I started to read this book and found it so similar to "The Omnivore's Dilemma" that I had to put it down - at least temporarily. If you want to read them both, I suggest spacing them out or it might be a bit of foodie overkill.

Review coming 8/1/11 at www.ieatwords.net! :) I had been wanting to read this book for such a long time! Britney did a video review on it on our YouTube channel (icon to the right) gushing about it, and I hoped I would like it as much as she did. I loved the plot and characters. In the beginning, DeStefano sets up this dark, bleak world that's almost a satire on what modern day society could be. Rhine (I just LOVE that name!) is a strong main character, but I liked that she still had her flaws. She's caring and compassionate but it seems like at times she had trouble grasping her emotions. I adored Cecily and Jenna, too. They were polar opposites, but that's what made them stand out to me. Cecily is overly emotional, dramatic, and young-spirited, whereas Jenna seems uncaring and self-absorbant, even though she has a soft interior. Then there are the boys, Linden and Gabriel. The one thing I did love about this story is that you can never really hate Linden. He's too innocent and kind-hearted. Even though I really wanted to find a reason to dislike him, I couldn't. I wish there were more scenes with Gabriel because I loved the way Rhine opened herself up when she was around him. The plot within this dystopian world is believable. I felt myself getting sucked in because even though we really don't see Rhine's brother, I wanted her to find her way back to him. And as she grew more attached to Gabriel, I wanted him to experience life outside of the house walls as well. I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen and what the Housemaster had to do with keeping everyone confined within the walls of the manor. The only microscopic, tiny complaint I had was with the writing style. DeStefano has a way with words and her writing is beautiful, but a part of me wished there was more interaction through showing instead of telling. I felt left out when I would read about all the moments Jenna or Rose shared with Rhine, and I wanted to know what they were talking about, what was being shared, and how that made them connect. Other than that, her writing left me emotionally attached to Cecily, Rhine, Linden, and Gabriel. In the end, I actually felt my heartstrings break a little for Linden and Cecily. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure, dystopian, and mystery. It was a wonderful read that I had a hard time putting down.

7 Bài Học Hay Nhất Về Vật Lý (Tái Bản 2017) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Carlo Rovelli

Among Others is gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeousness. This story of a Welsh, disabled, scifi-obsessed teenage girl claiming her independence after the death of her twin sister is a rich, introspective narrative that will speak to anyone who has ever found solace from the outside world in fantasy or scifi, and to anyone who has ever found much-needed community with fellow bibliophiles. This is a story about being an other, physically, intellectually, regionally, and about how books can breach that otherness, connecting lonely individuals to readers and writers, to all those who have read or written in the past, in a beautiful tangled web of words and thoughts and allusions to past words and thoughts. This is a story about inhabiting a female body and what it is to have mothers and sisters who inhabit that same body, all those other women who are a part of us and yet are not us. Despite all Mor's discussion of genderless scifi worlds and sexuality spectrums, this is a book that is firmly rooted in being a girl, in what it is to come of age in a body with a vagina, yet not be defined by that. And despite all of the fantastical elements like faeries, witches and magic, this is a book that is rooted in realism, in real-life love and loss, family and friendship. This book is truly beautiful. This book is truth. Note: I won this book in a goodreads giveaway.

I am not a big fan of Ian McEwan. I was just impressed with a few pages of "The Cement Garden", especially the infamous lines "Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it's okay to be a boy; for girls it's like promotion. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, according to you, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading." But the book didn't leave much of an impression on me and I had to read "Black Dogs" to keep my faith in his writing going. This book leaves me neither here nor there. I love the crisp writing and the fact that it is a very quick read (took me a little over 1.5 hours) despite trying to be a serious/mature book. But its too flimsy to be Booker Prize material. I guess its the shortest Booker winner ever, not that a book's merit lies in its size. Anyways, the story revolves around two friends, Clive Linley and Vernon Halliday who meet again at a common lover's funeral who has died under miserable circumstances. Presently both are entagled in professional issues which take up the bulk of the writing. Clive can't seem to get enough inspiration to finish the Millennium Symphony he has been commissioned for. Vernon, as the editor of "The Judge" is engaged in an ethical debate about whether or not to publish incriminating pictures of a powerful politician he personally loathes. Reminiscing about the past together, they remember their own lives with Molly Lane and that leads then to make a pact. My biggest problem with the book is the light-handed treatment of strong subjects like active euthanasia, duties as a citizen and freedom of press. Sometimes its just downright funny how shallow the arguments are. I know the book isnt primarily about any of these topics but maybe a little bit of soul searching would have added a lot of credibility. The characters seem forced and too self-righteous. The ending is too bizarre and unrealistic. Now to balance the equation for McEwan I need to read something by him which is absolutely genius. Rating: 3/5

This is an easy read and exciting, too, but that is not to say it lacks deep research or avoids the complexity of China-Tibet relations and Tibetan history and culture. The author does an excellent job showing the good and the bad. He does not romanticize Tibet. There are many interesting aspects to this story and one for me was learning about the CIA’s involvement with the rebels in the 1950s. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Tibet and/or the suppression of freedom.

Don't be fooled by the title, very little of the book covers ending the Iraq war. Very little original thought. Some of the claims seemed a little outlandish and didn't have supporting documentation listed in the notes section

This was a great book if you hate those latte-swilling, SUV-driving, McMansion dwelling types ... but also kind of are one. I could actually feel my IQ decline as I read it. Great light summer read.

3.5 Anyone who likes conspiracy theories, police procedurals and sci-fi will love this book. I enjoyed it quite a lot, once I got over the little things that irritated me about it. The story is unique and compelling and the ending is not predictable at all. It didn't do that thing I hate so much (foreshadowing), and I really appreciate it! The little things that irritated me: the premise is complicated, but the author just hints and insinuates at what that complication is for the first 50 pages, instead of telling the reader what's going on. The confusion detracted from my enjoyment, and added nothing. The regional names are unneccessarily quirky and impossible to pronounce, and the reader (me) stumbles over them at every use, which for the place names, is about 20 times per page. There are some bizarre and unexplained idioms, apparently intended to show the differences between the two main regional dialects, but they add nothing and serve only to bewilder. The concept is unusual and mysterious enough without these little quirks. But, as I said, on the whole, an enjoyable read. Possibly even thought provoking.

Homemade punk-queer novella my girlfriend found at that anarcho-feminist bookstore on Bowery. Of course, I love it for sheer micro-press verve, but its endless procession of sex, drugs, and gender angst seemed to be trying a little too hard to be totally mindblowing. But who knows, maybe it's autobiography and I'm a jerk. (Probably not). (Keep making these either way, people!)
