The book that started my love for Isabel Allende novels. Allende writes with such colorful detail and moving emotion I find it is often difficult to put her books down. Enough said.

A very quick, very enjoyable read. I'm putting it on the comics shelf because, well, I can, and it is heavily illustrated--which is a big part of its buzz. The story, by nearly all accounts, is told in a combination of words and pictures, but having read it--most of the pictures seemed like illustration of something that either was expressed, or could have been in just a few words. I liked the book, especially for its being one of the first of its kind (I'd look for other books like this in the near future). Rather than making the book seem like a comic, it does have a certain cinematic feel. The picture-sections have a good rhythm; the prose is (mostly) well written. Where it starts to clunk a little is when it's a page or two of text, a picture illustrating the text, a page of text, an illustration, page of text. The prose and the pictures have distinct, but different, rhythms, coordinating but not complementing, exactly. Overall: a good read, one I'd recommend. Film lovers, comics fans, those interested in 19th-century automatons: what are you waiting for? Go to the library and get this! (Because the $23 cover price is maybe a little steep for a 2-hour read.)

This was a delicious book. It reminded me of Colette's "My Mother's House". Diana Athill writes of her childhood growing up with cousins, ponies and a loving family on her grandmother's estate in Norfolk England. It is full of the joys of an upbringing rich in healthy living, training for good manners. This one I am buying through Abebooks.com. Some of the vignettes were so wonderful I had to read them aloud. She is shaping up as one of my favorite writers. It isn't an easy book to find. It came through our inter-library loan system, Link Plus.

After reading House to House, this is the Marine Corps story of the taking of Fallujah. I feel it tends to jump around and doesn't flow as it should. Over all it is a good read.

I would give this 3 and 1/2 stars. This is a quick read and an interesting topic. The characters were well written and the chapters in each characters voice was a good device. Good for the beach or travelling.

'If she dies, I'll die' are the words fifteen-year-old Mia Pearlman writes in her journal the night her mother is diagnosed with cancer. Twelve days later, Mia's mother is dead, and Mia, her older sister, and their father must find a way to live on in the face of sudden unfathomable loss. Cures For Heartbreak has it all: humor, sadness, love, laughs, and embarrasing firsts. There are so many things I loved about this novel. Mia is a great true-to-life character. Whether she's resorted to bringing out all her stuffed animals from the closet to give her comfort, to her first date, to her obsession with romance novels, to her first experiences loving a boy, to her fears about her father's health, to her worries about normal teenage life...it's all in the details. And the details are here. I was always daydreaming, getting a crush on some guy. Unrequited or not, during even the most awful day a crush could change everything--it could make you forget the two classes you failed last semester, and the general overall suckiness of your life. A crush removed the world, at least for a little while (139). It was a romance novel entitled Larissa's Love Royale, which I'd bought in the gift shop. It wasn't one of those romances with a subtle cover that try to pass themselves off as ordinary books, either. No. This was all luscious bosom, gold embossed letters, and tanned male chestage, set on a Renaissance pirate ship (109) In romance novels this would change everything. A hand holding on page fifteen and you knew for certain, no matter what, that the couple would end up together, that not even 350 pages of pirates, wars, family deception, or evil twins could keep them apart. That's what I liked about those books. I wanted to believe when I read them that that kind of love was possible and real, that it truly existed (217). Part of me knew that it was unrealistic to hope for something, to transform our brief meeting into some whirlwind of eternal devotion...I wasn't sure what I'd do if I didn't have Richard to think about. Even if it was unrealistic for us to be together now, what was to stop us from connecting in the future, like the characters in a romance novel, meeting on page two and again on page two hundred? I could see Richard and myself at more appropriate ages...me, having graduated from college, in a job (anything but social worker), until some minor incident--a friend's baby, a sprained wrist--took me to the hospital. Years would have passed--no matter. He'd have been through girlfriends, many of them, but never married. In hours, it would happen as we'd always known it would: we'd kiss outside the hospital, a deep, shocking kiss, and the other doctors, the passengers in traffic, the visitors, the social workers--the whole world--would stop and stare in surprise(61-62).

Freshman year in high school this was a class read that we did. The book was an assignment really. I will admit upfront that I am not a big fan of old literature. I dunno if its the way it is written or because the books are just from a time that is just too ifferent from my own for me to be able to really truley grasp it and immerse myself in it. On one hand I will admit this book is no different than any other of its time, being written in a way that shows its age a bit. It isn't a boring read though, and really its one of the better pieces of older lit I have read. The characters are classic and well developed, the story is easy to follow and intriging, and most importantly it has a point that isnt drawn out in the way its presented, commenting on hu.am nature in a way. we all have two sides really and the author captures that in this usng the potion and cience as a way to show thta. Even if you dispise old lit this i one old piece i will gladly call a classic and highly reccomend to anyone looking for a good story that isnt too long or drawn out.
