I loved it! There are some great clinical stories. At times, it gets a little sciencey, but learning never hurt anyone. :)

A must-read for Colette-freaks, like myself.

Go beneath the bloody layers of severed arms and broken skulls crushed by horses' hoofs. Keep breathing, you'll soon be beyond the stench of sweating, terrified men dying of punctured bowel wounds. Keep listening to the poetry, because below the high pitched screams of the women being raped lie several stories of bravery and cowardice, regular as heartbeats, and as you reach the end you'll recognize that stories of strength and honor have been thrumming through the gore since page one. Yes, we're expected to like characters who keep sex slaves. But keep reading. Women are property in this violent universe and Homer was no feminist. We are expected to feel Aristotle's pity and fear for the warriors while feeling nothing for the voiceless women they kidnap and rape. Once, however, we get past the battlefield and behind the walls of Troy into a more domestic sphere, the women become people, not things. Helen, Hecuba and Andromache seem as familiar to us as our college roommates, once we are off the battlefield. IF one can get past the misogyny--and I'm not sure I ever did--what the reader reaches is a series of timeless stories: Achilles and his tendency to translate every emotion into rage; Agamemnon as a childish, inept leader; and the strongest and most beautiful of the stories, Hector's love for his wife and family and his willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good. Oh, yeah. It certainly DOES glorify war and has been used as pro-war propaganda for thousands of years. As a recovering military brat of sorts, I knew the U of C works about war--and GOD there are so MANY-- would be a challenge for me. A frequently assigned paper topic for undergrads is deciding whether or not the Iliad glorifies war. I don't think a 19 year old who has never served can answer that question. I work in a rough neighborhood in a public library that is across the street from a VFW hall. The VFW hall serves beer in the morning. I've heard war story confessions that make Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket seem like Disney movies. Make no mistake-the Iliad glorifies war, no matter what the corpse count is. It leaves out the worst. Introduce yourself to a homeless, brain-fried PTSD frizzled Vietnam Vet in the park someday and you'll begin to get the picture. (Shout out to Royroy and Rayray, where ever you are. Keep drinking Ice House, guys.) The rage of Achilles is presented as a purifying killing spree, a cleansing and orgiastic fire of anger and wrath that helps win the war for the Greeks. It even made me want to be Achilles, to be relieved of a conscience, to be freed from seeing other people as human. Agamemnons and Machiavellis and Hitlers and Bushes throughout history have used this poem to release and sanctify the rage in the peasant classes. This work helps funnel the young, dumb, poor and angry into futile wars for corrupt leaders. Few undergrads know enough about war or the corruption of leaders throughout history to see how this brutal, bloody poem makes anger and violence seem so very, very necessary; and absolutely beautiful; and without repercussion.

This book makes me want to move back to Gunnison, Utah. That town met all the criteria for an affluenza-free environment. Great town.

This book was really good. Somehow I always end up choosing books which are in a series. I said to myself that after this book, I would not read the others in the Annie Valentine series, as I have many books in my room ready to read. However, Carmen Reid has ended the book in such a way that you feel you have to read the next book in the series to find out what happens next. The book was interesting and great for girlies who love a good-read. Fantastic!

Beautifully written but the premise - a woman discovers that her beloved husband was leading a double life when his plane is blown up over the Atlantic - is over-wrought. The fundamental question of whether one can every truly know another person can be portrayed in far more intimate and believable interactions. Using such a dramatic example demonstrates a lack of trust of one's audience that I found off-putting.

parsipur uses magical realism to allow the women in her stories to transcend the boundaries of their oppressed roles in society. she also gives many of them obnoxious personalities.

Good book. Not like I thought it would be like but still had to keep reading it to find out more. The Connection between Sam and Jennifer is a strong one and yet Jennifer finds out so much more about Sam throughout the book.

Sarah Vowell is a squeaky little genius, and is also the best you can hope for in a popular historian: intelligent, entertaining, skewed, explicitly honest in her politics, and always on the lookout for patterns in the weave of history. This last can get tiresome at times - she sometimes gives funny coincidences as many column-inches as true historical trends - but it's forgiveable, particularly in a book that inspires this much thought.

This novel is a glorious illustration of dystopian literature. Rick Deckard is a character that can easily be related to and empathized with. You really feel with him everything, every question, every pull, every pluck. Your mind twists and turns with every twist and turn of the story and in the end you feel a sense of fatigue along with the main character. Don't expect a story that follows the path of the movie this novel inspired. They are two separate entities asking your to follow a similar philosophical path.
