Burkhard Goertz bg_photographie — I loved this book!!

Genny Bee designersr2c49 — Good character development, intricately intertwined lives, Emergency India. I've heard a recent critique that it overemphasizes the horrors of the Emergency, but I don't mind that, even if it's true, which I don't know.

Arend Moelich amoeliche073 — This is a really interesting history of the early roots of rap & hip hop, graffiti (art) and breakdancing, written by a New York Times reporter. It touches upon block parties in the Bronx and Brooklyn, street gangs, subway taggers, and street performers. I wish I knew what I did with my copy of the book. I may have to order it again. I had it for a few years at least around 1985/1986 and in the 90s I realized it was gone gone gone. Does anyone know where my book is?

Adhi Saktyo adhisaktyod149 — I love Stephen King, and I love time travel, so Iknew this was going to be good. It didn't disappoint! I've always been sort of fascinated with the JFK assassination, especially the "what if" factor. It's one of those events in history, especially in the US, that feels like it single-handedly changed everything that came after. It's natural to wonder how different things would be today if JFK hadn't died that day, and I loved the way King approached it. It's obvious that King is fond of the late 50s/early 60s. He writes about that era the way I imagine I'd write about the 80s, and anyone else who can remember those years will probably really enjoy the nostalgia. I know my mother did. But even if you weren't born yet then, King's writing brings you into the era and makes you feel like you were really there. I liked the way time travel was used in 11/22/63, and the way the possible repercussions of it were explained. I was satisfied with the ending, something that I can't always say about time travel stories. All in all, a great read. It was long, and the hardcover can get awkward and heavy, especially when trying to read in bed, but it read quickly, and I was finished in only a few days.

Isabel Gil isagilro76b83 — "Hidden World of the Aztec" is the history of the Aztec people, which grew up around the city of Tenochtitlan, in what is now underneath modern day Mexico City. This culture thrived from 1325-1521. The author accompanies an archaeologist named Leonardo as he excavates the Aztec Great Temple, or Templo Mayor in Spanish, in the middle of downtown Mexico City. He also visits and discusses another ancient culture located at a city north of Mexico City called Teotihuacan, and its main structure called The Pyramid of the Moon. I picked this book because I have been fascinated with Pre-Columbian culture since I took an art history class my junior year of college. This book was a more in-depth study of the Aztecs than what I had studied, which was primarily the Olmecs, Teotihuacan and the Mayans in Mexico and Guatemala. Their culture was just so advanced considering they were Stone Age to Medieval people and had no metal tools. Plus their artwork, though sometimes a little gruesome, is so amazing with the colors they used and the subject matter. They try to explain the bloodletting ritual in the book and I think they did a decent job, though it is still bound to gross people out. They used to bloodlet pretty much any appendage and then illustrated it on wall paintings or codices. I liked how they talked about all the ongoing archaeological digs going in the city and I think it would be so cool to actually go to one and even help out. I also liked how the author got to go inside the Pyramid of the Moon and check out the skulls and objects they had found inside. I would love to one day go to the pyramid and check out the view from the top, as it is supposed to be amazing. This is of course despite the fact that the stairs are notoriously steep and angled, and difficult to get up.
