Find Best Price at Amazon"Lawrence is a traveling merchant that is very trusted throughout the land, even though that land is very heavily controlled by the church, who will do anything to make sure the gods from the past are no longer worshiped. She can shift between forms, even though it's not the most convenient of ways, but in human form she is still left with cute little wolf ears and a tail. This will not be the last time we see these two companies or the church, I'm sure. I think fantasy lovers would really enjoy this, and it would be a nice place to start if you want to get into light-novels and manga."
"Fans of the anime will love reading the original story and will gain a greater understanding of Lawrence & Holo. Paul Starr is doing an AMAZING job, this is by far one of the best translated light novels I have read to date, it perfectly captures the tone of the series."
"However, I try to review any book I read on my Kindle."
"For better or worse, I watched quite a few episodes of the anime before reading the light novel, a fact I now blame for my slow reading seeing as I already knew (and still know) what was going to happen. Still, while the anime remains relatively faithful to the light novel (a character is swapped for another), the latter is far more accomplished in portraying the relationship between Holo and Lawrence."

"This Kindle edition includes a small Bible dictionary on biblical themes, too; although, it is not a long or complete as the one in my print Bible. There appear not to be many cross references, except that the usual scheme in the 1984 print editions is that the couple of references given are to lead you to other references that lead you to still more references. Navigation is different from the usual list of books with a list of hot-linked chapters at the opening page for each book. When I had finished all of the books of the Bible and the Apocrypha, I made a MS Word document with all of this information and mailed it to my Kindle e-mail address for loading onto my Kindle. The opening page of each book does not give chapters, but theme headings.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Und was hat das ganze mit einer kleinen Maus, einem Schmetterling und einem Drachen zu tun? Man fiebert mit mit Trip, weint mit Leo und drückt Merlo die Daumen (ach ja, ein paar Taschentücher könnten nicht schaden beim Lesen). Ich selbst habe mich in einigen Teilen (ich sage nicht, in welchen) wiedergefunden und, so wie schon der erste Band "Gefühlsbaustelle" mit Joél und Konstantin läßt einem das Ende nicht einfach ruhen. Ich habe das Buch nicht einfach zugeschlagen (ja ok, kindle zugeklappt) und beiseite gelegt. Wie bei vielen Büchern von Nathan erspart es vielleicht manche Frage an einen Psychotherapeuten, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt, nicht nur von der schönen Liebesgeschichte zu schmunzeln sondern auch die etwas düstere Stimmung zuzulassen. Ich bin sicher, dass mir (wie schön öfters bei Nathan) bei einem erneuten Lesen eine andere Sichtweise mehr ins Auge springt. War es jetzt beim ersten Mal bei diesem Buch mehr das Düstere, aus der Vergangenheit kommende, so wird es wohl in ein paar Tagen beim 2. Lesen mehr die Liebesbeziehung sein, die in den Vordergrund des Lesens rückt. Ich kann nur sagen, Nathan hat sich zu einem meiner Lieblingsautoren entwickelt, deren Bücher definitiv nicht in die Schublade "Trivial-gay-Literatur" einzuordnen sind. Wer will, kann die Themen locker leicht lesen oder, wer nicht nur leichte Kost will, "schaltet" sein Hirn ein und liest zwischen den Zeilen und nimmt vielleicht auch etwas für sich und seinen eigenen Alltag mit. In uns allen steckt irgendwo ein Drachenmausschmetterling (um DAS zu verstehen, sollte beim Lesen doch mitgedacht werden... *rofl*). Danke Nathan für ein wunderbares Buch!"
