A great mix of character-building and action. Bad-ass nuns and an opening sentence up there with The Gunslinger.

It didn't age well. The philosophy and language is really outdated for me.

I'm not familiar with the real life individuals of this story but I appreciate the author calling this a fictional story, level-setting how I interpret the characters' thoughts and feelings.

Very nice character building, the story moves along nicely, and there's a nice level of romance.

Good starting place for the story, lots of action and forward motion to the plot, characters you can get to know and love, and no sidetracking. All the things I love in a book.

A great collection of stories about individuals doing their part to support the beavers around the world, their projects, the sciences involved, and lots of facts about everything related.

The title is misleading because the plot jumps around to more peoples' stories than it does Margaret's. If the movie was based on this book, the movie does a better job of staying focused on the title's character.

Picks up immediately from where [book:Shards of Honor|531792] leaves off, and continues in a same style and quality as the first book, despite being published much later.

A good read!

Fascinating walk in the world of art crime by someone directly involved. Great information on how to acquire knowledge on art, not the illegal stuff and what types of art people are willing to acquire legally and illegally.
