Pejman Makhfi pjmax — This was an interesting read. . .up to a point. Once we got to the macho, chest-thumping stuff about hunting boar, Pollan totally lost me. I also thought his justifications of meat eating were specious at best. Although I don't eat meat, I don't think people should be required to justify it, however, if they choose to do so, their justifications should be well thought out. Pollan's were, to my mind, neither well thought or argued.

Paola Natalia _ittyhawk85 — Well, that was certainly a wonderful piece of Fantasy. Brandon Sanderson always delivers an entertaining and quite unique story in the genre. Religion and politics are central, interesting issues, while the wonderful magic system and the tale of stubborn optimism are only icing on the cake. There are flaws within the story, but they can be forgiven, as the whole is simply too entertaining to care about those flaws for long.

Minjung Minjung milicefff0 — This book was really an eye-opener for me. It makes you think what a different life there could be.

Jung Wonyoung tlsel0134d4f — An amazing and mind blowing book. This book has a three braided plot, with one braid in Brazil's colonial past, one in it's urban present, and the other in a strange future. The past follows a Jesuit priest set on a Heart of Darkness quest to stop a renegade Jesuit who has carved out an empire in the Amazon. The present Point of View character is a reality TV show producer who comes up with the idea to have a Reality TV trail of the goalie who lost the 1950 world cup for Brazil and cost the nation decades of self-doubt. The future gives us the world of a high tech bisexual businessman/hustler who falls in love with a beautiful quantum computer hacker. All of the characters are well drawn and when the braid switches, you get immediately caught up in the life of the next character. What the reader doesn't get at the start of the book, is how these threads could ever meet up. But meet up they do, so pay attention to the weird stuff, because that's where the tie-in comes from. Some SF/F books are so subtle in their fantastic elements, you can recommend them to your friends outside the genre. Not Brasyl. This is why you read science fiction. I imagine that readers of literary fiction must feel the same way, "this is such a life altering book, but no one outside of our tribe will understand it. Poor simpletons." This is such a book for the Science Fiction reader. It is truly sad that outsiders couldn't begin to understand. Simpletons.... It's an amazing ride, but I was slightly put off by one of the ideas in the ending. Perhaps only because I had read Darwinia by Robert Charles Wilson years ago. I don't want to include any spoilers, so I'll leave it at that. Not enough of a problem for me to take off a star. The ending was emotionally satisfying and my major disappointment what that it came to an end. If you read Science Fiction, you don't want to miss this. Ian McDonald's best work, and I like Ian McDonald.
