I really enjoyed this book. I loved the way the Narrator, who also is death, portrayed many things. The way you look at little things, or the way war and death go together in such a different way. I like that it wasn't just written from beginning to end. I enjoyed the flash backs and glimpses forward. I love the characters in this book. It was hard to not fall in love with Liesel or Rudy. Plus the layers in the characters like Rosa, Hans and Max were so real. We all have layers and mixed emotions on controversial issues and you could see that in the characters. You could see how Rosa was seen by others, how she acted, but knowing her real good intentions and love for her family. The author did a good job showing a glimpse of the life of those who did question what was being taught in Germany. That life wasn't easy. I am looking forward to the movie, hopefully I will still love the characters in the movie as much as I did the book.

Strangely enticing and a mix of many emotions that allow you to really connect with the characters.

Re-reading for the IT-along challenge!
So subtle and understated. I loved the way the story wove around building quietly until bam--it all made sense and the title came alive. Ian McEwen is a wonderful writer.

I really wanted to like this one. I truly did. The description of this novel, by new-to-me author Miriam Toews, sounded so different than anything else I'd read and seemed very intriguing. Irma Voth is 19, married, and living in a Mennonite community in Mexico. With the exception of her younger sister, Irma is pretty much estranged from her family. A filmmaker arrives in town to make a documentary and hires Irma as a translator. Irma befriends Marijke, an actress in the film and ...well, that would be as far as I got with this one. I can't really point to one specific element of this story that made me give up after 54 pages. My two main issues were that the plot seemed to be all over the place, kind of disjointed and unstructured. Also, as much as I tried, I didn't feel connected to any of the characters. Both of these were factors in making me lose interest. Normally I don't have any problem abandoning books that aren't working for me, but I did with this one because I was reading it as part of a TLC Book Tour. I don't do many book tours - and maybe I shouldn't do any, period, because this is now the second toured book that I didn't quite enjoy. It left me in a conundrum about what to do about the review, but after talking to the ever-so-gracious-and-understanding Trish, I decided to treat this one like any other DNF and just be honest. Bottom line? This one just didn't work for me. However, I'm planning to donate this ARC to my local library in hopes that Irma Voth will find a reader or two who will fall deeply in love with all that she has to offer.

I am a Koontz fan, but not of this novel. Somehow reading about a vicious rape that a six year old girl endured, really turned me off of the whole novel. Not one of his best.
Defenitly the best one

Definitely a museum guide, but helpful information. Plus the pictures of the icons are amazing. Worh the read.
the plot in this book is that jamie and his mom got in to a problem and had to move. they moved in to jamies mom's freinds house. and jamie had a good time becuase it was like he had a family. a mom and a dad and a little sister to pick on. i can connect to this book becuase me and jamies fathers aren't living with us. and that is how we can conect and jamie gets a father out of his moms friend. just like how i get a father out of my uncles. i rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. becuase sometimes it was boring. and i didnt want to read it anymore but the other parts were really good. if you like books were people have family problems. then you would love to read this book but if you dont like that kind of book then dont read this book.
If you are looking for epic, this is it. From the dysfunctional family intrigues of the paranoid Herod's palace to the mass suicide of the Jews at Masada, Josephus--who apparently was at the siege of Jerusalem--relates the story of the Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire. I started reading this book because it was referenced in two others I have been reading; one on the copper scroll of Qumran--a list of treasures that may have been saved from the temple-- and another on the treasure that Titus took back to Rome that has since disappeared into the coffers of history. But I also found that the book puts a good deal of the events of the New Testament in context. With the background of the factional conflicts in the temple, particularly between the priests installed by Herod and those by the Jews themselves, it is easy to see how some of the actions of Christ could be seen as controversial or even threatening--like the raid on the moneychangers and the halting of lawfully carried out lapidation--given the Herodian expectations of conspiracy and the pressures on the temple caused by this. It also puts some of Christ's prophecies into perpective. Josephus himself has an almost modern sensibility, and his decriptions of the siege, the atrocities, the violence, the betrayals, the power stuggles and the intrigues is tinged with both horror and sympathy, outrage and sadness. It is often a moving chronicle of a people and thier struggles against a dominating power and the price they pay for thier survival.
