This book was alright. I did enjoy her second book, which I read first much better. Perhaps I am getting too old for chick lit???????????

I found this at a discount book store and picked it up because of the cover. I was surprised to find that I really liked this book. But, I read it so long ago that I can't remember what I like about it.

I first read this in 6th grade. I was at the perfect age. I got it from the Etna library and it was a really awesome edition with pictures and I remember loving every second of it. It was also worth a couple rereads and I plan on rereading many more times.

For some reason, it took me awhile to get into the title story. It's classic Connie and once I picked it back up after vacation, it flew. But it's still not my favorite. I did immediately love Cash Crop. It was an early story, so haunted, very reminiscint of Daisy, in the Sun. I wasn't surprised by the twist, but I had thought she was a carrier. Still, this was gorgeous. I thought it was my favorite, until I read the next new story. Curse of the Kings was creepy and scary and if you love The Mummy, you will adore this. Nonstop to Portales was very very interesting, and I loved the twist at the end. It was a very quiet story, not very Connie until the end, but I enjoyed it. Then. Then came The Soul Selects Her Own Society: Invasion and Repulsion: A Chronological Reinterpretation of Two of Emily Dickinson's Poems: A Wellsian Perspective, and that was my very favoritest of all. If only this wasn't a 700+ page book, because I want everyone to read this and it's a hard book to loan out for a 10 page story. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard, though. It's a brief article written by a desperate English professor who wants tenure, reinterpreting Emily Dickinson's poetry through H.G. Welles's theory of zombies. Complete with poems that she wrote after her death and were found by another desperate grad student in 1990. *g* It's a must read. I paid extra for the signed copy with two extra stories. Capra Corn was a delight - I figured out the movies immediately, which was fun. Definitely a precurser to Spice Pogrom, another screwball comedy of hers that I adore. Substitution Trick was also a great deal of fun. Overall: A++ wonderful stuff. I can't wait for the next novel. Original review: It's here, it's here!! My beautiful humongous signed Connie Willis book with brand new stories, yay!!!
It's not only about how you look, it's about how you feel. That is definitely part of the lesson I learned in this book. You should feel comfortable in your own skin.
As a mom who hopes to homeschool, I'm thrilled to have Fifo "50 States" on our bookshelf!! There is just so much information in it, and there's really something for all ages. I know it is mostly intended for ages 4-8, but I doubt most of us know all of the facts about each state. There's a great deal that I don't know, so it's a great lesson for me, too. Each state has its own two pages. On the left side is a poem that teaches the state's number, capital, flower, tree, bird, and the state's motto is at the bottom. The poem for each one is basicly the same, except certain words are replaced for each state. You may or may not like this, but I loved that about it. I'm not a teacher, but it seems like it will make it easier to learn. On the right page is a picture with all kinds of different highlights from that state, including the flag and a picture of the state. Of course, since each state has different things that make it stand out, all the pictures are very unique. I think it would be fun to let your child go on a "treasure hunt" in each picture and find all the different highlights of the state. For example, Pennsylvania has a groundhog and hersheys kisses in its picture, along with lots of other items! This isn't a book you would want to just read straight through. The only somewhat complaint I have is that it is paperback. I would have prefered hardcover for this type of book, but I think it provides such a fun learning experience that I'd overlook the paperback part. :) I just adored this book, and again, I'm so glad it is on our shelves. We will definitely make use of Fifo "50 States" when we start to study geography, whether we homeschool or not! *I was provided a review copy of this book through the Pump Up Your Book tour in exchange for my honest opinion
this waz my favorite of all the books- the plot is kind of complicated but it was really good

Very funny and whimsical tale of a reluctant holy man in India. Enjoyable! Written sort of in the style of P.G. Wodehouse.

Like many people growing up in the US, I read THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN as an obligatory assignment at school. No one likes obligatory reading, and it was like water off a duck's back. Regretting that I remembered nothing of the novel, I recently re-read it, and I found it entertaining reading, and also much more for a grown-up audience than I expected. Of course the book was only started as a sequel to Twain's novel for boys THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER before being turned towards much more serious themes, such as child abuse and the conflicts in antebellum southern society. But even much of the novel's humour is intended for older readers, requiring some knowledge of European history and of Shakespeare. The book's status as one of the Great American Novels is curious when it paints so bleak a picture of America. Any signs of refined culture among these inhabitants of the Mississippi comes not even for the East Coast but from Europe. For all of Twain's love of the land--indeed, the Mississippi River is itself a character--he was clearly a cosmopolitan figure by this point. Or perhaps the praise of America is subtle, as it is a portrait of a land free of aristocracy (the characters who call themselves the "king" and "duke" are scoundrels), and the novel is written in the honest vernacular of country people. The novel cannot in any way be considered a perfect work of literature when it is an arc that soars towards quality only in the middle. The opening pages are still in the realm of children's literature, while the final section reads as a tiresome parody with far too much serendipity to be believable. For that reason I've rated it four stars.
