Excellent in parts that deal with the changes that are needed to transition us to a more sustainable way of living. But, like most peak oil experts, he overstates the peak oil case and over-dramatises the issues that will come from oil shortages.

This book in my opinion fails on most (if not all) accounts. Plot-wise, it barely kept me interested and just drudged from one thing to the next with just barely a thought. Character-wise, I hated the main character. If Salinger meant for this guy to be unlikeable, then he succeeded. Holden is a hypocritical, sporadic, unlikeable jerk and he doesn't even seem to realize half of this. He spends half the time dwelling on the fact that everyone is "phoney" when he's "phoney" himself! So obviously this fails to entertain. How about morality? Well, when he isn't swearing his little teenage mind off or deciding not to have sex with prostitutes, he ends up decided to just go along with what people are telling him to do and stay where he is and have counseling (or whatever it is he's doing while he's discussing his life story). The Catcher in the Rye is my least-favorite book for a reason. It fails to capture my interest while also failing to keep me uplifted. What's the point of it? If all it's good for is it's symbolism and connecting to the teenage mind, then first of all: Symbolism only works if the material is interesting enough, and second of all: I never even once related with this jerk or felt any empathy towards him.

I'd rather run the New York City Marathon a thousand times than read this book again.

Fact: I was never part of a Science Fair. It's one of those things that I'm a little sad to have missed out on. But Dutton offers a chance to live vicariously through some kids who are really part of the Science Fair scene. Twelve students are profiled in individual chapters, which alternate between a student (as of the book's writing) headed for the 2009 Intel International Science Fair after winning a qualifying local competition and a participant in a previous year who has become Science Fair Legend. Their projects are not simple baking soda volcanoes or skin cells under microscopes; these are kids who have done things like build a nuclear reactor or create a home heating system out of salvaged materials. Dutton takes the reader deep into the world of the Science Fair, interviewing not only the students, but also parents, teachers, and mentors. The young scientists reveal themselves to be teenagers much like their less scientifically-inclined peers, just kids with some quirky interests and an uncommon drive to explore. If you think you know what a Science Fair - or a Science Fair entrant - is all about, this book may surprise you. An entertaining and informative peek into the lives of the next generation of scientific discovery for teens and adults alike.

It's got Stephanie, Grama Mazer, Joe and Ranger, Lula, Diesel, some monkeys and the fire farter. What's not to love?

I read this book for a book club I recently joined. Amazing. It isn't something I would have picked up otherwise, but am very glad I did. Compelling characters; interesting story; educational all around. I will definitely pick up more of Courtenay's work.

Working with kids made me hate him more but a interesting book none the less.

Utterly forgettable fantasy that makes LoTR seem nuanced.

This is one of those beautiful books in which nothing much happens and yet you never want it to end. I could not get these simple characters out of my head and although I read this book about 7 years ago, I think of it often. Anyone who liked Willa Cathers "Death Comes For The Archbishop" will also love this book.

Filled with annoying, drugged-out teen girls and Barr's usual horrible writing. I'm giving it two stars because it didn't have typos like the last one (maybe they were cleaned up from the hardcover edition?) and because there were outdoor scenes in a snowy wilderness requiring survival skills. Yes, superhuman survival skills; any normal person would be dead of hypothermia and blood loss after a night walking around in winter in Yosemite wearing a turtleneck and a fleece on a cracked ankle and a gunshot wound. Also you're not supposed to drink from mountain streams, which often contain giardia and give you giardiasis. Maybe if you already have a cracked ankle and a gunshot wound you don't care about a severe diarrheal infection, though. Also a not very realistic scene where the hot guy, who is ten years younger than Anna, who is approaching fifty, wants to sleep with her even though her face is all bruised. Mm hmm. And she almost does, even though she has just gotten engaged to her fiance who is petsitting back in Mississippi for her. But then she is given a note from the fiance, which reminds her that she is engaged. Sure. I wouldn't mind all the non-realism if Barr would just write better.
