Would I recommend it? Yes! After a few false starts I’ve decided that whatever I say will not do this book justice, and it will ruin the fun of reading it. So, I’m not saying anything, you just need to get it, in fact even if you don’t have any kids as an excuse you should go find it. It’ll be worth it, I promise.
P.S. If you have also read it back me up in the comments!!!
This is the sixteenth book in a series and I think there is some fun, familiar comfort in reading a book like that.
You know the characters – inept bounty hunters, police men, sexy capable men in black, bad guys and Grandma Mauzer.
You know the general theme of things- inept bounty hunters will mess up trying to get bad guys, sexy capable men in black will help bail them out, police will be involved, Grandma Mauzer will cause a scene in a funeral home, cars will get ruined, donuts and fried chicken will be consumed.
Then there are a few surprises – alligators, hobbits, lucky bottles.
Really how could you go wrong?
Would I recommend it? Yes, not the best of the 16 (My personal favorites are 10 & 12) but good!
P.S. These make the best adult read aloud books !
I read this book after Pat Rothfuss recommended it in his blog this was not the first book I have read after his recommendations and so far I have yet to be disappointed. This was not necessarily a book I loved while I was reading it, yet I couldn’t put it down. Spanning topics like, women’s roles, desert life, racism, war, female circumcision, religion and death it was a heavy read. Once I put it down I couldn’t stop thinking about it…including the nightmares it gave me.
Would I recommend it? Yes, nightmares and all it was unusual in a good way.
I am not into philosophical reading, therefore this was not a good book for me.
Would I recommend it? No, but it might taste good.
This is a fantasy book, hopefully that won’t put you off, they are my favorite genre so while this is the first that I’ve read since starting the blog there are bound to be more of them. Robin Hobb (who also writes books under the name Megan Lindholm neither of which are her real name!) is an awesome writer but let me try to explain what I loved best about this book.
This is the first book in the Tawny Man trilogy which is a trilogy that follows The Farseer trilogy. Sometimes when you start reading trilogy’s that follow trilogy’s (and for those of you who don’t read much fantasy that isn’t uncommon) by the time you hit the first book of the second trilogy you have a list of characters that goes halfway down your arm and you hardly get to hear about some of your old favorites. Or there are authors who just keep cranking out books and by the time you reach book 12 you have three thousand characters an entire world of intrigue, plotting, religions and wars that only really serious fans can possibly keep straight and then you up and die before the last two books are finished leaving it up to a different author to finish up for you. And if you think that is some crazy story I made up check our Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time books, The Eye of the World is the first, and a great book, just don’t say I didn’t warn you! On the other hand reading Fool’s Errand was more like sitting back down with old friends.
Would I recommend it? Yes, but first you really need to read Assassins Apprentice, and then Royal Assassin and then Assassin’s Quest, and I promise they are worth it! Also I’m sure her Liveship Traders trilogy factors into all this somewhere but they are still on my to read list.
The chronicles of this lady’s “adventures with a pack of hens, a peck of pigeons, cantankerous crows, fierce falcons, hip hop parrots, baby hummingbirds, and one murderously big living dinosaur” are full of facts and information, unfortunately they are also full of Sy Montgomery. Sy Montgomery is a bit too, for lack of a better term, woo woo for me. I’m glad that birds fill her heart with awe and wonder and make her spirit soar. But when I read things like “My whole soul feels like a yawning hole that only this bird can fill.” I throw up a bit in my mouth as I roll my eyes.
Would I recommend it? No Parts of it, particularly the parts about the cassowary, I found pretty interesting but I have very little tolerance for woo woo mixed in with fact. It made my head hurt from all the unintentional eye rolling and I wouldn’t want to subject anyone else to such pain.
I love this book. 
Ivy seems to like it but I don’t think she thinks its as funny as I think it is. Didja get that? This book is a series of notes between a boy and his mom about getting an iguana. Here are some of my favorite pages, you can click on the picture to make it bigger if you need to.
Would I recommend it? Yes, your kid might not think it’s as funny as you do, but parents need a good chuckle too!
It has been over a week since I read this book and I can’t think of anything in particular to say about it. 
Seems like a bad sign.
I remember thinking the writing was good.
She also Wrote Bel Canto maybe you should read that instead, I read that three years ago and I still remember parts of it!
Would I recommend it? Nope, can’t even remember it.
I’ve heard Garrison Keillor on the radio many times and enjoyed listening to him. I don’t think he’s the greatest things since sliced bread but good for a chuckle if you are stuck in the car. So I thought I’d try a book of his.
I don’t think I’ll try that again.
The rambling pointlessness of it was not enough to counter the wry humor and I kept hearing his voice reading it in my head, which would have been fine except that he talks really slowly, even in my head! By the time I made it to the grade finale at the end I was too irritated to really enjoy the scene that had been set up.
Would I recommend it? No. Sometimes the spoken word should stay the spoken word.
Sometimes I debate with myself if anyone else would like the books I read. Was it good? Was it bad? Was there enough good stuff to make it worth it? This time I didn’t have that problem.
I won’t even bore you with the details.
Would I recommend it? No
And what’s with the new trend in not capitalizing anything on the cover of books? I hate that.
