Exile (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 4)

Aaron Allston

Del Rey, 2007

Excellent Read and follow up to Tempest
I just finished EXILE and it was GREAT... The interaction between the characters was the same as in the movies. The way it moved to the climax of the book, was at times slow and others to fast, but it was a good read over all. I still do not like the references to ...

Fables Vol. 1: Legends in Exile

Bill Willingham

Vertigo, 2002

Best comic book series ever?
When it comes to comic book geeks we think something like Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol is a masterpiece but what are true masterpieces are titles that transcend the hobby to appeal to people other than aficionados of the hobby. A testament to the series is that ...

The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding

Robert Hughes

Vintage Books, 1988

A magnificent achievement
Robert Hughes has written a towering account of the years during which Britain transported convicts to Australia, thereby beginning the colonization of a continent that would one day hold a place among the world's free nations. Hughes's fascinating text covers the ...

Exiles: A Novel

Ron Hansen

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

finally a fiction book about gerard manley hopkins!
I just finished reading this very interesting book and encourage anyone who loves the works of Gerard Manley Hopkins, SJ to read it also. The author skillfully weaves the story of the five German sisters who died on the ship Deutschland with the story of the Jesuit ...

Exile (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 14)

Kathryn Lasky

Scholastic, 2008

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of action. I like these weird blue owls from the middle kingdom because it introduces weirdness. Also, I like the idea of The Striga (Blue owl from the middle kingdom; member of the dragon court who were formerly hagsfiends) somehow being completely opposite to ...

Last Evenings on Earth

Roberto Bolano

New Directions, 2007

a literary stud
nobody writes likes this guy. the prose is delicious, hypnotic. Bolano makes you glad you can read. check out his work, including the two presently translated novels (they're both incredible); savor the language; be thankful for Chris Andrews, his amazing translator.

Exile

Richard North Patterson

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

Fascinating and entertaining
As an avid fan of Patterson's novels, I think this may be his best effort. An action-packed page-turner with well-developed, likable characters, it also provides an interesting background on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that leads (or at least led me to) further ...

Jesus Wants to Save Christians: A Manifesto for the Church in Exile

Rob Bell, Don Golden

Zondervan, 2008

Blown away again!
Once again Rob Bell has rocked my world with his insights and wisdom. This book is challenging and controversial, but I feel it is a very necessary read for Christians in a nation with great power and responsibility in the world today. Bell faces the issue of ...

Intent vs. Consequences!
Ender is acknowledged as the victorious warrior against the notorious buggers threatening Earth in Orson Scott Card's momentous first novel, Ender's Game. Ender in Exile is the sequel to that first novel, revealing Ender's life-long quest to free himself of guilt in ...

The Dark Elf Trilogy, Collector's Edition (Homeland, Exile, Sojourn)

R. A. Salvatore

Wizards of the Coast, 2000

Emotional Turmoil
That's the best way I can describe this book. It's evil trying to be good, and the hardships and trials of the heart that befall Drizzt Do'urden in his path to belong somewhere where he's not feared, but can belong and be loved. I really liked this book. A lot of ...

Island of Exiles (Sugawara Akitada)

A Mystery involving Princes, Danger and Treason
This is another in a series set in 11th C. Japan (Heian era), featuring Sugawara Akitada. Sugawara, descendant of a once illustrious family that suffered after the exile of an ancestor, is currently acting governor of a distant province, Echigo (for an official, ...

Silent Exodus: Portraits of Iraqi Refugees in Exile

Khaled Hosseini

Aperture/UNHCR, 2008

Visually Powerful
I received this book today and sat down and read through it. Don't be mistaken, it is not long and it is almost completely pictures. "A picture is worth a thousand words." Never more true has it been than when I sat down with this book. My wife started to read this ...

Exile's Return (Conclave of Shadows, Book 3)

Raymond E. Feist

HarperTorch, 2006

Good ending, good start!
While the series lacks some of the depth of the original series set in Krondor, it carries Feist's distinctive writing flavor. It continues the series spanning saga, the never ending battle between good and evil, and revisits some of our favorite characters from the ...

Freedom in Exile: The Autobiography of The Dalai Lama

Lama Dalai

HarperOne, 1991

Hearbreaking
Knowing nothing at all about His Holiness The Dalai Lama or Tibet/China relations I was eager to learn more. As a convert from Catholicisim to Buddhism, I was pleased to read that the Dalai Lama considers himself to be just a regular human, who was chosen to fulfill ...

Michael Frost

Hendrickson Publishers, 2006

A rebirth of the Christian movement
I have been a Christian for over 50 years. But for many years I have felt like an outcast by the leadership of the Christian community. I got great comfort from reading this book and connecting with the fact that there are millions of people around the world who are ...
