An audible download... it's well researched and the authors have witnessed first hand or spoken with the women whose lives and struggles are depicted here, along with their preserverance in the fight for women's and humnan rights.. Only one part left to listen too but putting on back burner for summer.

I will not ruin the Shyamalan twist this book has for the reader. But it has one, and it is less "The Sixth Sense" and more "The Village," if you catch my drift. The question that bothered me about 2/3 through this book was, "is Blue Van Meer (the protagonist and narrator) sincerely interested in being a good person?" The answer is, sadly, not enough, and I don't mean that in terms of a dramatic conflict. Honestly, Blue lets herself drift in with a crowd of mean cliquey people at high school, makes a nuisance of herself, and basically doesn't feel bad about it beyond self-pity. While the book is marvelously written (other than the crummy twist at the end), in the end, I don't like reading books about people who don't at least feel bad about ruining the lives of others. Between this and The Book of Dave, the latter is the superior work.

Great Book with love action and of course a good cherub book. Well Done Robert Muchamore!

This is the account of an undercover journalist, Barbara Ehrenreich, who decides to join the ranks of the low-wage workers in America. She moves from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, working as a waitress, a hotel maid, a house cleaner, a nursing home aide, and a Wal-Mart salesperson. Her experiences ultimately reveal that her strong work ethic and her frequent two-job balancing act are barely enough (and sometimes not enough)to make ends meet. Ehrenreich's account of the physically demanding and mentally exhausting low-wage work leaves no reader with the idea that it is easy for the working poor in this country to fulfill the American dream. If you're interested in social justice and injustice, this book will make you want to do something. It's hard to say what exactly. I found myself smiling when Ehrenreich tried to get Wal-Mart workers to join a union, and thinking critically about the luxury of having enough money to pay a security deposit on an apartment, but upon finishing the book, I wasn't sure what to do about it. I think that speaks a little to the tone of this book. Overall, I thought it was fantastic. It was well-written, enlightening and funny at times. However, it did leave me with a sort of "Wow, this sucks, but there's not a lot I can do about it"- powerless feeling. Ehrenreich paints a clear picture of the struggles of low-wage workers in this country, and then leaves the reader with the feeling that this struggle is one that will remain a part of a capitalistic society until "someday" workers realize that they deserve better. It's hard to know how to make that "someday" happen.

It's hard to write a review for a book that you love so much. This is my favourite book. Period. I honestly can't say anything bad. I have read it multiple times, each time finding something new, and each time wanting for more when it ends. It is eloquently written, in a masterful way that many good authors can only aspire. As Stephen King wrote about The Shadow of the Wind, "the subplots have subplots". It is crafty, wise, dark, romantic, sorrowful, and mysterious. I have never been to Barcelona, but after reading this book I feel intimately connected to it. I can see the streets, smell the fog and rain, see the shadows. It is a book for those who love books, it will worm its way into your heart and you will be left comparing all future books to it. Trust me, most won't compare. Read this book slowly, it is tempting to try and skim future pages to discover some of the mysteries, but it is much better if you let them surprise you. Read it with a notepad and pencil to write down the magnitude of lines you will want to remember. Honestly, you should just plain read it. It is more than worth it!

I hate that most people never get by the simple facade of men fighting. This book, I thought, brought up some very relevant points, on a socio-politcal level.

A powerful book. Nikitenko's memoirs as a serf provide a rare insight into countryside life of the Russian peasantry. As seems to be a theme in eastern Europe during the latter half of the 19th and into the 20th centuries, the rural areas of nations were plagued by endemic corruption, which stunted real growth for what must have been centuries. A unique book.

SUCH A POWERFUL ENDING. This would make an amazing movie, if done right. This book was mildly confusing for the first 200 pages (or maybe just for me -- I was confused by all the old foreign guys doing different things), but things get cleared up really quickly toward the later part of the book, and- just- how things all came together, making the conclusion succinct and bittersweet, and, like I said, just really powerful. And the POEM AT THE END. I always admire a good ending, and Nicole Krauss did a stunning job with this. Just one good excerpt: The grass was slippery with mud. In the distance I could see a rowboat tied to the dock. I looked out across the water. Must have been a good swimmer, took after his father, I thought with pride. My own father, who had great respect for nature, had dropped each of us into the river soon after we were born, before our ties to the amphibians, so he claimed, were cut completely. My sister Hanna blamed her lisp on the trauma of this memory. I'd like to think that I would have done it differently. I would have held my son in my hands. I would have told him, Once upon a time you were a fish. A fish? he'd have asked. That's what I'm telling you, a fish. How do you know? Because I was also a fish. You, too? Sure. A long time ago. How long? Long. Anyway, being a fish, you used to know how to swim. I did? Sure. You were a great swimmer. A champion swimmer, you were. You loved the water. Why? What do you mean, why? Why did I love the water? Because it was your life! And as we talked, I would have let him go one finger at a time, until, without his realizing, he'd be floating without me. And then I thought: Perhaps this is what it means to be a father -- to teach your child to live without you. If so, no one was a greater father than I.

Denedim ... ve yapamadım. Kitaplardan vazgeçmekten nefret ediyorum, ancak birkaç denemede 100 sayfadan fazla ilerleyemedim. Üzgünüm. Harika olduğunu duydum ama benim için değil.
