Juan Sebastian sebastianl09af — The work that Patricia Heaton did on the CBS hit sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" is truly remarkable. In her role of feisty, put-upon suburban housewife Debra Barone, she brought depth and dimension to her character with great grace, cutting humor and a wide emotional range. She was, for me, the single best thing about this terrific show. Indeed, her work in one standout episode (I believe the title is "Bad Moon Rising"), in which Debra deals with a nasty case of PMS, is some of the very best I've ever seen a sitcom actress give us...and I'm not forgetting the likes of Lucille Ball, Loretta Swit and Shelley Long when I make that statement. I hope that it was for this episode that Ms. Heaton won one of her back-to-back Emmys, in 2000 and 2001. Ms. Heaton is also, inexplicably, one of the small screen's least ballyhooed beauties, with one of the nicest smiles on TV, and her continued great work on the hit ABC show "The Middle" continues to impress. For these and other reasons, I was very interested to read what she had to say in her 2002 autobiography, "Motherhood and Hollywood: How to Get a Job Like Mine." Well, the not-so-new news is that not only does the book let us learn where Patty Heaton came from, and how she got to the high place she is at today, but that it does so with much self-deprecating humor as well. Ms. Heaton writes as if she were telling us her story and views of life over a few drinks in the backyard of her Los Angeles home. The book is chatty without being gossipy; indeed, many readers may be disappointed that more "dirt" is not dished regarding the "Raymond" show's cast and crew. Rather, the book is organized into three sections. In the first, we learn of Heaton's youth, growing up in a staunch Catholic family in a Cleveland suburb that sounds like Hooterville or Mayberry, from the author's descriptions. In part two, Patty comes to the Big Apple, and we learn of the many so-called "survival jobs"--eight years' worth of them--that Ms. Heaton endured. Finally, in part three, Heaton lands in L.A., and eventually, after her second marriage, some minor film parts and assorted TV work, nabs the role on "Raymond" for which she is best known. During the course of the book, Heaton gives us her views on modern-day education, child rearing, religion, acting awards, and stay-at-home moms. So yes, we DO get to know Ms. Heaton to a certain degree. Such topics as her first marriage and her brief drug dalliances are given the barest of mentions, and not mentioned at all are her other relationships, her production company, and her pro-life stance, which latter has set her apart in the Hollywood community. She doesn't even mention how she landed the plum role of Debra Barone! Still, it IS Patty's book, and I suppose it's her right to choose to include or exclude whatever she likes. This is hardly an in-depth autobiography (at 207 pages, how could it hope to be?); more like cherry-picked snapshots of what makes Ms. Heaton tick. To her credit, the book was written with no assistance from a ghost writer, and so Ms. Heaton should feel proud to have written a fun, lighthearted but telling book all by herself. Many of the lines in it are laff-out-loud funny. I never thought that I, a nonpracticing Jewish man who is ardently pro-choice, would ever have much to say to the proudly religious and openly pro-life Patricia Heaton if I were ever fortunate enough to meet her, but she comes across as such a fun and decent person in this book that I now think there'd be no problem. And really, how can any woman who's into "Jonny Quest" and John Carpenter's "The Thing" NOT be a fun person? That said, I must add that a close reading of the book reveals some minor problems. Ms. Heaton refers to Moses Cleveland, the founder of her hometown; that should be Moses Cleaveland. The word "shearing" is used instead of "shirring," and "phased" instead of "fazed." Officer "Tootie" of the classic "Car 54..." TV show is referenced; that should be "Toody." And for some reason, Patricia insists on peppering her book with dozens and dozens of urinary, fecal, menstrual and throw-up references. Was Patty trying to be funny with these, or to show that she could be as coarse as the best of them, or what? In any case, these minor quibbles hardly detract from what should be essential reading for all fans of this wonderful actress. So do we really learn how to get a job like hers, as the title promises? Well, I suppose that if we read between the lines, the answer is to be born with God-given good looks and considerable talent, to keep trying and struggling, and maybe, just maybe, you'll catch a break. Fortunately for all of us, Ms. Heaton got the breaks that she so well deserved. And now, perhaps we can coerce another book out of her...

Martin Bašniar rainsab — This is a biography of The New Yorker magazine's founder and first editor, Harold Ross. It's a great book that paints a well-researched and informative picture of an eccentric guy with a sort of famous demeanor.

Stephanie Ayres sayresillustration — I was honestly prepared for the worst. I was prepared to hate it, to want to scream my head off, but I did none of those things. Divergent is everything you want it to be...almost. It may have a few similar aspects as The Hunger Games, but those similarities end rather quickly. You're thrown into this world where fractions exist and not everything is as it seems. Beatrice aka Tris from Abnegation, your protagonist, is likable (for the most part), moody, and extraordinary. Most of the book is revolved around her training when she suddenly switches to Dauntless. The Dauntless who are supposed to brave are more of what I would call reckless. Jumping into trains, off buildings, onto roofs, but Tris is in hog heaven, eating every moment up. The grit of the story is located toward the end, but I wouldn't say this hurts the story. In fact, I never, not once, got the feeling of a dull moment. Veronica Roth is that good. Divergent, is actually a world that is terrifying to me. To not be able to lie and only tell the truth. To not be selfish and only selfless. To not be able to say, "I'm afraid." without consequences. Imagine having to live the rest of your life blocking your real self. This is what Tris has problem with, but even switching to Dauntless doesn't solve her problems. In between training and trying her best not to be discovered for what she really is (not telling~!) she finds a love interest. For me, the romance wasn't fleshed out enough. I felt she liked him, but there just wasn't a time when I thought the romance was truly there. It was like wanting to drink a coke only to find it flat. You want to drink it, but you're just not thirsty enough to take the plunge. I don't have any majors peeves with Divergent, if you forget the major stereotyping of the fractions and that awful friend called Christina. This is one of the best books I've read for 2011. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys Dystopian fiction.

Brandon Holly johnpettig5532 — J'ai persévéré et j'ai aimé, ça roule encore à toute vitesse, l'intrusion dans l'univers "réel" est bien menée, les blagues sur l'écriture et la fantasy sont superbes! J'aurais quand même dû relire les 2 tomes précédents pour y prendre encore plus plaisir, mais je lirai le 10 très bientôt pour ne pas perdre le fil!
