Extremely graphic and highly disturbing, but a gripping page-turner nonetheless. Lucy's mom is a hoarder. Highly paranoid that she's going to need something someday, she never never throws anything away, never allows anyone to touch her so-called "treasures". Old newspapers & magazines, plastic containers from take-out meals, mounds of items bought en masse at bargin sales, and countless other odds and ends create unsanitary mountains of filth and trash that all but bury every surface. Black mold edges the drapes of every window. The overpowering stench of rot permiates the air. The interior of the house is no better than a landfill. This is the environment in which Lucy had spent most of her life. Deeply, almost guiltily ashamed of her mother and her homelife, Lucy does all she can to hide her living situation from classmates and neighbors. Even Lucy's best friend has never set foot in her house. Then one morning Lucy returns home to find her mother's dead body sprawled beneath a toppled stack of old magazines. Instead of calling 9-1-1, Lucy decides to clean up the house. Her reasoning (saving her family the embarassment the sight of all that filth will surely bring if made public) is twisted, selfish, and almost as disturbing as her mother's reasoning for keeping every scrap of whatever that makes its way into the house. But as I continued deeper into the story, I began to sympathize with more and more with Lucy's plight. As the day and the cleaning progress, Lucy uncovers lots of unexpected (and unpleasent) things: long-lost items, huge (unpaid) credit card bills from her mom's mass purchasing, heaps of clothes with the tags still attahed, food that had been rotting for who knows how long... There were several places I phycsically cringed (the maggots in the kitchen, discovering a long-dead hamster buried under the woodchips of a forgotten cage, to name a few). The ending of the story finds a desperate Lucy taking a page from her favorite Johnny Depp movie, Gilbert Grape, and setting the whole house on fire. She feels there is no other alternative. While this story was exceptionally creative and very well-written, it was also very difficult to read--to keep reading. There were several times where I almost put the book down, unable to stomach the gravity of what Lucy was going through. In the end, I think the only thing that got me through was the same sort of morbid curiosity one gets when driving past a horrific accident on the roadway. You can't not gawk. I couldn't not finish the book. Still, I predict this one will win awards. I would like to stress that this book is NOT for younger readers. Those with a weak stomach (who become grossed out easily) may want to pick up something lighter.

A book that has been on my 'to-be-read' list for a very long time. I honestly don't know why I haven't read it before because it was very good. Extremely good. I wish I had read it earlier - it would have raised my standards for urban fantasy. War for the Oaks is said to be the book that defined the entire genre of urban fantasy and I can definitely see why and how. This raises the 'elves in the city' concept to a whole new level for me. Every other urban fantasy I've read got blown away after I finished this one. Basic plot: Eddi is a musician who gets pulled into the war between the two warring factions of Faerie. She ends up getting more invested into the war than she had planned as she makes friends with the phouka who is guarding her and discovers that some of her band members are Faerie themselves. HIGHLY recommended.

A new favourite story of the Enderverse.

The cover is terrible and not at all reflective of the story it contains. Get past that and pick this up, anyway. Set in the South in the early 1960's, The Help tells the story of African American women who worked in white homes, raising their children and keeping their houses. Stockett assumes the voices of three women, and does this beautifully. I was kept up into the early hours of the morning more than once while reading this, as I was unable to put it down. This book contains much food for thought, and will be a favorite among book clubs.

This was a fun mystery book. Students would like it because they would be able to try and figure out the mystery for themselves throughout the book. This would be best for the older grades because it could be confusing for the younger grades.

THree shor stories make up this relatively short anthology by J D Robb (Nora Roberts). The first two shorts were the typical fast paced thrillers Robb has created using the ficticious characters Eve Dallas, Roark, Peabody and McNab; law enforcement officials at NYPSD in the year 2060. Roark is an expert civilian, he is also a former crook and the husband of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. Robbs stories, whether short or full novel length would make an awesome television series, that is if they could locate the right actors to fill the part of the characters Robb readers have come to know and love. Now let's discuss the third short in this book.... As noted previously, this story simply did not cut it! It was as if someone else wrote the story, trying despately to copy Robb's style. I felt lost on several occasions and had to re-read several pages to absorb what was happening. Oh well, as the saying goes....two out of three ain't bad

As I am not a very religious person, I forced myself to read a bit of the Bible before I tackled this book, mainly the parts about Jacob, Dinah and Josef. This books is written from Dinah's point of view (which never got much "play" in the Bible). I would describe this book as a lot of juicy biblical drama. You do not have to be religious or have much knowledge of the bible to enjoy this book. I think any woman would enjoy reading this. I would give it 3 stars but once I read the last chapter I had to give it one extra star. The last chapter was my favorite and was so beautifully written. Very poetic. Ladies I think you will enjoy this one!

Trevor Barnet is the scion of a family high in the tobacco empire. His father is a lawyer in the company and Trevor has a so so make work type of a job with the company to meet the requirements of his trust fund. Mainly he is leading a playboy life although not a carefree one. The company is fighting a huge class action lawsuit and if they loose his trust will take a hit along with the company. Trevor is brought into a plan by one of the executives and made an unwitting dupe in his plan to disrupt the lawsuit by shutting down the tobacco industry. Meanwhile Trevor has fallen for a young lawyer who was working for an antismoking lobbying firm. Lots of back and forth maneuvering as the various sides try to get the upper hand. An interesting plot, but some how it was a drag for me. One of those books you have to push your self to keep reading, not one that you hate to put down.

My full review is here: http://readnowsleeplater.wordpress.co... Very unexpected ending! Opal grows more and more untrusting as the Council and others seem to conspire against her, while she tries to figure out her place in the world. Her instinct is to protect Sitia and try to be a hero (a title she often feels she doesn't deserve), but she suffers disappointment after disappointment. Will Opal overcome these trials and win back her ability to trust, or will she cross over to the dark side? Oh yeah, and I'm *in* the book. You'll see.

İlginç ve unutulmaz. Hafif yürekli veya ilkel için değil, bu hikaye bir adamın kendi kişisel cehennemine ve tekrar geri dönüp, Dante'nin Inferno'sunda çerçevelenen aşk ve sevgililerin birbiriyle iç içe geçmiş hikayeleriyle dolu hikayesini anlatıyor. İnanılmaz.
