5.0 out of 5 stars
...And ne'er the twain shall meet.,
By "bhenrudha" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O Greenest Branch! (Book I of Water!) (Mass Market Paperback)
That's how I usually end up describing how I believe people will feel about Baudino's "Water!" trilogy. Either you love it, or you hate it...and ne'er...well, you get it.So why did I love it? Mostly it was the challenge. There's *so* much going on in these books that sometimes I just had to sit passive and let the stream of her words carry me on. Other times I was an active participant in the adventure able to use the very simple formula needed for the exact length of swinging rope (this never failed to make me chuckle). I loved Sari and the entire discourse of religions...for the Naians weren't perfect, though I really wanted them to be. I think in the end the reason I loved these books is because they were so *interesting*...something to see and think about on nearly every page. For those that enjoy a good, active read where the author challenges you in many ways, I would certainly recomend this and the rest of the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting experiment,
By Annette Hrisko-Allen (pdx,usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O Greenest Branch! (Book I of Water!) (Mass Market Paperback)
Since I liked Baudino's other books (especially "Gossamer Axe"), I was really looking forward to a new story.Wellll... This book seems to be more of a literary experiment in multiple styles than an endeavor to tell a straightforward story. On the plus side, Baudino delivers several good pokes at organized religion (including paganism). No one has the corner on Truth or God/dess, and I came away thinking that this was a pretty brave attempt at something new. On the minus side, Baudino seems to get way too carried away with switching narrative styles and perspectives that its easy to get lost and ask, "Uh, what just happened?" repeatedly. Interesting, but a little too convoluted.

2.0 out of 5 stars
not up to Ms. Baudino's usual standards,
By A Customer
This review is from: O Greenest Branch! (Book I of Water!) (Mass Market Paperback)
The _Water_ series is the worst series that I
have read by Ms. Baudino. I was very disappointed
in the series--the constant interruptions by
the "author" were extremely distracting. The
series had a good plot, but I would not buy it
again.
