Book Description
The most praised thriller writer to burst onto the scene in years returns with a brilliant new story of suicide, murder, violence, and greed. Responding to a late night-call, Paddy Meehan arrives at an elegant villa, where a calm blonde with blood running from her mouth answers the door. She has already convinced the police to leave and soon Paddy realizes how--she slips 50 bucks into Paddy's hands and begs her to keep the incident, whatever it is, out of the press. The next morning Paddy sees the lead news story: The blonde woman has been murdered, and far from the spoiled trophy wife Paddy assumed her to be, the victim turns out to be a prosecution lawyer with a social conscience. Bewildered why the woman didn't take the chance to leave the house when she could, Paddy begins to make connections no one else has seen. When she witnesses the body of a suicide victim being pulled from the river shortly afterward, Paddy suspects links between the two deaths and follows her idea to its shocking--and deadly--conclusion.

Bridget Jones in a bad dream.......2007-08-14
Another caveat to readers, and after reading my other reviews you will realize I only review a book when I feel cheated and mislead by other reviewers' ratings. Amazon provides two book reviews to tell you the plot and other individual reviewers repeat it again, so no need for that.
Dark, depressing, quirky, but stereotypical! Yes, this book speaks to all the themes of books about poverty-stricken Catholics. Paddy Meehan is like Bridget Jones, a chubby, chain-smoking, young woman suffering from low self-esteem, seeking comfort in food and sex. She is a misfit with a good heart, torn between the brutual necessity of her life (sole supporter of her large, dysfunctional family) and a desire for her life to mean more.
Now insert this "heroine" into a murder mystery and you have ....questions. Like another book I recently reviewed, (In the Woods), the narrative stops and starts, switches stories, and in the end does not deliver an ending. I am not talking about the cheap personal cliffhanger thrown in at the end of the book, designed to hook readers into buying the next Paddy Meehan adventure. I am speaking of the traditional plot summary, where the reader finds out what really happened. Did the bad guys get away with it...who is a good guy and who is not...How was Paddy's story received...What happened to Bernie? Did Katie live? What happend to Billy, Sean or Dug? It is hard to ask the right questions without giving the story away. Leaving loose ends to be developed in the next book is fair play, but so many? Then what was this book about? A writer cannot hold so much back that there isn't anything to come away with from a book. The result...who cares? The reader is left with the notion that the author can't be relied upon to deliver...so why try again?
I agree with the reviewer who said that the book is dark, dreary and unpleasant to read. The narrative does not flow, which actually fits the mood of the book. But the disjointedness is not the only problem. In addition to needing a good editor for wordy descriptions and grammatical errors, Ms. Mina needs to tighten her plot and draw her characters more completely if she wants to make readers care. At the end of the book Paddy muses,"This was the respect of her peers. She ran her tongue over her teeth. It tasted metallic, like faintly sour milk."
This is the taste the price of the book leaves in my mouth.
Depressing and boring.......2006-12-14
I can't believe I read the same book as some of the other reviewers. This book was incredibly boring and depressing: Boring because there are two parallel narratives, so that the reader knows from almost the very beginning (Kate's first chapter, in which her relationship to the victim and the reason for her murder is made clear)what is going on and depressing because the book is set in 1984 Scotland, where almost everyone has lost their job, and Paddy's life as the sole wage earner for her entire family (including the obligatory abused sister) is depressing and full of cheapness and meaness.
I (generously) gave it a star because, for me at least, it sounds authenic and somewhat exotic. Too bad the strong sense of time and place was entirely wasted.
A Very Intriguing Story with Interesting Characters That Are Real.......2006-11-04
Paddy Meehan worked the night shift at the Scottish Daily News. She hoped to someday get a break in her career and move up, but for now it was night rides around town to find a story. She came across one that would change her life.
The police radio in the car Paddy rode in, driven by Billy...a friend of sorts, brought her to a large house where a domestic fight was happening. As Paddy inquired about what was happening, the man at the door told her and the officer that it wouldn't happen again.
Paddy saw the beautiful woman through the open door in the mirror. She had blood on her face. Paddy asked if she needed help. The woman shook her head and backed away.
The man told her everything was fine and put money in her hand and said to keep the story out of the paper and shut the door. Paddy didn't want to take a bribe but didn't know what to do with the money. Her family was struggling financially for her father and brothers were out of work. Paddy was the breadwinner.
Many changes were happening at the Scottish Daily News for it was also struggling making money. Coworkers would change immediately, as well as her boss. Was she next? Would they find out about the money?
The next day, Paddy found out that the woman from the big house was murdered. Why didn't she ask for help? She could have walked away. This story was one that burned inside Paddy and she was going to find out who did this and why....even if her life depended on it.
Some of the terminology used in the book makes the reader pause for understanding but the details of the scenery and action are vivid. Paddy is a very lovable and unique character.
Compelling criminal fiction through the eyes of the reporter.......2006-10-25
I picked this novel up as a page turner but quickly became caught up in the life and times of Paddy Meehan as she tried to make sense of a late night disturbance complaint. The disturbance quickly turns into a case of murder, and Paddy is one of the last to have seen the victim alive.
This novel combines with fast action and investigative skills with social commentary (if you are interested). The novel is well written, and the end of the novel has me waiting for the next installment, as surely Paddy's story must continue.
In the meantime, I need to seek out the first novel.
Highly recommended.

