books share you off dear readers. I know many are used to the 6th grade writing skills so many romance authors ae only capable of, as well as, the need to throw in copious amounts of sex to cover poor plots.Another complaint some had was lack of romance, as they stated. Alas & alack, these complainers are used to the H & h fighting a few pages & then falling into bed together. This is a story of substance & breadth w/2 people overcoming great odds & challenges to be together.I adored this story. Why?? For the exact reasons others saw fit to complain over. Dust off your dictionary & delve into true, brilliant writing.

I am a devoted fan of Tamara Leigh's medieval romance books, and enjoyed this book as one of the best. It is a new series starter and it is set in the era of the Norman Conquest, starting right at the end of the Battle of Hastings. Pairing a conquering but honourable Norman hero and a rebellious but warmhearted Saxon heroine is a great recipe for an emotional and adventurous romance story turning enemies into lovers and instruments of future peace - and Tamara Leigh delivers an excellent rendition of the theme. I loved the deep and believable emotions, the honourable character of both the hero and heroine, the way they didn't stop trusting the other even though their actions often set them at opposing sides. I also liked the theme of a warrior becoming disillusioned with the cruelty of war and trying to overcome the "merciless" epithet, and the fact that although not overly emphasized, the faith in God and seeking to do the right thing and God's will was present in the hero's (and in the end, in the heroine's) way of thinking. ALthough not quite in the spotlight, there was a priest who was a positive and wise figure which I enjoyed.In the author's other Medieval series (Age of Faith) I enjoyed the Wulfrith siblings' strong bond and loving relationship. In this book, the D'Argent siblings and cousins represent a similar closely bonded family group which was a lovely aspect of the story. I also loved the references to the future Wulfrith series and the previous Lady of Conquest (until now) standalone book.Although Cyr and Aelfled's love story is happily resolved in the end, other problems in the story aren't - clearly left for the subsequent volumes to expand and resolve. Two or maybe three future romance stories are foreshadowed that I can see - and I can't wait for them to be written.

I have always been the sort of person who likes to stay in shape and stay healthy and strong, so I'm always looking for books just like this. I have to say that in this particular case, I was most definitely not disappointed by these kettlebell routines!Like a lot of people, I've never done a single thing with kettlebells before. I've seen them when I'm at the gym, but I had no idea what to do with them, so I just stuck to my normal routines, even when they got boring and repetitive.When I saw this book, I knew I had to get it. Normal gym routines can get so boring, so I wanted to shake it up a little. From the first time I tried one of these routines, I was absolutely HOOKED! Doing these exercises is unlike all of those other gym machines, it's fun and really gives you a workout!John keeps the book interesting for the whole thing, too. The formatting was totally readable on my kindle, no problem at all, so I could bring it to the gym with me. The pictures made sure that I was doing the exercises right, those illustrations were amazing!Highly recommend for people of any fitness level who want to get in shape and gain strength! Great book. I learned a ton, and not just about kettlebell exercises, but about their cool history and even about nutrition and health! Very in depth, John doesn't just toss you in, he makes sure you have everything you need to succeed.

If you are interested in kettlebell training this book is for you (you probably are since you are reading the comments section to this book). This book is a "complete guide book" that allows you to understand the ins and out of the benefits of kettlebell training. Lot of people knows the benefits of kettlebell training or have seen someone do it, but do not know how to train with kettlebell resulting in poor form, and poor result. Do yourself a favor and get this book to lay a strong foundation of kettlebell training.Warning to the beginners: This book is not end all be all book, reading alone would not allow you to obtain the body of your dream. TAKE ACTION, follow the workout, and diet plan that author lays out in the book and you will see result. Also, my recommendation is to join a gym and get a profession help to nail down the form and incorporate proper weight training as well.For all the advanced lifters, even if you were involved in fitness game for many years you still would want to get this book because with this level of detail in this book there is no reason that you will not learn something out of this book.

