This is the complete story of Aminata Diallo from her years as a young girl much loved, cherished and intellectually nourished by her parents in an African village in the 1740s. As a young girl she helps her mom who works as a midwife within her village and neighboring villages. She is captured, marched by slave traders to the coast and makes the voyage to Sullivans's Island, South Carolina. Even as a child during this time she seems to be an old soul making her skills and intelligence so important to the slave traders, the slave owners, and her fellow slaves. She works as a midwife, she easily learns new languages, she learns to read, she teaches others to read, she escapes, she travels, she survives! When the book begins she is in London working with abolitionists and is obviously writing a book of her life - which is supposed to be this book. And her life is filled with love and heartbreak, cruelty and kindness, opportunities found and opportunities lost, but she never gives up or gives in. She is determined to live in freedom and uses her wits to find her way to that freedom and to keep it. This is definitely a compelling story of slavery and one that I would highly recommend!

This book was a fabulous read! So many laugh out loud moments, great storyline and fantastic characters made this a book that I just didn't want to put down! If you like James' Something About You, you will LOVE A Lot Like Love!

3.5, really. Not exactly what it says on the tin, but still good. Very funny, but a meaner funny than what I was expecting based on the book jacket. I will definitely seek out this author's adult fiction. edited to add: I have to mention, too, how nice it is to read an adult author's teenlit debut that isn't poorly veiled memoir and/or doesn't take place when the author was a teenager for no reason.

Chosen as pretty much a joke for my geeky Dinner and a Book Club, QVDH wasn't nearly as bad as I'd expected it to be. Yes, it's silly and a complete knockoff in the recent historical-supernatural knockoff. But it's pretty well-written and often laugh-out-loud funny. All in all, a win.

This collection of short stories about the imigrant and Indian-American experience is almost always beautiful and often quite sad. It's been several months since I first read this book and several of the stories still stick clearly in my mind. This book was chosen to be part of the "One Book, One Chicago" series, which invites the city of Chicago to share the same book at one time, showing the book's power at reaching beyond those interested or familar with Indian culture.

"Promise me you won't fall in love with me." That is what Jamie Sullivan says to Landon Carter. It was painfully obvious that he was going to do so anyway, but I still enjoyed the book.

This is a great thrill ride with really imaginative use of technology. The fact that Suarez is an expert programmer himself gives validity to the ideas and technology behind them. It does become a little too far fetched as it goes along, which does the worst thing a story can do: pull you out of the story's trance. However, it still is a fun and engaging technological thriller.

Apparently "Little Children" had a movie version made based on this novel, but I didn't know that prior to finding this book. I stumbled upon the book while surfing this site :). Tom Perrotta manages to do what Jonathan Franzen couldn't do in his book "The Corrections;" take ordinary American families and expose them from the inside out using wit, social commentary and complex characters. Perrotta's cast of demoralizing and selfish characters include: the neighborhood child molester, working parents who carry on lurid affairs and several young children who seem to just 'get in the way' of their respective parents' social lives. What's so enticing to read about characters like this? Nothing, really -- in the hands of a less skilled author that is. In the hands of this author though, the book reads like a juicy literary version of "Desperate Housewives" or "Parenthood." There's nothing cheesy about his approach though, as would be with those TV soaps. Perrotta picks and prods at his characters' inner workings showing the readers their faults and misgivings without even blinking. He humanizes these characters (yes, even the child molester at times) and makes you rethink your own prejudices and moral high ground. Upon its conclusion, I wondered if the title is yet another witty ploy by Perrotta that's a reference to the parents and their behaviors and not their children? LOL. One can only guess. I'd gladly read another book about Tom Perrotta's 'soccer moms' any day of the week. Because in doing so, it's a given that they are going to be revealed to be much more than that by story's end.
