I thought this started out so well. Interesting plot line, with the elderly and the socialized medicine in Canda and good start of a mystery. Had my attention until the last 20 pages, when it started to get very elementary and it felt like the author was really wanting to be done with it. I hate when a good book ends badly!

This is a wonderful study on the gospel of Mark. It focuses on the significance of the cross to our lives. It is beautifully written and very positive. The book conveys the love of Jesus for us in very illuminating terms. The writing will make you ponder how great our Savior is. I highly recommend this book to any Christian seeking to deepen their relationship with Jesus, or anyone who wishes to understand the premises of Christianity.

Who knew a story about a stuffed rabbit could be so poignant, exciting, and amazing? Pair this book with Toys Go Out for a great comparison study on perspective.

One of the most difficult books I have read, but I could not put it down. I don't know if I was more amazed that someone could actually have lived this horror, or if the more amazing thing was that he made it out.
The idea of this work, that your blood type determines what you should eat and how you should exercise, is compelling, so I borrowed it from a friend. Of course, I started by skimming my own blood type, and I found it to be much like reading a horoscope in a Sunday paper. Sure, there were some things that seemed to fit, but there were also some things that were the exact opposite of my experience. I laughed out loud when I read that certain Types are subject to heart disease and cancer! Oh really, those are only the top two killers in the US, thanks so much for letting me know! :) The lack of actual research/ study citations becomes glaring in light of so many 'scientific' assertions, althought anticdotal case studies abound, further facilitating the feeling that this book is more about the author (and his desire to break new ground and/or recruit followers) than the book's actual content. And yet I could not back away from the appeal of the idea. Wanting to take my investigation a step further, I called my mom, the resident medical expert of our family. We discussed our family history and how it fit within the rubric of D'Adamo's theories, and our conclusions were pretty much the same as mine previous. The categories of blood type, as presented, simply failed to provide insight into our family health history. Finally, I read a few goodreads reviews, and looked the idea up on the web by googling, "Blood Type Diet". It seems that others had the same problems with Dr. D'Adamo's theories as I did. There is simply no research to support his ideas, and in the end, the types he sketches out are so general that those willing to believe will quickly see themselves in his writing and disregard all that doesn't fit. Not recommended at all. Well, I guess if you are studying mass hysteria, development of cult followings, or something similar, D'Adamo's book might interest you.

This book came highly recommended and also got pretty good reviews in Booklist, etc., so I expected to like it. However, I found it to be completely unreadable. Just not my thing, I guess...

Good, but not as gripping as some other of Eschbach's work I read recently. Maybe it was the audiobook version, I don't know. But at first it took ages to get going, and then, it was a tad sci-fi for my taste, or rather: too scientific. As usual, Eschbach knows how to explain a topic I don't know much about (here: nanotechnology), so this is, again, entertaining and educating at the same time. Also, he once more touches a lot of subjects and presents a lot of ideas and theories to make you think: "What if..." and "Could it...", making it difficult to put this story into one single genre. However, this time, it didn't felt as compelling as some other of his work, even though the actual relevation about what happened was a real eye opener and left me all baffled. But Eschbach could've made much more out of it imho, some plot pieces just got lost along the way, like Charlotte's special skill, I would've loved to get to know more about that and see it put to better use for the plot.
I really liked it, but I guess I was expecting more dirt.

I was about one-quarter of the way through this book when I had a strange revelation. It was, basically, kind of formulaic. And yet, the formula was rare and unpredictable. See, several years ago, I read Donna Tartt's The Secret History, a dark book about a group of preciously sophisticated, murderous wacked-out Classics majors at a small liberal arts college. I was captivated. Six months ago I read Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket's) The Basic Eight, about a group of precociously sophisticated, murderous high school students at a San Franscisco high school. I was, again, captivated. And then I read Special Topics In Calamity Physics, about a preciously sophisticated group of prep school kids that get involved in...is it a murder? A suicide? And I thought, is this some sort of new trend in fiction? The secret, murderous high school club? If it is the new trend, I understand why, I suppose. High School can murder anyone's soul, and it's tightly knit cliques that tend to do the most murdering. (I know the Secret History took place at a college. but it was about Classics majors, and they are just plain weird.) As a literature junkie, I also think I understand why these characters are always precociously smart- because former English majors and literature geeks dream them up, and it's such fun to dream up a character that lets you quote Joyce and Shakespeare nonstop. So, maybe I couldn't help but take this book with a grain of salt, and maybe the main character seemed just a bit too grown up for her years. But here's the thing- I couldn't stop reading the book. Like, I was obsessively carrying it around, and during the climactic sequence, I just sat there on the bus and didn't even notice I was late to work. So it's got formulaic elements, but the solution to the mystery bears no resemblance to either Daniel Handler or Donna Tartt. And so heroine Blue seems a bit too wise for her years...so does Harry Potter, after all. I'd pick this one up if you like intrigue and don't mind a bit of academia along the way. (Yes, there are references to Joyce and Shakespeare along the way).
