This is an incredibly incredibly ambitious and thoughtful, much more subtle and wide-ranging than the previous works by Faulks that I've read. It deals with some of the same issues that he's dealt with in his previous works—the spectre of the First World War hangs over this as it does in Birdsong—but this is a much more expansive book, one which looks at sanity and insanity, what it is to be human, what it is to think. This can, admittedly, make the book a little heavy-going at times, especially since Faulks manages a very admirable pastiche of the kind of writing to which medical researchers were prone in the nineteenth century, but I found it fascinating and thought-provoking, sufficiently so that I devoured it in the departure lounge/on the plane—which is definitely a sign of approval given that it's over six hundred pages long, and the flight was very much a short haul one. The prose is beautifully lucid, evocative without ever being anything like purple, and Faulks somehow manages the feat of shifting the tone of the novel almost imperceptibly as it progresses, so that the opening feels very appropriate to its setting (the early 1870s) while its conclusion is very much of the twentieth century. If the novel has a flaw, it is that its characters always take second place to its ideas; Thomas and Jacques, Sonia and Kitty, though finely drawn, are never characters which seize the imagination.

Louis Sachar is nearly unparalleled in his ability to keep the momentum brisk and the characters sharp. I still don't understand how to play bridge, but his novel is so good, you don't really have to.

A novel about the rise and fall of a Scottish rock bank, told from the perspective of its bass player, Daniel Weir (nickname: Weird). Nothing revelatory, but since, as some of you may know, I’m fascinated by band dynamics and performance personas, there was a lot for me to enjoy in this. Especially since Banks’ opening description of Danny states that he’s tall, with lank, greasy black hair, and a hooked nose—it’s Snape in a band! (Seriously, I could not shake this image for the entire rest of the book.) But oddly, what I think I enjoyed most was the descriptions of Danny (once he’s retired and gone into hiding, pretending to be somebody else) getting drunk and wandering around Glasgow with his buddies. The aimless drunk Scottish banter—that’s what I loved. Perhaps because it seemed the most real?

The book was interesting but you didn't learn too much about mtivation or how anyone felt. Even Alice is not fully explored. This was mostly a book written by a worshipper of the Alice Waters mystique.

Tape - good book - enjoy tapes of these books on the commute. More technical info than I would enjoy in a book.

When my mother gave me this book and said, "I think you will like this; I read it over a vacation in a week when I was your age," I took one look at the massive text and couldn't believe it. She also said that I reminded her of the characters....a statement to this day I take pride in.... And that is exactly what I learned from this book: that pride is most beautiful thing, and to live on this earth means that one must understand its reality, and learn to use one's mind to make it what one wants it to be. It is about truly loving life and all that it means to 'live' it. It is the reason why I understand myself as a man who belongs on earth.... It is very long (almost 1200 pages), so get ready for an epic. I won't try to say it is great literature, though if the style fits the person who is reading it, it will certainly be an amazing read. It can be long-winded and wordy at times, but what philospher isn't? My advice: stick with it through the first half of the first section: it takes it bit to get going in the book, but once it starts, it is worth it.... To the proposition that we all have inside of us the inherent values to be heros: we just need to learn the virtues that will bring those values out of us... C.S. Leary

It's so enjoyable to read a novel that imagines a portion of Cleveland that was laid out in the shape of Jayne Mansfield, or includes the idea of a giant man-made desert in Ohio. These are wonderfully inventive ideas and they're only two of the many in Wallace's debut. And yet it never really adds up to much. Unlike Infinite Jest, which I found so emotionally effective, everything in The Broom of the System seems to happen at a distance: much of the plot, such as it is, takes place away from the scenes in the book; and I never found myself empathizing with the characters. A couple of the reviews I read connected The Broom of the System with John Irving's The World According to Garp and now I find myself thinking about how the stories told by characters within those two novels function. While Garp's stories are pretty good--especially the one he tells his kids about the dog and the cat--Rick Vigorous' stories in The Broom of the System are wonderfully flawed. They never quite rise to the level of good stories, which is perfect since he's not supposed to be a good writer.
In some ways, it's kind of a surprise that a guy wrote this book. In others, not so much...

sizi baş döndürücü aşk ve mutluluğun doruklarına taşıyan kelimeler.
Bir lise birinci sınıf öğrencisi, okulun yıllık fon artışına katılmayı ve okul zorbalarının gazabını uyandırmayı reddediyor. Çok iyi bir kitap.
