I love Tamera Pierce's books and Bloodhound is Great! I recommend this for both male and female teens and adult readers. All her books are wonderful adventures with a little bit of magic thrown in. Good Values. The slang and Dialect she uses in the story are great fun and very creative.

I loved this story. Usually I find female character stereotypical and boring, but Beka Cooper is a strong and fascinating female protagonist. In fact, all the characters in this story are very good. I loved Goodwin and Tunstall; they were great secondary characters that made up for Beka's quiet nature. The world is rich and vibrant, with enough dark to make it realistic.

I love Vonnegut, he's one of my favorite authors, but I had never read this book. I could NOT put it down. I don't have a lot of time to read, but I managed to finish this in 3 days. Definitely one of my new favorite books...

An amazing second book in the Mars trilogy. If you loved Red Mars you have to continue the story with Green Mars(2 of 4 readers found this comment helpful)
