minor hamsun novella. not as great as his prime works, but still a worthwhile and pleasurable read.

4-09 I really didn't care for this book, and it was quite an effort to get through it. It was for book club. We all read the blurb and decided that it sounded great, but I think we've been let down. I had a lot of trouble with her writing style. It jumped erratically from one thought to another when characters were talking and thinking. That drove me nuts. Also hated that there were no quotation marks. Just those dash things, which made it confusing figuring out what was spoken, and what was thought. Couldn't find a single character to like or identify with. I just wanted to give Ruben a kick in the butt for being so gloomy and self centered. Are we supposed to like the character of Berry? She was just awful. Hated what she did at the end of the book. I had to force myself to get through it.

A super quick read, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs Basil E. Frankweiler was delightful. The story chronicles the adventures of two young siblings who run away together to live in the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. When they discover a museum piece with an unknown origin they are led to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the narrator of the tale, and a piece of information that will change their lives.

true story about a mysterious murder. I didn't know it was true till I got to the last page though and read the authors statement. Really funny at times and entertaining. I highly recommend it.

some typos and minor issues with accurate mileages - but it's a first issue and was rushed to meet the demands of the '08 hiking season. an invaluable tool for my thru-hike and the only source of information i used. it wasn't unusual for hikers with other, more traditional guidebooks to ask if they could look at mine.

i always get this book mixed up with brave new world but this is also a favorite sci fi book.

I don't know...I used to like this book a lot, but not so much anymore. I respect Ram Dass and think his service to humanity has been positive overall-- but the dudes name is Richard Alpert.

A razor whirlwind of nostalgia that cuts the readers almost as much as it does the main character. Cliche themes like love, death and the passage of time are dealt with in acceptable manner. One thing to note within the story is the backdrop of hypocritical student movements who promote anti-capitalism in the 60's. It is something that most college students can relate to, for it prooves to be universal and timeless even as of today. Although this book can be enjoyed by mostly anyone, sophomores and lonesome sex-crazed "young" adults will get the most out of it.

This was one rare book that I could not put down. I finished the almost 300 pages within 10 days. What carried me through was the feeling Conley gave you as if you were right there in Beijing with the family, her vivid descriptions of the streets and scenery and the personal transformation she went through following cancer. I love stories where the author or characters have unexpected personal transformations. However, the booked was peppered with hints of ethnocentrism and American superiority. As an Indian American, I’ve had to tolerate and swallow the often subtle jabs at my cultural heritage…the “your culture is weird,” attitude. Because of this, it is easy for me to pick up these innuendos in cross-cultural or travel books such as Conley’s book. For example, within the book’s first few sentences, she writes, and “would we live on a road called Yongdingmen?” a statement which was preceded by the distance she feels by hearing those names. Well, although these names mean nothing to me, this tone or comment screams “how weird, unlike ‘Main Street,’ where I live.” Then later in the book, when she goes for a follow-up doctor’s appointment at an international hospital in Beijing, she is shocked to learn that her attending nurse has never heard of Israel. Here, Conley implies that the nurse is ignorant (or more like stupid) for not knowing about the Middle East and its reverberations. She wonders if the Chinese even know about the Holocaust and historical facts. My response was, so what? Maybe it doesn’t affect them. And, I’m sure there are historical incidences that occurred in Asia that we Americans don’t know about. A review on Amazon said her talk about cancer made the story self-centered. I disagree. I think she weaved her cancer story seamlessly and very effectively within the China story. Overall, however, even though the book made me twinge at times, I stuck with the book and had a great adventure of living in China, something which she seemed to open up about as the book went on. Now, I’m not saying the Conley herself is ethnocentric, but it’s just the way Americans are “raised,” and that’s what came out in this book. In the end, she did manage to get past the ethnocentrism and elicit an appreciation for China and the Chinese culture. I only wish she had put some photographs in. I might read some of her other books!
