It's fascinating to see how this boys mind works. He's brilliant, but can't communicate until his mother teaches him to write. So interesting to hear him describe things like "hearing the colors" and "listening to the stories in the mirror."

I really enjoyed the style of writing. The plain and simple text made the book more enhanced and protrayed the main characters and settings quite well.

I really liked Cracking India & The Crow Eaters, so this novel about a young Pakistani girl leaving for America sounded like a great read. But it was really unsatisfying. The characters were one dimensional and I never felt engaged by our Bratty heroine (who was no where near bratty enough!). I'll keep reading her books but this is one I'd recommend skipping.

Okay, so it was a little embarrassing when I took this book (that teenagers are reading) into my optometrist's office, to read while I waited, and the doctor saw it, and said, "You're reading that?!" But, hey I have to say, I'm hooked -- all these smouldering looks, damsel in distress scenes, strength and chivalry, tender touches that last not quite long enough, sending me looking for my husband, wanting a hot passionate kiss... aye, yih-yih-yih... this is a fun read.

** spoiler alert ** I very much enjoyed reading this. We see the world through the eyes of a half American-Indian, a giant of a man called Chief Bromden. Chief doesn't say or do much of anything as the people who run the mental institution where the story is based, think he's deaf and dumb. He plays along with them and pretends because he finds it much easier to get by this way. One day, a loud red-haired man by the name of McMurphy is committed and begins to wreak hilarious havoc on this asylum which is run by a tyrant named Nurse Ratched, or the 'Big Nurse' as Chief calls her. Once I'd gotten the image of Jack Nicholson finally out of my head (he played the character in the film adaptation), McMurphy really came alive for me in the novel. I loved his anti-authority stance, his overbearing confidence and his ability befriend a group of mentally ill patients, when he was actually faking to be there to avoid doing time at the Work Farm. Genuis! He is such an amazing character and was a delight to read about. McMurphy's defiance againt Nurse Ratched turns badly for him at the end but it was his confidence and personality that managed to finally free Chief Bromden, both physically and mentally. Great book, definitely another one that falls into 'the book is so much better than the film' catergory.

Just re-read this out loud with my kids at my 8 year olds request. So fun to see their enjoyment of reading it for the first time. These books are just classic. March 2015 First read December 2005

Loved it! I finally figured out what genre Neil Gaiman represents to me. Fairy tales for adults-and they are the greatest.

I still think "Blink" is Malcolm's best book to date ... this was interesting, and I really enjoyed the "read" (I listened to it in the car) ... it gave me lots of food for thought and will probably influence my simple acceptance of the status quo - - much like Blink and Tipping Point did. But it reminded me a lot of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" - so if you liked Outliers, and it got you thinking about being at the right place at the right time, you might also like "Guns, Germs, and Steel". But Malcolm's fable approach has really grown on me and I wish more non-fiction books would take that approach ... its more interesting to my brain than the standard Essay.

Fouzia Saeed and Adam Nayyar look at the Lok Theatre Movement that swept Pakistan's Punjabi region from the 50s to the 70s, focusing particularly on the life and work of Bali Jatti and other prominent women who played a role (and roles) in Lok Theatre. Aslam Azhar's foreword shines with articulate brilliance in discussing gender roles in Pakistani (or any) society: "[M:]en have been the beneficiaries, and women but the human resource. It is, then, the nature of things that in the struggle for change, men have played the conservative role, and women the progressive; and that men, in their attempt to keep history frozen, will bring into play all the devices they have refined over the ages, manipulating tradition, culture, even religion, and at all times using that essentially male prerogative, physical force, in order to preserve the 'weaker' social group in its state of subordination." Beyond Azhar's foreword, Saeed and Nayyar go into territory far more specific than the book's title implies, explaining only somewhat the manifestation of populist matriarchal theater in a land so dominated by patriarchal dictum and where art and theater are less valued than in the West or across the border in India. Perhaps this is why Lok is so powerful, for repression inspires those who think outside the confines of a confining society to be passionate and creative in their approach to resistance.
It took me a long time to get through this. I was happy I did it, but it is not the favorite that many made it out to be. Enjoyable, but just nothing spectacular.
