This book is touching portrait of an unlikely friendship between a Peace Corps volunteer and a Malian midwife. The hardships of life in an African village are elegantly related to the reader, who comes to love both Kris and Monique. I cried at the deaths and other trials endured by Monique and her people. V. wonderful.

ere are some interesting thoughts from Margaret Paynich, a long-standing contributor to this blog, about Jay Mathews' KIPP book: Work hard mural "I picked up Jay Mathews' book, "Work Hard. Be Nice." and decided to read it without knowing what it was about. Mathews tells a great story about Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin starting the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) in Houston, Texas, fresh out of Teach for America training in Los Angeles. I was easily enamored with Feinberg and Levin's passion for their students, their drive to make KIPP work no matter the obstacles, and the astonishing success and growth of KIPP. "Mathews makes the claim that KIPP schools are the best model of raising students to new heights of achievement by doing the most to overcome poverty, apathy, and racial and class bias. While there are critics of KIPP and critics of Mathews' claim, the one message I took from the book that I hope will receive critical thinking - how do we ensure that our public schools can take the most advantage of the groundbreaking ideas educators are discovering? "What I will remember most about the book is how hard it was for Feinberg and Levin to find support in their Houston and New York City school systems for KIPP. The should be a system for embracing successful strategies in our public schools. I think part of the problem is that our school systems are largely out of date and were designed for educating students from hundreds of years ago. "Now we have a school structure that is not designed to have each child succeed to the best of his or her ability - yet we claim it does. These structures have made it difficult for administrators to focus on much more than what they need to do to keep their own jobs - which may not include helping teachers or students reach their own potential. "I believe that the public needs to demand a solution from their legislators. Education professionals have been doing the best they can - but I don't think they can do it alone anymore. I understand that legislation is part of the problem - legislation that is passed without proper attention to those who have to carry it out - but those policies can be reversed through legislation. "This summer I am piloting a project in Warwick, RI in which I intend to explain to the citizens of Warwick how the complicated education system works and what his or her public role is in ensuring the best possible education we can provide. I will be walking door-to-door this summer introducing individuals to the school committee, showing them afterschool and mentoring programs they can volunteer for, and hoping to inspire individuals to take a better responsibility for their role as citizens."

I LOVED this book! It's hilariously raw. You know these characters. You might be one. One thing is for sure, I have a new respect for postal workers. I can't wait to read more of Bukowski's work.

I've never read a book about the average German during Hitler's reign so I found that perspective really interesting. I am torn between 3 and 4 stars for this one. Obviously, the subject matter is incredibly depressing so it took me forever to read it.

LOVE the concept, but something about the way it was written made it very difficult to get through...not an enjoyable read.

A scary, funny and somewhat ironic story that centers around the concept of Hell. Blasé at times, horrifying at others (the story of Charles Rowland is one of the most bone-chilling ones I've read), it, like all of the Sandman stories, is a complete and focused tale with a lot of surprises. Wonderful.

** spoiler alert ** Wow. Such an interesting premise. But....um....this is a kid's book??? I found the 'other mother' image disturbing. And the gooey dad in the basement??? And 'here's a needle and thread for you to sew buttons on your eyes'....um, yeah. Ok. Not really scary so much, but...not really a kid's book.

This book had me a bit confused at first, but as I read on and the background story about the souls developed, it started to make sense. I found myself feeling contempt of the souls for their 'colonization' of humans and other beings on other planets. But I also felt disgust at the way Jeb's group treated Wanderer. Clearly though, Wanderer was a totally unique soul, and gives hope for some kind of coexistence between the two species... I also wish the story line about the human child in the park had been further developed. I did enjoy the book, but think perhaps 600+ pages is a mite long.
