Dario Trapasso dariotrapasso — I'm not really going to read this - I started the first one (Big Stone Gap) painfully read 80 pages and bagged it - life's too short. I could have written this myself - not worth the time.

Vrushali Vinod vrushalivinod — She speaks to my spirit.

Tara Cronin _77d5 — Started out somewhat amusingly, though the writing was rather wooden from the start. Not funny enough, not clever enough. Ending was completely ludicrous.

Mohammed Fayed mohamedwag8d93 — Eviction Notice By Kwan The Streets Will Never Be The Same. What can I say that I haven't said already or that others haven't said? Kwan is one of the greatest street lit authors on the market past and present. I have been a supporter for a long time and with the quality stories this author is putting out, I will continue to be a supporter. I have never read an authors work that makes you want to go back and reread their earlier work. While reading "Eviction Notice" I was saying, “damn I need to go revisit some old friends”. I hope others can pick up on Kwan zest and flair for being able to have a standalone book (although this is book five in series) AND keep you up to date on earlier characters. I love how he tied some of his earlier works together while allowing the reader to keep up. The introduction of some new characters: Porsha, Frankie and Sahara keep the story moving right along. They are the main characters and roommates who receive eviction notice. They will have you laughing, yelling, and almost crying at/with the antics and situations they get themselves in. The answers are in about Animal. Picks up right where Section 8 left off and you won’t be disappointed. If you are a fan of this series, this book is worth it just to find out those details. Introduction of King James was a great plot although at times I wanted to shoot him myself. Looking forward to seeing how things progress or not with him. Shai Clark is back a crowd favorite. Music Mogul Don B is back and he still up to his old trick. We do get to see the business side of him and see that it’s not just dumb luck he on top. If you’re a true die hard supporter, you will enjoy catching up on some of his earlier work. I'm not going to spoil it for you just start flipping pages and you will see who. If by some chance, you have slept on this author I suggest that you start from the beginning (Gangsta) and work your way up and see what all the hype is about. I guarantee you will be like the rest of and waiting with baited breath for the next release. Those die hard supporters know K’wan releases are around the Sept/ Oct time of year. So get busy because you have some catching up to do SiStar Tea ARC Book Club Inc 5 star rating Oct. 18th 2011

Lisa Wingo lisawingo — The book: Gus Grissom: The Lost Astronaut The author: Ray E. Boomhower, author and historian from Indiana The subject: A biography of Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts and first astronaut to fly into space twice, whose life was tragically caught short by a fire during a pre-launch test of the Apollo 1 command module. Why I chose it: I bought this from the (since closed) Science Museum's branch of Waterstones because astronauts are cool. The rating: Four out of five stars What I thought of it: Many people probably know of Gus Grissom as a result of Tom Wolfe's book "The Right Stuff" and the subsequent movie. Both of these came out after Grissom's death and were rather less respectful than they might have been of a man no longer around to defend himself. This book is far more appropriate and in-depth, covering Grissom's life from his childhood in Mitchell, Indiana, through his work as a test pilot, then an astronaut, through to his untimely demise and what happened after it. Boomhower managed to get a good balance between talking about Grissom's home life and his work life, so you get a full and rounded portrait of the man he was. There is a lot of technical detail communicated well, as well as anecdotes to stop it from being too dry. You get a real sense of how dedicated Grissom was to the space program, which makes his chronic bad luck while part of it even more saddening. I know a fair amount about NASA's early manned missions, but I learned some new stuff in this book. Perhaps not the most historically significant, but oddly most saddening to me, was that after Grissom's Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft almost sank as a result of the hatch blowing, his two young sons were bullied at school because it was reported that Grissom had panicked and opened the hatch prematurely. Kids, eh? (Incidentally, the evidence points towards Grissom having nothing to do with the hatch blowing; in fact, it seems like it may have been an issue with the hatch door not being adequately secured, which was rectified for later missions.) If you're interested in the history of human spaceflight, NASA or anything in that ballpark, I definitely recommend this book. Even if you're not, it's an absorbing account of the life of a space pioneer that is both sympathetic and realistic. You will come out of it with a far more rounded portrait of Grissom than other books have provided. Just one more thing: This picture. Just... this picture. (Alan Shepard on the left, Gus Grissom on the right. I think these suits must have been NASA issue.)

Chang Sixi changsixi — The first ever book on writing I have read as I venture into this new and exciting pursuit. Being my first, I have read the book from cover to cover and found it "just right" in terms of length and density and was able to immediately apply some tools, while noticing that others have affected the way I think about and structure my writing. This won't inspire you with brilliant ideas but will give you the tools of implementing the ideas you already have.
