This book was great. My only problem with it is that I knew from other reviews that it was some allegory of Stalin's reign in Russia in the 1930's. However, since I know absolutely nothing about Russia in the 1930's I couldn't draw any clever comparisons or conclusions of it as an allegory. Ideally, I would have read it in conjunction with cliff notes. Since I couldn't deduce any political implications, to me it mostly read as an extremely imaginative fairytale. I have never read any other book where the devil was one of the main characters, but I liked the unique interpretation. The demons and devil weren't just pure evil, they were complex, dynamic characters. I felt some sympathy towards just about every character and particularly liked the interplay between the demons. The use of different names in reference to the same characters was a little confusing at times, but I heard that this is relatively common in Russian literature, especially from this era. If I got really confused about a character or event, I would just reference it on the character list on www.wikipedia.org I would recommend this book to my more eccentric friends. My friends who recommended it to me in the first place as the most amazing book that they have ever read are on the quirky side. I think I will definitely have to read it again, but maybe next time after I have brushed up on my Russian history.

For me ‘The English patient’ has always impersonated the beauty of the sick-minded, the peace that comes after the cruelest war, the flight towards peaceful death after the devastation that life has been putting you into. ‘The English patient’ is mostly a story of passion – that wild, savage, irrevocable passion which can drive people mad with fury, hungering for blood and flesh, but at the same time being terrified by the ferocious cruelty that surrounds them. In a world full of strangers either War or Love can be the common thread, the guiding light for people to follow in their path towards one another. But Love can be as devastating as War – the only difference is that it doesn’t kill thousands at once but destroys us piece by piece, bit by bit, until we end up being completely empty.I have always been in love with ‘The English patient”, so naturally it is more than a story for me. I do not interpret it, I simply feel it, live through it, try to take the very best of it every time I read it.

A warning should be attached to this book. "You may never look at strays the same after reading this story." I've always been sensitive to the hardships that strays, dogs and cats, suffer and am easily led to leave some food or water about for such animals. In fact, I honestly am not a cat person, but I took in a stray cat and it stayed for 22 years (lol). This sweet narrative by Ann Martin is told from the first person viewpoint of the stray dog known as Squirrel and grabs you from the moment of her birth, keeping you pulling for her as she encounters so many obstacles to surviving in the wild and on her own. Kids will embrace this story as I did The Incredible Journey when I was a young girl. Adults will find it a much needed reminder of the simple pleasure reading can give you when you open your heart and imagination.
I adored this book!! One morning at spin class, Alice falls off her stationery bike and hits her head. When she comes to, she thinks it's 1998 and she's pregnant. Turns out it's 2008 and she now has three kids. She's forgotten a whole decade of her life! Bits and pieces come back to Alice as she interacts with friends and family members, and it's interesting to see how some of her memories come back but come back wrong at first. But this isn't just the story of Alice. It's also the story of what happened to Alice's older sister Elisabeth over the past 10 years (which is very sad and made me cry SO many times and IN PUBLIC TOO!) told through Elisabeth's letters to her psychiatrist and also of Alice's honorary grandmother Frannie, whose story is told through letters Frannie writes to a mysterious man named Phil. What I loved about this book was that you're learning the story along with Alice and just as you start to make an assumption about something, it turns out to be completely different so that you're never sure what exactly did happen or what is going to happen. It makes for lots of surprises!

I recieved Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for Christmas one year. My mom didn't know that the series went in order, and so she bought me the second one first. Yet, like any bored sophomore in high school over Christmas break, I read the second one instead of just going to Best of Books and trading it in. I loved it. More on that later... Point is that after reading the second book, I expected as much or more from this book--the beginning of the series. I did not get what I wanted. I was bored by this book. Unexcited. Unintrigued. I feel that if I had started this series with the first book, I would not have been a Harry Potter-ophile like I am today. --------- Now, ten/fifteen years later, I read the book again from a new perspective. I loved it. I expected it to lag or to drone on, like I remember before. I had no such experience. The book was fulfilling in all the ways I wanted it to be. An added bonus- the audio book is well read, and the reader/actor is talented and fun.
I was afraid that after all this time I wouldn't be able to follow Kvothe's story or his world, but I was happily wrong. This is one deep and richly-detailed fantasy novel. I can't even imagine how someone begins to write a world like this, but I'm glad Mr. Rothfuss did so, and succeed at it. This is a novel that makes you stay up late just to read one more chapter, only to find out that there's no way you can go to sleep now, the story just made an interesting and unexpected turn. I found this novel to be extremely satisfying. Thank you, Mr. Rothfuss! My only sorrow is that now I have to wait for the next one.

Surprise, this book will truly surprise anyone. Rabbit goes to the library and checks out a book on Wolves. Rabbit learns how Wolves live, survive, and...oh no...what they eat. Good Read

I don't usually enjoy crime novels. This one held my attention because of the local flavor ... the neighborhood where I grew up AND the one where I live now.

I enjoyed reading this book although I did think the ending was a little abrupt.
