Bebe Rebozzo rhotzenplotz0530 — I found this to be a little disappointing. I must admit I chose it because Charlaine Harris described it as what would happen in Buffy grew up and became a soccer mom. And I loved Buffy. But what I think is missing here is the wit. Buffy had wit and sarcasm. Kate Conner is pretty boring if you ask me. So she can kill demons, she has a carpool and she lets her TV babysit her two year old (with a small amount of guilt) there wasn't a whole lot of depth. And the plot wasn't too difficult to figure out, but it was an enjoyable read if you are looking for something light. Add in a little steaminess and this would be a great beach read.

Juan Fernando juanfdo552b91a — Excellent. A somewhat later volume that shows Hergé's increasing sophistication in regards to world events. No longer is he about stereotypes, but he actually seems to care about history and its impact on individuals. This is the result of influence from a Chinese student friend of his, who appears in this book and then in later books (Tintin in Tibet).

Yogo I iyogo — I read this back in high school for french class. . .can't remember if I liked it or not, but thanks to Marco I'm gonna re-visit it this week =) Okay, so hmm. . .I forgot how totally messed up Mersault is. When I first read this I was pretty ignorant of the state of Muslims & Arabs in Algeria during the last century. It was interesting to see how they were depicted in this book, kind of like a gang of thugs. I'm not sure why but I pictured Edward Norton playing the main character, either him or Zinedine Zidane, post-WC headbutt. Very bizarre little man, detached from the world and unemotional . . . it was also interesting to see how dramatic everyone else is in comparison to him, particularly Marie and Raymond, and later on the chaplain - I could almost picture these people talking loudly with wild and exaggerated hand gestures while Mersault stood there without reaction. Ageeb (bizarre in Arabic)! I kinda want to go back home and dig out my notes from school to see what we actually were expected to understand the first time we read it in school. . .my guess is that our french teachers didn't care about our comprehension, rather our ability to recognize and conjugate the verbs found in the text =P Also, wikipedia classifies The Stranger as under the genre of "absurdist fiction" which I had never really heard of. Related to existentialism, absurdism is a philosophy stating that the efforts of humanity to find meaning in the universe will ultimately fail (and, hence, are absurd) because no such meaning exists, at least in relation to humanity. The word Absurd in this context does not mean "logically impossible", but rather "humanly impossible".

Niel Daman nieldaman — I actually enjoyed this book, quite a bit. I have a bad habit of trying to guess how the book would end, what with typical literary cliches and whatnot. This didn't end nearly the way I expected it to -- and that's a very good thing, in my opinon.

Pierre Pousin pierre_pousin — This book was really good, its all about conjoined twins and although I thought was going to be really strange was brilliant. I really felt like I knew both twins(told by them both) and really missed it once I had finished it throughly recommend it!

Camille Piasco campiascobdbc — I had to give up on this one because it was trying to make me feel bad. Preaching + emotional manipulation = COME ON.
