This is a timeless classic! I saw the movie when I was already an adult but I've been hearing the music since I was a kid. Seeing the movie for the first time was very engaging and it made me interested to read the book. The narration was straightforward and there are many lessons that kids and adults alike can learn from it. I will keep this book so that my daughter and her kids can also read them someday.

This. Book. Is. Explosive. I found this book about a year ago in the huge Barnes and Noble in Union Square. It was somewhere on the bottom shelf in the African American section. The fact that I, even if accidentally, came across this book shows my dedication to finding a good book. The title is striking, and as knowledgable as I am about Black History, the assertions laid out in this book shocked me. Harriet Washington has written an extensively researched book that rebuts the negative assumptions made about Black Americans on how well or not they maintain their health. Almost from the moment Black Americans entered this country they have been subject to some of the most dangerous and sadistic medical experimentations, the likes of which Washington describes in detail. She sources actual medical journals and government texts. For a majority of the history of these illicit practices doctors, scientists, and politicians spoke freely about experimentations because: for much of the history of Black people being in America it was illegal for them to read - and no one ever thought they'd be able to. The book is long. The print is small, single spaced and every word is used with weight. The cynic in me couldn't help but think of all experimentations that went undocumented. The most inhumane experiments described I dare not recount the details here. Some of the topics that sparked the most heat during our humble book club was experimentations on female slaves that propelled modern gynecology, the sometimes theft and often times misuse of black cadavers in teaching institutions and science labs, the experimenation of known fatal chemicals on young African American children - some as young as 6 months old, and the current one-sided biochemical war going on in Black communities around the country. Harriet Washington has written a monumental documentation of the seedy aspects of the medical world chronicling centuries of abuses on the black community that have brought many in the medical and scientic fields fame, fortune and respect. This book should be required reading for all Americans - if these things have happened within just one group, they certainly can happen to others. This book is a long read, and one that may cause you to lose sleep, but the subject matter is so important to the history of medicine and ultimately healthcare in the world as we know it.

2nd book in series. Written in 1961. APA The Sunken Sailor.
So far I like this book. Cheever, doesn't introduce his characters the way one is introduced to a friend of a friend at a party, he introduces the reader to them the way you might finally be introduced to someone you have been spying on for years. In some cases (so far) these characters exist only for a couple of pages, but you know why they do what they do no matter how insignificant they are to the story.

I would even read it again maybe? Also, by Jennifer Belle..."Going Down". Nice.

More syrupy stuff.

Adelia is on the trail of murder again. This time, the outcome of her investigations could mean the difference between peace and civil war. All in a day's work for the Mistress of the Art of Death. I'd like to give this book 3.5 stars. It was an interesting read, but somehow did not have the magic of the first book of the series.

I really liked this book. The manner in which it was written was believable and I thoroughly enjoyed the letters!

It's well-written, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped (or as much as I had enjoyed Cross Bones, which is farther along in the series). I had two major complaints: first, it's a little heavy on the details and light on the action. Don't get me wrong - there is action, and there are parts where you really want to find out what happens next. But there were also a few places where she would describe something in detail that just didn't seem highly relevant to the story. And that's just my personal preference, but I'm not a visual person, and a book tends to lose me if it gets too flowery. And second - it was a bit too graphic and gruesome for me. I guess I should have expected this, but generally this character works with bones - not fresh corpses. And the brutality of the murders was just a bit too vivid and disturbing for me. But I'll probably try this author again, based on my impression of her later book.

i give a 4.5. it was definetly a good book! meg cabot gave a twist to her usual type of writing and i like that there's a second book. i cant wait! i want to read it. now. haha. no, seriously, it was good. u should read it. I think I never really read a Meg Cabot book where the girl was sort of tomboyish. Just shy. Always shy. *sigh* But, anyway, I like her way of writing. :)
