Ryan Hughes ryankhughes49f3 — A Punky Raw Original Story

Vincent Nelles vayhaine1402 — A beautiful story about how everyone has a valuable place in society, even when our weaknesses are accounted for.

Eugenia Berenguer _umna85 — ** spoiler alert ** This is one of those books you cannot put down... My husband read it in two days last weekend and I did the same this weekend. I should read more books by Dave Eggars. I absolutely loved "What is the What," and this book was wonderful too. Eggers really makes you care about a subject and identify with people and their situations. I knew very little about Sudan before reading "What is the What," but after reading it I've been following the elections with a newfound interest. Back to Zeitoun... Zeitoun is the story of a prosperous New Orleans business man and his experiences during Hurricane Katrina. Abdulrahman Zeitoun sends his wife Kathy and four children out of the city when the storm bears down on them, but he stays to look after their home and the numerous other properties and work sites around the town. After the hurricane, he scours the city in a canoe, finding people and animals, and helping anyone he can find. He saves people from drowning, delivers water and supplies to his neighbors, and feeds stray dogs left in the flood. Abdulrahman is also Syrian and a Muslim and this may be the reason he is arrested for looting during one of his canoe excursions by the Department of Homeland Security. He is imprisoned without charges or the right to even make a phone call to his wife. He is detained in a makeshift outdoor prison where guards routinely pepper spray their victims, and then moved to a maximum security prison, where he finally after over three weeks makes the phone call to his wife. Thanks to his attorney, wife, and the numerous people of the city who know and respect him, he is freed and the charges are dropped. Basically this book draws attention to the insane debacle that was the government handling of Katrina under the Dept. of Homeland Security. Like all Eggers' books, a significant portion of the proceeds go to organizations that are working to help those in need. So... buy the book!

Julia Korotkova juliaisokaystill — The Scarlet Letter = 1.5 stars Words that Hawthorne obviously likes a lot (and that I now hate): ignominy bosom breast venerable epoch Oh... And we must not forget the exclamation marks! And the long sentences, that continue on and on, even if there should have been a period; wherewith the keyboard or thou printing press wherewithal must not have had a period; even though that's stupid because it sure did have semi-colons; and just so you know, thy is being funny and mocking Hawthorne's writing; even though seriously the sentences would be this long. Yea (he said that a lot too.) Overall, I thought this book was like a bad sequel. When I learned I had to read this for my literature class, I thought it would be about this ongoing affair. So, therefore, I thought the whole book would be this fancy, old, dirty scandalous novel. And although I wasn't very excited about this, I thought that it would at least be interesting. Wrong. Like I said, this was like a sequel of a book that was never published. The first imaginary book (the interesting one that actually detailed all the juicy stuff) should have been called The Scarlet Letter: How It Happened . This book is like the aftermath; the boring stuff no one cares about. Here, let me break it down. So there's this Puritan ("pure") chick named Hester. She lives in Boston (I think?), back in the seventeenth century. Her old hag of a husband is back in England and he was planning to meet her in the Americas. But ole Hester got tired of waiting. So she had this affair and committed adultery. Along with a prolonged "ignominy" (ugh) a scarlet letter is placed upon her "bosom"..."breast"...whatever. It is a letter "A". So now Hester is walking around with her crazy daughter, Pearl. But then her old husband, "Chillingworth" (I put the quotes because I got the impression that that was just his alias) comes to New England and plans to get revenge on Hester's "mysterious" baby daddy. Right. The thing is, by chapter...seven, I already knew who the darn father was (I won't say it, even if it's pretty obvious). Okay, maybe that's not all that impressive but I think the mystery should have gone through the whole book. The whole thing felt dry to me. I'm not saying that Hawthorne doesn't write nicely (even if I didn't understand 25% of what he said). It was just...very old. That's really the only way I can describe it. Everyone talked like this: Hath you finished ye book! Yea! Thou book hath badth! Thy ignominy tis glowing celestially! -_- Oh! And it was in third person. Ugh. Just glad I finished this thing for class.

David Ballesteros davidballeb702 — Wow - this one I debated the four or five star rating. Probably would've been a 5 if it didn't get so horribly depressing...I felt like I was on the sidelines watching lives (and a nation) completely unravel and it was really hard. Beautifully written - totally educated me on the Nigerian civil war and the largely unrecognized country of Biafra. Very, very real characters that I felt like I knew by then end...
