Complètement déjanté mais vraiment très bien si on arrive à se mettre dans la peau d'Ignatus J. Reilly!

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the ridiculous blurbs on the book and other feedback I had head led me to believe I would. Although it contains several formative food experiences, this is ultimately a memoir about Gabrielle Hamilton's life, and while much of it is fascinating, I did lose interest at a few points. I also found myself, as I do about these things, wondering what the "blood, bones, and butter" is supposed to represent. I think (maybe?) how her bizarre family relations shaped her, how she finally began to find some structure in her life through taking control and achieving her dream of owning a restaurant, and the butter trying to reclaim some of what is good in her life and the rewards from that, although it takes a lot of working things through. Hamilton, with an MFA in the subject, is a fine writer, and some of her food memories are among the best I've read---especially her traveling experience, and how she was describing the bottles of wine she was given in Greece, and how you would drink however much you wanted, tie a band around it, and pay for what you drank. How she wanted to re-capture that experience in Prune. The world traveling was one tangent of the book that was tied in nicely to opening a restaurant, eventually---other tangents weren't. I think that, ultimately, for a personal memoir (which this really boils down to, no pun intended) there just wasn't enough introspection or enough about Hamilton's character explained. It got to the point where I was genuinely confused when the author said in the beginning she used to sit on her mother's lap every night, admired her French-ness and graceful ballerina poise and heels, and then suddenly reveals she hasn't seen her mother in 20 years. The quick explanation is because it's "easier". And the explanation of why she has a husband and children when she's clearly gay isn't very clear, either, except that it's described a few times as a joke or a prank. I lost a little sympathy for her at this point. There are some great stories in here about running a restaurant, but a memoir is something where you really have to be on board with the narrator the entire time for it to work, and at least a few times she lost me.

This was good. It was just like the first but better. The secret admirer was pretty cool but got creepy really fast. I was also VERY happy with the decision she made about the guy. It was who I was rooting for. Okay on to the plot. The mystery was actually really good and the “stalker” was a HUGE twist. I was not expecting that. Ms. Harrington did a great job in how she worked all the other characters in the story, from Clare’s new real friend to the girls that have been tormenting her becoming her friends to the boys and the stalker and the missing girl. It was a fine tuned machine. The present and the past working really well together. Clare became more aware of what she wanted to do in her life. She is also someone that will go for what she believes rather than listen to her mom, who told her not to participate in police investigations because she was afraid. I’m amazed by how well the stalker was able to evade her ability as well as how the stalking progressed from one stage to the next. Harrington must have done some research into the progression of this type of stalking so I was impressed (I watched the show Stalked on Netflix after I read this, it has some good information on how to protect yourself). The book was simply well written and enjoyable. I couldn’t put it down.

I really enjoyed this novel, probably because I had an understanding of all the terminology and have read a lot about hacking, cracking, phreaking etc. I can understand why most people would be turned off by this novel though and I don't know anyone who I would pass this book onto.

50¢ at a book sale, and with my current love of Sherlockia, I couldn’t resist, even though I was pretty sure I would hate it. I didn’t hate it. It’s too well-intended to hate, too joyfully fannish, and I must admit that some of Meyer’s footnotes on this “found” manuscript made me laugh out loud. (In case you’re curious, it was the one where Watson writes, “I believe it was in Julius Caesar that Shakespeare said…*” and Meyer’s footnote is simply, “*It’s not.”) However, this fannishness was I guess also part of what I objected to: I mean, it’s published fanfic, people! And while, you know, not that there’s anything wrong with that…I guess on some level I do see something wrong with that. I can’t take it seriously. I kept wanting to comment on Meyer’s LJ: “Sherlock Holmes meeting Freud? What an awesomely cracktastic idea! LOL” Furthermore, it didn’t help that the mystery that pads out the book was just that…padding. And not particularly interesting padding, either. Some of Arthur Conon Doyle’s plots may have been a bit…silly, but they’re so atmospheric, so well done! ‘The Speckled Band’ is really creepy! So’s The Hound of the Baskervilles! The train chase in this was just…long. So, with modern copyright laws, will Harry Potter ever come into the public domain? ‘Cause man, then Harry’s going to be meeting a lot of people nuttier than Freud, that’s for sure.

Pretty heavy bias toward PR. I don't necessarily disagree with the philosophy of the book, I just wish it were a bit more balanced. Advertising takes the bad wrap all around in this one.

** spoiler alert ** I enjoyed this book. The final story is about to finish unraveling. I cant wait for Ever to finally get her one true love. Exspecially since she overcame her chakra. The one thing I didnt care for in this book was that Ever "trained" really hard to try and defeat her BF, but ultamately sucked at each chance she had to take her out. Well until the end, but talk about all talk. Then the secret that dear old Damon held was not much of a secret. I mean its not like he really did anyhting bad. I do feel sorry for Jude though. He seems so nice and innocent through this whole thing but he still gets the shaft. Hopefully he can finally find happiness in the end.

It was like a terrible mash-up of Midsummer Night's Dream, Alice in Wonderland, and the Labyrinth movie with David Bowie. The main character was more like an excuse for moving the plot forward than a character. She was shallow and stupid and had these rare moments or "craftiness" that felt really forced and fake. All of the characters were 2D and static. The romantic interest plotline was completely lacking in any kind of emotion, the big bad guy wasn't brought up until halfway through the book, and the last thirty pages were a complete disappointment. Much like the first 320 pages.

Written in the style of Malcolm Gladwell without being as engaging or memorable. Good anecdotes and an interesting concept (leaderless organizations are much more powerful than hierarchical ones). I would have liked more practical information about why centralized organizations with decentralized services (like eBay and Google) are the most powerful.

These stories were great. I won't pretend that I "got" all of them, but they were quite clever.
