Compelling, scholarly analysis of the influence of the West Coast communalist movement of the late 60s/ early 70s on the development of 1990s cyber-optimism. Nearly biographical account specifically of Stewart Brand of the Whole Earth Catalog / WELL.

Although I am sympathetic with the "plight of womankind," I struggle with the fluidity and voice style of the author. It lacked that something which pulls me into a book, like i have seen it all before. I recommend it for female teenagers or woman activist.. I won this book from the goodreads give away.

How hard it is for women in the culture of Islam. This was a riveting and heartbreaking story. It's not often that I root for characters to have the tar beat out of them. In this case, I couldn't wait for it to happen. I am reminded that men can be pigs, and when they have something, anything that 'authorizes' their behavior, even the men that can see it is wrong are unlikely to give it up.

it was a surprisingly light read, though a little depressing. she has a poetic, easy to read lyrical style that makes it easy to follow. it isn't all about love... but more about the relationships between all these 'seemingly' unrelated characters.

Aibileen. Minny, and Skeeter are three woman living in Jackson, Mississippi in 1962. Aibileen is a maid who has raised seventeen white children while working for their families. After the death of her own son, she can tell that something inside of her has changed. Minny has a habit of being fired from every job she manages to find. She is determined to keep her latest position, despite the fact that her latest employer seems a little crazy. And Skeeter is a recent college graduate with big dreams of becoming a writer. When she stumbles upon the idea of writing a book about the life of the help, she thinks this may be her big break. I learned about The Help while working at one of my library jobs. Patron after patron would take it out and recommend that I be the next one to read it. With the recent movie out, I decided that it was time I gave it a chance, despite the fact that it's a bit outside of my comfort zone. My first reaction to The Help was one of surprise. After speaking with several people that had read the book, I was under the impression that Skeeter was the main character, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that the story was equally split between three protagonists: Aibileen, Minny, and Skeeter. Each woman has a complex and distinct personality. Being a young woman in her twenties, I could relate strongest to Skeeter, but I found Aibileen and Minny's stories to be just as engrossing. The plot of The Help is mostly focused around Skeeter's quest to interview black maids for her book. Aibileen and Minny are two of these maids, and end up helping Skeeter find other potential interviewees. The result, as a modern reader living in Maine, is very eye opening. The maids are paid far less than the minimum wage, and are often treated with very little respect. For example, Aibileen is forced to use a dingy bathroom in the garage so she's less likely to spread her “diseases” to her employers. The indication here, that blacks are naturally dirty and must be separated from whites in even their most basic needs, is very disturbing. But of course the relationship between the help and their employers is more complex with that. This is plainly see with Aibileen's job of raising white children. It's impossible for her not to fall in love with her charges, who sometimes even come to see her as their mother. Unfortunately, as they are products of their own environment they eventually grow up and become tainted by prejudice, which spoils the love they share. This is a heartbreaking situation. Although The Help has it's faults (end doesn't seem that realistic), I found The Help to be a very satisfying book, and I enjoyed reading it from start to finish. I'm very glad this was recommended to me.

