As much as I love to listen to Garrison's stories on his show, I could not make my way past the first 15 pages. I violated my own "read at least 50 pages" rule. Maybe if I listened to it on tape--in SMALL doses? Or maybe I have too many great books waiting in line to be read and enjoyed to be patient with a mediocre book.

Pretty funny. You can hear the voice of the Simpsons in a lot of the jokes, and certain sections are extremely chuckle-inducing. Worth the read if you miss actually lauging at an episode of the Simpsons.

** spoiler alert ** Favorite Lines: “There are no white knights, Kate. You don’t need one. Get back to your life and make it what you want.” (p. 56) Reverb is a troubling book. Why? It’s a heavy book in which multiple rapes affect everything. I guess that’s where the title kinda comes in as reverb is “an effect whereby the sound produced by an amplifier or an amplified musical instrument is made to reverberate slightly.” It’s not the usual heroine rape, though. The story is intriguing. A man is institutionalized against his will, raped, escapes and must find out how to live again while on the run. The author shows the long journey to self-worth that James is forced to travel and it is a painful trip. It didn’t happen overnight and even by the end of the book, James wasn’t a happy, carefree man. He was a man who made a life after losing everything. He found a woman who supported him and tried to be the best man he could be. The book wasn’t for me though and I’ll tell you why. James (the hero) is obviously an extremely damaged man. He tries to keep people at arm’s length, but when he finally lets his heroine in she tries to show him another side to the atrocities he was forced to endure. She has some valid points, such as he needs to confront his father and see if his father knew how James was being tortured. But she lost me when James expressed his feelings about being returned to the facility. She tells him: “Shut up! I don’t want to hear anymore. How important could Cameron and I possibly be to you if you’re so keen on killing yourself when faced with a little adversity?” “A little adversity?” He flashed her a look like hatred then turned back to the road. “You know what I mean. I need you to listen to me very carefully now.” She hoped he could hear her through his anger. The hero handles it, but with those sentences the heroine lost my support. If I can’t believe in the power of a heroine’s (or hero’s) love, the book does not work as a romance for me. I don’t believe the two can live happily ever after, and for me that makes or breaks a romance novel. However, this book isn’t a romance. It is a general work of fiction that really disturbed me I felt like there was an ongoing theme of characters chastising the hero. Even the hero’s father and his father’s assistant shook their proverbial fingers at the hero. I was pissed. It felt like the characters were trying to justify placing James in a facility, while pleading ignorance of how he was treated. Kinda like, “Well, I (he) did the what I (he) thought was best for the right reasons, but something bad happened. That’s not my (his) fault.” It made me furious. The impertinent child still glared at him. How was he to get through to this man? “He took you into his home, his life, and provided you with a stable, supportive environment that encouraged and funded your talent without limits. And you walked away. You shame me as a man and a mentor. I thought you knew better than that.” Really? After the hero has been raped by men and women, and you now know of his torture, you’re trying to get through to him that his father wanted to take care of him. Really? A grown man? We’re not talking about a teenager. We are talking about a man who is around 30-years-old. From the beginning to the end, people want to fix him, to pull him away from his music simply because he’s a musical prodigy who lives and breathes music. They want him to take a larger interest in the world. Well look at how that world treated him. In the end, Reverb is just not my type of book. It left me disturbed and filled with negative energy.

Another wonderful instalment in the Bridgerton series. I really like Julie Quinn’s wit, she has had me chuckling throughout all of her novels. There are some disagreements between Eloise and Phillip where he has no clue why he’s in trouble and I could feel Eloise's exasperation trying to explain it to him and the fact that he still doesn’t get it just has a touch of reality to it. As with all the Bridgerton novels there’s a light side and a more serious side which makes her romance novels just a little bit more than your average light romance. I liked that she touched on the very sensitive subjection of depression and how it affects the people living with the person who suffers from it. There were really some heartbreaking moments when Phillip reflects back to his first wife’s illness and how he was trying to be strong but retreating into himself and cutting himself off from the outside world including his children. I really liked so many things about Phillip. I liked that he was rough and gruff and how he viewed Eloise as the light he needed in his life yet he did such an appalling job of letting her see how he truly felt. And as always its great to get a glimpse into what the other Bridgerton siblings are up to.
This collection of autobiographical essays is an unbeatable introduction to a writer of great talent, unfaltering conviction, and pitiless, razor-sharp wit.

