I might come back to this when the third book is released. What bugged me in the second half of the first book is too prevalent in the first 50 pages of this one. I also seem to be in a very small minority of folks who do not enjoy Kaleb much at all so the fact he's the narrator here doesn't do this book any favors (for me).

this was pretty intense - i liked it overall, enjoyed the drawings of the unconcious. it only gets three stars because i actually think it was a little long - not much happened other than a little boy trying to live with and understand his brother's epilepsy.

Typical, it takes me a month to start to get through this book and I read the last 200+ pages in a day... I read about 100 pages of this book in the beginning of last month but put it down due to lack of time and not really wanting to read when I did have time. A reading slump probably. The problem with stopping at page 111 is that, once I got back to this book, it was as if I had started from the beginning as I felt surprised once things started happening all of a sudden. I realised after finishing the book that I was just out of whack from not picking this book up for almost a month. Now to the actual book. I hated feeling so hopeless for the characters as the failed time and time again. I knew that had to do it somehow and realised it had something to do with the gate thing before they did. Speaking of which, I know it was vital for the end, but Alex, come on...that was a terrible idea. Despite knowing what happened to him going in to this book, it was still extremely upsetting to read, especially because of the pain that Willow and the other characters felt. (view spoiler) It was a horrible mistake that Alex made and he had to pay for it a little bit at least. The final battle; where do I begin? There is so much I could say about this but I wouldn't know where to start. What I will say it that it was almost too easy. Not like, they didn't give up anything and they had an easy road, but that there were so many problems cropping up throughout the book: (view spoiler) In the end, all it took was one thing that Willow did and it all seemed to be solved. I know that's how it tends to happen in books like this and Willow did sacrifice a lot to make it happen, but it just seemed more noticeable in this book. I am missing so much in this "review". All the other stuff that happened, all the people that died and the whole Sebastian thing - which I think panned out exactly as it should've - but there's just too much. One more thing I will say though...The ending was perfect. A bit cheesy at times, but I didn't mind too much because it wrapped up so nicely that I couldn't not be happy with it.

this book is pretty good if you have an interest in severe mental illness. it's a personal account of years spent in a mental institution. a more legit review from brainwashed.com is below: In 1893, after having served as a judge, he fell ill at the age of 51. Diagnosed as a paranoiac, he spent the next seven years in an asylum, early on mute before the assaults of his hallucinations and only gradually returning to speech with revelations of his bizarre and overwhelming religious experiences. Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, republished by New York Review Books, is his account of those events and written with full confidence in the truth of his visions. Schreber's problem was God. As his visions showed him, God was a vast net of nerve fibers, all taken from the human corpses, cleansed and raised to blessedness. But sometime in the past, one of these nervous souls committed soul murder and the result upset the Order of the World, causing his own ailment. He believed himself to be unique in the history of the earth in exerting an unnatural attraction upon God, whose rays reached down from the stars to lodge themselves in his body. The more they did so, the more feminized he became. And the more female he became, the more he had to worry that God intended to change his sex altogether, then humiliate and rape him, so he could give birth to a new race. He argues with the sun and receives messages from birds; voices shout at him constantly, as God, hoping to sever contact with Schreber, tries to make him completely demented. God "did not really understand the living human being and had no need to understand him, because, according to the Order of the World, He dealt only with corpses." God perpetually afflicts Schreber, pouring corpse juice into his brain, and much as he realizes the absurdity of saying it, Schreber must admit that everything that happens is in reference to him, from the insects that pester him when he closes his eyes to the "bellowing-miracle" which explodes his fits of soul-voluptuousness. He writes rationally and clearly, taking dictation from the voices in his head: "Bad news came in from all sides that even this or that star or group of stars had to be 'given up'; at one time it was said that even Venus had been 'flooded,' at another that the whole solar system would now have to be 'disconnected,' that the Cassopeia (the whole group of stars) had had to be drawn together into a single sun, that perhaps only the Pleiades could still be saved. . . ." One of his doctors figures as an especially malevolent presence, perhaps the original soul murderer, in any case now a diabolical figure trying to wrest souls from God to gain power, while poor Schreber gets in the way. The world he constructs is coherent and gloriously imaginative, sometimes beautiful and often horrifying. It is a madness which has long struggled with and finally found its voice.

Who would think that going to a 40 year high school reunion could be so funny? Several chapters introduce the characters several days before the big event. There is the full-of-himself jock, the cheerleaders, the nerds, the queen of the prom, etc. And there's plenty of fantasy of how the evening will end. It turns out it's true that when people go to a reunion, they become who they were and the role they had in high school. Except that some of those people didn't really feel the way they acted, they were just afraid to go against the tide and now they aren't. For the last couple of chapters I just couldn't stop laughing at the antics when the reunion is finally winding down, the last dance is to be danced, and there are tears, and truths revealed. Excellent reading, good characters, and am I ever so glad I didn't attend my reunion!

