Darb Danny _anny_uales — The good news: I finished it! It's over! The bad news: everything else. Vera lives in a world without water: it rains very little, and humankind has wasted (and/or drunk up) all the fresh water. State boundaries have changed; the US is no longer 50 states but 8 territories. The Republic of Illinowa is struggling to get water, battling with the Republic of Minnesota, who in turn is warring with the Empire of Canada for the fresh water that remains. Vera meets a new boy, Kai, who can somehow sniff out fresh water. (It's somehow implied that it's related to his diabetes, but that makes no sense. Except that's the implication, so.) Then he gets kidnapped, and even though she's known him for about a week, she insists that she and her brother launch a rescue mission. Which they do, and get themselves kidnapped by water pirates before ultimately needing to infiltrate the large-scale, only-for-profit desalination plant (that horribly pollutes everything and is only in it for the money). Lots of things don't make sense. Lots of (il)logical leaps. Lots of infodumps. And really, incredibly boring. There was nothing to encourage me to pick this up again, so I'm not certain why I finished it, because blah. Flat characters and a bland, boring plot.

Armando Paredes _eo_oopa64 — I was confused to what the delicious smell coming for the rear end of my body was, so it lead me to research the phenomenon. Despite Millie's protests, I thought it was just a burp that went astray. This book was instrumental in teaching me what the fart is and how it comes to be. It gives the reader an appreciation of the beauty of flatus (Latin root). The origins of the air biscut dates back to 500 B.C. when the Greeks used to greet each other with a cheerful chert. The practice became less common as their white togas were occassionaly dirtied by an errant salutation. Must read!

Greece Baeza greecebs — It really is like the show, in book form. Lots of hits, a few misses, a handful of unnecessarily offensive entries, and when it's on, it's some of best political satire of our young millenium.
