Eat. Prey. Love. Mary's life is governed by simple edicts. Mind the Sisters. Obey your elders. Keep away from the fence. Kill anything that comes through. In Mary's world, there are no malls. There are no libraries. There is only the fence and the Sisterhood and the Unconsecrated. The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan is set in a world centuries after a plague caused the dead to rise and feed upon the living. Mary's society has survived because of a tall chain link fence surrounding their community and the strict rules of the Sisterhood. All of that changes, however, when an Outsider appears at the gate from a fenced off path that was thought to be overrun. Mary knows the Sisters are keeping secrets, but she has no idea as to the extent. Not for the faint of heart, The Forest of Hands and Teeth is a fast-paced, deliciously creepy novel that flings the reader into hold-your-breath, escape-by-the-skin-of-your teeth adventure.

My favorite of the Potter books, I've read it 14 times. Not an exaggeration. 14. Which is the sum of the times I have read the other 5. Roughly.

You can read my review here-Page Turners
The shorts that were added to pad out this volume's page count were only average otherwise it would received a high review. The four part Cat in the Cradle story following Thomas Blake, aka Catman is quite good. Blake remains the best developed of the series' characters, but that doesn't mean writer Gail Simone is ignoring the remainder of the cast. Cat is a Blake centric story that includes flashbacks to his childhood, and we see how physically and emotionally violent Blake can get when his infant son is kidnapped.

This book gives us Hornblower's first outing as a full Master & Commander of his own vessel, as a commander assigned to a sloop of war in the channel blockade. The novel takes place after the peace between England and France has broken down and Napoleon is preparing for an invasion of England. The book does a great job of showing not only the hopelessness of this prospect (there was no way to get an army across the channel in the face of England's naval superiority) but also the precariousness of the English position. Whilst at sea they were the superior, one bad storm leaving a break in their blockage could have allowed the French army an opportunity to dash across the channel and make landful. After this, as Hornblower puts it, "the tricolour flag would fly over the tower of London". After the last novel, Lieutenant Hornblower, we're used to seeing the title character from the eyes of others (in that case, Mr. Bush). We know he is intelligent, dashing, daring and all the rest, what we see in this book is how wildly insecure he is. This becomes irritating at times, but it does help to flesh out a very real character of whom we wish to read more, despite his all too human faults. Much is also made in this novel of the system of "Prize" money given to captains during the Napoleonic wars and the disdain Hornblower has for it. I think this is perhaps overstated somewhat and starts to feel a bit preachy, particularly towards the end when Hornblower gives up a chance at hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of prize to do the "right thing" and engage a frigate with his severely underpowered and outmatched sloop. The idea that he would do this is not at issue, it was the right thing to do for the war effort, however the book does have a tendency to paint those receiving prize money as opportunistic and corrupt officers, uncaring of the overall war effort and interested simply in lining their own pockets; which in this case was most patently untrue given that the capture of the treasure fleet was a major objective of the war effort, if only to keep the money out of Napoleons hands. Overall, an entertaining book that paints a very human picture of a naval captain striving to do what he considers his duty and struggling with the fear that he is not up to the task that is required of him, whilst others watch the actions he considers simply "necessary" and see a remarkable and heroic man.

Pretty funny, satirical, definitely not to be taken seriously. Starts out with such tongue-in-cheek, matter-of-fact scene setting -- whereby the parents can't stand the kids, and vice versa. It's kind of like Hansel & Gretel in a twisted way -- in fact, the father finally is coerced into reading that very story to the kids one night & that's where both the parents & the kids get the idea to get rid of the others. It was pretty funny, in a dead-pan way.
This book was rather odd, and I found it kind of hard to read. It was dark, very frank about life and death which I didn't mind it just wasn't my favorite to read.
Listening to this one and I have to say, while I like the narrator's voice, the publisher hasn't edited out one mouth noise. It's got tons of sibilancy, breaths, clicks and general spitting sounds, and alas, is no where near as riveting as Hunger Games. It is, however, a cute middle school mystery. Enjoyable.

Not quite as enjoyable as his stand-up or live albums, but much better than a lot of the comedian essay collections I've read. Loved his discussion on what he read growing up and "We're Playing Snow Fort" might be my favorite essay on someone's childhood, ever. A quick book that I wish I had done on audio instead.
A good historical telling of actual pirates.
