Jadranka Lackovic _adranka_ackovic — The title of this book alone intrigued me. I thought the book was going to talk about the ways in which the titular emotions play into the specific speeches and dialogues of world leaders – such as politicians inspiring their constituents through hope-filled rhetoric (Obama); theocrats stoking the fires of vengeance through hate (takfir and fatwas) or polarizing media outlets using fear to inflate trivial matters to that of national catastrophe and in the process sell more expensive ad space. Dominique Moïsi’s book, however, isn’t exactly that. Instead, we have what amounts to a psychological profile of various different geopolitical areas, classifying each into overly broad generalizations without a single statistic, chart or poll result. Moïsi, in fact, calls himself out very early in the book in this regard and says that he will be arguing his point relying almost entirely on his emotional feel for particular countries and cultures rather than relying on statistics, polls or any other sort of “scientific” investigation. While Moïsi may feel pride at such audacity, I felt like he lost a bit of credibility by offering this concession so early in the book. But how does his insight stack up in the absence of cold, hard facts? Moïsi’s generalizations go as such: China and India are experiencing widespread feelings of hope, despite a strong authoritarian government that limits personal freedoms (China) and widespread extreme poverty (India), both countries envision themselves as the future of the planet given their burgeoning economies and ever-growing middle class. The Middle East and countries largely inhabited by Muslims are going through an extended period of humiliation, mostly due to the fact that Christianity, the primary religion of Western culture, is currently calling the shots. The heavily religious United States is involved in many operations in the Middle East, calling for western principles of democracy and the free market, though not to the sounds of universal cheers – and Israel does nothing to help the situation. Finally, the United States and Europe are living in fear; fear of China and India, fear of immigrants and fear of each other. The problem, of course, is that those feelings don’t neatly fit every country in the region. Moïsi acknowledges this and occasionally points out the inconsistencies but at the expense of making his whole “point” start to crumble. Moïsi also published the book in 2009 and when you’re talking about global emotions, a lot can happen in two years, especially with the recent uprisings in Libya and Egypt. Though the idea of treating countries and political blocs as individual people and measuring their emotions sounds like an interesting idea, it’s too flimsy to be taken seriously. For my tastes, I prefer George Friedman’s The Next Hundred Years for a more fact-based approach to geopolitical predictions. The end of the book gives two possible scenarios: a doomsday conflagration where everyone succumbs to fear, and a bright future where we all forgive each other for our transgressions and make up. Moïsi admits that both situations are far-fetched and almost comical, stating that the real future is likely in between, for better or worse.

Iqbal Singh iqbalsingh — I adore stories of friendship and loyalty. Griff and Anastagio are beautiful and sweet. I smiled at the awkwardness of Griff and Anastagio's unrepentant flirtatiousness--he actually reminded me more of my Cuban friends than Italian in many of his mannerisms aside from the cooking which screamed Italian so loud I felt like I was in the kitchen. Firemen do have way more fun than cops. Even though my family comes from the blue side if I'd been male I'd have been far more attracted to the camaraderie than the bullshit and guns. Not that I feel the public deserves either half the time. In the end Griff and Anastagio's journey was a lot like life with ups and downs, but their devotion to each other was irrefutable.

Daniela Telck danitelck — The subtitle is bunk. This book is for poets beginning or accomplished, dabbling or practicing. It's for everyone, and I highly recommend it.

Neha Patel neha_4787663 — This book was ok...nothing spectacular, and even a bit cumbersome at times. Wouldn't recommend it.
