That smart-mouthed bully who used to get away with cheating, lying, and throwing spitballs at your head during Chem. has most likely grown up to be the hero of the frickin' universe. But what are you complaining about, you giddy basket-hanger? Boys will be boys.

The Devil and Hell does indeed exist right under our feet. I won't be going spelunking anytime soon thanks to this book. The characters are nicely developed, humans and non-humans alike. Completely entertaining.

Love this series! Lots of "chuckle-moments" in this action/adventure. Can't wait to read THE LAST OLYMPIAN.

Over 35 years after it was first written, Judy Blume’s Blubber still delivers a relevant view of bullying, from the perspective of fifth grader, Jill Brenner. After pudgy Linda presents a classroom assignment on the whale, she is nicknamed “Blubber” by Wendy, the most popular girl at school, and so begins a daily ritual of abuse. While Jill isn’t the leader of the pack, she joins right in, seemingly without any hesitation. Is it peer pressure? When Wendy first writes a note using the name Blubber, Jill smiles, not because she thinks it’s funny but because Wendy is watching her. After that, she participates wholeheartedly. Over the next few weeks, most of the kids laugh at Linda, call her names, spit at her, and trip her. They even physically hold her down to mess with her clothes and later, to force her to eat something unappealing. Linda lets it happen, doing very little to resist or fight back. In the end, they lock her in a closet and declare that she’s on trial. Of course, Wendy is the judge and this inquiry is anything but fair. Jill thinks that she’ll never be in Linda’s position, but she learns that popularity is fleeting and that her position in the classroom hierarchy only lasts as long as she is willing to go along with the crowd. These kids seem to feel no remorse. In fact, there is a general lack of respect for their neighbors, teachers and other students. They justify inappropriate behavior by claiming that the person gets what they deserve. They vandalize houses during Halloween and brag about it. Their teachers are oblivious and Jill’s parents are distracted, leaving the action to play out without any supervision. In many ways these kids are still so young, dressing up for Halloween or collecting stamps, and left to their own devices they sink to the lowest level. While none of the characters ever seem to gain much in the way of compassion or feeling, Jill does show readers that they should never let “other people decide what’s going to happen to you” and that there are ways to stand up for yourself. This matter-of-fact, true to life portrayal of classroom dynamics is a must read!

Very funny, self-depricating writing. I love that she sticks it to the man in the end. Of course, revenge never quite works out the way you imagine it.

This book had a lot of information about varying aspects of happiness - wealth, relationships, religion, etc. Though it referenced many scientific research studies, it was still an enjoyable read. I especially liked the part on wealth that said: Happiness = What We Have/(divided by)What We Want We can make ourselves happier just by wanting less!

Fiction. 44-year-old William lives in Boston, sells real estate, and is maybe in love with his best friend Edward. So, disclaimer, I found The Object of My Affection so boring I had to read it twice, just to make sure it was actually as bad as I remembered. It was. But in my unrelenting optimism (evident only here, in the part of me that deals with books), I decided to give McCauley another chance. I liked this book much better! It has no chapters, only titled section headings, which gives it a casual, modern feel. The writing is light and smooth with moments of dry humor and it's very easy to read. That's the good. On the bad side, the characters are hard to connect with because they're all underdeveloped and disaffected. Even William, who I wanted to like, was giving me nothing. The book has no heart; it's withholding in exactly the right way to keep me reading, hoping for a hint of a lasting emotional connection between two characters, any two characters, but it never delivers. The book ends about ten pages too soon! Damn you, McCauley! Finally, the story is set a year after 9/11 and I don't like how trivial that comes off. It's like background noise, or a song playing on the radio meant to evoke an era, like, "Oh, I remember that!" The problem is, all the things he's pointing out as post-9/11 artifacts are still things we're living with today; he's not saying anything new about it. Edward, the one character who, as a flight attendant, was most directly affected by the events of 9/11, has all his breakdowns off-stage, which to me suggests that the author wasn't at all interested in seriously dealing with the fallout of 9/11, he just liked it as set dressing. Three stars. The prose is good and the story is cohesive, if plodding. I liked it better than The Object of My Affection, but it still doesn't deliver an emotional climax. In fact, it might be lacking any kind of climax at all, but it's a quick, mostly fun, read.
