From the Publisher A bestseller when it was published in 1970 at the height of the Mexican-American civil rights movement, Chicano unfolds the fates and fortunes of the Sandoval family, who flee the chaos and poverty of the Mexican Revolution and begin life anew in the United States. Patriarch Hector Sandoval works the fields and struggles to provide for his family even as he faces discrimination and injustice. Of his children, only Pete Sandoval is able to create a brighter existence, at least for a time. But when Pete's daughter Mariana falls in love with David, an Anglo student, it sets in motion a clash of cultures. David refuses to marry Mariana, fearing the reaction of his family and friends. Mariana, pregnant with David's child, is trapped between two worlds and shunned by both because of the man she loves. The complications of their relationship speak volumes -- even today -- about the shifting sands of racial politics in America. In his foreword, award-winning author Rubén Martínez reflects on the historical significance of Chicano's initial publication and explores how cultural perceptions have changed since the story of the Sandoval family first appeared in print.

My son just gave me this book for my b'day, and my husband is alreay eyeing it. Must be good. Plus it's a "mystery/thriller", so maybe I won't have to think much while I'm reading it!

Beautiful descriptions and finally a woman in the main focus. Pandora is intelligent, strong and passionate woman who's love story with Marius is tainted with sadness. What comes to the plot, it's not as interesting as the first two ones but as a single book Pandora is yet again very compelling to me.

This is a wonderful resource for people who have a nookcolor or nook. However it would he better if the book was sold separately so that you could just buy the section you need plus the extras the author included about all nooks. I really enjoyed it.

**3.5** Silver Borne may involve the Fae and the secrets surrounding a mysterious book, but more than anything it's about relationships. The entire story revolves around the ties that bind: Mercy and Adam's bond, their individual relationships to the pack at large, and Samuel's link with the world in general. It was about time we got these subjects out in the open! There have been lingering hostilities, hesitations aplenty, and a lot of unresolved emotions in this series. Silver Borne forces most of these to the fore, making this more of a drama than an action-packed fantasy. As the series develops, Briggs endows Adam with a fuller personality and gives a clearer picture of the vulnerabilities lurking beneath the Alpha's surface. I appreciate this, as I've always liked Adam yet never felt as comfortable with him as I do with other characters. With Mercy, Briggs makes sure to keep her character as realistic as ever. Mercy is still the same reckless risk-taker when it comes to protecting those she loves, but she's also learning from her experiences and slowly changing the way she handles certain situations. She's becoming more savvy in dealing with the pack and their magics. She's also coming to appreciate the comfort and confidence being part of a pack - and a family - provides. Samuel reaches the breaking point Briggs has been hinting at. His storyline gives a great deal of insight into the relationship between the man and the wolf as they reside in one being. It highlights the Otherness of the werewolves and the tremendous amount of control they constantly have to exert over their animalistic side. (I sense some foreshadowing!) His loss of connection with the world provides a great contrast to Mercy’s acceptance of Adam and her status as the Alpha’s mate. Despite the fact I wanted Samuel's problems sorted out and Adam and Mercy’s relationship to progress, I must admit I found this story lacking. The involvement of the Fae seemed forced - merely an external drama designed to bring everything else to a boiling point. It somehow lacked integration, especially when the problem was quickly resolved in the last 50 pages. The unrest within the pack would have made a well-rounded storyline all on its own. Silver Borne was a quick and entertaining visit with characters I’m fond of, but I hope the next installment includes a little more on the action and mystery fronts, getting Mercy back to her true strengths.

Started reading this out loud to a friend. I think we got through the first five stories the first night. I laughed so hard about the bit with the Stadium Pal, I cried. I have never really noticed that Sedaris has a great and varied vocabulary. (Or perhaps the rest of my reading world is getting a bit repetitive.) Ends with a long rendition of what it was like for David to quit smoking, and then lengths he went to. Funny, funny, funny. One of my favorite authors. Finished this one in the bathtub.

This was a lot of fun. The way that all the logical impossibilities were presented had me laughing out loud a lot. And I really enjoyed how the story is about Yossarian, but it's presented from the point of view of every other character in the novel.

Seni Philip Roth'un eski eleştirilerine maruz bırakmayacağım. Çalışmaları kesinlikle kadın düşmanı, özellikle de bu roman tarafındadır. Romanın ilk yarısını büyük ölçüde dayanılmaz buldum - uzun epizodik pasajlar ve ardından daha uzun ironik karnaval pasajları - ama nesir müstehcenliğinde titriyor. Ancak Roth, son olarak, özellikle son 100 sayfada gerçekten vahiy edici bazı materyallerle romanın büyük ölçüde boşa harcanmasını telafi ediyor. Önceki 350 sayfa boyunca çiftçilik yapmanın, elde edilen epifaniye değip değmeyeceği her bir okuyucunun çağrısıdır.
