So many things can be said about this book. It is both brilliant, disturbing and yet at the same time for most of us highly unrealistic. It about the events after someone slaps a child defending his own child at a BBQ. You then see short stories about many of the people who attended the BBQ. These characters are despicable. They do terrible things to each other ranging from physical abuse, lie and cheat. Also drug use is extremely common. I can see where some people MIGHT draw SOME very limited parallels between themselves and the characters but the problem I have with this is that the according to the author this is set in 'urban Australia' and he believes this is a normal indication of urban Australia. Problem is these characters are terrible. not a redeeming trait amongst them. Being snobs they apparently all believe buying clothes at Target is only for sad little poor people. Each pax is selfish or gets involved with people they shouldn't (like married men with teenage girls). Two characters do drugs at a family barbeque etc. And the author asserts that this is normal Australia! Maybe he should stop hanging around the intellectual snobish crowd that he obviously deals with. This story is dealing with upper class bourgeois folk except for one couple who USED to be upper class bourgeois. On the other hand the story is brilliant at depicting different people's point of view. He brings up some interesting thought about life. I will remember some of the lines for life and do my best to live by them. I particularly likes Manolis and I'm suprised that he didn't end with that character's story. i felt that the young boy ending the novel was a weird non-ending. I suppose he is trying to show hope for the future but to me the character is just repeating errors of the past.

I am glad I read gone with the wind. It was a lot longer than I thought it would be when I decided to read it, but I found the history of the South during the Civil War fascinating. I also really enjoyed the story--until the last few hundred pages. I was ready for Scarlet to grow up a lot sooner than she did & got really frustrated with her attitude until her revelations at the very end of the book. But, any book that can keep a story going strong for 1500 pages is pretty impressive!

I felt bad for giving the book fight club a rating without actualy setting foot inside its pros. So i downloaded the audio book and for the last week listened on the way to work. Any time they make a movie about a film i feel let down. With the exception of A Clockwork Orange, that one shines like a beacon of hope, the film always sucks. This book shares so many of the same features as the film, so many plot elements, characters, scenes etc. that making connections is unavoidable. And with the impact the movie made on my life 8 years ago, honestly, i feel more of a kinship with the film then the novel. BUT, the feeling of the 2 is TOTALY different. Marla... Marla Singer Marla is clingy, marla is self destructive. Marla burns herself with cigarettes and sells clothes stolen from laundromats. She has her mothers liposuction fat in Jacks freezer. She has horrendous human butt-wipe sex with tyler. But shes not the same Marla from the film, this ones in love with Tyler. Shes a wreck, but a real human being. When she says "I want to have your abortion" its beacuse thats as close to a real human relationship as shes every experienced. In the end the novels really all about her. The films more about homo erotic posturing. Getting your rocks off with "touch therapy" and the real life promise of pain and violence. This is what connects with most people about the film. The wet packing sounds of fists crushing cartilage. Broken ribs and bloodied noses. Holes in your cheek that never heal. The thing that got me with the novel was the nihilistic rants about how life is pointless. Everything you ever love is destine to die, everything you build be thrown away. I find the "middle children of history" line a bit of a stretch. But the overall ethos gives me a chubby.

In the end, I still really liked this book. I can see how someone who suffered from cutting might be disappointed by Callie's story, in which the cutting and depression all boil down to a specific incident -- this is very different from someone who experiences mental illness from childhood on, so I could see a lot of people feeling isolated from the protagonist. But as a narrative, it is very strong, and Callie and her cohort are sympathetic. I believe that McCormick did do a lot of research and probably soul-searching to write it. And I love love love books that accurately portray psychotherapy. [Earlier:] Ah!! This reads so much like John Marsden! Or good Laurie Anderson! All y/a should aspire to this, I feel. This is the third y/a I've read in the last year that features a mute-by-choice protagonist. I thought I would be displeased with the use of second person to address the therapist, but somehow, maybe because the rest of the book is in first person, it just seems more intimate, and the therapist more highlighted as an important character. I think it was actually a smart choice, probably one that McCormick debated for a long time. I'm really impressed, and totally sucked in.

Very witty. At times, I was reminded of Wallace's "Infinite Jest," although I doubt the comparison will stand up to anything more than superficial scrutiny. my favorite quote: "But even his politeness was eerily precise; as if he'd had to learn about politeness in books, had skimmed through all the formulas of courtesy and rehearsed the ones he thought he'd need."

This is one of the first "travel books" I can recall ever reading. I definitely plan to look for more as I very much enjoyed it. You definitely can tell that Theroux' misanthropic personality colors a lot of what he sees and does, but that is okay. It is part of the journey and I wouldn't want to change it if it meant more bland writing. It is crazy to think how much the world has changed in the few short decades since he took his trip. Though some of the parts still remind me a bit of my own time in Southeast Asia, so it brought me a smile of warm familiarity. There are some laugh out loud anecdotes like about how whenever he reached rock bottom, there were Australians nearby. Or about a Canadian he met in a Kabul Insane Asylum that preferred life there to Canada. One thoughtful quote I enjoyed: "It is possible at a distance to maintain the fiction of former happiness - childhood or school days - and then you return to an early setting and the years fall away and you see how bitterly unhappy you were." Anyway, it is interesting to see how his personality shows the strain of travel as he gets closer to the end of the book and to the end of his journey. Overall, recommended for just about anyone! Very well done.

This is the first book of this series. It's really good, mostly because of the spy equipment she uses, which is creative on the authors part. I suggest this to the girls in our class because all the girls will like it.

Originally read: 4/8/2011 Re-read: 3/8/2012 “Poisoned, pursued and living with a psychopath. Not what I would consider the good life. Death has its perks.” This book was extremely good. Right from the first page, Maria V. Snyder caught my interest and I was so engrossed in reading it that I finished it in one sitting. For me, this was one those books that makes you call out aloud "Man! This is what you call a mind blowing read!” I can already see the Study series becoming my favorites. The story started off with Yelena taken out of the prison for execution when she is taken to Valek, Commander's chief of security, and is offered a choice, be executed for her crime or become the new food taster for Commander of Ixia. Even after enduring torture, cruelty and torment for years, Yelena chooses the latter. The world Maria V. Snyder created was so fascinating and magical. The plot was fast paced and so good. There was not a part where I lost a tiniest bit of my interest. With each passing page, my anticipation heightened and Maria V. Snyder didn’t disappoint me at all. I loved Yelena and her determination the most. She was tough, intelligent, dependable, courageous, loyal, and a fighter. She was the epitome of kick ass. The author put a lot of detail into poisons which was quite fascinating. The romance was understated, yet beautifully written. Ari and Janco added humor to the story. Poison study was action packed, filled with Mystery, murder, thrill and treason. After finishing the book,I had a huge grin on my face. I am so looking forward to reading the next two books, Magic Study and Fire Study. My favorite quote from the book: “Everyone makes choices in life. Some bad, some good. It's called living, and if you want to bow out, then go right ahead. But don't do it halfway. Don't linger in whiner's limbo.”
