Niko Sitorus kumpulanba95b2 — I loved the view of homestead life and the challenges they faced.

Zilynn Zhang 546718980cfb3 — This book interested me because it claims to be a "retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story" where "the princess is the beast." But this story had SO little in common with the B&B story that it wasn't really justified being called a retelling. In fact, if I hadn't read that about it, it probably wouldn't have reminded me of B&B at all. And although it's categorized as a "romance," the romantic element took backseat to a lot of unimpressive subplots that didn't tie together well at all. The main plot was about the persecution of people who had "animal magic" in the kingdom. The main character George, a prince on the verge of becoming king, has the animal magic but has to stay closeted out of fear. So the main tension revolves around George having to come out about his abilities. This story is about 200 pages longer than it needed to be, since all the conflicts were resolved way too easily in the end. And despite being 400 + pages, I spent a lot of time wondering what any of the settings actually looked like, since the description and place markers were vague. I think this had the potential to be a very moving and haunting story, if it would have gone through at least two more drafts.

비 화 beeflower — Subjective as memory is, when we begin to lose vast chunks of it, we become unreliable as narrators of our own lives, and even those memories that are etched on our brains become suspect. Harvey's narrator, Jake Jameson, a retired architect, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. The book meanders, as his mind does, back and forth through the years and experiences of his life, exploring how we create and recreate ourselves over time, and how when memory starts to go, others are free to challenge what we know of ourselves based on the places where their own memories intersect with our lives. One of several things that Jake keeps coming back to is his mother's recreation of herself as non-Jewish: an Austrian who left for England before the war, and whose entire family perished in the holocaust, she is irritated by Jake's concern for Israel after the war, and does everything she can to convince him not to go out on a limb, not to identify as a Jew. The wilderness of the title both refers to the English moors, where Jake, as a young married man takes his wife, with the idea of conquering them architecturally, but even more so to the wilderness in his mind as he tries to grasp truths, even non-literal ones, from the memories that flash by. This is a contemplative, interior read. There is not a lot of action, and what action there is remains questionable in its veracity, but it is a fascinating look at the role of memory in our lives.

You Me andraz3130440 — The translator is a UT professor, who is a pretty big deal in the Germanic studies. Nathan recommended this book, I read it on a lark, and have been forever haunted by the imaginative narrative, the bold and whimsical plot lines. My favorite story if about the guy who sees the same people everyone, on the bus, in the streets, but he doesn't know them. He's not paranoid, they are the same people he can't shake. It's so funny and odd to think of having your own set of familiar strangers.

Ryan Dougherty ryandougherty — Wonderful! Very entertaining, a laugh a minute with a few tears! Love that it is a non-fiction book, that makes it easy to relate to. Makes me NOT want a dog anytime soon! :) Still haven't seen the movie, but the book was great!
