Sharon Broadley sharonbroa49c5 — This is a weird one. Apparently (I looked this up, because the book was so weird) Christie wrote a series of short stories about Poirot for some magazine and these stories were mashed together into this book. You can sort of tell that something like this is up, because the mashing didn't work all that well and things still seem a little disjointed. But really, the main problem here is that Poirot is fighting a team of supervillains, and he uses disguises and smoke bombs and has to find their secret underground lair and the whole thing is just...odd. It comes off like Poirot fan fiction. I mean, he's the same character and all that, but the things he is doing are just not what I want Poirot to do. And the supervillains make no sense. They are a Chinese mastermind, a French woman scientist, an American billionaire, and an English master of disguise. How did these people get together? Why are they a team? Do they have any motive to speak of? They just want to take over the world and cause anarchy, for some reason. Sometimes Christie has characters talk of this "big four" wanting to cause world revolution "like in Russia", but that fails to clear things up. Are they communists? Why would the billionaire be a communist? I don't want Poirot to fight supervillains. I want him in little English towns, ferreting out murderers who have motives. I like it when priggish British ladies say things like "What on earth are you on about, you batty little man?! Are you accusing me of murder?" to which Poirot says things like "You have, as they say, caught the bird in the bush, Madame. This is exactly what I accuse you of." And then he and Hastings drink sherry or something.

Thierry Regnier thierryregnier — 'The Mom's Guide...' is a great book for anyone even remotely thinking about going green with fabulous, easy and inexpensive ways to get started, and for those who are already well on their way to being green a myriad of suggestions to decrease environmental impacts. Terra Wellington includes not just products, but manufacturers we can use to continue on the road to going green. Finally, even for those who couldn't care less about being green, she has included many money-saving tips that, coincidentally, help save the environment.

Natasha M natasphere — I may have a new favorite football player. Michael Oher is an inspiration! This book tells the true story of Michael Oher - not The Blind Side version (book or movie). This is an intelligent young man who really seems to have his head screwed on straight - a miracle in professional sports. I kept reading parts of this out loud to my husband and only wish my boys were old enough to read it too. Great for high schoolers as well!

Facundo Azuaga facundoazuaga — Well, I finished this. For some reason I had set it aside some time ago (audio) and forgot I was listening to it. Unlike most of the Kellerman series it doesn't feature Alex Delaware and his friend Milo, rather Detective Petra Connor and Eric, her erstwhile lover, who apparently walks on water. The show stealer is Isaac, a PhD candidate interning with the police department, who, through diligent research and a hell of a randy librarian, manages to find the connection between the killer and his victims. Perhaps a bit tenuous connection in my book, but way to whittle away the time.
