Bohdan Tymoshenko holybomb — Helps Christian leaders take a look inside so they don't become another haggard.

Viyada Amornwatanakunchai janlastpum8c20 — A Barbara Pym novel for me is the greatest of guilty pleasures. Though this is not my favorite of her novels, it was a wonderful reminder of all the reasons that I adore her. The story of two spinster sisters in a tiny township in England, where the most exciting news is the arrival of a new curate for the church, should not be page turning reading. But, I will tell you that no one is better at developing the simple lives of wonderfully complex people like Barbara Pym. I hesitate to compare her to Jane Austen, as all critics do, but both of them have a way of making every day life seem so enthralling. The lives of Harriet and Belinda may not excite many. Tea and Church tend to dictate almost all decisions. But I find that in this simple life, one can best see the complexity that surround each decision we make. Can a spinster every hope of getting married? Is a life wasted when pining for a man you could have had but didn't, and is now married and living next door? Is being a mother hen a good way for one to go through life, or just a waste of time? I left this novel with a sadness as neither woman seems to get what I wanted for them. But also with a hope that there are many in the world that always desire change in their life, but can be actually very content with what they have -- even if it is not perfect.

Russell Francis _ussell_rancis — Review coming 8/1/11 at www.ieatwords.net! :) I had been wanting to read this book for such a long time! Britney did a video review on it on our YouTube channel (icon to the right) gushing about it, and I hoped I would like it as much as she did. I loved the plot and characters. In the beginning, DeStefano sets up this dark, bleak world that's almost a satire on what modern day society could be. Rhine (I just LOVE that name!) is a strong main character, but I liked that she still had her flaws. She's caring and compassionate but it seems like at times she had trouble grasping her emotions. I adored Cecily and Jenna, too. They were polar opposites, but that's what made them stand out to me. Cecily is overly emotional, dramatic, and young-spirited, whereas Jenna seems uncaring and self-absorbant, even though she has a soft interior. Then there are the boys, Linden and Gabriel. The one thing I did love about this story is that you can never really hate Linden. He's too innocent and kind-hearted. Even though I really wanted to find a reason to dislike him, I couldn't. I wish there were more scenes with Gabriel because I loved the way Rhine opened herself up when she was around him. The plot within this dystopian world is believable. I felt myself getting sucked in because even though we really don't see Rhine's brother, I wanted her to find her way back to him. And as she grew more attached to Gabriel, I wanted him to experience life outside of the house walls as well. I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen and what the Housemaster had to do with keeping everyone confined within the walls of the manor. The only microscopic, tiny complaint I had was with the writing style. DeStefano has a way with words and her writing is beautiful, but a part of me wished there was more interaction through showing instead of telling. I felt left out when I would read about all the moments Jenna or Rose shared with Rhine, and I wanted to know what they were talking about, what was being shared, and how that made them connect. Other than that, her writing left me emotionally attached to Cecily, Rhine, Linden, and Gabriel. In the end, I actually felt my heartstrings break a little for Linden and Cecily. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure, dystopian, and mystery. It was a wonderful read that I had a hard time putting down.

Alicia Sanchez alisanri — If you don't like this book you may have no soul. This book bombards readers with the ridiculousness of racial stereotypes. Beatty's character's are exaggerated and unbelievable, yet you can't help but recognize the counter part in real life. It's a story of family history, social history and individual history founded on survival and endurance at the cost of conformity. The inevitable fear that we are bound to repeat generational mistakes even when we are aware of them. Brilliant analysis of individualism and the hypocrisy of identity....kinda deep, but mostly funny. mainly ridiculous. You think you're having fun, but watch out, because the message is subtle.

Margarida Lopo amggrd — Comment: Nomos, Technos, Phronesis; and they all fight it out to see who should rule the City. - Welcome to Hell. ...The Eleatic Stranger (Visitor/Guest) appears in only two Platonic Dialogues; The Statesman and the Sophist. But never forget, Socrates is going to die. No matter who rules. His coming condemnation, and the subterranean critique of Socrates by the Stranger need to be seen together. Are Sophist, Statesman and Philosopher one or two or three? A not unrelated question, btw: Are the Stranger, Socrates and Plato one or two or three? That is: Is Socrates, or is it the Stranger, or is it perhaps Plato himself that is a Sophist, a Statesman, or a Philosopher, or a mixture of these? (Keep in mind that Nietzsche, in "Philosophy in the Tragic Age of the Greeks' called Plato the first 'mixed type".) The question do the Sophist, Statesman, Philosopher "constitute a triad, may be considered as answered. They are but two." Or so old Jacob Klein here maintains; but in the extraordinary exchange of letters between Kojeve and Leo Strauss (in 'On Tyranny') Kojeve maintains that the Stranger is merely a Sophist while Strauss doubts this pointing out that the Stranger is no mere parrot (of the Parmenidean ONE) when he maintains that Philosopher-Sophist-Stateman are three. But perhaps Strauss will forgive us for thinking that the gist of his remarks (and the Strangers) lead one to think that our Philosopher is a Triad, i.e., a One-in-Three. As Stanley Rosen pointed out, regarding Tejera, "I found more difficult his claim that the Stranger is intended to represent sophistry. The thesis would have been more persuasive if Tejera had faced up to the sophistical component within philosophy." I continue to think that the Stranger = Sophist view is wrong, but I also think it needs to be addressed in a book length essay.