At my age it is hard for me to find exercises that would fit my fitness level. I started looking for an activity that would not make me tired but highly effective. I saw this book. The moment I finished reading it, I rushed to the store and purchased my own set of kettlebells. The next day I started applying the exercises. A week after, I notice the difference in my arms and thighs. The exercises are easy to follow. The book also explained the history and science behind it. I am now so addicted with this kind of physical activity. I recommended it to my wife who is years younger than me. She enjoys it too. There is a section that discuss women handling Kettlebells. I also bought her a pair. Thanks to the book I am certified kettlebell lover. My day is not complete without us training at least 30 minutes a day.

I picked up Kettlebell: The Ultimate Kettlebell Workout not knowing much about kettlebell workouts. I found the book very informative on teaching me about workouts with the kettlebell. If you are training for a sport, the book has a kettlebell workout for you. If you want to lose weight and get toned, the book has a kettlebell workout for you. The book also has links to many videos that teach about the proper use of the kettlebell. One of the things that I really liked about the book was how the author stressed the importance of safety with the kettlebell by doing the movements with correct form. The book is well formatted and has numerous photos to keep you interested. Overall I found the book to be quite useful and I would recommend it.

I have done a lot of workout types but I was never really sure on Kettlebell workouts, Thats why I decided to purchase this book. So far I must say, the programs within the book are great and have helped me so much. I feel like my arms have grown twice the size and my core is getting pretty darn tight. The illustrations in the book teach you all the steps you need and especially important is to avoid injury. The layout of the book serves to be used by the reader and the programs are all in there just waiting to be started. When your ready, the fun begins.I like the way John Powers has written this book, its easy to learn from yet advanced to master. The programs start of simple and effective yet the more you do them, the harder they get and before you know it your lifting like the toughest guys you know.This book deserves 5 stars purely for the information in it on kettlebell training. I'm glad I bought it.

I really love kettlebells. They have changed how I exercise. I have exercised all my life with the exception of an extended period when my kids were small and doing so impacted their health negatively. Such as the time I tae bowed my daughter in the head. Recently I noticed that I was losing my ability to bounce back from small injuries so I figured I needed to find an exercise that could get me strong in a short period of time. Kettlebells have fit the bill. I am always looking for new books to increase my knowledge. This book is a great resource. It has a lot of information, especially about performing moves correctly. This is very important especially with this form of exercise. I recommend this book to anyone interested in kettlebell training.

#294,895 Paid in Kindle Store (See Top 100 Paid in Kindle Store)

During WWII Durrell served as a press attache to the British Embassy. After a life spent in various locales, he moved to Cypress as a private individual, settling in the Greek village of Bellapaix. He wrote this memoir as a tribute to the Cypriot peasantry and the island landscape.Durrell got to know the people of the island by working in many different jobs, eventually serving as an official of the Cyprus government the last two years he was there. The home he chose to make livable was a portion of the ruined monastery of Bellapaix, a Gothic remnant "with huge carved doors made for some forgotten race of giants and their oxen."This is the third in a trilogy of island books, earlier ones about Corfu and Rhodes. In this last one, Durrell set out to describe the moods and atmospheres on Cyprus during the unfolding of the tragedy (1953-6) when English and Greek governments brought military forces to Cypress to fight for the domination of the island. In a poem to Cypress Durrell wrote, "In an island of bitter lemons, where moon's cool fevers burn ... Beauty, darkness, vehemence ... and the Greek sea's curly head keep its calms like tears unshed."

Yes, Durrell's writing as this book begins is overblown, flowery, as some others have said. It starts off as a paean to village life in Cyprus. ( Durrell is caught up in the life of the "noble savage", the Cypriot villagers who live much as they did eons ago. He even buys ,and settles into, a home in an obscure village.) But, then this memoir morphs into a sad look at the push for Cypriot self-determination in the 1950s.The author changes from an optimistic lover of all things Cyprus to a man who is just not sure where his allegiances lie between the English, Greeks and Turks. To give Durrell credit, he is open-minded on the issues---wants to avoid the problems or postpone them. But, this is not to be. Conflict comes. War comes. He's been hired by the British government. He ultimately is a colonial power.Durrell's voice is gentle and seems to be of the past--which it is. As a side note, he gives an interesting take on how ordinary villagers become partisans--revolutionaries. This is still applicable today, I think.

