Besides the story, which is pretty good, there's lots of interesting issues brought up that are current in Turkey right now. Also, there is poetry.

I loved and hated this book. I read it as I was in the throes of growing Christianity in the "pagan" country of India. So many of the searing indictments of overly religious zeal struck me a little personally. That said, it made me be a bit more careful as I tried to share my Christianity, being careful to separate doctrine from culture, and finding ways that the doctrine can fit into the culture that was already there. I think this is by far the best book I've read by Kingsolver. I always delight in her vivid descriptions and her colorfully drawn characters. Though most of the characters (especially the father) can be a little flat, they are lovable and interesting.

This book was a really nice breath of fresh air for me. I was very excited to receive it from the author as a "GoodReads first reads". It is about a young Irish girl who was convinced by her mother and sister to move from Ireland to Brooklyn for better work. Eilis overcame many struggles, from the very rough boat ride there to fitting in with a whole different way of life. She started working in a store as a clerk with aspirations of eventually moving to the office as a book keeper. I loved that she had so much support from the priest whom initially found the job for her, as well as her landlady. Eilis found love and a way of life in Brooklyn when she thought it was never possible. Her life was going very well, and then a tragedy struck in her family forcing her to go back to Ireland to help her family. In doing that it made her re-think her new life in Brooklyn and seeing what she could have in Ireland. In the end she did what she thought was the right thing. Which was Eilis's way of life. She always did what was best for everyone else and not necessarily for herself. That's what I loved and hated about her all at the same time. The ending was defiantly not my favorite part of the book, it left me wanting more! This story was beautifully written. It included a lot of cultural and economical aspects of life in the 1950's. It is not the fastest paced book, but holds your interest well with the story line. I really like the author's unique writing style. I can't wait to check out some of the other books he has written.

I loved this book. It is masterfully written, beautifully crafted. I tried to force myself to read it more slowly because I didn't want it to end. I'm glad I didn't see the movie.

After reading The Book Thief, I went to great lengths to find another Markus Zusak book, and when I finally found this one, I couldn't have been happier. I think I read it in about two days. Markus Zusak's powerful prose is still at work, although Ed Kennedy is hardly an ideal subject for poetry. Zusak's protagonist is an underage cab driver with a coffee-addicted dog, a foul-mouthed mother, and an intense love for his best friend Audrey. Ed thinks he's destined to be another nothing of the city, until he finds the first card in his mailbox... It's the Ace of Diamonds, and on it are written three addresses. Someone wants Ed to help the people who live there, or else. The rest of the book focuses on Ed's mission "to help or to hurt", and deliver the messages. Ed's witty voice keeps the situations mostly light, although the book plunges into darkness frequently. I'm a bit ashamed to say that I didn't get the ending of this book the first time I read it. I wasn't expecting it, and for some reason, my mind wouldn't make the connection between the author and the character. But it is truly a brilliant twist, one that gives me further reassurance that Markus Zusak is the most pivotal YA author of our times.

In The Phantom of Pemberley, Regina Jeffers, author of several books including The Scandal of Lady Eleanor, continues the much endeared love story of the key characters of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. The Phantom of Pemberley takes place a little over a year after Elizabeth and Darcy’s wedding and both are happily settled in their match. The novel begins with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy getting ready to head into town to pick up Elizabeth’s sister, Lydia. Although Mr. Darcy still harbors bad feelings toward his wife’s sister, Lydia Wickham, and her husband, George Wickham, he makes an effort to welcome his sister-in-law sans her husband to his home for a short visit. If you recall, Wickham had convinced Darcy’s 15-year-old-sister, Georgiana, to elope with him in order to get his hands on her inheritance. As in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 4, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark,” Jeffers gives us a sense of forewarning when an impending winter storm arrives. After they set to town to pick up Lydia, the Darcys are forced to extend their home to a group of stranded guests due to an already fully occupied inn. While gracious in their roles of playing host and hostess to the group, the atmosphere in Pemberley takes a sudden change for the worse when a murder is committed. The realization that a murderer is walking among them has Mr. Darcy and his wife hurrying to find him or her before they strike again. Jeffers cleverly brings back Lady Catherine de Bourgh, adding a constant thorn at Elizabeth’s side, much to Mr. Darcy’s chagrin. However, Lady Catherine de Bourgh has her own problems, which is why she showed up at the Darcys, hoping to involve Darcy in preventing a scandal involving her daughter, Lady Anne. Jeffers commands the language of the period, gives us a fresh plot, and even weaves in pieces of Pride and Prejudice. Though I suspect Jeffers wanted to give readers who had not read P&P a little pre-history of the beginnings of Darcy and Elizabeth, I believe this was not crucial to the plot of her story. However, Jeffers does over emphasize Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy’s relationship, creating a constant overflow of sentimentalities between the two that can be distracting to the reader. I still enjoyed reading the book, especially experiencing the creativity of many of these writers. I love to see that both Lydia and Lady Catherine were up to their usual obnoxious selves, Jeffers captured their true nature. For all you fans that pitied Lady Anne and would have liked to have seen more of her, this is the book to read. Lady Anne eventually comes into her own right as she stands up against her bullying mother and finds happiness. Contrary to other reviews, I found the ending a pleasant surprise, especially learning the murderer was not whom I suspected. Anytime a book can surprise me is a great plus for me, besides shouldn’t reading be in the mind of the beholder—in other words we can’t always please everyone. Check out Jeffers’ The Scandal of Lady Eleanor. Though filled with explicit sex, the story was not only enjoyable, but fresh, including her brilliance in introducing the men of “The Realm”, a secret society of the British government. These are gallant men who not only fight for their country, but for the women who capture their hearts. Sincerely, Miguelina Perez

basically, this book tells you what your ecological footprint is, and then describes the ways you can reduce it. Unfortunately it requires a kind of radical shift in lifestyle that few would be willing to adopt. I live in a single house with 9 people, I don't own a car, I don't eat meat, I rarely buy new clothes or new products--and yet if everyone lived my lifestyle, we would still require three or four planets equivalent in size to Earth if everyone lived like me. The book is too disheartening to be an effective tool for social change.
