Was very surprised - I didn't think I'd like this ata all, but I found myself reading it nonstop.

The author grew up in Iowa where he really enjoyed trapping animals. Then he got a job in Montana for Animal Damage Control (later renamed to Wildlife Services), an agency in USDA, that was supposed to deal with predators that allegedly killed livestock. Early in the book there's a picture of Niemeyer with scores of pelts from the coyotes that he killed. He later represented Animal Damage Control when wolves were making there way from Canada into the states, sometime before the reintroduction. He presents a very balanced viewpoint of the wolf situation in the states, illuminating the hysteria on both sides of the issue - no one is neutral on this. He was very adept at skinning dead livestock and determining the cause of death. Turns out that many of the claims that ranchers had for wolves killing their livestock were not true - the sheep/cattle often died of other causes, but wolves happened to be in the area. A very interesting read. Lots of humorous anecdotes.

I really, really loved this book. it was so, um, delightful! wonderful! "I knew damn well I'd never be a movie star. It's too hard; and if you're intelligent, it's too embarrassing."

Unfortunately, I read this book after I saw the movie version, so the pace of the novel felt way too slow and I got frustrated with it. Seriously though, after Frodo figures out that he has the Ring, it takes him three months just to leave the Shire! But everyone else seems to really love this book, so I wouldn't take my word for it. Update: About a year after reading this, I picked up The Two Towers on impulse and started reading it. I went on to read The Return of the King, and found both books much more fun to read than the first book in the series. A note about The Return of the King: a good chunk of the end is just appendices; most of them are pretty boring and you can skip them without feeling too guilty.

The “and Me” part of the title is on the back cover. So, at first glance it looks as though the title is “The New Girl…” Peculiar book. I didn’t get it. I’m not a fan. I expected to be. I knew it was about a new girl at a school. I had to attend schools out of my area a few times while in elementary school, and I was used to kids coming into my classes mid-year. While working in school settings, having kids come in mid-year was not uncommon. So, I thought I’d enjoy that aspect. I did like the iguana’s name; it was clever and funny. I did appreciate some aspects of one friendship that develops. I did like that the kids looked up some information in a book. This might be a book some boys would like, or kids who are fascinated with lizards, and perhaps it would be a good book to use to discuss bullying, but I’m not certain it would be the best choice. I personally would not choose it to read to kids, and definitely not to kids about to change schools, even though there’s basically a reassuring ending. There was a lot of mean spiritedness, which can have a fine place in children’s stories, but here it wasn’t addressed, at all really. I was confused as a whole bunch of bullying and meanness was sort of thrown out there but nothing of import was said about it. The illustrations are okay. I liked them, but I didn’t fall in love with them. Nothing about this book was a standout for me. I’m afraid I’m not getting something as I just looked and this book has a high average rating here.

