I liked this one a bit better than Pretty Pru and did laugh a bit at Trumpty's attempts at hiding and his surprise at the end.

If anyone is interested in reading anything about the history of Mormonism, I would say this book is a must-read (the book is filled with LDS lingo, so having a good understanding of Mormon society and LDS terminology will certainly help). I was surprised at the calm, well-balanced approach the author gives. Normally, we expect to find people who are either stridently pro-Mormon or anti-Mormon on subjects like this. However, David Buerger's approach is very different. He barely makes any attempt to interpret what he writes, consciously avoiding the polemical pitfalls (for the most part, anyway). In the majority of the book, he simply strings together historical documents, letters, etc., with his own narrative commentary that connects the texts in a cohesive manner. Though he provides a description of historical development of the LDS temple ceremony, he does not judge the validity of it -- whether good or bad. He does not ridicule or mock the rituals, nor does he sugar coat it by avoiding uncomfortable areas from the past. Without knowing his background, one would be hard-pressed to know for certain if he were an active LDS member, or an inactive member. You can't tell from the text. His work is, as he mentions in the preface, his attempt "to achieve a balance of scholarly objectivity, reverence for the sacred, regard for the sensibilities of others, and adequate documentation and development of the points to be discussed" (viii). I believe he succeeds. In the opening preface, he clearly indicates his desires to be sensitive to the sacred beliefs of the LDS community (and he does, in fact, avoid a lot of detailed information about the language of the endowment, as well as steering clear of the types of details LDS members consider most sacred). But he also provides a scholarly view on the history and development of the temple endowments. In so doing, he does go into some detail about the whole process that might make some folks a bit uncomfortable. But I would suggest that the discomfort is not due to the author's attitude toward the Church, but rather the open way he discusses aspects of the endowment that most people refrain from discussing outside the temple (but even then, he stops far short of discussing many details out of respect). I would highly recommend this book to anyone. Whether active members, inactive, former, soon-to-be, whatever the case may be, whatever the interest in LDS religion, I would recommend this. I've been a lifelong Mormon, and there's a ton of information and documentation in the book about events and experiences I'd never heard of before. And some of it was.... well..... eye-opening.

Moving story about a little girl who couldn’t draw, but was inspired by her teacher who simply told her to start her drawing with the dot. Later, Vashti inspired the same way other boy in the class. I LOVE this book!!! Very good story to read for the Kindergarten class.

I'm ambivalent about this one. Perhaps it was the translation I was reading (I think I have the actual Der Tod in Venedig in the house somewhere, but frankly I couldn't face literary German at the moment), but I never really felt at ease when reading this. Not because of any of the themes that Mann tackled, or because of the denseness of the work; they were challenging and thought-provoking aspects, of course, but I found myself able to grapple with them. What unnerved me was the way in which all the protagonists seemed to be so utterly detached from society, while at the same time being so changed, so warped, so created by its conventions. I suppose this is in part because Mann was so heavily influenced by Nietzche, and I have really never liked Nietzche. There was no part of me which felt able to connect to the characters. Von Aschenbach in 'Death in Venice' left me unmoved; the eponymous Tonio Kroger did manage to move me, but only to the extent that I wanted to smack him over the head for his pretentiousness. When it comes down to style and elegance and observation, I can certainly appreciate Mann's achievement. I just can't like him as a writer.

...But I loved it when I was 12, and I have not been able to get myself to read any of the sequels. That may be Darryl Hannah's fault, though.

After reading "Black Hawk Down," this book was recommended to me by a friend. Although not as well written as Bowden's work, this book tells an amazing story of a group of SAS soldiers (British special forces) in Iraq during the first Gulf War. The experience they went through is absolutely amazing, and their physical ability is above and beyond anything I can imagine.

I've never read "The Lottery," but I mean to at some point. Maybe Shirley Jackson is best limited to a short story format because this felt disorganized, not in a good way, more like meandering for the sake of writing something longer. But looking at all the other reviews... I probably missed the point completely and couldn't recognize her writing style.

My friend Sarah got me this for my birthday, and it was a fantastic read! I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. Hillenbrand is an amazing researcher, and she spent years examining the fascinating life of Louis Zamperini. There's something in this for everyone - tales of athletic prowess, survival stories, and finally beautiful descriptions of brokenness and redemption. Not only that, but along the way you get some good history lessons. Highly recommend!

A book impossible to rate. If I were to rate it as a story I would give it 3.5 to 3.75 stars. If I were to rate the art, 3.75 to 4.0 stars. With overlapping story lines and characters Wonderstruck keeps it's readers engaged, interested and intrigued. A wonderful story for young people, and a valid look at Deaf culture.
