Started reading this when it first came out and have yet to finish. I guess since I have literally grown up with this book, I do not want to see the finality of its end. One day.....

For a book with such an interesting premise (expats in Buenos Aires), this one was interminably boring. I think a lot of it had to do with the author's disaffected, Hemingway-esque writing style. (An expat writer who idolizes Hemingway...how novel.) There was also the inexplicable way she shifted between first and third person for her two main characters, and the way boring digressions on, say, plant species or water treatment practices would suddenly crop up in the narrative. (I guess these had some metaphorical point, but they were so painful to read that I didn't care.) Even the descriptions of Buenos Aires were so vague that they would only really resonate with someone who's been there before. There were a few passages describing loneliness as a condition of the expat life that were nice, but otherwise I wish I'd given this one a pass.

I thought this book was pretty good. The way that it ended was great and I can't wait to give another book a try. Don't want to spoil to much of the book for anyone wanting to read it.

My mother warned me before I started the book so I shall warn you as well, because it was good to go into this book armed with the information I was told. Ignore the summary of the book, or most of the summary at least. It's written to sound like another Da Vinci Code with hundred year old secrets being unearthed... but that's not the case. Yes, Thomas Jefferson is involved... but maybe a page's worth altogether, not even enough to merit being mentioned on the back cover. I think if you pick up the book expecting old American mysteries being uncovered, you will be greatly disappointed, as my mom was. That's why she told me... and I wasn't disappointed with the book. It was actually a good read. I'm not all that into mysteries, especially modern day ones with cliched twists. But this book still kept me relatively interested. A couple of times I was surprised with the things unearthed and revealed, but a lot of times I saw the "twist" coming. Those of you who are huge mystery buffs and could probably out-Sherlock Mr. Holmes himself will probably find this book rather tedious after the first dozen chapters after everything had been set up. This is a book I would classify as a light mystery that makes you feel smart... or dumb depending on how knowledgeable you are about the government and history. Okay, so it's a light mystery for smart people, a complicated and confusing read for those who are ignorant to things besides Paris Hilton's latest shopping excursion. For me it was kind of in the middle, I'm far from dumb, I do know my history fairly well and I'm not completely ignorant on the goings-on of the government, though I think not knowing that much helped me suspend reality with this book. Any government official who may read this book will probably be thinking, "You can't do that!" "The president is not allowed to..." "That's not even plausible in this day and age!" throughout their entire read. A bonus point was that the characters were not your stereotypical leads in a mystery novel. None of them could be described as glamorous. The book had just enough action to keep you reading but not so much you became overwhelmed and bored with it right away. It also starts with a bang, and that first chapter may be a good indication of whether or not you're going to like the book. So if you're not dumb or a government official (don't even start with the comments that those are the same thing) more than likely you'll find this book a fun read. Just remember what I said... this is far from another Da Vinci Code, despite what the back cover may try to tell you. You go into it with that mind set, you will be sorely disappointed.

i loved this book, but there is certainly a lot in here that any lesser writer could not get away with.

Kundera writes my favorite philosophy. It's good nutrition for the mind.

Equally entertaining and informative, The Greatest Show on Earth is an absolute blast to read. Dawkins' no-quarter attitude towards the unthinking creationist masses is brightly on display here with his witty comments and tongue-in-cheek statements finding their way onto the page throughout the book as he attempts to explain the frank and factual nature of evolution and the undeniable role it has played in life on our planet. I found his sense of humor much to my liking to say the least, but this is not a funny book. It is full of great examples, information, and insights. I could see this book being of benefit to any and everyone who picked it up.

Well-written, insightful, enjoyable, a page-turner, especially the section with Obama's extended family in Kenya. Fascinating exploration of race, culture, identity, and the father he never really got to know.

Interesting and entertaining -- documents author's trips to various places where psychedelic drugs are part of the local culture (iboga with Bwiti tribe in Gabon, ayahuasca in Brazil, the Burning Man Festival) and his experiences with such substances. Lots of background information, some info on ethnobotany, thought-provoking descriptions of ecotourism.