SPK Lisanslama Sınavları İleri Düzey Serisi: 3 Genel Ekonomi ve Mali Sistem TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: On İki Levha Yayınları

1984’s When You Fight the Tiger profiles the day-to-day life of 16 year old Tana Helfer, daughter of famed exotic animal trainers, as she works and plays on the family’s animal compound, Gentle Jungle. The company raises and trains animals for work on the sets of movies, TV, and commercials. The title of the book refers to young Tana’s greatest dream—to wrestle a tiger who has been trained to “attack” on cue. Tana begins her day in the elephant barn. The author writes: The four elephants—Debbie, Lisa, Taj and Dixie—are swaying and shifting their weight from side to side. Does she realize she’s just described classic elephant stereotypic weaving ? Like many captive performing elephants, these animals live a considerable part of their day at the end of a chain. [W]hen Debbie raises her chained foot, Tana leans over and unclips the restraining chain that is bolted to the floor, and walks the elephant to the center of the barn. … It’s a brisk ten-minute walk past cages and pens to the field that is the elephants’ daytime home. … When they arrive, Tana uses the chains that are staked into the ground to tether the elephants. A ten-minute walk isn’t much for animals that are genetically programmed to roam and forage most of the day. And while the text proudly notes that the tether chains give them 15-to-20 feet of movement, that isn’t much for an elephant! And all of that standing still, chaining and weaving can’t be good for their feet. In other concerns, one of the book’s photos reveals that one elephant’s tail is shaped in a rather severe zigzag, looking as if it was once broken and had not set properly. An old injury that perhaps didn’t happen at the ranch? The text does not reveal. If there’s anything more worrisome than elephants in show business, it’s apes in show business. Gentle Jungle has several, including Michael, 7-month-old chimpanzee. The text reads: When the Helfers got Michael he was very young and in need of mothering, so Tana happily raised him at home. When Michael was six months old, everyone decided it was time for him to get adjusted to ranch life. There is no hint to as where the family “got” Michael, or what happened with his original mother. A rather troublesome thought, I might add. I likewise winced at a large photo of Tana carrying Michael piggyback. The infant ape is fully dressed, with a tiny child’s sweater, blue jeans, and even footie socks. Michael is already used to wearing clothes, and that’s part of every young performing chimp’s education. And every young performing ape eventually becomes an extremely strong, potentially dangerous, and moody adult animal who can no longer be safely worked with. I love a baby chimpanzee’s antics as much as anyone, but the story of apes in entertainment, overall, is a very sad one. The author reminds readers, Orangutans and chimpanzees are a constant challenge, for the willful, bright animals continually test their trainers to see who has the upper hand. The trainer has to keep his or her psychological dominance over the ape. C.J. [the orangutan] could send Bill, or any trainer, sprawling through the air if he wanted to. And where, exactly do these apes come from? When they wanted a young orangutan, Boone was dispatched to a zoo that had some young orangs for sale. It seems almost as if things were a free-for-all before the American Zoo Association made that rule about only allowing transfers of animals to other AZA-accredited facilities. This is good policy, especially with desperately endangered creatures like orangutans. The danger of free contact with other species is duly noted. The author describes the practice of using backup trainers who carry sturdy wooden canes, in addition to the main trainers who interact with the animals. Hitting an animal with the wooden cane that backup trainers carry would not hurt an animal, but it could divert the animal’s attention from its course of action, giving the trainer a chance to regain control. Tara is shown wrestling a large black bear. Apparently this is a normal part of their acting training, but it brings to mind—uncomfortably—the barroom “bear wrestling” acts that once toured the country. In other discomforts, there’s also a “humorous” aside that has Tara capturing some ducklings on the ranch in order to cuddle and kiss them. The girl is lunging forward on her knees and reaching into the flock of ducklings, who are clearly running from her at such a speed that some appear in the photographs as blurs. The mother duck is also running but is also looking backwards at her ducklings and Tara as she does so. What of the training regimen? In the nearly three decades since this book was published, the steady flow of undercover videos from circuses, stage acts, and other animal training venues has caused more than one informed person to look askance at the industry. According to the author, Gentle Jungle is not one of the bad guys: -Years ago, when most animal trainers were old circus performers who cracked whips and carried guns and clubs, Ralph Helfer developed a new approach to educating wild animals. He called it affection training. … Affection Trained animals, proved to be more responsive and dependable than animals who were worked through fear, and Ralph’s methods were accepted. … All the animals at Gentle Jungle are Affection Trained. Trainers respect their animals. No guns, whips, or clubs are used. The animals are encouraged to learn. Some receive food rewards, all are praised and petted. The animals work because they want to. Many are primarily motivated by a desire to please their trainers. “Animal People News,” a publication I highly respect, also puts in some good words for Gentle Jungle: This company [Gentle Jungle] pioneered the use of affectionate nonviolent training methods in Hollywood as Africa, USA; merged with Marine World in 1985; and disappeared in name, though some of the animals may survive, when Marine World Africa USA became Six Flags Marine World in 1998. Yet a letter writer from the group Primarily Primates had this to add in the same publication: Gentle Jungle was then closed down by a USDA investigation and an eventual lawsuit against Helfer for Animal Welfare Act violations. “Mother Jones” magazine had some more troubling and detailed information to add: Clyde the orangutan died a few months after filming Any Which Way You Can in 1980. During a federal hearing alleging animal mistreatment against the training company, Gentle Jungle, an assistant claimed a trainer beat Clyde with a cane and an ax handle. Gentle Jungle was fined for other abuses, but not for harming Clyde -- at the time abusing primates was not illegal. Continues the author of When You Fight the Tiger, Wild animal trainers who are in this league possess a high energy level, quick physical responses, and an almost natural species-to-species rapport with wild animals that enables them to dominate with ease.
