Oliver Lin _liver223 — I was suprised how much I liked this book. I didn't think that I would, but once I got past the first few chapters, I really got into it. I thought it was an interesting story and a must read for everyone.

David Nawrot nawrot — A very enjoyable and thought provoking read.

Lucie Soquet luciesoquetd41b — This was another good book from the series, but not my favorite. I did appreciate the students learning about people with disabilities and I experienced some of the issues the people in the book mentioned, such as store clerks trying to address me rather than the person I was pushing in the chair. I can only imagine how frustrating that would be for a wheelchair bound person.

Emil Tang uifire — First time I've read this series. It was an easy read and an interesting story, but it's very similar to many others in this genre. Reminded me of Janet Evanovich without the humor

Autobahn Autobahn _utobahn — This took me way longer than usual to read because I was so ill last month and concentrating my eyes on a book was the last thing that I could handle most of the time but when I was feeling well again and got back to reading it I devoured the remaining chapters. In all honesty I'm probably a little biased towards loving this book because I think Alison Weir is a fantastic writer to begin with and I really love novels about monarchs, I'm just such a sucker for them and it's pretty easy to suck me in because of that. This novel is about Eleanor of Aquitaine whom I had never even heard of before I started reading this, I don't know if that's shameful or not considering we're talking about the High Middle Ages in France here, but Weir ambitiously tackles Eleanor's marriage to Henry II in this book, from start to finish. As she lays out in her author's notes at the back of the book she didn't want to write a novel about the whole of Eleanor's life but if she went back and wrote about Eleanor's first marriage (to King Louis VII of France) I would happily read it. Eleanor is a strong, feisty woman in a time when women were expected to be meek and submissive, she sees herself as a lioness and feels in her younger years that she can take on the world. For me the transition of her through middle age and into her twilight years is handled beautifully and delicately and I'm not too proud to say that I cried at the end of the book, I couldn't help myself. Weir has a way of constructing these really concise but poignant sentences. In the end it's the way that she rounds out her characters that makes me enjoy her novels so much and this is no exception; Eleanor and Henry in particular are both characters that go through massive changes over the thirty-seven years the novel covers and no matter how frustrating they can be they really are just human in the end, it's the humanity in this novel that made me enjoy it so much. I would recommend it to anyone.

Marie-audrey Bérel _arie_udrey — Chekhov’s characters, both in his fictions and his plays are people deeply in pain and disasters, but their hands are not long enough to change their fate or the world around themselves. The last statement of Chekhov’s plays describes almost the whole piece: The Doctor: The fact is, Konstantin Gavrilitch has shot himself. (Sea-Gull). Firs: Life has slipped by as though, I hadn’t lived. I lie down a bit … there is no strength in you, nothing left you, all gone! Ech! I’m good for nothing (Cherry Orchard). Olga, If we only knew, if we only knew.

Samantha Whitmore samanthawhitmore — A great history of women. So interesting and fun. It was a moving account and one of the first comprehensive marginalized histories.

Ceylan Güven cey1231211 — This one really didn't hit the spot for me. I can't put my finger on why but I know that I just wanted to hurry through it and get to the end. Not b/c I needed to know how it ended but b/c I wanted it to be over. Not my usual feeling about a Brennan book either!

Robin Gupta rbngpt15062 — this is the one i just read, not I Know This Much is True...this is a great book!

Yan Hain hainian — This book made me feel infinite.