Sort of Engaging.......2006-10-08
Wee Paddy Meehan is a chubby young woman trying to become an ace reporter for her Glasgow newspaper. Because she's young (and a woman), she has to take the crummy night shift, following police scanner messages to see if there's a story in every reported break-in or domestic dispute. One very cold night, however, she is called to the scene of more than just upscale domestic violence, but she doesn't realize it at first.
That dark night, a beautiful blonde attorney was tortured and killed--and it turns out Paddy was the last person, except for her killer(s), to see her alive. The police seem to be ignoring some crucial information, and Paddy slowly gets the big picture as to who killed the woman and why. Naturally, the bad guys need to get Paddy. If she's "eliminated", then no one will talk about the crime. Paddy eventually gets things sorted out, has a brief romance, and earns the fleeting respect of her paper's new editor.
I have a hard time liking Paddy much. There are so many descriptions of uncleanliness in all the characters, especially her--Paddy having unnamed body fluids running down her leg; a gross grit on her mouth and gums after eating bonbons, stepping in mud all the time; her dirty threadbare coat getting kicked on the ground all the time. I've enjoyed Denise Mina, for the most part, but Paddy just doesn't seem to catch my interest much. I guess there's one more in the series, and maybe Paddy'll be retired for more stand-alone novels from Mina. This is not something that needs to be near the top of your reading list.

