Kate Mcgregor katemcgregor — This is perhaps the worst book I ever finished. I don't really recommend it. The thought experiment aspect of the book could have been interesting, but was unfortunately written for people who haven't read Baudrillard and don't understand particle physics. Which I don't, but I got it much faster than the people in the book. Plus, the story was absurd, and poorly thought out. The main character was smarter than the writer, and seemed to resent that. Plus, it seemed that the sex scenes were written by someone who knows nothing about sex about someone who has serious sex issues. It was almost unbearable. I only finished the book because it was short and I have an obsession with finishing books. I wouldn't recommend anyone else try it. It doesn't get any better. But I gave it 2 stars because I finished it.

John Dough kirbkreator — Great sci-fi collection...loved every story. Full of brilliant what ifs.

Joe Glyda jglyda — Re-read this last weekend because I had put it in my backpack as a possible book for my students to read and ended up on a plane with nothing else to read. Much more heavy-handed than I remembered (I probably last read it when I was about 7, though), but it was amazing how much I remembered considering how bad my memory for books generally is. I think it's because it was one of the first books I read where a kid dies; that was the scene I remembered most.

Adrian Calderon _drian_alderon — Just try to read this book without making comparisons to Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle." No spoilers, but what you've really got here is a powerful contrast to the faith in social justice that Sinclair preached. He believed that communism was the inevitable answer to the horrible oppression of turn-of-the-century workers in the United States. In "White Tiger," you've got a protagonist (Balram) who is abused and oppressed in contemporary post-Gandhian India, where "social reform" is a term used for manipulation. Balram answers the question, "What would happen if a poor man shook off the real and imagined chains that held him, and decided to shape his own fate?" The genius of this book is in the handling of great moral questions. Adiga is meticulous in crafting the mixed morality of all of the characters, so that you're forced to face the issues without the benefit of defaulting to one "good" character you can believe in. I also found real value in this book for its honest debunking of India's pop-spirituality. India has always begged the question: "If we've got the answers to all the deepest questions, then why is this country so messed up?!" Adiga begins cutting through nonsense on page one and never stops, and the book is all the more vivid for it.

Rodrigo Dias rodrigodias — Re-read March 2012 * I could read this book every day, and never get tired of it* Wow, how did I get so lucky to read two great books in a row? I'll tell you how - Goodreads.com and Borders. When I posted my recommendation for Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, I got a page that said "people who recommended this book also recommended... Guersney. I looked at it, but I thought the only thing it had in common was WWII, which isn't a genre I'm particularly interested in, so I said "No thanks." Then I went to Borders, which had up the famous "If you like these, you'll like this" section. Well the "these" showed Hotel, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which I love, and the Piano Teacher, which I enjoyed - and the "this" was - you guessed it, Guernsey. At that point I gave into fate and bought the book. I'm so glad that I did. Guernesy is set just after WWII ends, and is entirely composed of fictional letters and correspondence. The main character is JK Rowling funny in a similarly british way, and by pg. 11 I was already recommending it. It's amzing how much you could learn about characters by their own, and other's letters. They were vivid, they were real, and I enjoyed them tremendously. I could not put it down - read it in 1 day. You'll thoroughly enjoy this book. You'll laugh more than you cry, but you will cry. You may forget the name, but you won't forget the book.

Aci 4hire aci4hire — I had no idea how much influence Brautigan has had over a whole slew of recent short prose until I read In Watermelon Sugar. It seems the root of a whole genre: fragmented, violent, flat. Eerily familiar, too...
