Rick Labao _erfect_allette — Had to add this series. My all-time favorite story.

Lucas Prates lucasprates — I would give this 1.5 stars, if I could. I wanted to like this book and there is enough contained herein to give Shteyngart one more chance. I'm not in need of liking the protagonist, and Vladimir is an unlikeable character. Combining this fact, with the strangely ficitionalized Prague as a backdrop and the absurd machinations of the plot, I found reading beyond page 362 of this edition to be not worth my time. [If that is irritating, so is reading another 100 pages.] Prague in 1993 was such an rich and vibrant place. It seems so ripe for a novel, but Shteyngart twists ever so slightly into a fiction that doesn't seem to serve a purpose. Yes, there were gangsters, 25,000 American ex-pats, and bars where they hung out, and bars where the locals hung out, and good literature available in english, old ladies and pensioners who couldn't cope with the changes that they had seen. So, why, oh why, change all the names of the places, largely through making anagrams of the original names? There has to be a reason, but it is not apparent to me. Prior to his travel to Prava, there are a wealth of avenues for Vladimir in New York to go down. That Shteyngart chose a quasi-picaresque adventure for him to return, to Bohemia, but not to his homeland, ignores and eradicates potential character and plot developments, which may have been more satisifying. Indeed, although surrounded and acknowledging the legacy of more famous ex-pats, the ex-pat Vladimir does not reflect upon the world he has left behind, beyond realizing that he's been overly intertwined with his Jewish mohter and that he creates, and fosters the similar amorous relationships in a new land.

Rendhy Wahyu rendhywahyu — Never in my life read Flannery O'Connor (eek, yes, I admitted it!) But her life sounds interesting. Short, but interesting

Abrar Athar abrar4005 — Whale Talk was basically a story about a boy named T.J. who lives in a very neighborhood. Fed up with the the school bullies, the sports stars that get away with bullying and violence because they are the coaches 'favorites', he decides to start a swim team made up with the the most uncool kids in their school/town. This book is poignant. It deals with rascism and bullying in a mature light, while also making the characters realistic and easy to relate to. The scene where T.J. is ready to beat some of the bullies black and blue after they sexually harass his girlfriend's friend, and his mother sits him down and explains why that would be a bad idea is a very interesting scene, more realistic then you'd expect from a work of fiction. All in all, it's a great novel.

Josecarlos Fernández jocafehe — This is about the third or fourth Kevin Brooks book that I have read. They are all so delightfully creepy but this one left me sort of cold. I like the book less and less as it went on. The brother's arrival in the village, and the dark, desolate moors and the unwelcoming townsfolk and the whole gypsy thing made it very eerie, but it the end, the book just sort of descended into violence and bloodshed, and there were so many evil henchmen that I could not keep them straight. I was getting tired of descriptions of endless beatings, and a day after I finished it, I can't actually tell you why Rachel was murdered. But I'll read more of his stuff.
