花 亦非 401388658fea0 — This is a great book with lots of treasures inside, not just for the children in the story, who learn so much, but for readers from the outside as well. It's one I'll read again and again and share with my children.

Charlie Cross charliecross — Generally I liked it. Story that made me want to keep reading (way too many late nites staying up trying to finishjustonemorechapter..), good writing, well-developed characters that for the most part I cared about. Felt pacing was a little uneven -- many things happening thru first 90% of the book, then a lot gets wrapped up in the last 70 pages or so. Kept wondering throughout the story how these people found fresh water to drink. Lots of mention of warm beer, sodas, etc, but I cant recall an instance when a character turned on a faucet and then was like "oh right! no plumbing!" (Plus this was in the 80s before bottled water was ubiquitous). Also puzzled by how so many physical relationships popped up so quickly. I mean, I've seen Speed and know that people can fall in love under stressful situations, but if I were living in this post-apocalyptic world I'd be focused on finding my next meal, keeping warm, and staying safe.

Anderson Joelmes _nderson_oelmes — Dead of Winter is the second book in the Rift Series (you can see my review of that AMAZING book here) and it picks up essentially where the first one left off: the world as we know it has ended and those dubiously lucky souls who have survived the "Rat Flu" plague that turned humans into monsters must now go about the process of surviving. It's no small task and one has to wonder if the rag tag group of friends and strangers who have bonded together in the previous story are up to the task. Josh has a lot of growing up to do. Even as much as I loved his character in The Fall, even as much as I wanted to smack him in that book too, he has SO much to learn! He's such a kid in so many ways and the harsh new world around him has but one use for the weak: fodder for the monsters. Plus, whether he likes it or not, whether he wants to admit it to himself or not, there's something special about him, something that just might save not only his friends but the world. Even as we rejoin our old friends, full of trepidaton and dare I say hope, we meet some fascinating new characters and learn more about the source of the plague and the coming war. There's Marcy, a girl who perhaps even more than Josh is critical to the puzzle of just what the evil is that is taking over the planet and might be the key to defeating it. There's William, brilliant and damaged and more powerful that he suspects. And then there's Corky, who despite the crack in his soul, is the source of so much unconditional love, a rare trait indeed in these desperate times. As much as I loved the characters in The Fall, I loved these new characters too! I don't know how Robert does it, how does he make people of such incredible depth and humanity? They're imperfect to be sure but their flaws make me enjoy them all the more, rooting for them page by page as I race to see what happens next. And, as you might expect from the genre, it's not all sunshine and lollipops for these characters. Sam is still out there, gathering an army of truly terrifying proportions, corrupting those weak enough to be lured into his siren song of power and survival, destroying those whom he can't corrupt. And when Sam and his children get angry...well....it isn't pretty! Bottom Line: This book will have you crying and cheering simultaneously (and just might give you a nightmare or two) but it's definitely worth it! If you haven't started the journey with The Fall, you'll definitely want to read that first to see just how these folks got themselves into the messes their in, but you'll love reading ever page of these fantastic books!!!

Jessica Castle jessicacastle — Wanted a book on meditation to help me through some troublesome spots. Guyczuk did too, and he came up with three recommendations. This was my least favorite of the three, but it might be because of the layout and presentation. There's good info in there, if you're more patient than I am, and more comfortable with some of the current American jargon and approaches to learning a certain type of skills. While I like the idea of 8 minute meditation, it somehow seems too distilled down for me, too formulaic.

Maya Fletcher _letch_rt — Honestly, I don't care if James Frey's book is true or not. It's a damn fine book, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved it. The man can portray an addict in a crystal-clear, stirringly accurate way that conveys the overwhelming hopelessness of the condition. Keep it up, Frey, I dig your work.

Galilea Rivera galileariv3c93 — So I'm going to tell you a secret. Back in middle school/early high school I used to write bad poetry. Then one day I had an epiphany that I was writing mopey teen poetry and stopped. Then I went through a phase where I decided that I didn't like or understand poetry. Until senior year of college when I took a literature course. We studied poetry and I discovered that I do in fact like some poetry (mopey teenagers need not apply.) So I'm still on shaky ground with poetry. I love "Do not go gentle into that good night" BUT I'm iffy when it comes to most new poems. Books written in verse make me EVEN MORE NERVOUS. I blame the indecent amounts of Wordsworth I had to read for a class during college. (During which my brain spazzed and was like novel length poem, I GET IT YOU LIKE NATURE). For a book written in verse to work there has to be a damn good reason for the stylistic choice. For Under the Mesquite it worked. The book is driven by emotion. The writing is not overdone, at times even sparse and always poignant. It's the story of a girl growing up as her mother slowly succumbs to cancer. It's heartbreaking, but not in a cheap way. Rather than focus on the details of the disease, the reader experiences what Lupita feels throughout her mother's sickness. Somehow the verse gives the emotion room to breathe. The emotions about growing up, sickness, family and loss ring so true. Because the verse is so genuine and natural, I cannot imagine this story told any other way. Here is one of my favorite passages: For my sisters, senorita means having someone to worship: it is the wonder of seeing their older sister looking like Cinderella on her way to the ball. But for me, senorita means melancolia: settling into sadness. It is the end of wild laughter. The end of chewing bubble gum and giggling over nothing... Stories involving cancer have been done, re-done and will continue to be done. I read those Lurlene McDaniel books back in middle school (aka all the teens die but HEY at least they fall in love first books). But this book felt different and refreshing. There is nothing trite about the the way this story is told. It's not a long book but there's a lot of life and growing up between it's pages. It flits between spanish and english, Texas and Mexico, childhood and adulthood seamlessly. It's a beautiful little book that I'm glad I stumbled across.

Robin Olson _lson — I devoured this book in about 48 hours and then struggled for almost 2 years with Atlas Shrugged. Similar themes - but I thought the story was more tightly told and controlled in this work than her later "masterwork".
