As with Julian, the rating here is foregone. I love Krazy Kat with an everlasting first love, and it loves me back. In this book, I especially love Ignatz' fig tree, and the sequence of the doleful dogie.

A sweet, sarcastic, introspective family drama, with very subtle fantastical elements. This book was so much more than I expected! Ahern's prose is truly lovely. Unexpectedly, her prettiest descriptions are not those of her native Irish countryside, although those sections are well-done too, but rather her expertly intuitive handling of the quirks of human communication and their nuanced, layered, historied relationships. Ahren captures the way a woman's eyes look when she is nursing a secret and the stiff, awkward way she holds herself when she is torn between love and hate, tenderness and regret in such a beautiful, vivid, and painfully realistic way. I'm quite surprised by reviews calling The Book of Tomorrow slow or boring, because it was a true suspenseful page-turner for me, brimming with that evasive can't-put-it-down-even-though-I-needed-to-make-dinner-hours-ago quality. Rosaleen was just so chillingly creepy right from the first moment she was introduced, but then were times when you almost felt she was alright. Then she'd be creepy again and it was just a total mind-fuck trying to figure out what was going on with her. I loved how there would be clues thrown in but they were never enough to allow me to really solve any of the mystery, rather they just kept adding to the mystery, so the story was never predictable. I was left in total delicious suspense until very near the end of the story when (view spoiler) The characterization was fantastic, particularly that of Rosaleen and Arthur. Their relationship was so hard to pin down. I loved how you couldn't quite tell who was on top. I thought Tamara's teenage voice was excellent as well. She perhaps did occasionally come across as just a bit too precocious, but overall I thought it was a fairly realistic portrayal of a teen in her situation, or what any more worldly teen talks like. Although many readers have seemed to tag it as such, I'm not sure I would consider this book to be "chick-lit". Romance is not the focus of the story, in fact, there is very little romance in it at all. Nor would I consider The Book of Tomorrow to be "light" or "fluffy", which are the usual qualifiers for chick-lit. I actually found it to be quite the opposite. The Book of Tomorrow is one of the more intelligent, meaningful stories that I've read in the past month or so. I'm not sure that I would consider this book to be YA either, although it seems to have been tagged as that too. Of course, whether or not a book is YA or adult fiction is an entirely subjective, and often murky, matter. It was shelved as adult fiction at both the library and my local bookstore though. The main character is a teen, and although the book would certainly be suitable for mature 15-16 yr olds and up (there is some sexual content), I got the impression that the book was speaking more to older adults who are likely to be looking back on their teen years than to teens themselves. Categorizing this book is difficult when it comes to the unexplained supernatural elements as well. The magical elements of the story are so minor, and so blended into the everyday happenings, that I almost feel like The Book of Tomorrow is more magical realism than true fantasy. Genre certainly is a tricky concept.

Middle-class jew from harlem comes up in the depression, goes to school, writes some of the best plays ever and marries Marilyn Monroe. He is genuinely perplexed by it all. Worth reading for the odd marriage of ego and contrition; he is aware that he one of the elect, in his talent and in his life, and he is troubled by it. The best of the book is in the first two or three hundo, comprising as it does a very engaging and thoughtful oral history of the 30s and 40s, here and abroad; as Miller gets more famous, and as America flies off into cloud cuckoo land, things become murkier, and lessons begin to unlearn themselves. By the end of the book you find yourself trapped in a forced, false nostalgia for the days when there was a right thing to do and if you could get on a boat to spain to fight Franco you did it; it's a nostalgia that Miller himself eschews, but I found myself drawn back to the dockyards, back to an era when you didn't have to worry about cameras eating your soul.

** spoiler alert ** This was an amazing book! I was told that it would be hard to put down, that I would end up finishing it at 4:00 in the morning, tired and exhausted, but too caught up in the story to stop, so I bought the book to read on my 24 hour trip from Korea to the US and ended up being the furiously cranky girl in line at customs because she had to stop reading briefly. Collins's strengths are her characters and world building. The plot was predictable and there was no real twist, but Collins's genius lies in the fact that I didn't care. The characters were so detailed and nuanced and realistic that I cared about them and was invested in what happened to them, even when I saw it coming. I knew from the moment Katniss compared Rue to Prim that Rue was going to die, but it didn't stop me from loving Rue and crying (in public, even) when Katniss sang to her as she died. Panem and the Hunger Games were also incredible detailed. Katniss's struggles and fears are impossible for me to identify with, but the history and mythology of the world are so detailed and seamlessly introduced that I felt like I'd grown up in the world. The Hunger Games lives up to the hype and I can't wait to read the squeal.

Poignant and honest. I understood what it was like to be a homeless, confused teen in New York City. Can't wait to read more of Erlbaum's books!

