Enrique Diaz proyectose006c — I spent about 4-500 pages of this book so engrossed I couldn't do much except read the book, want it never to be over, and think I had never read anything better - then Murakami heard a knock on the door and lost his story, in my opinion. I was disappointed, but I hear part of this might be less an issue with Murakami than with translation and publishing issues. If only I spoke Japanese, or even Russian.

Nathalie Ashraf _athalieashraf — Ok, what's going on here? I'm reading another YA (Young Adult) novel. I must be insane. Or, I like to torture myself with mediocrity. Or, I'm gonna write one of these bad boys myself when I get totally sick of the "Literature Lite" that the YA genre is, and I need to know the what and how of the genre in order to not do it like it's already been done (of course, then it'd never get published as YA. Or, what's probably more the case is it's my book and it'd never get published anyway because I suck). But really, the truth is I was just on another prison lit jag and I picked up Lockdown while I was at the library (yes, I go to the library, call me a socialist), and I didn't see the "YA" tag on the cover until I was home and it was too late. And then, after the first three pages I knew. Yup, I knew I was reading YA. How did I know this? Well, it's supposed to be about prison, but there's no balls to the plot or dialogue (although there was one "fuck you" which actually made me feel better and have a little more respect for the author, Walter Dean Myers). The tension, what little there was, was intermingled with the conflict, which was lost amongst the mediocre dialogue – and the characters are all one dimensional and predictable. So yeah kids, or Young Adults, or whatever label you prefer – go read Edward Bunker's No Beast So Fierce, if you want a more authentic story that isn't homogenized. Or even try Monster Kody's autobiography if you're looking for something as bit newer and perhaps more relevant to today.

Rou Gu 864605321593b — I'd not read this one since high school and for some reason thought it was a tragedy. It wasn’t one of my favorites so I’ve never seen an adaptation or read much commentary and I guess all I could remember was that pound of flesh. And I’ll go ahead and say again that while it’s “good” it’s still not one I prefer and probably won’t pick up again for another fifteen years. Not as flowing or whimsical as "Midsummer" or "Twelfth Night" but certainly not a drudge either (can I get "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"), it somehow leaves one lacking, as if we’ve reached a happy ending under false pretenses. The trial scene is Bill at his best wordplay, as well as many of Shylock's angry rants (he's got a lot of famous quotes), and some of the sickly sweet love boasts (especially between Jessica and Lorenzo) are pretty comical (kids you know). The anti-Semitic rants are frustrating despite "the times" (you sometimes want your literary heroes to rise above such rubbish). With Shylock portrayed as crafty but mainly just red-eyed for revenge, you get the overly worn feeling of “let’s get this guy because he’s a Jew” and not because he’s a bit of a jerk (ok, more than a bit). I was left with the basic impression that this entire ordeal was just a set up for entrapment and the forced renunciation of faith is particularly eye rolling, but all in all, I think we can pretty much smile in the end (which is also, to me, rather abrupt). And there should have been more Launcelot Gobbo. That guy ruled.

Rafael Silva rafahfs — Powerful book and an amazing insight on the life and struggles of a trans man.

And now, i pass my insights on...
