Annisa Erintansari annisajosei — Hearing about this book, I would have expected it to be fairly pathetic (sorry, Sachar). But then I read a couple reviews that said it was actually quite good, so I decided to read it anyway. And then I read it and ended up thinking it was somewhere in between. Not amazing, but not the awful piece of shameless coasting-on-the-awesomeness-of-the-previous-book book that I originally expected. I think, really, the highlight of the book is something that Sachar does really well in most of his stuff: Telling readers, without being preachy, that they control their destinies. (view spoiler) The point he makes is that you can't let other people tell you what your choices are; you have to think for yourself. I especially like this because, of course, Stanley had very little control over a lot of the physical events in his life. But he did have control over how he looked at and dealt with them. Anyway, based solely on that element of the book and a couple other good "morals to the story" (again, without feeling annoyingly preachy), I would have rated it higher. But for me there wasn't enough other substance backing it up. On the other hand, it's so exceptionally short that it's probably worth the read anyway, if you liked Holes. Rating: G

Merima Sarajlic _erima_arajlc — Excellent and interesting read. It gives a great discourse on Descartes's philosophical view on reality, the role of God, and metaphysics. Overall, it's a crucial read for those interested in the foundation of modern philosophy.

Beatriz Couto beatrizsco569b — I found this book and the historical event that it is set around really well researched and told. It is a fact often forgetten that there were 60,000 or so prisoners of war in the UK from the Napoleonic Wars. The book deals with one of those prisoners, Ethan Ryder and his romance with Charlotte, a divorcee shunned by the supposedly high sticklers of society. The only reason this book doesn't get a 5 star rating is because the ending is a bit too Mills and Boony for me, a bit too over the top. But otherwise, the story and the writing are excellent. They are passionate, and yet, there is also restraint, wit and humour in the narration of the romance. A highly involving book, it is one I am pleased to recommend.