Some books walk the line between fantasy and reality. I think stories told from the point of view of a dog fit into this category because, until we find a way to read minds, we have to imagine what goes on behind the soulful eyes of mans -best-friend. My most treasured book when I was little was 101 Dalmations by Dodie Smith; I carried that book with my everywhere. I can remember, before the days of seat-belt laws, being ensconced in the very back of our station wagon with a pillow, blanket and my beloved book all settled in for a long road trip. That story was magic to me long before I ever grew to love the Disney version. So when my book club chose Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain as this month's selection I was interested, but ambivalent, about a grown-up story told from a dog's point of view. Enzo is a lab/terrier mix who becomes the beloved pet of Denny, an aspiring race-car driver. Enzo is the audience's window into Denny's life from bachelorhood, to marriage and the unfortunate illness of his wife. As Denny's circumstances spin further out of control, Enzo is always there to offer quiet encouragement and the occasional well-placed "accident." Enzo's greatest wish is to be human and he frequently laments his lack of opposable thumbs. His philosophy on life is based a great deal on racing, having spent hours watching racing videos with Denny, and the old racing rule-- that we go where our eyes go-- figures a lot into Enzo's view of the world. He's an old soul, well educated from watching lots of television, and has a keen insight into the world around him. He's so human that he's sure he's ready to come back in the next life as a human being. As you'd expect "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is a sweet, charming book. Having a dog as a main character, as long at it's written with some skill, is as close to a sure-fire method to having a likable main character as you could possibly get. And Enzo is endearing no matter what he does because his motives are so pure and unencumbered by matters outside his family. He's a dog so his focus is predictably narrow and uncomplicated. The method of using a dog as a narrator is fun from the aspect of seeing the world through the eyes of an animal that has quite a bit of access to the lives of those he observes. He drifts in-and-out of conversations and picks up information that would be very useful to the people he loves-- if only he could manipulate his long, slippery tongue around the words he so desperately wants to say. But the book falters when the story goes from Enzo's pontificating and dwells on the ups-and-downs of Denny's personal life. And here's where I throw in a few spoilers. For a race-car driver, Denny is a really passive guy. There are things that happen outside of Denny's control, like that of his wife's illness; but Denny doesn't make her go to the doctor, even when she is incapacitated by pain. When she dies and her parent's hatch a plan to take Denny's daughter, he doesn't see it coming even though it's starkly evident. And that's pretty much the pattern for the whole book: Bad things happen while Denny seems clueless as to what's going on. I didn't even like Denny for the first half of the book. I understand that the whole book is written as a metaphor for a race. The mantra you go where your eyes go is repeated frequently and Enzo speaks often of Denny's determination and faith that he will never quit until the race is finished. But the circumstances that are thrown at Denny to make the long-haul of the endurance race (as a metaphor) necessary seem contrived. I've been known in the past to say that a story lacks tension because the solutions are too conveniently found, but in this case the problems are too predictable and too easily avoided to be convincing. And the result of such a rote, by-the-book story is that we're never surprised by anything. It could be that I'm not the kind of person who should be reading "The Art of Racing in the Rain." Maybe my early years of infatuation with "101 Dalmatians" has left me with a desire for whimsy that can't be presented in a book that deals with cancer, accusations of sexual misconduct, death and grief. My expectations of what a doggy narrator means to a book were definitely confounded by this book. That isn't to say it isn't a good book, though I don't think it lives up to the hype. I think the problem, for me, is that "The Art of Racing in the Rain" is still too Oprah Book Club for my taste.

Testgrup 12. Sınıf Türk Edebiyatı Yaprak Test TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

In "Earthfall," the rather biblical-feeling, constantly bickering, occasionally even murderous clan of Rasa and The Wetchick finally makes it to Earth, 40 million years in our future when all humans are long gone and two new sentient species are trying to fill their ecological niche. A few things stuck out to me as I read this second-to-last book in the series: 1) Card's books will never be made into movies. They don't deal with the right subject matter. Even in a plot where a couple of dozen soft, untrained, modern individuals attempt not only to resurrect 40-million year old ships but also create a functional, self-sustaining colony on a long abandoned planet, we don't have themes of "man vs. environment" or even "man vs. technology." The takeoff and landing take place off screen, for goodness sake, and the mid-trip alarm that scares everyone out of their hibernation sleep is due not to mechanical failure but the unplanned awakening and subsequent machinations of the murderous elder brother of Nafai. In other words, Card is far too busy dealing with "Man vs. Himself" - all that internal conflict - to bother with the pedestrian possibility of crop failure, illness, or the basic complexity of trying to go it alone in a wilderness with only a few dozen colony members. This is very different from most sci-fi w/ similar plot elements. The "introverted" focus, however, remains interesting - although frankly by book 4 the Elemak vs. Nafai conflict is getting a little bit old. Thankfully the "angels" and "diggers" appear to take some of the focus. 2) Card also delights in designing strange alien species with even stranger reproductive requirements and symbioses. In the Ender-verse we have the piggie / little mother / father tree / descolada setup that occupies so much of "Xenocide" and "Children of the Mind." The angel / digger interrelationship in "Homecoming" is only slightly less bizarre. Perhaps reading between the lines the message here is "If it was working when you found it, don't mess with it. You don't understand it and will probably break it." There's some wisdom in that, I must admit! In summary, read this book if you are a Card fan already and following the whole series, but it doesn't stand well on its own, nor is it supposed to. And the Ender-verse is really a bit better! :)

Although he traveled to some fascinating places, I found myself actively disliking Rolf Potts as the book went on. He came across as someone curious but too eager to cause a scene for the sake of a good story. The "commentary" at the end of each chapter also seemed somewhat pompous, especially when he admits to making up details to enhance the story.
