Beat the Keeper

This book has it all witches, vampires, water sprites, werewolf's, slayers, and more. I am not going to tell you anymore about this book as I don't want to spoil it for you. However- I will say this it is a must read for all!!! Feb 08, Samantha Woods rated it it was amazing. May 29, Wendy rated it it was amazing. LOVED it and already bought the rest in the series that's out!

Loved the spin of the 'Keeper' in this book along with the usual Vamps and Were's and 'Others'. It kept me turning the pages to see what Lizzy was getting into next and what Michael and Vincent would do to catch her attention and what they would do to keep her safe. This was a well written, thought out book. I really liked Vincent and his blunt sarcastic comments, he made me LOL alot. I didn't know who to root for, him or Michael, and still don't!! As soon as I finished reading this book I was already looking for the next in the series and then purchased them all so I can continue the Saga.

There are a couple spots that you really feel a YA vibe from, cause LIzzy is only 19 and she acts it, BUT you won't be disappointed with this read. Nov 28, Valerie rated it really liked it.

Other books in the series. The Keeper 6 books. Murakami achieves this in two ways: Here is Aomame, in a moment of downtime: Not that the ceiling had anything of interest about it. But she couldn't complain. Ceilings weren't put on rooms to amuse people. Cultural touchstones help to anchor people in Murakami's shifting realities.

Murakami ran a jazz bar before becoming a writer, and music — jazz, classical, or very occasionally pop — always leaks into his prose. But the special importance of music in this novel is a key to its major theme, which is time: In this respect the novel's explicit and usually creaking references to Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four the cult as totalitarian state, "making mindless robots"; the cult leader — or God himself — as "Big Brother" are something of a red herring; Murakami's deep concerns here are more Proustian , which he signals when he has Aomame, holed up in hiding, read or try to In Search of Lost Time.

Such a life […] would be sheer torture. The characters fantasise about forgetting time altogether, but such grace is afforded here only to the ghosts of metaphor: Writing in the New York Times last year, Murakami called himself "a teller of stories […] a hopefully humble pilot of the mind and spirit".

His diagnosis of cults, in both Underground and 1Q84 , is that they are dangerously effective feeders of people's need for stories. As Sakigake's leader, the Kurtz figure at this novel's crepuscular heart, says: What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. Do Murakami's stories themselves make people feel as if their lives have some meaning?

Some critics are unsure what to make of him, the prejudice being that a writer who is so popular, particularly among young people, cannot really be that good, even if he is now quoted at short odds each year to win the Nobel prize for literature. But Murakami's success speaks to a hunger for what he is doing that is unusual.

Most characters in the modern commercial genre called "literary fiction" take for granted a certain unexamined metaphysics and worry exclusively about the higher-level complexities of circumstance and relationships. Throughout Murakami's oeuvre, on the other hand, his characters never cease to express their bafflement about the nature of time, or change, or consciousness, or moral choice, or the simple fact of finding themselves alive, in this world or another. In this sense, Murakami's heroes and heroines are all philosophers. It is natural, then, that his work should enchant younger readers, to whom the problems of being are still fresh, as well as others who never grew out of such puzzlements — that his books should seem an outstretched hand of sympathy to anyone who feels that they too have been tossed, without their permission, into a labyrinth.

Yes, this is a Haruki Murakami novel, where magical and dreamlike phenomena are deadpanned into existence with the same calm craft that his characters routinely employ in cooking themselves delicious-sounding Japanese meals: Topics Books Book of the week.
