very good...takes place right before the Civil War.....I always learn things I had not thought about before concerning how women lived their lives in different periods of history.....this is one of the things about Sandra Dallas' books that I especially like.

This is written like Nineteen minutes with each characters story a new chapter. It's about a guy on death row and a family who is tied to him. It keeps you guessing what is happening and where the story is going. I couldn't put it down.

ARGH! Kevin Brockmeier is one of the few authors who fills me with despair. Because I will never never be able to write like this. Pure freakin' genius.

I reread this book recently. As with all Michner books, it is a sweeping historical novel. This one centers on a tel in Israel. The story is framed by an archealogical dig at tel Makor with each of the layers of the tel revealing a bit of the story of Makor. It encompasses pre-history through the 1960s. It is really fascinating and comprises most of my knowledge of the history of the Middle East - I know I shouldn't let a novel do that, but hey, better that than a movie! At times it is hard to wade through simply because of the sheer volume of it, but Michner is a superb storyteller and that paired with the fascinating subject matter makes it well worth the effort.

A very underrated book, as fascinating in its portrayal of genius as Of Human Bondage was in its portrayal of love and emotional maturity.

There are many reasons this review was posted late and backdated which I won't get into here. Suffice to say I have been meaning to write this review for months but have been putting it off because I knew that once I wrote the review I would have to admit that Alice's adventures were done--no small task let me assure you. Onward . . . Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last (2006) is the stunning conclusion to Susan Juby's debut trilogy (preceeded by Alice, I Think and its sequel Miss Smithers). You might recognize Juby's name from the 2009 Edgar Awards where Getting the Girl was a nominee. This installment opens with the first scene from Alice's screenplay "Of Moose and Men"--a creative work loosely based on her own life. Excerpts of the screenplay are sprinkled throughout the novel. The writing is overwrought, exaggerated, and provides hysterical insight into Alice's psyche throughout the story. In addition to being Alice's latest career of choice, writing her screenplay also helps this sixteen-year-old heroine make sense of the chaos that has become her life. At the beginning of the story, Alice's boyfriend Goose is moving with his family to Glasgow for an entire year only to go away to university on the other end of Canada when he finally returns. Dealing with this heartbreak is bad enough on its own. Then Alice's mother, a somewhat aggressive environmentalist, is thrown in jail as a result of her activist activities. That leaves Alice, her younger brother, and her father on their own. To say that this development leaves the family less than functional would be a vast understatement. The one constant in Alice's life seems, ironically, to be Death Lord Bob--her ineffectual therapist from the Teens in Transition (Not Trouble) Center in town. At least until he too is called away leaving Alice with the surly Ms. Deitrich who doesn't seem to understand anything about Alice's life let alone her highly evolved sense of style. With their matriarch breadwinner in jail Alice and her father find themselves, for the first time, looking for gainful employment. Alice's job search, and eventual employment, throw her into the paths of two brilliant characters: Wallace and Vince. Negotiating these new romantic waters, Alice finds herself caught between two equally charming suitors--one five years her senior, the other considerably her junior. The dilemma is equally difficult for readers who will likely be as attracted to these guys as Alice herself. Throughout the series, readers are able to trace Alice's evolution as a character. The girl we meet in this novel is very different from the Alice entering a traditional school (or a beauty pageant) for the first time. She is more mature, and in some ways more responsible and engaged with the world at large. More than that, though, Alice's true depth as a heroine is really apparent in this story as she not only works through but even rises above all of the (screw)balls life throws at her. Alice MacLeod, Realist at Last doesn't qualify as truly "realistic" fiction because of the humor and general madness that surrounds Alice. But Alice is still an utterly real and engaging character with a quirky sense of humor (and style) that will leave readers smiling. (I'd recommend reading the entire trilogy in sequence to fully appreciate how awesome it is, but the stories do stand alone fairly well if you happen upon them out of order.)

Another great Palahniuk. Enough said.

I don't remember why I like this book. I just do. But maybe because it is about religion, culture and politics.

Un llibre diferent, curiós, ple de reflexions que més d'una vegada en fet per nosaltres mateixos; algunes no fa molt, altres les hen olvidades des de la nostra infantesa... Amb capitols curts, és de lectura ràpida. Però has de tenir cura, perquè si les ments analítiques i amb poca sensibilitat no t'atrauen pot ser que aquest llibre no t'agradi. Les emocions no són el punt fort de Christopher, el protagonista, encara que les té... però no sempre les comprèn (menys en altres) i no sap expressar-les com altres persones. A mí em va agradar molt per la lògica aplastant que utilitza en moltes de les seves reflexions i deduccions, a més d'algunes curiositats sobre matemàtiques i ciència de les que parla (atenció al nombre de capitols! ^^). El final no me l'esperaba, per això em va agradar, perquè no em semblà predictible ni esperat. Encara que puc discutir alguns punts d'aquest final... En resum, un llibre recomanable per qui vulgui ver una reflexió sobre la vida i la gent des d'un altre punt de vista; amb una mica de humor i sensibilitat.

Truly loved this book. I look for this author's work when I want to read about young people and their struggles with life. The author is so skilled at drawing interesting characters. Thomas Finch Mackee (Tom to his friends and family) is the main character. He's sensitive, he is real, he makes mistakes and he's so real. Tom finds solace in music. He misses the only girl he loves. He misses his father. He misses his grandfather. And, he misses his uncle. Tragedy took his uncle when a fanatic blew up himself and the train in which he was riding. Vietnam took his grandfather. Alcohol took his father. His Aunt Georgie believes in him but she has her own problems. Her husband slept with another woman and they had a child but she still loves him, enough that they sleep together but don't really communicate. She becomes pregnant. So Tom is trying to work through his own emotional problems and consoling his aunt. His friends are wary of him so he's not certain who he can trust. He beings to write to the only girl he's loved. Slowly, they begin to talk through what happened. It's a good read about family, youth and its tragedies and life in general. I liked it very much.