April 6, 2009 By Darlene L. Sanford BOOK REVIEW The Kite Runner written by the Khaled Hosseini is a fictional novel about the growth in an Afghani man who struggles to accept the choices of his childhood. This world literature story was composed to address the societal conflicts the main character was subjected to. The author’s work focused on the relationships between father and son, child and servant, and man with the world. Oh Afghanistan descent, Hosseini addressed the issues his people had to embrace with the Russian tyranny. Although Hosseini incorporated this political struggle between races, the story line begins with the dynamic main character Amir. He lives in Kabul, Afghanistan in an extravagant mansion with his father and their two servants. Hassan is Amir’s servant but more of a brother and dear friend. All through their childhood Hassan defended Amir and did for him. Little did they know the kite tournament would break their bond forever. Amir’s cowardice was fought for by Hassan by protecting their prize from the neighborhood bullies. In that moment, Amir would grow to hate himself for not once fighting for the friendship he shared with Hassan. Amir’s relationship with his father, Baba, was not steady either. Baba was the diplomatic, outspoken Pashtun Afghani. He held his tongue for no one considering his view on politics. His interest in his son Amir was rocky on accounts that Amir would write stories instead of learn to fight. Baba tended to favor his servant’s son Hassan more for some reason. The father-son bond was not fully existent but in a way, they were trying. Not only had an incident drive them apart, Russian government and the Taliban was taking over Kabul. Baba and Amir had to flee to America where all would change. Baba worked at a gas station to fund Amir through school. Though Amir was not becoming a lawyer like his father had wished, their relationship was turning for the best. Baba was listening to his stories and spending time with his son. When Amir and Baba were getting along, Amir was still haunted by his childhood actions. One day he received a phone call from the family friend Rahim Khan. This was Amir’s chance of redemption on the line. Hesitant of course, he complied with Khan’s wishes and fled home to Afghanistan. There he would then see the home he once shared deteriorate before his eyes. He was surprised to see the poverty and desperation in Kabul but he had a mission to fulfill and complete for Hassan’s sake. Amir would have to face his childhood adversary and triumph. The voyage would be difficult and eye-opening but Amir would finally mature from returning “home”. The Kite Runner was a captivating tale of adventure, self-forgiveness, and Afghani culture. Hosseini did an excellent job keeping the setting, language, and character development accurate to that of Afghani culture. In the setting, the novel described the bazaar and the attire of characters. He incorporated the Farsi names as far as language was concerned. With development of each character he used decent actions like how Baba treated Amir. This world literature piece was epic and culturally correct. While reading this novel, I lost interest only because this was a new genre to me. I had never read something with a Middle Eastern story line. I grew to understand Hosseini’s work by applying it to my life experiences. I have had friends that failed to defend my honor. Hosseini reached his point that man has a mind of his own. He does not have to conform to society’s standards. Amir learned that his friendship with Hassan was purposeful and well-needed. They needed each other. After reading this novel I grew and understanding that themes like: “forgive and forget” and “love yourself” are international. I enjoyed the fact that I felt confident afterwards and ready to close old chapters of self-guilt. Amir may have seemed cowardly in not fighting for Hassan but he redeemed himself in the end. There was always time for improvement and atonement. Hosseini proved that a parent-child relationship molds the adult that the child becomes. Khaled Hosseini’s debut novel The Kite Runner gives an appealing and dramatic story that the reader can truly learn and adapt from. The book will withstand the test of time as long as society judges man. I felt motivated to overcome the forces that were constricting me from victory. The Kite Runner is for all ages, genders, and races to learn how to move on from mistakes. I would recommend The Kite Runner because it was educational and cultural. It revealed Afghani realties. Hosseini addressed in fiction an experience that immigrants could relate to and Americans could learn.

So I started out liking this book a lot because it was something different from what I usually read when it comes to historical romance, but throughout the book I just couldn't bare to continue anymore. I stopped half way through and started reading the second part, "The Viscount Who Loved Me." For some reason, "The Duke and I" started to resemble "Love Only Once" by Johanna Lindsey. Both the heroine's characters started out strong, but then half way through the book they became dull and annoying. I didn't really like the fact that Daphne fell in love soo fast, and pretty much took advantage of Simon. Simon, on the other hand, seemed to be just too nice. I get the fact that he was enchanted by her, but come on, you have morals too! Don't get me wrong, I like it when a woman has control, but Daphne's character just became more and more irritating as I continued reading. A part of me wanted to finish this book, hoping that a miracle would happen, but I just have that gut wrenching feeling that I'm not going to like what I read which will only further piss me off. Who knows, maybe one day when I'm really really bored, I'll pick this book up again and force myself to finish it. Until then, its not likely to be on my top to-read list.

I love this book so far. It's very pertinent to our times and I have learned a lot about Turkey by reading it. Beautifully written.

The writing style of this book was fine, but the topic was so boring. Who needs another boring pro-Indian book? I'm sorry that I also have the second one to read. This author needs to research more than just the politically correct evrsion of Indian life. Maybe she should watch "Apocolypto" if she doesn't have the ability to read more than one side of things.
