I don't know where to begin. This took me a while to finish mostly because each page is packed with information, so it makes for some slow reading at times. Basically, the "War on Drugs" was first waged, and continues to be waged, for political reasons, getting presidents and various politicians elected because they vowed to be "hard on drugs". What that usually translated into was massive amounts of government money spent on law enforcement and prisons. And that's about it. Republicans thought that drugs was an individual ailment and those individuals should take responsibility, and Democrats basically thought it was a larger social responsibility, with issues of race and poverty coming into play. The reality is that it's both...which is hard for politicians to get elected on, so they have to choose one or the other. Baum is clearly biased, not towards drug abuse, but the blatant distortion of statistics and facts that was going on during this approximately 30 year period in American history. He doesn't try to hide this bias in any way, so it's not like he's trying to pull a fast one on the reader. His most obvious bias is towards marijuana, which he portrays as being the scapegoat for the "War on Drugs", mostly because all other users of all other hard drugs didn't really add up enough users to wage a war. So pot was painted the ultimate villain by Mr. Nixon, even though a a commission of Nixon's own choosing concluded that marijuana prohibition was not in the national interest and they recommended legalization. He obviously ignored this report. Nixon wanted to wage a war on the marijuana culture more than the drug itself, as he saw it as a threat to American ideals, something set a part from the mainstream. Again, to use it as a political weapon. So there's just too much to summarize, but basically the "War on Drugs", at the time, destroyed civil liberties, including most of the 4th Amendment, revamped the prosecutor's role to focus on drug enforcement, clogged up our judicial system without allocating proper funds, and massively distorted drug statistics to scare the American public into thinking their was a drug epidemic sweeping through the schools. And way way way more stuff that is ridiculous. Also, there is no statistical evidence that connects drug abuse with crime. A rise or decline in one doesn't mean squat for the other. Seriously. "While nobody was saying that drawing hot, psychoactive smoke into the lungs was good for one's health (except perhaps in prescribed medical circumstances), many researchers were saying that a society that tolerates alcohol, tobacco, and bacon-double-cheeseburgers cannot on medical grounds justify jailing people for smoking marijuana." pg. 150

This book was difficult to read, because it is a true story, and the author's experience was often painful and tedious. But, it is definitely worth the effort. A Swiss woman traveling in Africa falls in love with a Masai Warrior. She gives up her European lifestyle to live with his people in the bush. Shortly after their marriage, their cultural differences become pronounced and their happy, simple life is shattered. She must find a way for herself and her baby to return to her family in Switzerland. Although Corinne does not describe her ordeal as domestic violence, this is an interesting study of how quickly abusive patterns can evolve. The barriers she faces to get out seem insurmountable, but she succeeds. At the end, I was also left wondering, can people from such different worlds and perspective ever truly understand each other?

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Martı Yayınları

Third book in the series. I had forgotten - or never known - that McKillip worked with Stephen R. Donaldson on these books. He would have been one or two, at most, into the Covenant novels. This third book particularly has that dense style that characterizes Donaldson. Meaning you really cannot speed-read it. The vocabulary isn't as affected as Donaldson, but the prose is nearly as dense - so skip a line or two by accident and you are already lost. This third volume brings all things to a head in the conflict between the Founder of Lungold, the earth masters and the Riddle-master of Hed. Many die, but many are saved and the the world is set to rights to move forward into a new age. Classic high fantasy.

this book's subject matter is interesting, but it's too much of an ethnographical study to be a good read.

This review refers to the trilogy. Tad Williams’ Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn trilogy was one of the first fantasy series I ever read and it's still one of my favorites. The writing style is very pleasant and the pace is slow enough to be savored, but characters actually accomplish things by the end of each book (you know what I mean). The characters are well-developed and loveable, but not annoyingly perfect. This is a classic epic fantasy plot: Simon the kitchen boy saves the world. But please don’t roll your eyes — this was written in the 1980’s — before it was a cliché. Even though he's now a cliché, Simon is still charming and you can't help but love him. Memory, Sorrow, & Thorn is on my list to read again, and along with Robin Hobb's Farseer Saga, it's the one I always recommend to newcomers to the genre. Read more Tad Williams book reviews at Fantasy literature.

If you like To Kill a Mocking Bird, then you will like this book. Narrator is excellent...young girl with a southern accent that really draws you into the story. "It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening." - The Secret Life of Bees "The first week at August's was a consolation, a pure relief. The world will give you that once in a while, a brief time-out; the boxing bell rings and you go to your corner, where somebody dabs mercy on your beat-up life." - The Secret Life of Bees

Pretty good. The depiction of the boy with Asperger's was pretty accurate, I thought. Jodi's books always follow the same pattern, but all in all a good book to read.
