A pleasant surprise...I'm generally not a big fan of non-fiction but this was another left behind by Lisa for me. It was an interesting perspective on women's friendships through out life and nice that it was heartful and honest at the same time actually discussing the ways they let each other down not just the way they built each other up...I liked that it was honest that way...not a huge page turner but interesting.

The book was okay. Not great. I don't know if I would recommend it to anyone. The book was long and seemed to drag on and on with little action. Could have been so much better or so much shorter.

It was an entertaining enough book but not a great book. I don't think the main character was consistent enough and it took a long time to like him. BUT, again, I was entertained and that was what I was looking for. Oh, and I'm annoyed with the author for not answering some of the questions he raises in your mind during the course of reading.

This graphic novel is a hauntingly stark narrative of a family's struggle to overcome loss. Presented through deceivingly simplistic-almost childish-representations [think Jimmy Corrigan:], the work allows the stark scenes to play out and the awkward silences to linger. I really enjoyed this novella and feel that it is one of the more powerful applications of the comic medium [with regard to its relative brevity:] to come out in quite some time.

good writing but not a complete story which bugs me, you need to have a story to tell. Addresses issues about liberal vs conservative in an intellectual setting and does a good job but doesn't come up with any answers

I like the pictures... but I think this book would be confusing if a student is trying to learn to count. Sometimes there are more of something (such as people) than the number on the page. Also.. once you get up to 11, it makes it look like 11 is One whole, and 1 tenth.... so it may confuse children when they're trying to learn fractions. Although this might not be the best book to help a student learn to count initially, after they have learned the concept you might use it as a review. Also, It could be a great way to introduce a fun project where they make their own counting book.

Great insight into the under-stressed dimension of love - love as an act of the will. Read it before I got married... my guess is that I'd like it even better if I read it now. This quote sums up the book best, "Without the will, marriage is a mockery; without emotion, it is a drudgery." Ravi is always good for serving up a sentence that causes you to put the book down and chew on it for awhile. Consider: "To violate [marriage's:] built-in pattern is to mangle beauty and plunder one's own riches."

Soad's father epitomized the greedy, power-hungry bourgeoisie who reigned over the city like a pack of jackals ripping into a carcass. He restricted his associations to his own kind--but only the more servile among them, people he could lord it over and put down as he pleased. He was insolent, disdainful--even with the governor. Soad, powerless and mortified, had listened for years as her father cut people down with the precision of an executioner. The Jokers is the second title by Egypt's Albert Cossery to make the Best Translated Book Award 2011 longlist. And, in fact, it is a bit redundant considering that Mr. Cossery's other effort, The Splendid Conspiracy , is the stronger of the two. The same themes are covered here--political corruption, power-hungry fools, and youth-fueled rebellion. There is the Cossery trademark subversive humor, the trenchant irony that trumps political prowess. Like in The Splendid Conspiracy , a motley crew of young guns--an ex-con turned businessman, a hood with macabre sense of humor, an educated teacher hellbent on civil disobedience and a mastermind--come together to expose the current governor's underhandedness into through an intricate plan of mockery and derision. These characters, Urfy, Karim, Heykal and Omar, are just as inept as the governor but have so much less to lose than those who run the unnamed Middle Eastern city. Each of these books stand alone, but when you read both, you realize you're reading the same book. Yet, The Jokers presents all characters in their own foolish light whereas the characters in The Splendid Conspiracy are more developed and drawn out. Not to say that The Jokers is not a quick, interesting read with its moments of humor, it is. But there are similarities between the two that begin to undermine his style. There is the repetition of a character with myopia which is either a thinly veiled attempt at personifying a character weakness or a preoccupation of the author. Also, in both books there is pubescent girl(Felfel in The Splendid Conspiracy and Soad in The Jokers) that serves the role of seductress to one of the men. For women readers it is difficult to overlook because it's not a particular element specific to plot or character, it's suspicious that it reoccurs for no seemingly good reason. I couldn't help but sense a subtle misogyny in his work. Perhaps this is an accurate reflection of societal beliefs, but there are glints of it buried within the narrative that made me wince only because I am not sure if this partly due to the authorial voice coming through or an attempt at cultural parody: Karim silently rejoiced. Games of love like this made him happy. Whether they were seven or seventy, women always fell for the same tricks. Age didn't matter: you seduced them all the same way. Although these aren't major problems, they do point to the fact that as far as the development of a writer, Cossery doesn't want to move beyond the political court jester role by employing used characters and character traits. He merely writes the same book, albeit well, twice. He is a good writer and I would need to read more to determine whether he grows beyond these themes or simply explores them through different storylines. Like Alyson Waters who translated The Splendid Conspiracy , Anna Moschovakis does a nice job with capturing the irony and the wit of The Jokers. Albert Cossery was a talented writer who skewered the ideas of upper class and political oppression with a light touch and a discerning eye, but as with any joke, the more you hear it, the less funny it is.
