Oscar Flier oscarflier — 4.5 Stars Review to come.

Fake-up Fake-up _ake_p — ** spoiler alert ** Available for purchase on April 16th! Please check out the reviews for Jim's memoir, "Life's That Way" at Amazon.com. Jim has a personal blog - open to public - at MySpace.com. A deeply moving, inspirational story of courage in the face of unexpected and tragic loss, love in the face of fear and an absolute refusal to live in self-pity and anger. In 2003, actor/writer Jim Beaver and wife, Cecily Adams had it all - a beautiful young daughter, careers taking off after years of hard work. Jim's skilled portrayal of grizzled, gritty, mild-mannered gentleman curmudgeon, Ellsworth on HBO's acclaimed series, "Deadwood" had Hollywood talking Emmy nominations. Within a few short months, the acclaim, accolades and fame would take last place to diagnosis of autisim in their beloved Maddie, followed just a few weeks later with Cecily's diagnosis of late, stage-four lung cancer, which she succumbed to only four months later. A weaker soul could justly lay claim to lifelong despair, rage, bitterness and withdrawal but he would have none of it. In the weeks, months and years following Cecily's passing and the raising of Maddie, Jim found strength and will in his writing of a nightly letter to friends and loved ones. This letter ended up as a blog at MySpace and the outpouring of support went from dozens to thousands. Jim shares openly, honestly, nakedly about his transition from sadness and grief, through his devotion to Maddie and determination to greet life on life's terms, with acceptance, compassion and humor. Anyone who has or is currently going through a rough patch or in a situation comprised of seemingly overwhelming odds can find much inspiration in Jim's writing. There's no 'guru' posturing here, a notion I'm certain he'd find abhorrent - just honest - painfully so - reflection and writing about the fact that "Life's That Way". Check out more at Amazon.com and pre-order.

Rocio Quevedo _ocio_uevedo — I can't convert to words my feelings toward this book. David does a wonderful job of showing this world that we can live in while in love, no matter who with. We lose the motivation to love when we don't realize how potent it can be. Boy Meets Boy is one of those stories that I will read over and over again. And stop lying to yourself, you secretly all want to be Noah by the end of the book.

Rupesh Rajendran rupeshrajendran — Guachos! Caudillos! These South American cowboys and barbarians are such fucking men. Best passage of the book: when the guacho, with the "gristled visage of an Arab" stands, holding a poncho in one hand--with which to thrust into the maw of the beast--and a dagger in the other, so that when the tiger leaps the guacho stands strong and stone-facedly transfixes the heart of the great cat with his dagger. The rest of the book is pretty boring. Some kind of history/geography lesson about Argentina, nationalism, and a machiavellian rise to power. Whatever...

Chloe Leadbeater _hloe_eadbeater — Excellent - had me at the edge of my seat. Rollercoaster of emotions in this one - very good.
