Even though I try to avoid Oprah's books, I saw these brothers on her show and loved them. This book has great descriptions of these brothers' adventures, and gave me the travel bug (even if I haven't acted on that travel bug yet).

I think it's great to see the Brothers increasing the number of their tough female counterparts! First, we get Xhex and now we have Payne. There is a softness to Payne that I think makes her more suitable to mate with a human (ie. Dr. Manello in this case). Payne and Manny get hot and heavy AND we get to see V and Jane work through some of their issues. While the first few books focused more on the Brother that was finding their mate, this book also dealt with the issues of the others in the group. I'm getting totally caught up in the Blay/Saxton/Qhuinn situation and hope that it gets resolved soon. Also, Layla seems to be figuring in to the storyline more and more. Maybe she will hook up with someone from Xcor's group (Throe??)...

very engaging story - definitely a page-turner that I couldn't put down. was a little disappointed by the ending, but still highly recommend it.

Everyone who has had an American history course either needs to read this book or have a good friend who has read it. James Loewen walks the reader step by step through major events in American history and separates common myths from facts. He shows that what commonly passes for history is simply patriotic myths that are designed to cause school children to become "good citizens." He then makes the point that history would me much more effective and relevant if it presented the controversies still being debated instead of regurgitating feel-good stories about American heroes (or perhaps worse--making students memorize dates and places of events that have little to do with what is going on in the world today!). Exposing schoolchildren to controversy helps them understand why there are differences in thinking today and helps them to formulate their own views. It is more important to teach students how to think and learn the facts for themselves instead of simply telling them what to think. Loewen is also very skeptical of the approach to American history through the viewpoint of European Americans. Starting with Columbus and going through the Pilgrims, the Founding Fathers, the Civil War leaders, Reconstructionists, the Civil Rights Movement to today, he shows how racism emphasizing white supremacy has always been what determines U.S. policy. He warns that teaching history as if the only important matters are what white men did isolates students of other backgrounds, which will continue to harbor attitudes of intolerance in the States. Lastly, Loewen suggests several practical matters dealing with how history can be taught better. He claims that history is so poorly being taught that it is the only subject in which more education leads to more ignorance. The chief problem lies in the way textbooks are written with no coherence and no accountability for the truth. There is a great gap between what is in textbooks and what can be found in primary and secondary sources. Teachers also can be responsible for making history boring and avoiding or distorting anything controversial. Personally, the book was quite enlightening. If you have not studied much about history reconstruction, I would suggest starting with Lies My Teacher Told Me.

I liked this book. It helped me understand how hard it would be for a woman, and a black one in the south in that time period to get along.

This book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 and I can see why. Some critics have less than liked the simplicity of his prose and purposeful minimalist grammar style(irregular use of commas, apostrophes, and other grammatical nuances). I absolutely think fits with the book. McCarthy leaves the reader with nothing to cling to but hope itself. He strips away typical life, comfort, and "normal" experiences that might give hope and makes you face humanity at its best, and at its worst. McCarthy makes you ask the question - "What's left when nothing is left?" A heartbreaking, gripping, disturbing, and terribly beautiful story of a man and his son who are striving desperately to "carry the fire" in a desolate post-apocalyptic world. This one will stay with you long after you've put it down. The Road is about a journey you hope you never have to make, and yet, you are making it every day.

I liked the original artist better but the story is still great.

Toni Morrison's Beloved is one of the greatest achievements of the 20th Century. Studying the present state of African-American existence and slavery's long reach into people's lives today in the United States, Beloved gets a constantly discussed and debated social and political message across through the use of surrealism. The aspect of Beloved that is truly profound is not the character development (which is deep and well-crafted) or the presentation of Morrison's main intent (which is both elusive and subtle and unwavering and direct, if that is possible). No, what makes Beloved a touchstone in literature is the truly bizarre components of the book. How about a chapter spoken by a ghost? But is she a ghost? It is awesome. Writing a quality surrealistic novel is a tall order. Having it be about black American's plight is even taller. Morrison pulls both off like no other. She is one of our ultimate, peerless literary voices.

Awesome book and author of great integrity and writing skill. Received the Pulitzer Prize. Two inter-related personal stories woven around the conquest of the American West. Re-read the book just recently, and plan to again at some future date.
