HP7 was an exciting ending to the series and left open a few windows for future sequels! My only complaint is that it seems like the first 350 pages could have been condensed into maybe 150 pages. Not a lot happened for the first third of the book, and it is a looong book!

Makes a strong biblical case against spanking children (and other forms of corporal punishment), and argues instead for creative and effective noncorporal means of discipline. The writing is a bit wooden and repetitive at times, but the arguments are very clear and convincing. I did lots of highlighting. The postscript on noncorporal discipline techniques is especially helpful.

This is a war story with a difference,I really liked the film, so thought I'd read the book and was not disappointed,either.
I've developed a new fear of mushrooms! Wonderful, creepy, story that would be a great read on a chilly, October night in rural New England.
Claims a ton (and by this I mean an HOUR a day) cardio is the key to weight loss...so-so.

Not that I'm well-versed on outlaws of the Old West, but I do know a little and I had never heard of Etta Place. Apparently she was a female outlaw who ran with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but little is known about her. The author of this novel took what little is known about her and filled in the blanks with fiction. The book bounces around between traditional storytelling, Etta's journal entries, newspaper articles and letters from the Sundance Kid to his father. The format makes it really easy to read and kept me from getting bored. There were a few parts where I felt like I was watching scenes in a movie, they were so well-described. And the inclusion of Eleanor Roosevelt into the story was VERY interesting. I would give this book three and a half stars, but once again that isn't possible so I settled for three. I may go on an Old West kick now and start reading more from that time period.

Another library find from my stacks. I am continually amazed and how well done some of these older, major published, comics are. This is no exception.

I love David Sedaris. I can see how this book is actually really really funny. But I guess I've become attached to hearing his dry voice reading his work, and I guess I prefer that. I had a hard time really "getting into" the humor in print as much.

** spoiler alert ** I am a sucker for the dark, gothic novels that take place at a majestic, English estate, where a dark mystery lurks. I loved Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Rebecca, and wihle The Little Stranger is a noble contribution to the genre, it doesn't bring anything new to the table. The book takes place in post-war England in a social climate that affords opportunities to an expanding middle class. The narrator, Dr. Faraday, is called out to Hundreds Hall to see a patient, and in doing so he becomes close friends with the Ayres family, who have run the estate for nearly two hundred years. The estate is in serious decline. The Ayres are losing pieces of the land to development, and between the three of them, they do the work that a fleet of servants once did. Others in their class are experiencing the same sea change as well in which the landed gentry are losing their significance in society. On the other side of this is Dr. Faraday, who's mother once worked in the household. Although being a doctor is a step up for him, Faraday keenly remembers the feeling of being a part of the lower class. Unlike some of their peers who are adapting to the change, the Ayres hold on to the old way of life in a such a way that almost seems ridiculous. They are only able to afford one full-time servant, who lives on the premises, Betty, a young country girl. Betty is too young to understand or have experienced what servant life was once like at Hundreds Hall and wishes she could work in a factory like most other girls her age. Betty is made to wear a servants uniform that looks ludicrous on her, and at first, simply out of formality, she is made to sleep in the servants quarters all by her lonesome self. Betty is but one example of how the Ayres cling to their traditions. Still, I couldn't help but feel for them. These decorums had once been a part of their daily lives, and they faithfully preserve them, because that is the world they know. **SPOILER BELOW** And what about the ghost story? To my disappointment it was very understated. I will say as little as I can about it, so as not to ruin the pleasure of reading these scenes. It is not until over a hundred pages in that the first creepy thing happens, but when it does, it is really creepy. About two hundred pages later, something infinitely more creepy happens, and then at the end, something mysterious and inexplicable. And that's about it. We never find out what caused these phenomena, but any curious reader will consider the possibilities. Is it the long-deceased Colonel, who was once master of the estate? Is it the first born daughter, who died of a childhood illness? Is it the "wicked servant" to which Betty refers? We never find out, but it is not the open-ended ending that bothered me. It is that none of these possibilities were explored. Dr. Faraday is stubbornly skeptical throughout the book and refuses to consider even for a moment that the creepy occurrences are the result of something supernatural. It is not until the very end when he fleetingly entertains the notion. Perhaps if he had been more curious, we might have learned something. Waters is an excellent writer. She writes with precision and exquisite detail, and for that the book is worth five stars. But I felt pulled in two different directions with the story. It was more about the decreasing influence of the upper class and an estate in decline than it was about a mysterious force that haunts this majestic house. The two could very well be connected. Perhaps the house is agitated by its impending ruin, or maybe it's the dead little girl. Maybe its the old way of life sounding a death knell, or maybe it's the Ayres themselves breaking under the enormous stress they're under to preserve it. Again, not only do we never find out, but the possibilities aren't even explored. Waters had a prime opportunity to reconcile these two story lines, and it left me wanting more.

This book was soooooo good. I love the way it was told a little backwards, revisiting parts of her past as she was dying. It made the book more interesting to read and kept you focused. The narrator's voice was unique. She seemed to think she was going to die and then decided to pull through for those who needed her most in the end. Up until the end i thought she would move on but when her friends and extended family came to see her in the hospital and told her to push through i almost cried. It was such a sweet story about how there are people in your life who care for you besides your immediate family.

Tarihte ilginç bir dönem, Jamestown ve Powatan'ınkilerle birlikte, gelişen ABD'deki İngiliz ve Kızılderili ilişkilerinin tonunu belirledi. Kitabın sesli bir versiyonunu kullandım ve basılı kopyasını alsaydım her şeyi halledip edemeyeceğimi bilmiyorum. Anlatıcıya alıştım, ama tarzı hiç sevmedim - "Aman Tanrım, ve sonra bu oldu!" Kitap, birincil kaynakları ve yerel ayarları arayarak daha fazlasını keşfetmemi sağladı.
İnsanların bunu en sevdikleri kitap listesine eklediklerini görüyorum ve bu aslında karanlık kule kitabı değil, karanlık kule çizgi romanlarında 1. kitap. Sadece kaç kişinin gerçekten hayran olmadığını göstermeye gidiyor. Bu çizgi romanlar Stephen King'in farklı bir yazı türüne girme şeklidir. Çizgi romanlar, Roland'ın silahşör olduğu, ancak bir çizgi roman olarak sunulduğu bir savaşın tarihine giriyor. GENIUS!
