3 1/2 stars. I remember as a kid loving the dusty old biographies and memoirs that filled the shelves at our summer cabin in Vermont. There was something so thrilling about the photo inserts: the portraits and snapshots and letters reproduced to supplement to the reading experience. This is something I have been lamenting since I started reading so many books on my Kindle. Tiger, Tiger seems like the kind of book that would beg for such supplements (photos of Fragoso as a child, black and white scallop-edged snapshots of her mother, shadowy and blurred images of Peter). Alas, neither the hardcover nor the e-version provide these longed for addendums. There is only the author photo, and I must admit that part of the reason I purchased this book was because of this singular image. In the photo, the young Ms. Fragoso sits in profile, a hopeful tilt of the head. A modest blouse. A child's face. She seems a girl arrested. And so too, does this memoir feel somehow unfinished, interrupted. The story of a fourteen year relationship between a young girl and her molester, Tiger, Tiger is undeniably courageous, unapologetic, and terrifyingly honest. It reads like an incantation, an exorcism. It was absolutely riveting, catering to that voyeuristic tendency I suspect all readers of memoir (myself included) possess. I felt tremendous compassion and rage for this child who while so consistently failed by the adults in her life, still blames no one for her victimization. However, while the intricacies and complexities of this relationship are vividly and viscerally depicted, I feel like I wanted so much more from this story. I guess it boils down to defining the function of a memoir. Why do we tell our own (sometimes lurid) stories? Is this meant as a cautionary tale? If so, it feels as though there is something missing here. The life after Peter's death -- her survival and ability to flourish as both a student (and, it is hinted...a wife and mother) are merely mentioned in passing. I just kept thinking of that author photo, wondering what happened after. Who is she now? If that girl in the photo would turn and speak, what would she say?

Krill Kondrashin - Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Cover Looking at the cover puts many thoughts into one's mind ... vastness of space, timelessness, possibility of aliens, God or another omnipresent being, etc. It leaves the imagination open and ready for explanation. Plot This novel has left me unsure of what to think about it. There's an all-knowing, omnipresent being in human form, there's a seemingly crazy man who believes in aliens, there's a girl with multiple personalities who has a case worker willing to do almost anything to be with her and then there's a Big Mac fanatic loving species willing to do anything to have the delectable sandwich all the time ... and that's not even all of it! Sarcastic and snarky humor abounds between the covers of this novel, but it doesn't deter from the action, intrigue or alien abductions. Many times I wondered where this story was heading. Were some of the scenes delusional thinking or were they really happening to the character? Main Characters Jeremy - A charismatic business owner, new to town and likes to mess with people. Oliver - A professional and personal door mat who doesn't know how to stick up for himself ... until he meets Jeremy. Arnold - Believes himself to be a doctor and believes in the OOklah, an alien species. Overall This novel is definitely quirky and unique. It is extremely well-written and will keep you entertained. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes something ... different.