Not amazing but quite a fun read!.......2007-09-19
I have read some of Lackney's books over the years and decided to pick this one up as I have been in the mood for some dragon fantasy. I found it to be quite an enjoyable read and was barely able to put it down to get other things done. I like that there are a few characters that have some depth to them. Ari especially who one can genuinely read as being a good man who is caught in a time of unreast when horrible things are being done. He is able to look past what is happening right now and see a larger picture, and in this way is able to become a mentor to Vetch who should be considered his enemy. Vetch's character is sweet and believeable for a boy who is "ten or eleven" as he says.
I also like all the descriptions about dragons. The book goes into the care and training of the dragons and also some about the wild dragons. The relationship that Ari and Vetch have with the dragon Kashet is very sweet and I especially like the part of Vetch with his dragon. I won't give the end of the book away except to say that it was very touching and that I can't wait to read the next book. While this book may not be amazing writing I found it a very enjoyable read!
Dazzling Dragons.......2007-01-30
Great, Great Story! I couldn't read it fast enough.
This story is set in the Tian camp of the Jousters. It's a civilized Medieval Society that is highly superstitious and pays tribute to numerous Deities. Tian and Altan gods are compatible; in some cases they differ only slightly in name; but they don't necessarily have the same hierarchy.
We meet Vetch as he toils to bring water to the tala plants which are used to make the dragons docile. Ari appears and whisks Vetch away from a worse-then-squalid life to become his dragon boy. The story is told from Vetch's point of view, a young boy in the midst of his countryman's enemies. We see how Vetch makes due with his lot in life. We discover the vision he has of his own future and we see firsthand what he is willing to do to make it become a reality.
Vetch comes to love the dragons and learns every scrap of information he can from Ari. He is a loner, more as a circumstance of his societal label - serf - rather than anything to do with his personality. He keeps to himself, does his chores, serves his jouster and dragon without fault and hatches a plan to escape.
While the story revolves around Vetch the author does enough character development of Ari that we understand him. He is a warrior (whose background we know very little) who has a personal integrity that makes him feel outrage, shame and guilt for what the Tians do in war to the Altans. He's torn between the side he serves and the methods they employ. The story completely captured me. I felt my heart race when Vetch's did, and I outright cried when (well, you'll have to read the book to discover that.)
The only negative I found was the editing and the miserable run-on sentences. Both really detracted from my reading rhythm. I'd have to stop, back up and try to figure out exactly what was being said. At least once I gave up and just skipped the sentence altogether. The editing was atrocious. I'm truly embarrassed for whoever had that responsibility. There were at least half a dozen examples which I won't quote here.
The writing is realistic and I was amazed how the words painted such graphic scenes. For example when Ari takes Vetch from Khefti-the-Fat we feel the ride, the beat of the dragon wings as he achieves altitude. Other examples include Vetch's first feeding of Kashet as well as the mating between Coresan and Seftu (although on this account I've read similar well written scenes.)
Tilly Award: Best Dragon Story, we really get an insight into the Dragon as an animal.
Tilly Rewrite: The cover shows Vetch in jousting garb with jousting weapons, which has yet to happen in Joust. I would have had the cover portray him as the Dragon Boy that he was and maybe add Ari. I would love to see a Joust prequel that tells us Ari's story.
Not Bad, But..........2006-07-05
Well the good news is that this book isn't a piece of trash like Arrows of The Queen. Lackey borrows heavily from Jane Yousts Dragonblood with the desert and the fighting dragons. And, in the usual Lackey style she also borrows from Anne McCaffrey... only this time she kept out the mind-meld between dragon and human.
The story starts with the opening we've come to expect from this author. A boy is abused, and is rescued to come into his own. The first few dozen pages really, really annoyed me because my GOD the author couldn't stop explaining how badly the main character was abused. I _know_ he is a surf, and I _know_ that he is less than a slave. It got explained about ten times in more boring and stupid detail.
The only other part that annoyed me was that the main character's mentor was unexpectly helpful to the point of disbelief.
Then, luckily, the book turned for the better. Yes, there wasn't very much action involved but seeing as the main character was less than important I didn't expect him to be involved in any battles. In fact, after the rough start the book became -- dare I say it -- good! I found myself very interested in his days and chores. Lackey managed to keep the day to day stuff interesting and it honestly didn't lag for me. I grew attached to the character and was amused greatly by the breed of dragons she brought into this world.
I do look forward to the second part of this series and I'm glad that Lackey found her feet among something original. By the end of the book it seemed she had made her own world with her own ideas with no more borrowing.
Joust is awesome.......2006-06-27
Mercedes Lackey writes in such a way that you can picture yourself in the story's setting. The descriptions are vivid and the story itself is riveting. If you read Joust, you'll want to read Alta and Sanctuary also to get the full story of the Tians and the Altans. An excellent read for teens and adults alike!
Dragons.......2006-04-19
This is a very intricate novel of the struggles of a once-serf boy wokingin the heat hauling water, who is then picked up by the famous ridder Ari, and his dragon, Kacheet. A wild dragonride later, and he is in the Tian, or enemy, jouster compound to serve Ari as a dragonboy to the first tame dragon ever. The story has many thrilling moments, and i must say that i was averse to putting it donwn once finished, but it also has a sensible balance of Vetch's everyday life that when read in detail can give a deep insight to his world. this was the frist book by Mercedes Lackey that I had read, but I have been convinced since then by other books that she is a great author and will be looking for more of her novels.
Book Description
There are three things that people will die for — their faith, their freedom, and their family. This volume studies all three, and the interactions among them in the Western tradition and today. Retrieving and reconstructing a wealth of material from the earliest Hebrew and Greek texts of the West to the latest machinations of the Supreme Court, John Witte explores the legal and theological foundations of authority and liberty, equality and dignity, rights and duties, marriage and family, crime and punishment, and similar topics. This volume is a lucid scholarly introduction to the burgeoning field of law and religion and a learned historical inquiry into the weightier matters of the law.
Scholars of law, theology, history, ethics, marriage, politics, American studies, and human rights will find this volume an invaluable classroom text, commuter companion, and armchair paperback.

Jousting At Center Stage.......2007-09-28
The Prince Valiant stories are set during the reign of King Arthur. This time period corresponds with the end of Roman rule in Britain and the beginning of the Dark Ages. The first part of the book is about the jousting circuit that takes place after the Fall crops are harvested. The last stories deal with the jousting season that begins in the Spring and whose purpose is to prepare King Arthur's knights for their Summer campaign against the Saxons. It is interesting to see Hal Foster's take on jousting. Most of the details appear to be out of the high Middle Ages but they nevertheless fit in well in these stories that are set in the Dark Ages. As usual, the plot lines and illustrations are of the highest quality.
Book Description
Steven Muhlberger breaks new ground with a new book on Medieval tournaments in the 14th century by translating and analyzing the writings of a knight who knew his way around the tournament field.
Sir Geoffroi de Charny, the famous 14th century knight who rose thruogh his prowess to become one of the most highly regarded chivalric men of his age also brought the Shroud of Turin to Europe and perished carrying the famous Oriflamme at the Battle of Poitiers in 1356. His "Questions" on the Joust, Tournaments and War--translated here for the first time into English- and accompanied with a penetrating analysis, promises to become a critical resource for students of medieval chivalry and tournametns of the later Middle Ages.

