I did not enjoy this book. It was my first time reading it and I had a very difficult time relating to anyone in the story - except maybe Phoebe and it was too close to the end of the book to "save" it. The book felt very dark and sad (I guess that was the intention) but I also felt alot of ire towards the little dumb ass main character. What a waste he was making of his life. I know that his brother's death was certainly affecting his behavior and I think his father's money didn't help, either. I can see the messages that were presented here, but I didn't enjoy reading it. One of those books where I couldn't wait to be done with it and had to force myself to finish reading.

This is supposed to be an homage to Sense and Sensibility, only more New Yorky and less readable. Imagine if Elinor ended up with Col. Brandon even though he originally had a thing for Marianne, and Marianne chose...a girl, of course, because this is 2011 and everyone's gay now. Mrs. Dashwood is divorced from her lying, cheating, rich husband, her cousin has an annoying wife and Willoughby is a self-centered actor. Okay, I can buy the whole Willoughby thing. But seriously, it's like the author took everything good and enjoyable about S&S, destroyed it, then wrote about it.

One of only twelve men to walk on the Moon, Col. Irwin's details of the Apollo 17 trip (including catching floating water droplets with a paper towel enroute),lunar surface explorations (they almost had history's first lunar traffic accident in the Rover), and what led him to become a committed christian will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Fantastic book, although I thought some of the side plots were unnecessary. Having worked in Heme-onc for a little while, this is a very accurate portrayal of the medical side of cancer- and from talking to the patients and their families, also of their part of it. The cancer is a basis for the book, but it will not bog you down with medical details. The book really is about the people affected by it and how it changes their lives. The ethics of the idea (I don't want to give too much away) are interesting but what happens in the book is not really what happens in real life.

I loved this book. If you are a "Pride and Prejudice" fan, you will love this book.

I really liked this story. The heroine was dealing with a tough past and it held her back some. But she managed to come out well with the help of her devoted husband.

It is always curious to see fantasy authors who don't consider themselves to be fantasy authors. Case-in-point: Terry Goodkind. The former landscape painter has told us how he isn't a fantasy author in every interview he's ever given: "The books I write are first of all novels, not fantasy, and that is deliberate; I'm really writing books about human beings."(1) "To define me as a fantasy writer is to misunderstand the context of my books by misidentifying their fundamentals."(2) "The stories I'm telling are not fantasy-driven, they're character-driven, and the characters I want to write about could be set in any world. I'd like to address a broader audience."(3) ""What I have done with my work has irrevocably changed the face of fantasy. In so doing I've raised the standards. I have not only injected thought into a tired empty genre, but, more importantly, I've transcended it showing what more it can be . . ." Then the interview usually devolves into a discussion of Ayn Rand and 'the meaning of art', just in case you missed the pretension of declaring fantasy books 'not fantasy!' The guy certainly has a chip on his shoulder, but it makes me wonder whether he has actually read any fantasy. He doesn't seem to realize that the things he claims separate him from fantasy are fundamental parts of how modern fantasy works. A novel that's fundamentally about character interactions with a magical setting? How droll. Goodkind doesn't reinventing the novel; he doesn't even reinvent the fantasy novel, he just twists the knobs to get a little more steam out of it. Michael Moorcock critiqued Tolkien as a false romantic, which is rather apt considering that his love story takes place almost entirely in absentia (prompting Peter Jackson to infuse some extra loving with a hot, elven, psychic dream sequence). Most fantasy authors rectify this by having the girl come along for the journey. Goodkind likes to keep the separation for much of the story as our hero tries to seek her out across a continent (though she is often just in the next room! Oh! What a tragic coincidence!) Actually, after the first time it's just an annoying and painfully artificial way to try to hold off the conclusion for another hundred pages. It's a good thing Terry doesn't have to rely on magical or artificial means to keep his stories fresh! The rest of the time, the hero finds the girl and lovingly transfixes her on his mighty sword. No, really. I'm not sure why these authors always end up feeling as if they have to dump their sex fetish issues at this particular juncture: "Huh, I dig BDSM. Maybe I should confide my fantasies in a book for mass publication". I cannot think of a single female character in the entire series who isn't either raped or threatened with rape. If you want to give me an example of one, remember: I'm counting magical psychic blowjob rape as rape. I wish I never had the opportunity to qualify a statement with 'don't forget the psychic blowjob rape'. I don't mind actual BDSM literature, but I'd rather have my own reaction to it than be told "isn't it totally dirty and wrong!? (but still super sexy, right?)" Porn for porn's sake is fine, but remember, Goodkind isn't some escapist fantasy author, these are 'real stories about real people' so he has to act like his magic porn is somehow a reflection of real life. Goodkind's books are cookie-cutter genre fantasy, but the first few aren't that badly done, and if you like people narrowly missing one another, bondage, masochism, rape, and dragons, it might work for you, but the series dies on arrival part-way through, so prepare for disappointment. If you are enjoying the series, you should probably avoid reading any of his interviews, as he rarely misses an opportunity to claim that he is superior to all other fantasy authors, and never compare him to Robert Jordan, because "If you notice a similarity, then you probably aren't old enough to read my books."(4) Goodkind truly lives in his own fantasy world if he thinks his mediocre genre re-hash is 'original' or 'deep'. Then again, I've never met an adherent of Ayn Rand who didn't consider themselves a brilliant and unique snowflake trapped in a world of people who 'just don't understand'. The Randian philosophies are also laid on pretty thickly in his books, but at least he found a substitute grandmother figure to help him justify his Gorean sex-romp as 'high art'. All in all, he's just another guy who likes to hear himself talk. Despite what he says, nothing separates his work from the average modern fantasy author, and like them, his greatest failing is the complete lack of self-awareness that overwhelms his themes, plots, and characters.

We are in big trouble, and the bail outs are NOT going to fix the fundamental problem.....plus rewarding greed, fraud and screwing the american people is NOT the answer.

I don't want to ramble about this book because you've probably heard how amazing it is already. It gives you an entirely new perspective in looking at things. Two thumbs up. I've heard Tipping Point is similar in some ways and is worth reading as well.

the first in a new "paranormal romance" series (cuz apparently, i like my porn to involve fangs or werewolves) that's so far surprisingly good. my coworker who's been keeping me stocked in the supernatural crack that's been fueling a month-long book-bender has found a real winner in this new author. you can tell from the first book that there's some carefully considered world-building going on, and the plot is far more than mere filler between bedroom scenes. nutshell recap: a woman finds out as she's approaching her mid-20s that she's really a half-vampire. the ruler of the vampire race, good friends with her deceased father, arrives to see her through the physically dangerous transition to vampirehood. we get introduced to all of the rules of this particular universe at the same time our heroine does, and many of the supporting characters in here earn their own books from the get-go. i devoured this one in its entirety on a plane ride home, and its sequel the very next day. lots of fun.
