I enjoyed the book, probably because I like distopian novels, its always interesting to read what people are worried about for future societies. It was a bit hard to follow the narrater at times, you are reading his written account of his jumbled thoughts and account of events.

Book -- fast, fast read but kind of foolish. Gideon becaomes a super hero overnight and the killing is unreal. I do not believe that I will be following Gideon. Sorry P/C

This book was not for me. I was drawn to it by the title and the synopsis on the back. It was, to be frank, extremely "out there". From the description, i expected a humorous short story involving, for some reason, furniture porn. I did not expect there to be layers. Normally, I appreciate subtext in the stories I read. Here however, it seemed extremely cluttered. There were messages about Identity, servitude, dreams, hopes, America, freedom and liberty, just to name a few. It was too much to handle in such a short story. The ending felt rather rushed and almost tacked on, and it was hard to get a handle on many of the characters, as they were very one dimensional and in many ways alike to one another. Hard to differentiate, i guess is what I am trying to say. Also, it was extremely difficult to understand why the furniture was used in the way it was. I think there is a message there about the nature of media and entertainment, but WHY FURNITURE? I can see that this book might have an audience for it somewhere, but it was not for me. I expected more humor and less musing on the nature of things.

Khaled Hosseini has done a beautiful job of portraying the different stages Afghanistan and its people went through. In this historical finction the lives of women and the torture they face are all real things that happened in that time period. Most women are not that fortunate like Laila. The images of Kabul took me to the familiar images portrayed in our old family albums, because I was about two when we fled the country. Still, I felt homesick, even though the U.S. is the only home I have ever known. The beautiful farsi words used in the book, the familiar famous poets and singers mentioned and the routine of cultural practices that still exist among various Afghans in the community were very comforting and familiar. The amazing spirit of Mariam left me in tears, as I obssessively read the book... yet each time I closed the book I remembered the image of Nana hanging from a tree. I was haunted by that image. Mariam's story begins in a small town just outside of Herat where she grows up in seclusion as a "bastard" born out of wedlock to a rich man named Jalil and his servant Nana in 1959. So begins the ill faith of Mariam. Laila is born 15 years later, in Kabul, across the street from where Mariam has ended up, married to an abusive man in his mid-40's, named Rasheed. Laila is born to a father who was a professor and both of her parents are well educated and "modern" for that era. Laila has a best friend named Tariq who is two years older and they have known eachother all of Laila's life. Laila's mother, Mammy, also suffers from depression, because her two sons have gone to war leaving her neglectful to her daughter. Soon the horrors of war reaches Laila's happy life, leaving her completely alone. Mariam and Laila's life binds together by unfortunate circumstances, and they both find friendship and love in eachother as they fight their daily battles together. Mariam and Laila's story represents the many stories of women in Afghanistan, facing unbelieveable tortures in society during the war. I am very hopeful for the future of Afghanistan as I hear that women's rights are being enforced. I hear of women freely walking on the streets, going to school and working without being forced to cover. While women are being educated about their freedom, I hope that men, too, will be educated about being civil in their homes. Maybe domestic abuse will become a thing of the past too someday. (I tried not to have any spoilers.)

So my mother found a stack of book reviews I did in elementary school as part of my class competition for who could read the most books in one year. In her endless quest to clean out my paraphernalia from her house, they are now with me. I guess there were shades of GR back then--I won. Here is a random book review from the middle of the pack. Warning, I was a terrible and still am a terrible speller. Thank goodness for spell check! Otherwise I probably would have had to become an engineer :)

This book satsified my craving for an alternate world with a smart and brave heroin and a hot (really hot) hero. I haven't felt this connected to characters in a long time. I couldn't put it down and read it in less than a day. I cannot wait for book two!!!!! Or three!! Read this!

I was excited to find out that Simak is a Wisconsinite as well. This book is nice and tight. Not over long and keeps you engaged, despite a writing style which seems leisurely. Here's a longer review I wrote for StarShipSofa blog: Prompted by the lads here at StarShipSofa and by the fact that Simak is a SF author who I'd never heard of from my home State of Wisconsin, and by the fortuitous happenstance of visiting a friend who had 5 or 6 Simak novels on her shelves, I decided to read Way Station. I am so glad I did! It's really a wonderful little book with lots to satisfy all types of SF fans. There are plenty of gadgets for the techie fans and there's plenty of philosophising for the fans of Soft SF. Way Station is the story of Enoch Wallace, who, in 1967 is about 120 years old. He comes to the attention of some government officials in Intelligence, who just can't seem to figure him out, but suspect that he is much more than meets the eye. They are right. He's the Gate Keeper or Station Master of an intergalactic station for travelers on long trips between member worlds. Earth is not a member and Enoch is the only person on Earth who knows about the station and indeed the extra-terrestrial world itself. While inside the station he doesn't age, which accounts for the fact that he looks 30 years old although everyone outside knows he is an American Civil War Veteran, or so the legend goes by this time. He has met many aliens over the course of the years and learned much about the universe, but there is still so much he doesn't know or understand. For almost 100 years his neighbors, few and far between as they are, have left him alone. Such is the way of life in rural South-Western Wisconsin. Now, however, a meddling government agent has stirred things up. Things seem to be coming to a head, not only in Enoch 'sown little world, but on Earth as the world appears to be heading towards war yet again, and also within the Galactic Collective itself. Enoch is very contemplative, which seems fitting for someone who spends most of his time alone. This appears to be common in Simak's writing though. Some of the themes he contemplates are: war and the futility of it; the vastnesss of the universe and of the intelligence within it; the idea of a universal life-force or God, which seems to have been proven as fact in the Galactic Collective; Earth's place in the universe and Enouch's place in the world as "Earthman" and the person who represents Earth. This last theme spoke to me. I identify with Enoch as a displaced person, someone who can't escape his heritage (Enoch's as a person of Earth, mine as an "American") but by nature of his contact with the universe boyond Earth (and mine outside the United States), he has become more than (or simply different to?) an Earthman. This book is brief - probably what would be considered a novella these days - but it is dense. Full of ideas and imagination, dense but imminently readable. Simak wraps things up admirably at the end, weaving the many seemingly random threads of narrative and ideas into a beautiful tapestry.

This book is amazing. I can't believe that this is a true story. To me, it's more intense than Alive. For anyone to have ever gone through such horrible trauma and not give up on life is an incredible testament to character, I envy Louie Zamperini.
