winner of the booker prize for 2006, i think. I spent the first half of the book trying to figure out where she was going with the story....the second half realizing it was more about india/neighboring political conflicts/third world/colonialism than about a 'story'. This realization helped me get through the book because the story, frankly, isn't quite compelling or interesting enough to make you want to read 350 pages about it. She does paint a thought provoking picture about immigrants who come to the U.S. 'illegally' - how they sustain themselves here; and their tenuous connections to their homeland.

I really enjoy authors that take you to a place you'd never think possible until you're already in the middle of it.

What a moving book, the end had me in tears. Although the author and I have had completely different lives and experiences, I have to say that I recognized parts of myself and my family in his story. If the mark of great art is how it illuminates the common experience of being human, Dubus III has succeeded.
It was a long slog through this book. It wasn’t that the writing was poor or the material was not worthwhile. It was the dispiriting struggle after struggle to save endangered species that begged for breaks between chapters. But I kept coming back to learn about the plight of the red wolf, California condor, golden lion tamarin, black-footed ferret, whooping crane (you know, all the big names). There are surprising similarities: a wild population dwindles to a few individuals, spurring a desperate effort to save the species from extinction by making them captives. Challenges with trapping, breeding, raising, and ultimately release vary by species, but challenges are guaranteed. The most discouraging sections of this book were the human-human conflicts. Surprisingly, the ones emphasized here were not the traditional nature-lovers vs developers/farmers/hunters/loggers that threaten animals and their habitats (although this is a deep and gnarly divide). The combatants were scientists and conservationists who earnestly want to save a particular species, often divided by a thorny question: how should limited financial resources be allocated between managing the wild population and maintaining the captive population. Why release bred animals into the wild while mortality rates are still ridiculously high? But why build up captive stock when remaining suitable habitat shrinks away so there may be nowhere to release them in the future? Ow. Some of these programs seem ultimately futile, but so much effort has been invested it seems impossible to walk away and call it all a waste. The simplest lesson I took away is: Animals do a BETTER (and CHEAPTER) job taking care of themselves than we can, but we HAVE to provide them with HABITAT and other conditions that will enable them to do so. We need to jolt ourselves out of waiting for an eleventh-hour rescue, because by then it’s a nearly insurmountable task.

This book in the series deals with Sookie trying to save Bill from the people who captured him. But really, when we find out what Bill did, I don't think Sookie should have saved him. The book leaves us wondering what is going to happen between Sookie and Bill, and since I don't watch True Blood, I have no idea what's going to happen. I am hoping that they break up and don't get back together!

I do enjoy the books even though I prefer the show. The third book was really, really bad though...

it has a good message, but can be a little too wordy to keep kids attention

I absolutely love this book. My daughter brought it home from a scholastic book fair. Wittilda has a heart of gold and wants to help everyone including the 47 stray cats that she has taken into her home to live. Running low on rats for their food she has to go find a job. This is such a fun book with super illustrations. There's loads of humour, bright colors, and clever little details to search for, hidden among the hubbub on each page. I promise you Wittilda will make your laugh and win your heart.
