4/4 Longer review to come, but I had to note that this morning, I was actually sad that I had finished reading The Tragedy of Arthur this weekend. I missed its company on my commute. If that doesn't say something about how great this book is, I don't know what does. 3/2 Oooh. Won an early reviewer copy from LibraryThing.

I'm sort of bouncing back and forth between 2 and 3. I need time to think about it. *** I've decided to give it 2 1/2, because it was pretty good - and that's how I'm rating it. Not in the sense that "I liked it" as much as in the sense that "It was pretty good". Overall, I liked the chapters that were narrated by Little Bee better than the chapters narrated by Sarah. Little Bee seemed more real - her chapters had humor and pathos - were touching and heart-breaking and funny. I liked when she described how our language is like sorcery, because of how slippery it is. I liked how she talked about scars and sad stories being beautiful, because it meant that a person was alive. And I liked how she would stop and tell us how she would have to explain things to the girls back home, because of the way we take certain understandings for granted. Sarah seemed less real of a person to me, though. Everyone on the British side of things seemed more like stand-ins for certain views and representations of types. I hated Lawrence, and was ambivalent towards dislike for Andrew. But everything in Sarah's chapters seemed unnatural - the dialogue, the situations, the way people reacted and her/their motivations... it was all rather stilted and awkard. A bit heavy-handed in certain aspects, I suppose, but not horribly so. Even as I started liking and sympathizing more with Sarah as the story progressed, I still didn't really like the chapters that were from her perspective - so I think it has to do more with the writing and less with the character. Anyway - I'm left feeling like the situation in the book, the way that refugees are treated and the conditions they are left in, is terrible, but without any real sense that there's anything I can do about it. And I'm not really sure what I think of the end. (view spoiler) Oh well. At the end of the day there's one lesson that I've learned myself that I feel might be reflected a bit in the book, and that's this: No one can change the world. But we might be able to improve our little part of it in small but important ways.

This is the first Le Carre book I've read, although I really enjoyed the film version of "The Constant Gardener." Both stories have lots of interesting post-Cold War twists on the spy-thriller genre. I will say that after hundreds of pages of (well-written, interesting) slow-burn intrigue I was kind of hoping for a more whiz-bang ending. The ending is totally appropriate for the message he's trying to relay, but maybe Hollywood has conditioned me to expect more from this type of build-up. Stupid Hollywood.

What a freaky, fun, and delightfully creepy book.

I read this book last summer and immediately loved it. The depiction of contrasting ways of life in America is stunning and spot-on. Anne Tyler continues to be one of my favorite writers, probably my favorite novelist.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book; I found it engaging and creative, bringing a new but not outlandish perspective. Certain elements of the narrative were weak; and as the author is not a novelist he at times tended to go a bit overboard, saying in two paragraphs what he could have in one. However, it was the best version of Esther's story I have read so far (aside from the original of course!) I enjoyed it.
This book, as my sister pointed out, should more accurately be called "Reuse", as it involves a lot of projects to transform objects from one traditional use into another decorative use. The pictures are interesting and even somewhat inspiring in a home-decorating sense, but I don't know how eco-savvy it would be to buy three axes with the sole intention of using their handles for the legs of a stool. Good coffee-table book, I guess.

I wasn't blown away but I will read book two to see if things get any better.
