Oh, I see. This is a novel expanding upon that Where the Wild Things Are children's book. I just picked it up because I've read Eggers before and found him somewhat enjoyable. In the spirit of full disclosure, I have never read Where the Wild Things Are. I know, I know, it's supposed to be great. I read and had read to me lots and lots and lots of other great books when I was little. So, yes. This was an odd experience having no emotional or historical connection to the source material. I mean, I had seen pictures, so I kind of knew what the monsters looked like, but I have no idea what that book is about. I was going to read it as soon as I figured out what this book was doing and then I decided to commit to the backwards nature of exposure to see if the story held up. It was just strange not being already endeared to everyone in the story; there is clearly an assumption that you already are. I really enjoyed the beginning of the book when Max was at home and having troubles being a boy. His mom and sister and Gary were all very real to me and I was so frustrated for Max and wanted him to find a good therapist who could figure out if he needed to be put on ritalin. Then, when he got in the boat? You guys? I was all, shit. I picked ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT A BOY STUCK ON A BOAT THE WHOLE TIME!!! I almost threw the book across the room and cried. Then he met the monsters. I'm about to play a monster soon, so this was good research. I just spent the whole time trying to figure out what was going on here. Is this a hallucination? Is he in the woods with imaginary friends? Or, are we meant to suspend our disbelief completely? OK. I did that too. So...then the monsters must be symbols. Which one is his mom? Which one is Gary? Or maybe they're all parts of Max? He's struggling with his wild boy inside, all the facets of that wildness. Right. I guess? He faces them, learns a lesson, grows up a little and makes a decision to go back home? He manages this incredibly easily. Suddenly he's back home eating soup. Didn't his mom call the police? Has a missing persons report been filed? I'm very confused. Maybe I'll watch the film before I read the story. Thus enhancing my completely backwards Wild Thing experience.

I think it is time to read this again.

Oh yes, it is discursive, and yes it does frequently whizz off at a tangent with only the slightest pretext - but don't most of Bryson's books? As a travel writer, the author has taken us on various journeys while passing on the odd stories he picked up along the way. In At Home, he wanders in similar fashion round the rooms of a Norfolk vicarage, allowing each to prompt an essay on a more or less relevant theme. There are many statistics, calling for pauses for consideration - or a swift skip on to the next paragraph. There are passages that Bryson might not care to have described as 'sermons' but nonetheless tend to make a moral point. There are the rewards for poking around in the nooks and crannies of remote sources of research. And for all the comments here to the contrary, there are chuckles and laughs, too. This is a bran tub of a book. Some may be disappointed by the occasional handful of sawdust, but there are many unexpected rewards.

I liked this book a lot, but my reading did not do it justice. It was primarily a commute book, and though I could read a small chapter at a time, I felt that I was often too distracted to really get past the book's density. Still, the best reading I've done on the spirit of the Eastern Front.

A must-read for anyone engaged in education, as well as all those involved in grassroots social change. How does one teach others, particularly those who have been oppressed in our society, without at the same time becoming merely another outside force of domination? How do those who are oppressed escape oppression, without merely joining the ranks of the those currently in power and responsible for the oppression? Freire, one of the first to truly address these questions, handles them capably, with his own real world experimentation informing his answers.

