Elise Dao ydao919ab8 — This was my favourite Tim Winton book, even though it never really seemed to win the popularity of some of his other titles. It's told from the perspective of a little boy, and it melted my heart. It ended with a miracle - always a risky way to finish a novel, but it really worked. Another tear jerker.

Yuliya Kostadinova _uliya_ostadinova — So I read this for my "Ethics and Literature" class and despite the disturbing events that take place in the novel, it was quite an engaging read. Like many others of the reviews I've read, I started off disliking the protagonist and it's probably obvious why. Actually - I disliked about every character in this novel, except for Lucy. Anyway, by the end of the novel, he was redeemed just a little for me. I think I mostly just felt sorry for him... Hmm. Three and a half, because I really did enjoy Coetzee's style of writing.

Andrew Diey andrewdieyf38c — In the Shadow of the Moons: My Life in the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Family is a fascinating read told by Nansook Hong, the 15 year old South Korean girl that Reverend Moon chose to marry his oldest son, Hyo Jin. Interesting insider look at the "Moonies" (Unification Church) and its leaders. Nansook describes the excesses, the abuse, and the outright hypocricy of life in the Moon family. Nansook Hong's parents were some of the original members of Moon's church, so she was born into this world, knowing no other way to live her life. She is committed to full obedience to this second "Messiah." She struggles with inner conflicts that come as one fights with what they have believed all of their life and the damage that that belief is causing to herself and her children. A great passage in the book is found in the end when Nansook realizes her own responsibility for her own life and gains te courage to flee the life of a battered wife: "There is an old Korean proverb: Blame yourself, not the river, if you fall into the water. For the first time in my life, that dictum makes sense to me. I, alone, am in charge of my life. I, alone, am responsible for my actions and for the decisions I make. It is terrifying. I spent half of my lifetime ceding all decisions to a 'higher authority.' Learning to make decisions for myself means being willing to accept the consequences--the bad ones as well as the good ones." (Hong, N. In the Shadow of the Moons. (1998). Boston: Little, Brown and Company.) [pg. 234:].

Justin Yonk justinyonk — I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS PART OF A SERIES UNTIL COURTZ TOLD ME. Now I have a crazy craving for the others. Are they all as tacky and yet WONDERFUL?