I love books like this that explore an area of ideas or the world where it would never have occurred to me to go. Well, this guy was there and had the knowledge (like the Greek language) to understand the situation. I read about the trouble in Cyprus at the time, but understood nothing.Some may say 'how could a political situation that happened 50 years ago matter now?' Just read the book. It is just great. The subject may not matter to many (I consider it tragic, but no more than an hundred other areas of the world with similar problems), but the fact that this guy was on the ground there is brilliant.The book is so well written that I think most anyone will be absorbed by the narrative, and lack of knowledge or interest in this remote area will not affect the reading.I know this is all a little vague, but I'm not the writer Durrell is.

I'm a great fan of Durrell, and this book fulfills my highest expectations. A story of what happened to the people and culture of Cyprus (what great human hearts these people had!) in the mid-1950's, with powerful, compassionate analysis that sheds light on the situation in Syria, Iran, Greece, etc., today,. ....our attention is especially drawn to what was lacking in Cyprus that the Cypriots' minds supplied by idealizing others (the Greeks) ..... along with the influence of ancient Byzantium -- an influence Western minds apparently can't wrap themselves around. Thanks to Amazon for making this book readily available.

This book covers events on Cyprus that I wasn't aware of - they took place around the time I was born and I don't remember covering them in school. The author paints a wonderful picture of what life on Cyprus was like just before and then during the beginning of the fight to free the island from control by the British. He describes his friendships with people he works with and people in the small village where he buys a house, and how they change as the political situation changes. It is a very personal account and I enjoyed it very much. However, though I have a fairly extensive vocabulary, I was grateful to be reading this on my Kindle as I was often in need of the definition for a word.

Lawrence (Larry) Durrell was Public Relations Officer for the British Government on the island colony of Cyprus. As a reporter I knew him well. In Bitter Lemons Larry narrates his personal observations of a way of life rapidly disappearing, the Colonial Empire. Colorful cottages, crusader castles, Byzantine abbeys, picnics with ouzo and commanderia under the olive trees, and the characters -- British, Greek and Turkish Cypriots with their sometimes lovable, sometimes negative peculiarities, but very human idiosyncracies. Larry records a wonderful tapestry of human life in a colony that died in August 1960. Bitter Lemons: A work of literary art by a craftsman in love with Aphrodite's isle.

This is a great book by a giant of literature. A very different book from his others, describing several years he spent in Cyprus at the start of its independence movement. It also shows clearly the amateurism of the British Empire as it wound down. Far from being a well oiled machine, it was quite disorganized and lacking coherent direction. It is also a sympathetic portrait of Cypriots and given the recent economic woes, a useful background. I first read this some years ago, but rereading it gave me new insights into a country I have visited frequently. All of this is in his very stylish and gentle prose.

Review

In Flora and Ulysses, longtime fans will find a happy marriage of Mercy Watson's warmth and wackiness and Edward Tulane's gentle life lessons. In Flora, they will find a girl worth knowing, and one they will remember.—The New York Times Book ReviewNewbery-winner DiCamillo is a master storyteller not just because she creates characters who dance off the pages and plots, whether epic or small, that never fail to engage and delight readers. Her biggest strength is exposing the truths that open and heal the human heart. She believes in possibilities and forgiveness and teaches her audience that the salt of life can be cut with the right measure of love.—Booklist (starred review)Original, touching and oh-so-funny tale starring an endearingly implausible superhero and a not-so-cynical girl.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Despite supremely quirky characters and dialogue worthy of an SAT prep class, there’s real emotion at the heart of this story involving two kids who have been failed by the most important people in their lives: their parents.—Publishers Weekly (starred review)Rife with marvelously rich vocabulary reminiscent of the early superhero era (e.g., “Holy unanticipated occurrences!”) and amusing glimpses at the world from the point of view of Ulysses the supersquirrel, this book will appeal to a broad audience of sophisticated readers. There are plenty of action sequences, but the novel primarily dwells in the realm of sensitive, hopeful, and quietly philosophical literature.—School Library Journal (starred review)

I’m a third grader at an elementary school in Wisconsin, and this is what I think about the book, Flora and Ulysses. The main character in the book, Flora, is a 10 year old natural born cynic. Well that’s what she likes to call herself. Her mother thinks she’s weird because she has a superhero rodent named Ulysses as her best friend. This book is also illustrated with comic strips that are great for allowing the reader to visualize the story. It will always have a kick of humor but stays true to the author’s style with a sweet, heartwarming ending. If you or your child loves a book where the genre is fantasy and always will be based on animals with human like characteristics, then Kate Dicamillo is your author, and this is a great book for you.

