I'm not usually that into historical non-fiction. I know I should be, so I typically read 2-3 a year, like eating literary broccoli. Aimee and Jaguar was a pleasant surprise! This is a compelling and educational read about two female lovers set against the backdrop of Nazi Germany. I laughed, I cried, I kept turning the pages well after my bedtime...

Here are Hansel and Gretel like you've never seen them. In nine chapters the children are cast into situations that are unfair, frightening and sometimes downright horrible, as they discover the adults in their lives are no help at all and they must take care of themselves. There are happy endings but only after "awesome" things happen. You are warned when you open the book - "Reader: beware. But if you dare, Come on in." This is a great scary book for ages 10 and up - no sugary sweet tales here! But the narrator enters the scenes every now and then to provide us with information and a little bit of humor: "I'm sorry. I need to stop for a moment. I don't know what your'e thinking right now, but when I first heardthis part of the story, I thought, "What, is he crazy?" Fans of Lemony Snicket, fractured or traditional fairy tales, scary or funny books - check out this book.

Long yes, but you should think of it in terms of watching a complete television series, with several seasons. It's truly an epic, with amazing characters that become your friends as you follow them through the years. WHATEVER you do, DO NOT watch the 1960's movie or use that movie to judge this masterpiece. Like saying I'd never go to Paris because I didn't like Disney Epcot Center's France booth in Florida.

This book is mind blowing. It is John Steinbeck at his sharpest. He said that every author really only has one "book," and that all of his books leading up to East of Eden were just practice--Eden would be his book. I could write a summary of the book, but it would be more trouble than it's worth. You will often hear it referred to as a "modern retelling of the Genesis story of Cain and Abel" but that is too simplistic. Steinbeck takes the story of Cain and Abel and makes Cain (in the form of Cal Trask) the sympathetic character. Cal Trask does not act destructively for the sake of destruction, but he is desperately clawing for approval and love from his father, Adam, who prefers Cal's twin brother, Aron. The story isn't that pat, though--Cal and Aron really don't make their entrances as major characters until the last quarter of the 600 page novel. So, to say that this book is simply the retelling of Cain and Abel is to oversimplify the book. The main theme of the book is the desire within everyone for love, and how this desire can make people turn to destructive behavior. This book has been criticized for being too verbose, meandering, inconsistently paced, and heavy handed in its parallel with the story of Cain and Abel. Yes, it is verbose and meandering, but that's Steinbeck. It gives a full picture of the Salinas valley. It gives you insights and perspectives you might not otherwise have. If anything, Steinbeck's constant forays into unrelated sidebars give the reader a break in pace, a rest that makes the more important parts of the books feel as though they flow more smoothly. As for the parallel with Cain and Abel, it is heavy-handed. That being said, the heavy-handedness didn't bother me. Going in to the novel with the expectation of it being a retelling of Cain and Abel (at least for some of the narrative) is enough to make the obvious references to Cain and Abel seem natural. If Steinbeck had given the impression that he was trying to hide the parallel, it would have been insulting. But Steinbeck isn't trying to hide it--he makes it clear that the story of Cain and Abel are an integral part of his story. East of Eden is an amazing novel. Its strong points more than compensate for the very few shortcomings. Steinbeck is such a tremendous writer that his shortcomings become strengths. I highly recommend it.

Shortest review possible: the greatest hits of church leadership blogger, Tony Morgan (http://tonymorganlive.com/). Slightly longer review: A collection of musings & thoughts on leadership, vision, change & life. It's not that Tony is saying new "I've never thought of that before!" stuff on each page... it's that he's reframing key issues in eye-opening ways and using personal stories to make his points crystal-clear. I keep finding myself wanting to find the original post & send it to my volunteer leaders or stick it up on my blog. Excellent resource for church leaders... esp. those who don't follow blogs and can't understand what all the fuss is about. UPDATE: re-reading this in 2012...
