This has been on my to-read list for a long time and while I'm glad I can finally check it off, I wasn't blown away by this collection of knitting essays. Maybe it's because I'm not as obsessed and don't get some of the obvious knitting in-jokes, or maybe it's just because many of the stories felt forced.

Night Road is the first book I've read by Kristin Hannah, but now that I have I definitely intend to read more. It's the story of a close knit, well-off family. Twins Mia and Zach Farraday are as close as two siblings can be, but at the same time completely different. Where Zach is popular and outgoing, Mia is shy and awkward. Everything changes, however, when the new girl in school, Lexie, befriends Mia. Instantly a bond is created and nothing is ever the same. Without giving too much away, Night Road is a great story because it doesn't rush to get to the climax. There is a lot of back story that makes you root for the complex characters and understand their decisions. There were a few things that irked me, namely about the tidiness of the second half of the book. Still, Night Road was a great read.

Only 1 story in this anthology was worth it. "Kenya and Amir"; the others were forgettable.

It's a okay read! When I bought this book, I had heard so many wonderful things about this book. However, I found it just alright. I mean, it only talks about the superficial stuff realting to names poeple were called by and all that.

I really like Jory Sherman's westerns, and this one is probably the best one I've read so far. The black hats here were horrible people who you wanted to see meet a violent end, and all of the good guys were very complex and interesting characters. And as usual, Sherman ends the book leaving you feeling unfullfilled with the outcome, which at first I thought was poor writing, but now think he is making a statement about the hollowness of finally getting your revenge.

This is a decent read on the history of the communications industry starting with the development of the telephone and then following the growth of the industry through the advent of radio, film, tv, cable tv, and the internet. The author shows how innovation occurred in each of these segments of the communications industry and how monopolies stymied growth at different points along the way. Much of the focus of the book is on the role AT&T played in dominating the telecommunications space, both before and after the company was forced to break up, and then trying to draw implications from it about monopoly power and industry innovation. In all, the book works as a history book (even down to the bland to slightly pedestrian writing) but for the most part fails when the author tries to link industry evolution into some kind of overarching model of “the cycle” which like most frameworks, doesn’t hold up in every case. That said, if you approach this as history, it’s a good enough read and gets you thinking about Google’s impending world domination (and see, that’s funny because Google already has accomplished world domination).

David Sedaris made me realize that I wasn't nearly as funny as I thought I was.

This book is great. I am 16 and I am very into photography as a hobby. I have checked out many books about photography from the library but most books I checked out were boring, dry, very hard to understand, and full of a bunch of technical terms; this is not the case with this book. This book is easy to understand and it give simple tips to improve your photography. Scott Kelby also uses a lot of (not so funny) humor to get his point across, which makes the book enjoyable to read. This book also goes by "themes" so it is easy to reference back to this book whenever you need to. For example there is a "theme" about wedding photography, a "theme" about sports photography...

I was hoping that this would be the book that would reunite me with SF; we're having a rather rocky relationship at the moment, and we've almost reached the stage where we return each other's gifts and can't be invited to the same party for six months. Was this the big reconcilation of my dreams? I don't know. I read it, I enjoyed it, I only occasionally wanted to hit the author with something heavy. But this book is far from perfect. First, the flaws. This book feels vaguely first novelish, even though I know it's anything but. The exposition is at painful levels of telling rather than showing, although fortunately things get better in a hurry when the real action starts. And the characters - look. If you're going to have United States Marines, and you're going to call them that, I'm going to expect them to act like U.S. Marines. Marines don't spend a lot of time crying while on duty (and, yes, it bothered me that only the female Marines cried), and they sure as shit don't break into laughter while they're in full dress as honor guard during a meeting with a foreign (alien) head of state. For some reason, I had a harder time suspending my disbelief over that than over, you know, the Roman Empire having been underground for two thousand years. And, dear god, this contains possibly the worst romance subplot the world has ever seen: if Meluch never writes any more Kerry Blue/TR Steele, I will rejoice and rejoice and rejoice. I had to skip some pages of that, because it was like the worst romance novel ever written. Right down to it making it okay that he's an asshole to her, because he loooooooves her. Which brings me to the biggest flaw this book had for me: the misogyny. It's obvious that Meluch loves Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, but did she have to pick up their trick of having every alien race have nonsentient females? I am so damn tired of that. And I am tired of women who have lots of sex being dumb sluts - Meluch's words, not mine. I could have done without any of that. However, on a happier note: gay character! Some characters with other than lily-white skin! (Although not, of course, in command. I think the universe would explode if that happened.) That puts this book way at the forefront of all military SF novels in terms of diversity. But the bottom line is: I enjoyed this. I read it quickly. I want to read more. I liked some of the characters. I liked the action. I loved Augustus and his relationship with Farragut. The twist honestly surprised and impressed me. So this book wasn't perfect, and it wasn't my great reconciliation with SF. So what? It was fun. Frankly, in SF these days - and especially in military SF - I will totally take that.

I really want another book by this author! "Sunken Places" is a great young-adult fantasy - don't be put off by the fact that your first reaction will be "This is Jumanji", because it isn't. The plot is great, original, and moves quickly.
