One of those books that moved me to tears.... I keep seeing this *chick lit* thing.... I don't have a clue what that is, but as I have seen Alexandra Potter and Reilly categorized as it, it must be good.... If you are a single mum, you'll love this book. I did.

I was bored by the 3rd chapter. Slow paced and the new "twist" on vampirism was a real let down. I dont want to see my favorite mythological creatures downplayed as little more than modern junkies - I was so disappointed I quit reading and tossed the book in the "for the used book store" box.

‘Patriotism’ became a clarion call for conservative political commentators after 9/11. Conservatives used it to marginalize political competitors who expressed doubts about the prudence of national security policy. How did ‘patriotism’ have such rhetorical power in the aftermath of 9/11 when political debates in America are more commonly dominated by the language of individual rights? Why is patriotism a value in a political system founded to protect citizens against an abusive government? Paul Kahn writes Putting Liberalism in its Place to tackle just this problem: how can the American government both have the authority to exert a claim of sacrifice on its citizens and be founded to protect individual rights, most essential of all the right to life? A traditional response to this question would rationalize this seeming paradox by arguing that a state to protect individual rights cannot exist unless citizens are willing to defend it. Citizens should thus be willing to sacrifice their lives if they want to live in a state that protects their individual rights. Kahn instead avoids this rationalization and insists on a radical alternative. He argues that people understand the state as the popular sovereign, as the manifestation of a transcendental ideal of communal self-governance. Kahn understands this popular sovereign as a mirror in which citizens see themselves and thus understand themselves as part of larger, historical project that extends backwards and forwards into time. Through this self-identification, citizens become willing to sacrifice themselves for the state because they derive substantial meaning and purpose from the historical, state project. To the citizen, this derivation of her purpose from the state makes the state’s death worse than her own death. Kahn boldly refutes liberalism in its description of the American state as an entity separate from the citizenry that exists to protect individual rights and instead insists that the American state exists as the manifestation of the body politic; the American citizenry. Under Kahn’s explanation, patriotism, not individual rights, is the ultimate value of the American state. His theory argues that the American Constitution is valuable not because of any particular system of government or set of individual rights that it enumerates, but because it is the American Constitution; our Constitution. Kahn radically places the state above the individual by not merely equating the state with the individual, but by rendering the state as a source of ultimate meaning for the individual. In Putting Liberalism in its Place, Kahn subtly but dramatically argues that America is not a culture that places individualism above all other values. For Kahn, patriotism, love of self-governance by the popular sovereign, first defines American politics. The strength of Putting Liberalism in its Place rests in the multiple analytical frameworks that Kahn pulls together from historical, literary, biblical, philosophical, and legal sources to radically revaluate the practiced values of American politics. Although this approach results in a somewhat fragmented, non-linear argument, it also results in a series of thought-provoking re-castings of the American political experience. The book is highly recommended for anyone tired of the standard political speak of contemporary commentators and in search of a new lens to view American politics.

Once I picked this book up I couldn't put it down. I have friends who went down the courtship road and made it look dorky, and friends who set their relationships ablaze. It may seem like this is an old-fashioned approach to things, but there's a large part of me that really resonates with the wisdom in this book. If as a man I truly desire the best for the a woman I desire to marry, then why wouldn't I want to pursue her in a selfless way, in a way that maintains her protection? If you're a single Christian guy, read this book.

A thrill a minute narrative that zips along at a cracking pace. Although the story is improbable, the pseudoscience is believable enough to make the story credible. As for the characters, the terrorists instil terror. The heroes act heroic. And protagonist Joe Ledger kicks serious ass. Maberry has scored a hit.

This is the second in the series and it was as good as the first. I really like both the hero and heroine MC's as well as all the secondary characters. I find the writing is done well and the plot and storyline move along quickly and is exciting. I actually had to stop for a bit because i found the I couldn't read FAST enough for my own liking to get to see what would happen next and it frustrated me! LOL It is set in and alternate world similar to earth in like the 1800's. maybe? I will move on tho the 3rd part next. Looking forward to it.
