Average Rating: 
Rating: - The original and my favourite
The best of the first three I have read. Gripped me somehow with an ending I wasn't expecting (and glad due not to be reading in public - the tears were rolling!). One of the few book love relationships that have made me cry!

Rating:  - Good but could have been better
I read "Brother Odd" (which I think is better) first, so going into this one I already knew what the result of the bodach-attracting event would be. Even so, it still emotionally affected me.
I think this is a good book but it has a lot of faults, too. It's unbelievable to me that Odd's mother could still be walking around free. The excuse is that she isolates herself to keep from feeling suicidal/homicidal, but I still don't buy it.
As others have mentioned, the action sometimes ... Read More
