Andrea Salamino _ndrea_alamino — Another "cute" story. Predictable but fun and easy to read. It seems like a lot of these books are the exact same story - just different settings.

Beverley Parish _niko_tudio — Great book. I was put off by the description of the book as a 9/11 novel and was glad to find it was not about that event. Rather, it's about 9/11 the way The Great Gatsby is about The Great War -- historical events motivate characters but are not the theme or focus of the story. In this case, 9/11 motivates the Dutch narrator's wife to leave him, taking their son back to England to live with her parents. Left behind in NY, he finds a community among NY cricketers, immigrants, mostly brown-skinned from the West Indies and southeast Asia. His closest companion is Chuck Ramkisson who shows him the outer boroughs of the city, various subcultures, and the primal ambition that leads so many to immigrate to the United States (and to New York in particular). There is a definite riff on Gatsby here -- the financial sector narrator who rather passively follows the self-made (and re-made) American original -- but Netherland delves much deeper into the narrator's relationships with his wife and others than the shallower Carraway. In Gatsby, the title character runs criminal enterprises with Meyer Wolfsheim, who uses the WASP as a front for their business; in Netherland, Chuck uses a Jewish partner to get into the businesses he wants to penetrate. The link to Gatsby is cemented in a cemetery where Chuck insists he wants to be buried -- not flown home to Trinidad; a stone set in the ground says one word: "Daisy" -- the city itself is the love of Chuck's life. The writing is wonderful and always gives just enough detail while remaining lean. The difficulty of the passive protagonist is overcome with the narrator's need for companionship and there is also a wonderful turn in the middle of the book when he suddenly has the realization that maybe he isn't solely responsible for the failure of his marriage. From this point on, there is a lightness, a sense that he is not trapped by his personality (or the personality that others characterize him with). Well worth reading.

Ali Imran blubbermonkeys — Beautifully written - the author is so detailed you feel as if you are living with these characters. A tough read, but well worth the trouble.

Hoan Nguyen hoankhaing440b — this wasn't that bad for an AP U.S. history assignment. it was easy to understand and the language flowed nicely in an almost story-like format with additional commentary. an eye-opener on the Columbus section btw

For The forthepeople — I just couldn't buy into the book completely. All the relationships in the book feel too awkward to me. I think it was the dialog that bothered me. Constantly while reading the book I would think "Who talks like this?" I imagine that this is all largely due to the translation. The overall story however was beautiful.

Pedro Chein pedrochein — This is Tapply's latest Brady Coyne. I've really enjoyed this mystery series over the years..like his characters,the plot twists, and the Boston settings.

梦 年 1272806354433d — This is truly the essentials of Italian cooking. Not only do you learn how to butterfly and chicken breast, stuff a squid and de-bone a leg of lamb, but her recipes are also basic, flavorful and the majority of them are easy to make with everyday ingredients you have in your pantry. Her bottom line is building flavor. If you take nothing except one lesson from this book, take her advise about being a patient cook and taking the time to build a strong base flavor with good olive oil, garlic, onion, celery and carrots. If anyone wants to borrow this, i have it after my sister reccomended it to me. Thanks Rebecca.
