Molly had recommended this book years ago in book club... I gave it 100 pages to impress me, and then I put it down. Too many other good books to read. I'm not much into the post apocalyptic, feminist thing; and I just didn't care about the characters.

A fun series. Just a lot of fun blabbering. Enjoyable

I started reading Amerika on an airplane to Caracas, Venezuela. At first I felt strange to be reading a book named after America on my way out of it, and I a little nervous about looking like the type of American who flaunts it while I was on the road and trying to be invisible in a place where the we are not exactly considered friends. After a few chapters though, I was hit with a different take. Amerika is a story about a young boy who is displaced, stuck in a foriegn country and forced to survive while everybody he knows abandons him every thirty pages. Then, I really started to identify with the guy in a sort of sickening and terrifying way. I too was a little kid sticking myself for superficial seeming reasons in another country where I had no friends and no idea what to do. This book is definitely a piece of art, but not much of a travel companion. Just the begining left me afraid to go out there into the world and definitely put a shadow over my earlier romanticization of travel. It made me want to stop being invisible and go home to the people I care about. I think that in that sence, this book should definitely be considiered part of the Kafka corpus, it is another look at lonliness and frustration from the perspective of a small person in a big and confusing world. At the same time, it has a different sort of feel to it than The Trial or The Castle. Karl Rossman, the protagonist in Amerika is a 17 year old kid with a name and a background, realistic desires and more human sadness. He is very different from K. and Joseph K., the unnamed, sort of faceless and erie main characters in Kafka's other novels. I think for this reason, the development of Karl's story takes on a different character (no pun intended) its something a little more human, and gets to you at a bit of a deeper level. While I felt that the abrupt ending of the Trial put both the character and the reader out of their misery, when I made it to the end of what was actually written in Amerika, I really cared about Karl and wanted to see him make it through to something better. I compared Karl to myself where I saw the other two novels more as a feat in writing that I wanted to get inside or an interesting intellectual experiement. The other cool thing that this book gets into is an outsider's look on this country, and the false promises of the American dream. Don't get me wrong, this is no deToqueville-ish, boring social analysis, but through Karl's hopes and expectations, we get an interesting look at Kafka's idea of what America means and his doubts about its type of idealism. Reading this right after Peter Singer's "One World", I was definitely prepared for criticism of the American way, but this took on a different, much more emotional approach. I'm not sure if Kafka even came to America in his lifetime, but it seems that it was definitely something that he was aware of, and thought about. In general, after reading all three novels and a good chunk of his other works, I think that its safe to say that this is my favorite Kafka novel. I defininitely recomend it to someone who thought of it as marginal as compared to the other novels. I find it the most complete and emotionally intense.

Much like my last review on Flynn's previous book, the first half is pretty dull. He goes on for quite a bit about religion and politics. Makes for a good lead up to the second, action packed half of the book, but maybe took too long. The rest of the book was good with plenty of twists and turns, but the overall plot is much too predictable. He does set it up great for a sequel though, so that is a nice change since most of his books seem to leap a year in between, with the reader left in the dark as to what happened.

I usually don't read non-fiction, but this story deserves to be told and read. I'm glad that Skloot put this information out to the public. She deserves to be commended for her efforts for shiz.....

This book inspired a lot of anger in my class when we read, so I don't think many of us appreciated it. However, the situation of a young child starved for his father's affection is an idea that most can understand and relate. I think that in order to understand the beginning, you have to really keep in mind that the speaker is a young child, and at that time in life it's difficult for children to truly empathize or realize that they're not the center of the universe.

This is a great 1960's sci-fi novel, about long-lived aliens, memory recording, and a great twist on the Arthur story (if you read it, see if you can work out which names from the Arthur legend have been re-imagined!. This is a witty book, pacy enough to hold my famously short attention span, well written, and certainly well plotted - try it for yourself and see.

The storyline was good, I liked all the characters (except Ava), but it seemed to all fall in place too perfectly. Hunky FBI agent, beautiful brilliant Dr., stalker from childhood, and a pair of arms dealers?! I finished the book, because I really wanted to know what happened. I was disappointed that there weren't more "wedding " stories, they were hysterical. My biggest disappointment was the Annie part of the story. Her "mystery" man, her pregnancy, all were cleared up in a few sentences. She could have had her own story! I gave it 3 stars because I finished it and there were some entertaining parts. I'll have to think about my next Julie Garwood.

I just read this recently for the second time (last time I read it was probably in 1998). It's got so much to offer: fantasy, horror, fantasy, wit and humor, reflections on what makes a satisfying life.... I highly recommend it!
