A fantastically moving which leaves you with the one question that is actually asked twice in the book "what would I have done?"

Extremely practical and comprehensive.

I heard that he was going to stop writing and retire, i sure hope not. He is so poetic and mystical and magical, i love him! I get lost sometimes but it's fun trying to figure out where he's going!

** spoiler alert ** Just Ella is another reimagining of the Cinderella story, where all the fairy godmother, magical coaches and talking mice are reassigned to gossip in the court because the truth of the matter is nobody would believe that Cinders-Ella had fixed a dress, ran to the ball and done it all on her own. It's a promising idea that becomes bogged down with relentless and two-dimensional antifeminist messages from everyone at court. Instead of creating an interesting take on how happily ever after may not be as easy as it seems, it becomes a terrible trap because everyone aside from Ella and her two friends is either so amazingly vapid (Charming, the ladies in waiting), so terribly concerned with tradition (Lord Reston), or just needlessly cruel (the stepmother and Madame). The rhetoric of a woman's place would be completely valid for the time period and a great exploration of independence versus societal expectations but the way Haddix pulls it off makes it sound like an anvil landing in every narrative paragraph. Things go from bad to worse when Ella realizes she is not in love with the prince and tells him so. He is so intellectually stunted that he freaks out and ties her up, then tells his keepers because nobody has ever told him no before. Their answer is to trap her in a dungeon with a serial rapist for a prison keeper, hoping to wear her down so she'll see a loveless captive life with Charming as a better alternative. The logical inconsistency in their minds to break, torture and terrify a future queen is really unsettling tonally, especially for a book marketed to eleven and up readers. Lastly, Haddix shoots her own heavily didactic moral in the foot about self-sufficiency when she escapes the kingdom to work in a refugee camp, not because she identified with the plight of the homeless, not because she discovered her own dream and finds contentment as a doctor, but because she believes working for the dream that defined Jed--the tutor turned love interest--was enough for her. The entire agency of her character is crippled right at the end, leaving a half-hearted limping finish that makes it feel as if Haddix wants to prove happily ever after shouldn't be believed by one last kick in the teeth to deny you anything except a unsatisfying "deal with it" ending. There is enough done fairly well not to merit a one star review, the narration is didactic but not incomprehensible. There are moments of a well crafted scenes when Haddix lets the prose be, especially the backstory between Ella and her father. But for anyone who loves Cindrella stories told in a different way I would recommend sticking with Gail Carson Levine's "Ella Enchanted" or Malinda Lo's "Ash." Just Ella is just not good enough of a contender.
Great book. The movie doesn't stay with the book strictly, but also enjoyable. I prefer the book over the movie.

Je viens de terminer la lecture du livre "Au pays de Dieu" de Douglas Kennedy. Ce livre est le récit du voyage qu'a effectué l'auteur dans le sud des USA, pour suivre la voie de Dieu. EN fait, il a fait un travail de "recherche" sur les évangélistes et prédicateurs américains, très prolifiques dans le sud des USA. La suite ici: http://massir.blogs.psychologies.com/...
A good sequel to The Friday Night Knitting Club, although not as inspiring as the original. Some of the stories seem a bit too coincidental and contrived. but again, it does contain some real truths, and memorable and likable characters.

Semiotics professor writes mystery that uses lots of Latin phrases and lots of discussion on Catholic church during the Middle Ages. Pretty interesting if you can stomach the long discussions on heresy and look up Latin.

Very inspiring; Jean-Dominique Bauby is imprisoned in his own body through locked-in syndrome after having a stroke, and can only communicate with his left eyelid. That is how he wrote this book, which is incredible in itself. But he also shows remarkable humor and strength despite his completely debilitating condition. It's horrifying to think that it's possible to be completely paralyzed without even the ability to use your vocal cords--it could happen to anyone--yet Bauby shows us that it's not the end, and that life can still go on.

Great story! I had no idea what happened in Paris in 1942. Truly it was shocking! I am so glad I read this book and learned a little bit about it! This book read easily and I enjoyed how it took you from present day to past and back again. Three stars because the author got a little hung up on the sex life of Julia Jarmond. Julia's character became closed at the end of the book and was not well developed - or I guess I mean finished. I was disapointed that after all Julia learned and felt for the tragedy of the past - it did nothing but close her down, and give a name to her baby. What happend to becoming a better person because of the past? I thought Julias character went down hill - no strength.
