This book really does justice to the awe inspiring diversity caused by evolution, and does a great job debunking common fallacies and illogic aimed at evolutionary science. A really great read!

I couldn't put this book down. It's not the best book I've ever read, but there was something about it that made me want to keep reading (I read it in less than a day.) I think the author chose a great way to make you WANT to read about a not-so-nice subject. What a great Young Adult book - I could see this being required reading in some high school English class. It would generate a lot of discussion.

I started reading this but couldn't get into it. I hear mixed reviews, so I bet I'll pick it up at some other point.

3.5 STARS I loved the first book in the Wonderbar series (Jacob Wonderbar and the Cosmic Space Kapow) and began to devour the sequel as quickly as Jacob devoured those corndogs! The premise is intriguing —the King of the Universe asks Jacob to run against the king’s own son in the first-ever election for President of the Universe. As the king’s son is none other than the notorious space pirate Mick Cracken, it doesn’t seem like Jacob will have too much trouble defeating him—until Jacob learns that many of the Astrals (those living on other planets) don’t much like Earth-dwellers and that some of them even want Earth destroyed before the Earth-dwellers decide to spread their many wars galaxy-wide. Soon, Jacob’s desire to be elected moves beyond personal pride and a wish that maybe, just maybe, his absentee father will finally contact him if he is President of the Universe, to having to save all of humanity and his own home planet! Somewhere along the way, my enthusiasm for Jacob’s second adventure waned just a bit. Several of the chapters felt too rushed, too choppy, especially when Jacob, Dexter and Sarah Daisy were all in different places. While I know it’s important to keep a steady pace and not drag things out, especially when writing for children, I think a few more transitions and explanations would have enhanced the story. I feel that all of the plot points had merit, but some just weren’t executed that well. I also wanted a bit more character development; for example, we are told a character has “really changed” but I didn’t feel like I saw enough change through his/her actions. Still, some chapters were absolutely brilliant (mostly those involving satire of the election process and the media!) I wonder if some of the wit would go over kid’s heads. Then again, it is a great way to get kids thinking about the election process—from the good (people having the right to choose their leader) to the bad (sometimes one of your choices might just happen to be a bit of a criminal) to the ugly (the lies and slander from opponents and also the media favoritism). An example of one of my favorite quotes: "Slogans aren't *lying* ... You take one of your weaknesses and say the exact opposite, but in a way that's not technically lying. ... If you were head of an Earther company that accidentally turned a river purple, you'd say 'Protecting the Environment One River at a Time!' That line is genius because the one river you were protecting at the time wasn't the one you turned purple." – Mick Cracken. and another: “The less you *want* to be a leader, the better leader shall you be.” -- King of the Universe And the whole segment with Sarah Daisy’s A-word gaffe is just outstanding! It really shows how the media can runaway with one little misstep (even if the person never meant any harm) and that the media has such tremendous power and influence. Again, as an adult I thought this was brilliant. As a kid, I’m not sure I would have “got” all of it—but this would be a great read-aloud and discussion starter for families, especially with 2012 being a presidential election year, the timing couldn’t be better. So, while all in all I felt this was a more flawed book than the first in the Wonderbar series (and that cliffhanger ending kinda irked me; the last chapter felt a bit like bait to get us to read the third book) I definitely so plan to read the third book (didn't even need that last chapter to entice me). I hope it has all the intellectual depth and wit of this book with the stronger storytelling of the first.

This is one of those unusual books to which I believe I would have a different reaction had I read it instead of listened to it. 4 stars in audio form. Turns out I love Barbara Rosenblatt's voice. I’m not sure I would have finished the book had I picked it up to read in the conventional sense. Rosenblatt voices Renee, the high culture-loving concierge in a Parisian apt bldg who reads Kant for the fun of it. These passages I enjoyed--rapturous discussions of philosophy (though I expected more philosophy) and art, even if it's not art I'm nuts about (Mozart and Tolstoy--I'm more a Philip Glass-style snob. However, Renee’s favorite opera is Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, and there I am in utter agreement.) The second character, the precocious Paloma, I found simply absurd and irritating. The book's patronizing adoration of Japan was irritating, too. What I enjoyed: the exercise of competing philosophical positions; the gorgeous turns of phrase; the discussions of sashimi and madeleines; the anti-elitism; the scene in the psychiatrist’s office. The philosophy: to the extent that I follow this, the book explores phenomenology—the study of consciousness—(which asks Qs such as: Does the fact that I am thinking about "thinking about experience" change the experience? Or the thinking? Do we "constitute" objects by how we see them –i.e., is an object's essence established in the relation between the object and the perceiver?) Presumably, consciousness is affected by the object of its gaze—which is the basis for the high art argument: we think differently based on what we think about. Subjectivity is malleable, even fragile, and what we feed our brains matters. Though Paloma and Renee are supposedly soul-sisters (and in their self-determined superiority over others, they are) in fact I see them as quite different in respect to the category of ‘experience’: Paloma, child that she is, requires a demonstrable, experiential justification for living. Renee, whose life has no obvious justification, simply is, and enjoys what pleasures she can extract from life outside of her work. Did I need a novel to explore these ideas? No. Again, what I really like is Rosenblatt’s flair for infusing words with drama. She reads each sentence precisely as it would be spoken. I can imagine her style is not to everyone’s liking—she’s a bit precious—but I found her reading style both soothing and engaging. A note on audiobooks: I’ve only just started listening to audiobooks in a serious way, and it is quite obvious to me that listening to a book is a different intellectual experience than reading it, though I’m not sure I can articulate that difference at this point. The reader has an amazing impact—I know that some books are impossible for me to listen to, based on who is reading. (David Sedaris is ruined for me by the audio experience, for example.) Most non-fiction thus far I cannot process as easily. But is that because much non-fiction is read by weak readers who cannot understand the ideas they are describing? More anon.

I stumbled on this before knowing about Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series. Not outstanding as literature, but very enjoyable, any mystery fan should savor it. In today's entertainment climate, it's nice to see a black hero who is both smart and good, good in the old sense of committed to doing the right thing for his fellow man. His day job as a janitor in a Junior High says tons about the culture we hopefully have left behind.
