Art Karthik karthikart — I'd previously read The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time by Haddon, and loved this. I'd seen this book many times, and thought I should check it out - finally I did (also checked out a YA book by him; a bit too young for me as it turned out but I'll be posting a review of it shortly). This novel is both funny and sad. It's funny in the way that life can just be funny while being so sad at the same time. Although I did laugh out loud a lot at the wry British humor. This centers around a family - and a wedding, which tends to bring out a lot of uncomfortable feelings, whether we'd like to admit that fact or not. Both weddings and funerals do the same; people can get rather ugly at them because all of the tension comes out somehow. You have to navigate around family members and friends, some of whom you may not have seen or communicated with in some time. There's a lot of awkwardness. Haddon does a wonderful job capturing these awkward tense moments. The book feels realistic, almost as if you know these people. You probably do know these people in some way or another. I found myself endeared to this family as they navigated their troubles, hoping that they would somehow find themselves in the end. If you experience awkward family situations, or enjoy reading about them with a touch of sarcasm and wit, then this book is certainly for you.

Cedric Bijan _edric_ijan — Nice story of an autistic boy realizing he is different from other students and trying to figure out ways to function with the "Typical" people. The narration occasionally skipped around in chronological order, so some readers may struggle. Students who are interested in autism may find this interesting, but instead I'd recommend The Rules for upper elementary and middle school students or Marcelo in the Real World for high schoolers.

Rakel Hinriksdottir rakelhinriks — Continuing the tradition of me not realizing what I'm reading... I was halfway through this one when I noticed on the back, "A ravishing historical novel of one of China's most controversial figures--its only female emperor" Oh! She grew up in the provinces, the daughter of a merchant who was ennobled, spent some time as a nun, went to live in the palace, loved horses and was kind of a tomboy, defied the odds to remain in court through a change in emperors, the second of whom she married and through whom she was able to ascend to emperor herself. Every religion was a blade that allowed its faithful to carve up the lie that is life. I encouraged my people to choose the tool that suited them best. In my eyes, a country's enthusiasm for other customs was the mark of a great civilization that could absorb every difference... Our history, which had been related through the dynasties by Court chroniclers, was a generous source from which men could draw ideas and reflections. Our criteria for elegance became the universal points of reference for good taste. Western kings and far-eastern princes sent their scholars to our Court to study politics, justice, administration, military organization, medicine, literature, the arts, and architecture.
