Candie Witherspoon candiewith006c — Great book for understanding how things work in society.

Sandra Ruth sandrajune7407 — Percy can always make me smile. His voice is fresh and he's just a genuinely nice guy. Throw in all his friends and the monsters that are continually wanting to eat them, and this series has always been able to keep me entertained.

Herlan Suherlan thehell — Jodi Picoult is one of my all time favorites. I have read and own every book she has written. This is one of my least favorites, and parallels too many underlying themes of My Sister's Keeper (of which I loved). One I threw across the room when I finished ;(

Kip Stutzman kipstutzman — While exploring a tumultuous time in Argentinean history through the eyes of comic characters, Nathan Englander’s new novel The Ministry of Special Cases (Knopf, 2007) muses on the lengths to which loving parents will go when their child is in danger, and the lengths to which a repressive government will go to quell dissention. The novel takes place in Buenos Aires in 1976, when the troubled government of Isabel Peron was overthrown by a military junta. It was a time of extreme violence and social unrest; an estimated 20,000-30,000 leftists, students, union members and others who may or may not have been insurrectionists “disappeared” at the hands of the military dictatorship. Against the background of the government’s so-called “Dirty War” against its citizens, Englander portrays the lives of a middle class, Jewish family. Reminiscent of Nadine Gordimer’s novels, in which the political history of South Africa is seen through the lens of a single family, Englander’s novel juxtaposes the power struggles within the family – between father and son, between husband and wife, between mother and son – against the characters’ battles with political, social, and religious forces. Although tragic elements propel the plot, the novel contains comical moments as well. Kaddish faces one of the most devastating situations a parent could imagine but his story is, in many ways, a comedy of errors. Notwithstanding his good intentions, his plans always go awry, such as when a nose job he arranges for Lillian is mangled and when he bungles an attempt to blackmail a powerful woman for money to pay ransom for his son. Although Englander’s writing often depicts Jewish characters and themes, it also resonates with readers from diverse spiritual and cultural traditions, and has been compared to that of Issac Bashevis Singer, Saul Bellow, and Franz Kafka, among others. Discussing the novel in an on-line interview, Englander commented that the “greatest tragedy is also funny.” Concurrently a compelling exploration of a father’s complex relationship with his teenaged son and a critical commentary on totalitarian governments, The Ministry of Special Cases depicts the comedy and tragedy of private individuals caught in a complex political situation.
