I received an ARC of this book at ALA and wasn't sure I would enjoy it. Even though I'm a history major, I tend to shy away from most historical YA--that historical setting often takes away from the reasons I read YA in the first place (fast pace, immediacy, voice, etc). And while I did end up liking this book more than I expected, I will say I'm not entirely convinced it fits in the YA category. The main character, Kit, is living on her own (well, sort of), out of school, and working as a dancer. And while she's only 17, it's clear that her 17 in the 50's is equivalent to an older age nowadays. The voice wasn't especially YA for me, either--nor should it have been, under the circumstances. That said, I enjoyed the writing and the story. There were plenty of twists and turns to keep me interested throughout, and the author does a fabulous job of painting life in a grittier version of the 50's than most movies or sitcoms show us. I could visualize the setting perfectly. I actually liked the framing of the book, which wandered back and forth in time, but it did require the reader to pay close attention to avoid confusion. Would be curious to know if, overall, this book ends up appealing more to teens or adults?

The second installment of the "Insatiable" series was definitely not as good as its preceding novel. I really wasn't that into this one. I absolutely loved the first book and this one just wasn't as interesting. I still gave it three stars though because I do think Meena Harper is a great paranormal heroine, and I like Cabot's writing style. I liked the story line enough, it just didn't excite me as much as Insatiable and I was left feeling short-changed.

This is a great tool for a parent, grandparent or guardian to engage a young child in the field of science and arouse their interest in future study. It promotes the idea of asking questions and seeking information. In gentle ways, it fosters learning, encouraging research and experimentation, albeit on a very basic level. The illustrations are beautifully drawn. There is a cartoon like quality to them which invites the reader into the world of elementary science. With just a sentence or two on each page, the child is introduced to concepts like gravity and light, without stress or confusion. It seems easy and enjoyable. The initial and final pages are filled with drawings of scientific tools and basic scientific concepts. Simple explanations are provided with each picture, i.e., a microscope shows “ity-bity stuff”. This is a friendly book that just might encourage some of our young to become future scientists. By the time a child would be able to read this book alone, the concepts might be too primitive, but surely, for a very beginning reader or as a read-aloud with a guardian, this book would be an excellent choice for pleasure and education, combined.

I really liked this book about the history of East Indians in Trinidad. Very well written.

Each of the seven sacraments of the Church consists of two elements: FORM (the words and rituals by which the sacrament is celebrated and conferred) and MATTER (the tangible substance which is used in the celebration). In order for a sacrament to be valid, both the form and the matter have to be correct - e.g. in Baptism, one must use water and the Trinitarian formula ("I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit") in order for the baptism to be validly performed. In "Why Matter Matters", David P. Lang looks at each of the sacraments (with the exception of Reconciliation) and explains why the Church mandates the use of particular elements and ONLY those elements in their celebration. If you have ever wondered why the Church insists upon WHEAT bread for the Eucharist or OLIVE oil for confirmation, anointing, etc. this book offers the answers. Lang also addresses the more controversial questions about why the priesthood is restricted to men and why a the valid "matter" for a sacramental marriage is one MAN and one WOMAN. Overall, this is a good book, but I would add one significant reservation. Lang does not discuss the sacrament of Reconciliation because he states that the matter of this sacrament "is sin, which as moral evil is not a physical substance" (p.24). Here Lang sets himself against a host of theologians including St. Thomas Aquinas, who stated in the Summa that the "matter" of Reconciliation is the "acts of the penitent" - acts of contrition, confession, and satisfaction, not the SINFUL acts that led the penitent to the confessional. Apart from this rather glaring error, it is a useful book.

This is Mindt's debut collection, but it includes stories previously published in some fine magazines, including The Sun and Missouri Review.

This was a really thoughtful, lovely portrait of a Bengali family in America. It is above all a character study, driven by inner conflict, and certainly on the "quiet" side where plot is concerned. But the characters and relationships are so beautifully imagined, and the writing so skillful, that despite the fact that it wasn't your typical literary page-turner, I wanted to keep reading. I enjoyed the movie, too, particularly the portrayal of the father. The interpretation of Gogol, the son, was nothing like how I'd imagined him, but was well-done nevertheless.

Great read with a phenomenal narration from an instantly memorable character, Katniss.
