The majority of the book is dialog, and the dialog isn't very good. The philosophy was pretty weak, too, but you stop noticing as you get used to breezing through the empty dialog. my favorite quote: "There is something joyful about storms that interrupt routine."

I am listening to the Secret on DVD - just out of plain curiosity. In listening, I did realize how negative my thoughts can be, and how it does in fact help me to turn my thoughts around to something positive. I also have practiced the author's credo to ask and believe for things I want, because, what the hell. Why not? But I do have very BIG problems with her book. First, she contends that people attract everything that happens to them, down to the raped, child-molested, starving, beaten and trodden. How does a small beaten child attract this, I don't know. I heard she appeared on Oprah, and these hard questions were not asked. For shame, Oprah. I also had to laugh out loud when she first called herself hefty for being 143 pounds, and how she lost all the weight in believing she was skinny. Even more laughable, though, was when she encourages her readers to avoid looking at fat people at all costs because if you have an image of a fat person in your mind, you will not lose weight! Incredulous. Seriously. This book also seems to be written for the mid to wealthy class, as she prods people to wish for their dream car and dream home and soul mate. Why not world peace? Food for the starving? Are you telling me that if only the people in Darfur would ASK for refuge, help, food, riches, etc., and believe it is theirs, that they will receive it? Will gosh, if only life were that simple. There are serious cracks to her philosophy, and I think very, very dangerous thinking here, but I am giving the book 1 star because I did take something of value from listening. I refuse to see the DVD, though, as the trailer looks horrendous.

I read this lovely novel on the plane home from Japan, finishing it upon my return to the US. I was surprised - given that it was written by a Western man - how accurately the Japanese culture was portrayed (at least from the limited knowledge I gleaned during my short time living there, and given that it was set in a time when Japan was, in many ways, very different from today).

My first ever read of a "Hugo and Nebula award winner" - SciFi/Fantasy isn't my normal genre. Which means the first thing I'm looking for a compelling and believeable alternative world, drawn for my reading pleasure. And Bacigalupi delivers - a future history of Thailand where life is all about the balance between energy in and energy out. In doing so, the novel of course, holds up a mirror to our own profligate squandering of fossil fuel. I'm going to have to come back to this review when the book "settles down" in my mind, but there is a lot to enjoy here, although it took me a long time to accept that I wasn't going to handed a simple hero/heroine to root for. Very glad I read this...

The plot was intriguing, the characters sympathetic, the writing style fine, and yet I still came away from this one indifferent. I'll try another of his books--this may have been a bad starting point--but on the whole, meh.

Pet Shop of Horrors is a manga by Matsuri Akino and the sequel to Pet Shop of Horrors. Welcome to Tokyo's Neo-Chinatown, a large building complex with chinese shops of all kinds. One of those shops is Count D's pet shop. Here one can find the most common cat or dog, alongside exotic animals that barely scrape past the Washington treaty. These pets can grant a person's deepest wish, but all wishes come with a price. Are the results good or bad? None can tell. Believe what you wish, because the truth is the truth. And just what about Count D himself? Just what could he be thinking? This series is very much like its predecessor, Pet Shop of Horrors. Still the episodic nature of the chapters keeps you reading, waiting to see what kind of customer will come through the door. Of course, even in a new country, Count D's pet shop still recives acusations like human trafficing or selling illegal drugs. Still, let's see what how 'animalistic' these animals -and humans- truly are.

This book reads like a mashup of a few other young YA novels to me, meaning it doesn't feel very original, and the plot is a bit ludicrous. The writing, though, is so original and clever and the kingdom's history so well laid out and explained that combined they prevent any melodrama. First, the writing: Fly by Night flows smoothly, yes, but it also showcases a uniquely twelve-year-old experience. Hardinge removes her perspective so completely from the novel that she manages to create characterization through word choice. The novel never lets you forget, through its very words, that this is its protagonist's story. This is seen most cleverly through use of metaphor and simile, which themselves depict Mosca's age and range of experience: The jokes they exchanged were like clods of earth thrown at the face, mean good-humoredly - but meant to bruise as well. ...Mosca felt less alone. It was a strange and shiny new feeling, and she decided not to think about it too hard, in case she wore the paint off it. The kingdom's history is wonderfully done as well, rich in metaphor and completely believable. It evokes the French Revolution with its descriptions of terror and wanton death, tyranny and rebels. Some of the novel's strongest writing describes the evolution of the kingdom's religion. Afterward it was hard to be sure exactly when the sublime light had dazzled their minds and driven them mad, since they went insane with such calm and dignity that nobody noticed. The ways Hardinge uses words and multiple meanings to create layers is nothing short of brilliance. One can read the book for the writing alone. An added benefit, though, is the book's description of the discovery of truth and the ways it can be hindered and spread. The discovery of the importance of both freedom of speech and of the press. The discovery that people are never what they seem and that they can be more complex than ever imagined. That not even smart twelve-year-olds can foresee everything or always be correct. All this in a highly entertaining, potentially ridiculous but ultimately wonderful story.
An interesting piece. Clearly Nolan and Goyer read this many years before the Batman reboot, as a lot of those films elements, especially the Dark Knight's, were born here. The Long Halloween is one of the better visions of the juxtaposition of traditional organized crime elements and the "freaks" of Batman's rouge's gallery, and how they interact, though not as deep an exploration as I would have liked about how much Batman may or may not contribute to those rouge's creation and/or motivations. While the story is not as compelling as the The Dark Knight Returns, and the art is inferior to The Killing Joke, I'd put this as the third in the triumvirate of important(?) Batman works.
