Useful concept -- there are stages to change. Preparation requires other support than action

This was one of the first books I ever added to my TBR shelf here on Goodreads, and the fact that it's only now, almost four years later, that I'm getting to the book says sad things about all the books I hope to read. (mainly that I'll never have an empty tbr shelf, but whatevs......) ANYHOW, ON TO THE REVIEW. I am seriously always down for pirate fiction. Since I was a young child, I have been fascinated by pirate lore and customs and everything that has to do with the Navy/ocean. So when I saw this on Book Outlet, I immediately put it in my cart. I really enjoyed this book. I think that there's this idea that all pirates are cut throat thugs, with no honor code, and while there were a lot of those, there were also many pirates who were just regular people who wanted the freedom that sailing the ocean afforded. This book leans toward the second type of pirates. I really like the premise of this book. I love a protagonist who's not perfect and is mopey over a loss, and she's not unrealistically positive after she loses the championship in her sport. I think the pacing of the story is great, and it's not too unbelievably clean. Like, there are some curse words, there's some convincing injuries and Vaughn doesn't shy away from telling the gritty details (like, cutting off a limb was the preferred method of treatment for a serious gunshot wound because more often than not, there would be an infection and then death otherwise.) There were a few spots where I thought some details were glanced ver in order to keep the story going and/or finish it in less than 300 pages, but it wasn't anything that really took away from the plot. The noly think I really think I would have liked more is if she had changed the ending and (view spoiler) All in all, I'm really glad I got around to reading this, because I thought it was a good story and a good reason to listen to the PotC soundtrack on repeat

I love Lauren Kate’s The Fallen series. I was instantly besotted with book one, Fallen. Daniel and Luce and their tragically doomed love was mesmerizing. Tempted, book two, I was a little less thrilled with because of the distance between Luce and Daniel, but I still devoured it, nonetheless. But with Passion, Lauren Kate and her star-crossed lovers are back in their full glory. So, as Passion begins, Luce has taken off through time, determined to discover for herself whether her fiery fate with Daniel is worth all the heartbreak they must endure. She will now go back to some of her former lives to witness their love firsthand. Luce, with Daniel chasing her, confront their past selves. Initially, I must admit, this was more than a little confusing. I had to read, then re-read paragraph because I wasn’t sure if “Present Luce” or “Past Luce” was with “Past Daniel” or “Present Daniel”. Or would Luce conversing with her past self mess up the whole “time-space-continuum”? (points to those who got my Back to the Future reference!) Once I got a mental grip on past/present aspect of the story, I quickly fell in love with Passion. As Luce begins her journey, she is joined by “Bill”. Bill wants to help Luce through time to discover the key to breaking her curse. Luce is thrown into some of the most memorable moments throughout time. Lauren Kate did a beautiful job of setting the scenes in history so completely. From Moscow to Egypt, and beyond, the location was thoroughly set. Each time, she also had to make Luce and Daniel, and even their friends, into completely new characters. For me, each jump into the past brought a fantastic sense of anticipation. Each discovery Luce uncovered was tragic and beautiful. While I’ve always liked the character of Daniel Grigori, he definitely came across as aloof and untouched at times. By giving Luce and Daniel parallel storylines into the past, Kate made Daniel into a more sympathetic and likeable character. His pain each time he loses Luce is heartbreaking. His resolve to endure the pain each lifetime is unflinching. Passion was an intense read. The knowledge that just around the corner could lurk an impending doom and final revelation was riveting. With each leap through time, the stakes intensified. I found myself with a thudding heart and held breath. Will Daniel find Luce before it’s too late? Will their love withstand Heaven and Hell? The answers, the entire book, left me completely staggered. The final book in the Fallen series, Rapture, is set to release Spring 2012. *Passion is a book that I purchased myself

A fascinating story, but he loses credibility in the end when he describes his encounters with the yeti.

An interesting collection of columns from a veteran Singapore journalist and founding editor of the Life section, including his award winning piece "A Day in the Life" published in the 1989 National Day issue of the ST. Richard Lim writes with a wonderfully light touch, and the cornerstone of his columns is the personality that shines through. He illuminates everyday Singapore life, giving the reader pause for thought through his accumulated wisdom and personal anecdotes. I for one am definitely richer in terms of my understanding of Singapore and more importantly about life from having read Richard Lim. As the book consists of reprinted columns, there is unavoidable repetition of content and subject matter, but not enough to vex one. Buying and reading this book was probably part of my drive to try and read more about Singapore, having decided to return here, however temporarily.

This is a good book but I thought it was not as good as The interview with the vampire. It was not as explosive as I expected. I also had a problem with the ending. I thought Pandora deserved more as a character. The book spent too much time analyzing life or philosophy and not enough time on Pandora's story.

I first read the Lord of the Rings when I was 14 and I remember being so spellbound that I literally did not complete any homework for the entire week. It was one of those rather life changing transformative reading experiences. It fuelled a subsequent interest in Fantasy novels as a useful means of escapism. My very first edition was purchased in America, while I was staying with family friends attending a school there during my November vacation. It was purchased from a catalogue, given out on one of those promote reading type of campaigns. Another wonderful anecdote is that my sister left The Two Towers (it was a four book box set with the Hobbit included) in a restaurant, and when we went back to ask for it, we found that the owner's daughter had brought it home because she found it so interesting! We subsequently got it back. I love the statement made by one newspaper - there are two types of people in this world - those who have read the Lord of the Rings, and those who are planning to read it.
