I think it's a great history book for people who want to know more about this great conqueror. It has everything, details about Napoleon's life, his war statedgies, his love and moral obstacles and much fantasy. I loved it, as most books of this type get boring over time, this one didn't at all. It's wonderful. What disgusted me a bit were too many details about the wars, which don't araise much interest in me, but I understand why the author did, because a lot of people are concerned with this subject. I reccomend it fully for someone who has always been curious about Napoleon.

Rereading just for fun. It is still free on the Kindle. Original review below. ============== THIS ONE IS FREE FOR THE KINDLE. I honestly did not mean to begin another book before finishing Silas Marner. However, Silas Marner isn't the sort of book I can read in bed before going to sleep. I have to be wide awake to pay attention and pick up on the subtle humor and other excellences therein. So I turned to my Kindle, which I hadn't turned on in over a month as I recall. I was looking for short stories, figuring I could read one and put it down easily. Turns out I was wrong. This collection of short stories that all are actually pieces of one larger story is indescribably amazing. Funny in a way that sounds corn-pone if I try to describe it, these stories are also gripping and will keep me up reading until I finish each one so I can see if the problem is solved, the danger averted. Here's the description: A strangely captivating novel from Hugo-nominated author Dominic Green. Mount Ararat, a world the size of an asteroid yet having Earth-standard gravity, plays host to an eccentric farming community protected by the Devil, a mechanical killing machine, from such passers-by as Mr von Trapp (an escapee from a penal colony), the Made (manufactured humans being hunted by the State), and the super-rich clients of a gravitational health spa established at Mount Ararat's South Pole. The children's names are laugh-out-loud hilarious, but surprisingly you get so used to them that after a while you know exactly who is being spoken about. Not done yet but I already know that this is one that I'll be giving as a gift as well as getting for myself in real paper, ink, and glue for rereading. I like it that much.

** spoiler alert ** I'd give it a 1.5 star rating. I really didn't like it but I finished it, only to not care about the ending. There wasn't anything that stood out about the book. I didn't like the narrator, the story was pretty weak and seemed like it it had been done before. Spoiler Alert: This book had an overwhelming amount of sexual references and connotations throught. Mostly I thought it was gratuitous, and it kind of turned me off. But what I've realized is that the narrator must have been sexually abused herself as a child, as much as she didn't want to remember or admit it, that's why she was so preoccupied with sex. Having that thought after I finished the book didn't make me like the book anymore.

Somehow unsatisfying.

Another YA novel. Trashy and perfect for being laid up in bed with the flu. So glad I'm not in high school any more...things just seem way tougher.

I picked this up in an airport for the flight home without really knowing much about it, but I really enjoyed this book. It's about a young man's summer spent working for the circus back in the 1930s, but it's told through flashbacks because the young man is now 90 years old and in a nursing home. The story is pretty serious -- the main character in present day is dealing with dementia and just generally growing older, and the young man in the circus is dealing with corrupt circus bosses and animal abuse. Although the story is serious, it's captivating, and the author actually did a great deal of research on the early days of circus acts, so some of the more unbelievable happenings are actually based on real events. I would definitely recommend this book, because the story and the description of circus living are fascinating.

Lottare è sempre stata, più o meno, una forma di cecità. Cecità è un romanzo spietato, mi ha tenuto incollato alla pagina, malgrado i brividi, e ha regalato alle mie notti tonnellate di incubi. E' un romanzo spietato, ed è - forse, proprio per questo - un romanzo intimamente, irriducibilmente umano. In un contesto volutamente sfumato, appannato come la vista, si muovono personaggi ciechi e senza nome, mentre la cecità e tutto ciò che ne consegue strappa via le comodità della vita contemporanea e fa riscoprire la selvatica e bestiale natura umana. Ciò che colpisce e che resta, malgrado tutto, è un profondo senso di soffocamento: tangibile è la cecità imposta ai personaggi, non c'è dubbio sia merito della grande, grandissima scrittura da Nobel di Saramago. Il romanzo si può suddividere in blocchi narrativi ben definiti, che accentuano la sensazione di soffocamento: scoppiata l'epidemia, i ciechi vivono dapprima rinchiusi in quarantena, in una progressiva deprivazione di sensi che lentamente conduce alla follia, alla lotta, alla morte; sucessivamente, vedranno la libertà, una libertà fallace perché aperte finalmente le porte del loro luogo di prigionia si ritroveranno amaramente a passare dal labirinto razionale, la quarantena, alla prigione ben più vasta di un mondo sconvolto e irriconoscibile. Con pennellate orrorifiche che rasentano quasi il sadismo, il narratore onnisciente in maniera chirurgica, ma mai distaccata, mai fredda, descrive passo dopo passo l'avventurarsi dei personaggi nell'oblio, nella follia e nella degenerazione della natura umana che la cecità mette a dura prova. La cecità è, inutile dirlo, molteplice metafora di diverse e infinite cecità del corpo e dell'anima. Quando è l'intera popolazione ad esser contagiata dal male bianco, ad una cecità personale, interiore, si affianca quella della società: la definizione del sé, che dipende dalla relazione con l'altro, dal sapersi distinguere dall'altro, viene completamente riscritta. Non solo: tutte le dinamiche sociali vengono messe in discussione, con ricorrenti riflessioni sulla società, sull'organizzazione e la gestione del potere. Più volte mi è venuta in mente una citazione shakespeariana: "Che epoca terribile quella in cui degli idioti governano dei ciechi". Questa è l'epoca di Cecità.

I loved this book. It was a totally different take on Shifters. I recommend this series.

I'm a big fan of Cornwell's series. IMHO, everyone should give him a try. Most roundly dimensional and representing the extremes of British society are Wellesley, the coldly brilliant and fearless son of an earl, and Sharpe himself, the tortured, unlettered bastard from London's slums, who is determined to rise. Cornwell contributes vivid details in descriptions of life in an army camp, the dual military regimes of the East India Company and the regular army, and Indian politics. Best are the battle scenes, laid out with all the heat, stink and blood of war and "the joys of slaughter." The reader's pleasure in all this gore may be a guilty one, but Cornwell, a master of battlefield writing, makes it too exhilarating to forgo...Publishers Weekly