Fantastic if this is what your after........2004-02-17
I must say that I LOVE this book, but that's because I'm very much in to chivalric culture (especially of the 14thC!) I don't know how wide an appeal such a specific book has, but for those who have some background understanding of this topic and still can't get enough; your in for a treat...
Book Description
`Will appeal to a wide audience. It is beautifully presented...the illustrations add further glory to a thorough historical analysis which is based on extensive research in Europe-wide sources... particularly useful in bringing to our attention lesser-known materials from the Iberian peninsula. The level of discussion, range and thoroughness of treatment and excellence of annotation make this a useful reference work for the academic historian too: it is hard to find any aspect of tournaments that is not covered.' HISTORYThe first serious study of tournaments throughout Europe reveals theirimportance - in the training of the medieval knight, the development ofarms and armour, as an instrument of political patronage, and as a grandpublic spectacle.

Medieval Fighting for Fun!.......2005-09-08
In Tournaments, Richard Barber and Juliet Barker set out to trace the development of tournaments from the early melees to the later elaborate spectacles. Barber and Barker believe that tournaments were an important part of medieval society as well as a form of training for knights. They also believe that while tournaments certainly had a strong influence on romantic literature, the tournaments were themselves influenced by romantic literature.
To support their arguments, the authors rely heavily on chronicles written during the medieval period. The authors place the emergence of tournaments as a distinct game at the end of the eleventh century in France. They also link it to the development of the use of a couched lance.(14) One important distinction made by the authors is the difference between the technical tournament, which was the melee and the hastilude, which was from the Latin meaning a game fought with spears. While the term "Tournament" has become a word meaning virtually any sport involving knights, and brings up visions of knight jousting, this was not the terminology of the medieval knight. According to the authors, around 1170, new romances began to replace such works as Chansons de gests. Such new romances began to place importance on courtly love and heroism. "Thus a kind of symbiosis developed between tournaments and courtly literature, each feeding on the other and thereby encouraging their mutual development."(21)
The authors examine the tournament as it manifested in several different countries. England and France for example differed greatly by the end of the twelfth century, with France prohibiting and England licensing tournaments. However, in 1316 Pope John XXII lifted bans on tournaments, which paved the way for legal tournaments in France. The authors also examine the circumstances under which a tournament might occur. Many were indeed held as sporting events; however, several were planned as an excuse to establish a revolt or to settle a personal grievance. Other tournaments occurred as part of a battle during a siege, where attackers and defenders challenged each other to combat, either personal or in groups.
The authors place the beginning of the German tournament around the mid-twelfth century. From Germany the authors provide an excellent example of romantic literature influencing tournaments when a German knight, Waltmann von Stenstete sought challenges from knights with his female companion as a part of the prize for his defeat. There is also Ulrich von Liechtenstein who pursues jousts, but whose narrative the authors claim is full of literary devices making it difficult to tell where fact and fancy begin and end. According to the authors, by the fourteenth century, Germany also had two different types of tournaments. There were regular events, often organized locally, and there were tournaments for special aristocratic or imperial occasions. (37) It was in Germany that societies dedicated to tournaments were established.
One development of the tournament described by the authors as significant was the pass d'armes, where a group or individual would defend an area against challengers. The authors also pay attention to the development of the tournament in grandeur. By the mid-fifteenth century, tournaments were often accompanied by great theater. More attention began to be paid the setting of the tournament, and was often constructed to meet the theme of the tournament.
The book is organized chronologically within chapters that are topical. The chapters cover the development of the tournament geographically, but also as a spectacle and special event as well as an examination of the dangers inherent in the tournament. The text is easily readable and accompanied by a variety of pictures from the medieval period, which help to give the reader a true sense of the situations described.

Excellent.......2004-01-19
Easily the best general book on Tournaments available. Some people might have wanted to more detail in certain areas buut when you concider what the authors are trying to achieve I feel they found an excellent balance.
Everything you wanted to know about tournaments..........2002-12-31
While books about tournaments usually just describe what tournaments generally were like .., this book takes a look at the actual historical events themselves. It describes many historical tournaments, famous participants, the backgrounds and the changing nature of the events from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance etc. In fact, the book tries to cover almost everything related to tournaments (from public disorder in tournaments to the time of day). Even so, the book holds together well and is easy to read. It is illustrated with fine historical paintings and drawings from books of the time with only a couple of photos (no modern or dismal 19-Century historical sketches).
As a 'better-than-most' book, it's only weakness is that with a mere 200+ pages it can only give a quick synthesis about the various topics it examines. For instance, the well written chapter on tournament armour could have been a bit longer (only 12 pages).
In all, the best book about tournaments so far. But still hoping for even a better book...

Book Description
I became aware of a fierce, stabbing pain in my shoulder where Hengist's lance had struck. I'd felt the blow of a blunted tournament lance many times before -- a dull, bruising ache. But this was different. I put my hand to my shoulder and was shocked to feel the end of a shattered lance shaft.
A red mist descended. I was gripped by a murderous rage. I jumped to my feet, and as I drew my sword, the crowd gave a thunderous roar.