First impressions: I knew I was going to like this book from the first line: "Mom freaked out when she saw us, of course." (p. 11) Best. First. Line. Ever. Slipping back into this world was like throwing on your favorite comfy jeans. I was a goner. Lasting impressions: I'm so anxious to read Torrent, the final book in the trilogy, that I may develop an ulcer by September 1st. At least I only have to wait the summer, though. This quick release series thing is my new favorite. Conflicting impressions: I don't know if I'm just not remembering Waterfall that well, but Gabi felt a bit off to me in this book. Her voice came through a little differently than I was expecting - more typical teenager-isms, I guess. As a result, the internal monologue was 21st century, but the dialogue was 14th century, which was more jarring for me this time around. Overall impressions: That said, the book was written the way I think. And the way I like to write. So, OF COURSE, I loved it! At this point, I feel almost like, "What else can I say?" I love this series. Unless Lisa Bergren had written this sequel with Gabi murdering her own sister with noxious farts, I couldn't have been disappointed. No. You know what? Even with the death-by-farting, I still probably would have rolled with it, nodding along as I read, assuming this was a weird ritual Italian thing that only Lisa is smart enough to know, and that eventually Lia would spring back to life and pull a rabbit out of a hat or something. Ta da! Lucky for us, Lisa didn't write anything quite so silly. Instead, she completely rose to the occasion and crafted a sequel with even more of the heart-pounding action and non-stop danger that hooked me in the first book. Let's face it. Medieval Italy was HARD LIVING, especially if you were a woman. Gabi, still a teenager, has a hard time accepting just how tough life in Marcello's Italy can be. This book didn't cut her any slack. Gabi and Lia are constantly under attack, but in a believable way and without anything seeming over the top or overdone. Perhaps the best part of this installment is getting to spend nearly the entire book with Gabi and Lia together. I love seeing the She-Wolves of Siena fighting along side each other, and witnessing their bond grow through the time they spend in the past. Lia kind of steals Gabi's thunder in this book, actually, showing off those mad archery skills and proving herself every bit as tough as our main heroine. No review of this book could be complete without mention of Marcello and Luca. Cue the handheld fans! Our Italian hotties are back and better than ever, joined by the somewhat sinister Rodolfo Greco. Lord Greco added a nice element this time around - not purely evil like Lord Paratore, but not fully good like our main men. I appreciated his duplicity and scheming, and I think this is not the last we will hear from him. Marcello and Gabi are totally sweet together, of course, but Luca and Lia stole the show for me. I think I may be falling more in love with Luca! I'm a sucker for his wit and smile, and I can't wait to see how things develop with Lia. I love the pace at which these relationships are moving (not that they have much choice given all of the danger and violence constantly chasing them!), and I particularly enjoy watching Gabi struggle with her growing feelings for Marcello. Would you be willing to give up modern life for your possible true love? Oh! It's so heart-wrenching! The end of this book is so sweet and joyous despite its uncertainty. I absolutely cannot wait to read Torrent and find out what happens next! I could personally relate to the final events of Cascade's story (minus the time travel, natch), which led to many bittersweet but also happy tears while reading the last chapter. The entire book will have your heart leaping into your throat, dashing down to your stomach, and hammering so hard you might fear for your own life. So what are you waiting for?

Yllättävänkin vangitseva ja haikeatunnelmainen muistelma, jossa Smith keskittyy enimmäkseen 1960–70-lukujen vaihteen tapahtumiin. Teos on eräänlainen ajankuva New Yorkin taidepiireistä, joka on pitkälti kerrottu omaa ääntään ja ilmaisumuotoaan vasta etsivän, nuoren aktivisti-runoilijan näkökulmasta. Kirjan lopussa tullaan tosin jo 80-luvulle ja hyvin surullisten asioiden äärelle. Tiesin kyllä, että valokuvaaja Robert Mapplethorpe oli Smithin läheinen ystävä, mutta tämän teoksen myötä itselleni vasta valkeni heidän suhteensa merkitys kummankin elämässä. Smith kertoilee myös omista kirjallisista esikuvistaan ja muista vaikutteistaan, mikä oli kiinnostavaa. Tekstin oheen on liitetty myös kuvia ja lyriikkaa.

Comence a leerlo un jueves de un ya lejano ano 2000. Extranamente, el dia siguiente no fue uno de copas sino de tranquilidad en mi departamento. Agarre el libro a las 10 de la noche y no pude parar hasta las 4 de la manana (soy un lector lento). Me parece demasiado ambicioso desde un punto de vista historico calificar a esta como una novela historica. Imagino que la imaginacion de Vargas Llosa permea muchas de las situaciones del libro, pero realmente esta basado (presumo que tal vez vagamente) en el gobierno de Leonidas Trujillo, un dictador dominicano. Este es uno de esos libros que uno no puede dejar de leer. Vargas Llosa intercala muchas historias diferentes y con una habilidad sadica interesa al lector en una, solo para pasar a la siguiente en el proximo capitulo. Asi, Vargas Llosa deja a los lectores queriendo saber como acaba la historia anterior, pero al llegar a la siguiente el ciclo se repite. En mi opinion, de lo mas entretenido que Vargas Llosa ha escrito. Las resenas historicas y la posibilidad de interesarse, como consecuencia de leer la novela, en la historia real son un par de puntos positivos adicionales.
