I feel terrible--but I am not going to finish this book. I thought it would be more about the political effects of globalization and how different countries have dealt with it. But I am 200 pages into it and it is mostly talking about the economics of globalization, which I am finding painfully boring. I dread finishing it, so I am going to give it up and read something more enjoyable.

Great story--unexpected ending! If you like stories about ghosties, this is a good one...

A touching childhood book. I'm so happy they have deemed it worthy of a movie if ony to spread the story. As usual, the best childhood books tell meaningful stories with a mythlike simplicity that gets to the heart of human experience far more than avaunt-garde stuff.

My dad gave this to me - he said he I thought I would like it...we will see....the first few chapters are pretty good...didn't finish so apparently not so great. But a book my dad would be in to - Vonnegut-esque...

This book was slower than the previous two. Like Stone of Tears, this book seemed to be setting up future books because it had to introduce new people and information.

Such a good idea for a book. It takes all the best parts of Patrick O'Brian and Anne McCaffrey and mixes them together in one great action packed dragon soup. How could you go wrong with this. You're right. You can't. It is physically impossible The language is the first thing I noticed and loved. It is seamless and easy to understand, but is undeniably old fashioned and perfect for the time period Ms. Novik chose. The gentlemanly airs everyone puts on, and the insults to honor if you but look at someone askance, had me grinning and begging for more. Indeed, a few times Captain Will Laurence was insulted or demanded an apology, and I wasn't even quite sure what had gone wrong. No one is allowed to step out of line on Laurence's watch, no sir. Temeraire is thoroughly charming, smart and powerful, yet with an innocent naiveté that completely won me over. It made me remember my first foray into the world of Anne McCaffrey, and daydreaming of Impressing a gold dragon. The same emotions overcame me here. You know what I want? I want Sims 3 Pets to have a dragon expansion pack. Screw unicorns, give me a dragon. I would play the hell out of that. Unfortunately, having a dragon in this universe means you are conscripted into the Aerial Corps without any choice. All dragons are the property of the Crown. It seems like such a waste to use something so majestic as a dragon as a bomber plane. Of course, they basically end up doing exactly that in the Anne McCafrey universe as well...but something about firing a gun at a dragon seems so barbaric. I hope Temeraire doesn't remain in the fighting corps long, I really want him to be happy and retire with Laurence some place warm and sandy. And this is after only one installment of the Temeraire series! I can't wait to read more. This book isn't perfect, even if I like to gush about it. Not too much actually happened, and the love interest falls flat. However, this being the first in a series, the set up for more happening in this world is ripe. If you like anything about dragons or the Napoleonic wars, this book will be a treat for you.

I am astounded by how this man made a huge positive impact on the lives of many people. I don't like the writing style at points, but it does the job of giving a blow-by-blow account of how Greg Mortenson got schools opened. It inspired me and changed how I think of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Fun little read for Harry Potter fans; just reconfirms that much like Tolkien, J.K. Rowling has invented her very own universe and all the things within it.
The NY Times called James Sallis's Drive, "a perfect piece of noir fiction," but as usual they've got their heads up their asses, since Drive is a book that would be more accurately described as, "a perfect piece of shit." Sallis is actually a pretty good writer line-by-line and paragraph-by-paragraph, but he can't construct a book-length narrative to save his life. Drive jumps around in time, mostly to disguise the fact that its plot is stupid, its main character is less interesting than Of Mice and Men's Lenny during a nap, and every action in the book is contrived. Hard-boiled crime fiction should be simple, at least on the surface. When it's not, it's usually because the author has nothing to say.
The Giver in a new book jacket with some Hunger Games thrown in for good measure.
