Ismail Aksoy nauticalist — The subject matter of the book is interesting, but the author comes across as full of herself, prejudiced, classist, etc. The premise is that the author would attempt to live on minimum wage jobs without outside help. The message that it is extremely difficult, or impossible, to make do on minimum wage jobs is a very good and important one; unfortunately it’s spoiled by the tone of the book. The author seems to believe she is intrinsically better than others by virtue of having a PhD. In the end she repeatedly praises herself for being in spectacular shape and being able to physically do some difficult jobs like housecleaning; however, she herself mentions, in passing, that she’s only so fit because she’s had the benefit of gyms and trainers, and she only undertakes each job for a few weeks, so of course she manages! At times she writes things that try to make her sound not arrogant or prejudiced, but they seem more like they were stuck in half-heartedly. Overall a very disappointing book with an important message. Somebody else should write a popular book on the same topic, but without all of the nonsense.

Xiao Xia xiaxiao — I got a little irritated with the Wee Free Men's accents (not to mention their absurdly long names). But otherwise the story kept me amused. And the accents were comprehensible (unlike Little Lord Fauntleroy and Huckleberry Finn, in which I found the accents occasionally incomprehensible, distractingly stilted bits of dialogue that I tended to skip over). Pratchett kind of reminds me of Douglas Adams: a kind of self-conscious, tongue-in-cheek fantasy (or science-fiction, in the case of Adams) writer who doesn't let the snarkiness get in the way of creating an absorbing story (and in fact uses it to increase the believability of the worlds being created....unlike Gaiman who seems to detract from his stories with his self-consciousness).