Holy unanticipated occurrences! Last week I was distracted from a good book (Peter and the Starcatchers) by a better book. Okay, it wasn't unanticipated because it happens to me quite often, but that is Flora Buckman's favorite line from her favorite comic, which guides her when she discovers a squirrel with super powers. Yes, you read that right. A squirrel with super powers. Bet you didn't anticipate that, did you!In Flora and Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures there are many unanticipated occurrences and it all begins with a vacuum cleaner, a squirrel and a natural born cynic named Flora. There is a wacky cast of characters including a self absorbed romance writer, an air head neighbor, an emotionally traumatized great-nephew next door and a sad, sad father. They all tip toe right up to the line of being too wacky but only cross the line a little and in such silly ways I loved them for it. In fact, I won't even try to give you a plot synopsis because honestly, it's a simple and predictable plot but a joy to read and discover on your own.Kate DiCamillo books are always wonderful read alouds, but this one is just BEGGING for a dramatic reading. I gave it to my brilliant eight year old for Christmas and we've had a terrific time either reading alone or together. This is a great book for sitting close on the sofa so you can both see the pictures but leave plenty of room for dramatic gestures which you'll probably find necessary as you read. The illuminations (illustrations) are basic yet expressive and they really enhance the humor. Honestly, it's hard to capture the funny wonderfulness of Flora and Ulysses in a review. You have to read it for yourself. :)

It all begins when Mrs. Tickman's husband buys her a Ulysses Super-Suction, Multi-Terrain 2000X vacuum cleaner and vacuums up a squirrell. Flora Bell, a young neighbor sees what happens. She rushes over and revives the squirrell. She takes him home and names him Ulysses. Soon Ulysses begins to develop extraordinary powers. He communicates with Flora by head nods and typing letters. Flora really needs a friend because her mother and father are divorced. Flora and her mother can't seem to get along. From this hilarious beginning evolves a story that will leave you laughing out loud as Flora and Ulysses get into one scrape after another. They make many friends who like them have unmet needs. The story becomes the adventure of how Flora and Ulysses interaction with people has a chain effect that will try the patience of some and bring great change and understanding to all the lives they touch.

Imaginative story about a girl, her squirrel, her divorced parents, William Shiver, and a couple of other endearing characters. The story subtly delves into Flora's feelings of self-doubt. She's not sure if her mother really loves her. We also are introduced to William Shiver, who has his own issues of abandonment. I love how Flora fills a hole in William Shiver's heart with her kindness. If this book had been written when I was a youth, it would have ended with everyone getting back together; happily ever after and so on. This book doesn't wind everything up so neatly, but still it ends with promise. I can see why it won the Newberry award. I heard the author's acceptance speech and was so impressed with her. Excellent book--written for youth but with depth enough for all ages.

This was one of 5 chapter book read-alouds that I did with my third-grade class over the past school year and they ranked it their favorite. The colorful characters, BIG fun words, superb comic book style illustrations, and pure heart of this story cause it to stand out. Children of all ages and from many walks of life will relate to this book and the heart of Flora, along with her pet squirrel, Ulysses.

Initially, I downloaded this book because it is the 2014 winner of the Newberry Award. I LOVED this book because it is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read. Hey, I know it's a children's book -- so? The story is resplendent with twists and turns that will touch anyone, whatever the age. The words light up the pages!The writing is difficult to describe -- clever,touching and laugh-out-loud funny -- and other adjectives yet to be invented. The story is about a tiny squirrel that is suddenly transformed into a superhero with unimaginable superpowers -- the greatest being his uncanny ability to love others. Children's books have many themes but Kate DiCamilo's tale is not vague about the importance of thinking of others first, and loving them.If I was fortunate enough to have a grandchild, I would read this wondrous book over and over to him/her. In the meantime,I'll give this special book to everyone I know, regardless of age.Joyce Norman, Author
