Creative Mistry _reative_dhiman — A very long essay on the author's theory of why civilizations collapse. The first couple hundred pages are an interesting read. Unfortunately, by the end of this book his theory gets hammered over and over again.

Arina Blagoveshchenskaya puzgins — I didn't enjoy reading this. The plot moved slowly, and though it was well written, I wasn't captivated by the author's style. However, the story is striking and it wierdly unforgettable. The book is so bizarre that it's worth noting; not to mention, the imagery is quite powerful.

Carol Cummins _arol_ummins — Bianca is the DUFF, the designated, ugly, fat friend of her group of three. At least that's what Wesley Rush tells her, and she is furious, but it really bothers her. Bianca has a lot to deal with. Her parents' marriage is failing. Her father is drinking again. Her mother is basically MIA. And what does Bianca do to deal with this? She starts sleeping with Wesley Rush. Bianca and Wesley both experience a lot of growth in Kody Keplinger's novel. And I just had to keep listening to see how it would all turn out. However, there's a lot more teenage sex in this book than I'm comfortable with. That being said, I liked these characters, and I kind of felt a little proud of them for facing their demons in the end.

Ovidiu Tomoiag tomoiagovidiu — I have been reading all the Tom Perrotta books and I think this one might be the saddest, in terms of what it reveals about the nature of dreams and in this case, not knowing when to let them go. Many of the later books involve some middle aged person undergoing a crisis (with the exception of Joe College, which is about a 20-something) but this one is about a somewhat younger character and has the funny yet depressing theme of growing up and getting over your adolescence. This is the story of Dave, guitarist in the wedding group the Wishbones, who somewhat impulsively decides to ask his girlfriend of fifteen years to marry him. The fact that he has been with the same girl...on and off...for so long indicates a serious problem, an inability to get over himself and commit to something other than his music. Additionally, there is his affair with a woman in the city, which tests and challenges his upcoming marriage and makes him wonder why he is going through with it. He is hanging on to his dream of being a rock star when the dream has long since moved past him. It is heartbreaking, but you spend more time laughing out loud at the way the story unfolds. I enjoy Tom Perrotta's books so much I almost hate that I read them so fast. I also think that he has an excellent sense for writing about relationships, often nailing the many feelings we go through when we are in one. Soooo good! Bad Haircut next!

Pascal Pascal plo — I'd give it 3.5 if that was an option. A pretty fun read, but ultimately a little too floopy-doo for me. Lots of slightly magical thins occur in many of the stories, and I like things ultra-realistic and kind of mundane, to be honest. Also, my husband is in love with Miranda July and bought this book (in hardcover!) as soon as it was available. He also watched the Blonde Redhead video in which she does a bunch of odd, tall, frail poses...with the sound off! I can't help but be charmed by that, hence the half-star mark-up.