Men need to learn some humility and religion proves to be a crutch for the weak-minded preacher father. The talking bird cracked me up.

Well, it gathered steam and I enjoyed the ending (no spoilers). there are some messages therein, but also a literary exercise, I think, and that's not too much fun. "I'm not as f***ed as those people!" Whew!

The introductory essay which appeared elsewhere in print is compelling. I plan to visit the One Square Inch of Silence this coming summer. The rest of the story is not as well presented.

Inhalt: Als Cassandra von ihrer Großmutter Nell ein Cottage in England erbt, begibt sie sich zeitgleich auf die Suche nach ihren Vorfahren. Lange hatte sie sich sicher in der Familie aufgehoben gefühlt, doch plötzlich muss Cassandra erkennen, dass Nell nicht die leibliche Tochter von Haimish ist und bereits zu Lebzeiten versucht hat, ihre Familie ausfindig zu machen… Schreib-/Erzählstil: Kate Morton enttäuscht mich durchweg. Sie hat keinerlei Feingefühl für Charakterbildungen und so schwimmen alle Protagonisten an der Oberfläche, ohne richtig in die Geschichte abzutauchen. Anfänglich fand ich Eliza noch sehr interessant, aber sie erweist sich als Abziehbild einer Schriftstellerin, die versucht hat, andere Kollegen zu kopieren. Meine Meinung: Ich habe von Anfang an keinerlei Zugang zu der Geschichte finden können. Anfangs war ich bereits verwirrt: Wer ist Eliza Makepeace und kenne ich ihre Märchen irgendwoher? Im Laufe der Geschichte stellte sich Eliza als eine Hauptprotagonistin heraus, der ein Stempel von Morton aufgedrückt wurde: Eliza ist eine Märchenschreiberin, die sich ihre Geschichten durchweg zusammen gebastelt hat aus bereits vorhandenen und populären Märchen. Doch das wird unter den Tisch gekehrt. Kinder, die arm sind und deren Onkel sein perverses Augenmerk auf die Nichte legt? – Jeder, der sich für solche Geschichten interessiert, ist mit V. C. Andrews ausgezeichnet bedient. Ich vergöttere alle Werke, auch die des Ghostwriters. Nicht umsonst lebt sie noch über ihren Tod hinaus mit ihren Ideen weiter. Der Klappentext von Der verborgene Garten gibt reißerisch an: Liebe, Romantik und Spannung bis zur letzten Seite! Äh – wo denn? Richtig geliebt wird nicht, da ja alle irgendwie entweder adelig und in einer schrecklichen Beziehung gefangen sind oder die Liebe des Vaters abweisen, der sich sein Leben lang der Tochter angenommen hat, weil sich herausstellt, dass er nicht der leibliche ist. Fürchterlich! Romantik, weil man einen verborgenen Garten entwirft? Frances Hodgson Burnett, die sogar erwähnt wird als ein Partygast, müsste sich Fremd schämen, so sehr hat Morton kopiert. Fazit: Eine Kollegin sagte in der Mittagspause zu mir: Oh, das ist spannend! Und schon da habe ich gesagt, dass mir der Zugang einfach nicht gelingen will. Das ständige Wechseln in den Zeiten und die miserable Ausarbeitung tun der Geschichte keinen Gefallen. Hätte nicht veröffentlicht werden müssen!

I really WANTED to like this book a lot more than I actually did. The premise was great. Feelings in food?? Love it. But the end of the book was terrible, and about 1/2 way through, all I kept thinking was where in the world is the author going with this?
