I liked this book and it was a quick read, which I needed after Midnight's Children. I was hesitant at first since I'm not at all interested in the circus, but I love historical fiction and I ended up really enjoying the story. I also obviously loved that he went to Cornell :)

Sometimes I don't like that I can give only full star ratings- I would like to give this a 3.5. It's a good story, if you liked Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, 3 Cups of Tea, you will like this. Not as graphic as those in the violence overall in the country or the lives of women in Afghanastan.

Two smug conservatives go yah boo sucks at leftie straw men. That's not quite an accurate summary of this book, but it conjures up perfectly my feelings all the while I was reading it: revulsion at the abominably orotund and self-congratulatory writing style, profound irritation that -- despite a half-hearted attempt in the introductory pages to claim non-partisanship -- the authors were framing their very justified criticisms of sloppy, antiscientific thinking as a political left-right battle. A full 100% of Republican Senate/House candidates this Fall reject the science of climate change. The leaders of the campaigns against the science linking tobacco smoke to disease, against the science showing the depletion of the ozone layer, against the science demonstrating the reality of evolution, against the science that showed SDI wouldn't work, and now against the science indicating the world is warming -- it is nary impossible to find a leftie amongst them. But, you cry, Gross's and Leavitt's real targets are the postmodernists/social constructivists, who're definitely a bunch of lefties, no? Well, okay, if you think that people like Nietsche and Nazi Party member Heidegger, two of the primary inspirations of that school, are lefties. To be fair, some of the authors' targets are of the left -- for example, that branch of feminism which tried to twist science for ideological reasons -- but this is by no means uniformly the case. Antiscientific idiots are to be found all across the political spectrum, but the majority of them seem always to be on the political right. I succeeded in ploughing through this book because I had to for the sake of research. What's depressing is that, behind the tone of infantile sneer, there's some very valuable stuff being said. But I imagine that most of the people who should be reading it will have thrown the book at the wall in disgust long before they get that far.

Fascinating true-crime saga of larceny within the rare book business, in a case where the author herself nearly gets drawn into the action. This is the story of a book thief (John Gilkey) who specializes in preying on dealers in first editions and historical documents. Gilkey gave the author nearly unlimited access, resulting in a unique picture of this particular sociopath collector's obsessive mindset and actions. After the book is over, both the author and the reader are still left wanting for a solid resolution - but that is, in itself, true to Gilkey's life. As the author says, "The story never ends."

Feels more like an overy long esssay for an undergrad media class than a worthy, enlightening read. You get the thesis early on and then get bombarded with one example after another, never expanding on the original statement: we're smarter because the information we absorb is more complex than it used to be, whether educational or entertainment.