4.5 stars. When I found out that Dangerous Race is Dee J. Adams’ first book, I was even more impressed than when I finished it. I don’t read much romantic suspense, but to me this was an example of the genre at its best: a compelling and (actually!) mysterious suspense subplot, combined with a terrific romance featuring wonderful characters and sizzling chemistry. The book’s heroine is Tracey Bradshaw, the most talented female race car driver in the sport. Four years ago, she survived a horrible crash that took her out of what had been a winning race – and almost took her life. Now, after intensive physical therapy and an unending amount of tenacity, Trace is back at the Arrow 500 and prepared to win the “the biggest, toughest, most grueling car race in the world.” They were never able to find the person who dropped a balloon of oil on the track and caused Trace’s crash and when dangerous things start happening again, it’s clear that the perpetrator is back and still out to get her. After her team leader and beloved mentor is killed, though she was the intended target, Trace is torn up and feels as lonely as ever. It doesn’t help that Mac Reynolds, a retired race car driver and the man hired to replace Uncle Joe, is stubborn and opinionated – while also being intriguing and gorgeous. She and Mac can’t agree on anything – from how she should take a turn on the track to how they should deal (or not deal) with the growing attraction between them. Trace doesn’t need any distractions, but instead of being able to solely focus on winning the race, Tracey is having to balance track practice with repeated attempts on her life, a love interest that could develop into the type of romantic relationship she previously thought impossible, and the sudden appearance of a family member she never knew existed and whose motives are unclear … Definitely not the ideal conditions under which to make a big comeback. Adams’ writing is strong and she creates interesting and varied characters with distinct personalities. Even the secondary characters that don’t have much page-time stand on their own and add to the story, no matter how little their role. The mystery was well-done and while I had a theory, it was completely unfounded and I kept looking for clues. I only knew for certain once I reached the point in the book where the hints are obvious and the author is clearly giving us some indication as to the guilty party(ies). Even after that, there were twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting. Tracey (23) is one of those rare things in romance: a kick-butt hard-ass heroine who is likable and relatable. She’s what so many PNR authors try to create, but in my mind so often fail to accomplish. Trace has survived a lot, yet she is never self-pitying or whiny. Her fiancé abandoned her after the crash, yet she is not a bitter man-hater. She’s afraid of Mac’s rejection and ashamed of the scar she sustained on her leg from the crash. Nonetheless, she does slowly and steadily open up to him and it never feels like a Ping-Pong match or a game of two steps forward and one step back. While Trace is rough around the edges and keeps everyone at arm’s length, we see her vulnerability and are able to watch her start to show it to Mac. This is probably the single most important factor that made her such an easy heroine to root for. I adore strong heroines, but in romance books it seems to be a thin line between strong and straight-up bitchy. When all we’re shown is the latter, I find it hard to care about the character or to understand what the hero even sees in her. In Dangerous Race, Tracey is this type of heroine done right: she’s strong, but never bitchy; reserved, but never mean; and driven, but never at the cost of others. Mac (34) was a good fit for her, though they were by no means opposites. Reserved and grouchy romance characters are often paired with someone who is much sunnier and happier. Mac is by far more outgoing and approachable than Trace, but he is battling his own demons and they are all the more powerful now that he’s around Tracey, inevitably comparing his reaction to a near-death crash with hers. From the beginning, he wants to get beneath her prickly exterior and becomes exasperated when his attempts are spurned, or when right as he thinks they’re making progress, she retreats. There is an instant chemistry between the two of them, but it’s clear from the start that Mac admires Tracey for much more than just her body. There is a secondary romance and for the first chunk of the book, I was enjoying it much more than the primary one. Tracey and Mac hadn’t really gotten anywhere yet, so it was the other two characters whose story I was paying attention to. The way they “meet” is funny and cute, their developing (and conflicting) feelings for one another are vividly written, and the chemistry between them is sizzling! I loved the mix of heavy sexual tension and lovely tenderness – so, so sigh-worthy. Even by the end of the book, after I had become fully invested in Mac and Trace’s relationship, the secondary hero remained one of the biggest attractions. Honestly, there was not much to criticize. One of the things I was bothered by was Tracey’s scar. From the description, it definitely doesn’t sound pretty, but when I read “scarred inside and out” in the summary I was expecting much worse and the degree of Trace’s obsession with it doesn’t seem proportional. Especially since much of it is driven by her fiancé’s rejection of her four years ago after he saw it. I wanted to shake her and say, Tracey, you can’t let one guy’s reaction determine your entire life, convincing you that you’re going to die a virgin and have no hope of having a husband or children! This may make me sound sick (may? HA!), but I had been looking forward to this aspect of her story. No, I’m not a sadist. What I am is a real life woman who gets tired of the always-drop-dead-model-gorgeous heroines with big breasts, tiny waists, perfect facial features, unbelievably kissable lips, legs that go on forever, and long hair that flips. Give me some imperfections, baby! The ball was dropped on Trace's history, in that we still don't know why her mother left her behind. I also thought that the final obstacles in Mac and Trace’s relationship seemed contrived. The barriers are self-imposed and I found especially annoying the scene towards the end, when after much back and forth Trace puts herself out there and Mac withdraws. To me, it felt like it was done only to prolong the will-they or won’t-they … which doesn’t even exist, since this is a romance, but you know what I’m referring to – that last stretch authors always put in before the assured HEA. Regardless, we get there in the end, evil is conquered, the double-HEA is delivered to us in a wonderful Epilogue that had a funny twist to seal the deal, and I finished the book thinking it was time well-spent. Dangerous Race was a great find and I’m glad I took a chance on this new author; I’m already looking forward to Adams’ next book in the series, Danger Zone, to be published in February 2012. { One of My Favorite Quotes } His gut tightened; his chest constricted the massive pounding of his heart. “I’m glad you trusted me.” He couldn’t disguise the raspy emotion of his voice. Didn’t try. “You keep trusting me with the most important things you have.” “I do?” she whispered. “Yes, you do,” he told her. Her gaze softened as though the wall she’d erected cracked down the center. Originally posted on the Fiction Vixen website. This review is of a galley provided by Carina Press through NetGalley.
