Really interesting window into growing up in Puerto Rico. Lively memoir.

So, I bought this book shortly after it first came out based on a good review I saw in Entertainment Weekly. For the first six months to a year I tried to read it at night and would get a page or two in and then fall asleep because I always came to bed so tired. It has been on my currently reading list this entire time and I was ready to finish it so I finally switched to the audiobook version. So glad I did! The narrator was fantastic. She did a great job with all the characters voices and really brought the story to life. So now on to my short review. In some ways this book is like a well written Twilight (horrible writing in that book). I mean the author seems to have a clue how to write and I enjoyed the prose. The book's mythology centers around vampires, demons, and yes witches and how they are all in modern day life. It is here that the vampire mythology reminded me of Twilight a bit. Her mythology that she created is fine and I can go with it, but I really long for the vamps of yesterday that can only come out at night and have to be invited inside. My biggest problem with the story is that it take FOREVER to get to the good parts. She drags parts out with details and some parts really could be cut. If you were to describe every single detail of your day thus far then you would be close to the way parts of this were written. Time passes slowly. And, the conflict between the warring factions of the book seems to pass really slowly as well. There are some major events in which you would be positive that immediate retaliation would be take place. But, no, weeks pass and it is assumed the other side is just going to wait to retaliate. That bugged me. The other gripe is that I kept feeling like she was constantly just adding stuff to be adding stuff. Oh and this too, and this too, oh, and this too. In some ways I guess she was trying to broaden the history of the mythology, but it was a little annoying. Oh, and for those that like books with tight endings, this doesn't have it. It ends in the middle of an event with the expectation you are moving directly to the 2nd book. This made me really glad I didn't finish this book when it first came out. That all being said, if you can hang through some of the slow parts it was a fun book. Deborah Harkness truly had me hooked by about 60% in and I found myself really looking forward to getting back to the book whenever I was away. So, I am planning on getting the 2nd book in the series to see where this story is going.

I like Kundra because he doesn’t imprison me in a fastened frame of a classic narration. Reading Kundra seems as if you meet an old friend after ages in a cafe shop, and while she/he relates her / his life story, you zip your coffee, listen to the cafe music, hear some chats and laughs at nabouring tables, look at the peddlers at side walk, or a passing tramvay, … as life is flowing around, …. کوندرا را به این دلیل بسیار دوست دارم که مرا در چهارچوب بسته ی یک روایت زندانی نمی کند. خواندن کونرا مثل این است که دوستی را پس از سال ها در یک کافه ملاقات کنید و در حالی که به قصه ی روزگار رفته ی او گوش می دهید، قهوه تان را می نوشید، به موسیقی که از بلندگوی کافه پخش می شود، گوش می کنید، گهگاه متوجه ی صحبت ها و خنده هایی از میزهای کناری می شوید، صدای عبور و مرور خیابان در پس پشت این همه جاری ست، دوره گردی چیزی می فروشد، عبور تراموای، و همه چیز، درست مثل خود زندگی، ... عشق های خنده دار، با ترجمه ی فروغ پوریاوری به فارسی منتشر شده1371

I remember being in a "play group" as a kid with other kids from my kindergarten/1st grade class and we'd go over to my teacher's house and she'd take us to the park and we'd play, swim etc. And then we'd go back and have story time. She read us books such as The Hobbit, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, and every Shel Silverstein book you can think of. One story time she read us The Phantom Toll Booth and I've loved that book to this day. Looking back it was probably one of the trippiest books I've ever read/been read. It brings back good memories.

***4.5 stars*** I don't usually read books written from a guy's perspective but I have to admit it was quite refreshing. I have nothing against the male point of view but that YA books are overwhelming female point of view books (at least the ones I pick up are). Beastly is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast and I really enjoyed it. And it can't hurt that Alex Pettyfer is playing Kyle/Adrian in the movie (lovely little visual there :D). I am one of those people who loves a good fairy tale retelling. Sometimes they are good and sometimes I just hate them but Beastly was one of the best that I've read. I enjoyed getting to know Kyle as an asshole (not that I liked him being an asshole but that I knew exactly what type of person he was to begin with) and then getting to know him as he grew to know himself. I found it really funny when his speech would change around Lindy and he would become really gentlemanly and then wonder where on earth those phrases came from. I really enjoyed Beastly and all it brought to the table. I wasn't so sure I would like it when I picked it up, but I loved it. You should read it.

I gave this book a five-star rating. I read it when I was fourteen, my dad had a first edition paperwork (where is that book today?) and it profoundly effected my outlook on everything from that point forward. Kerouac chronicles, in his usual fantasy way (people have money but seem free from the trappings of earning it -- how do they live? We don't know save for Kerouac describing getting odd day jobs here and there). He aptly described the Beat generation that he was so much a part of and which shaped the social consciousness of the later Hippie movement. It caused me to question many assumptions I had grown up with -- that striving in a middle class capitalist rut was all there was to hope for in life. I began to think of living a Dharma life and understanding the meaning of what its all about. The book stimulated me to explore other beat writers, zen buddhism and to basically question the world around me. Kerouac's writing is quick, tireless and real, even if his characters seem at times to live a charmed life.
