Seventeen year old Angela, fleeing yet another foster home, makes her way to her family's ancestral Chickasaw lands in the boundary waters of Minnesota, where she is reunited with her grandmother, great-grandmother, and another woman who had temporarily raised her. She is not sure what she hopes to find, perhaps an answer to how her face became so badly scarred, and why her mother abandoned her, but the acceptance she finds, and the attachment to the land that she forges surprise her. Joined by these three women in both a search for her mother, and in a fight for the environmental protection of their Native lands, Angela grows into her own power as a woman.
3.5 stars is my my true rating. It was enjoyable, lovable, and easy to read. I am grateful for an "adult" book without all the "adult" language. The thing keeping me from rating it higher is that it didn't pull me in to where I HAD to keep reading...total leisure, read when I can sort of book. I did like it:)

Solid research (lots of footnotes), almost too much detailed stats at some points, and excellent writing (e.g., short sentences) are the strength of this book. It reads similar to a somewhat disparate collage of econ/finance/policy articles from the Economist, or the New Yorker, or Times. That takes a star off for me. There might be a lot of attention to Long Term Capital, Hurricane Katrina, professor DeSoto's work in Peru and South America, British landowners in the 1800's, and the poor in Detroit or Memphis (subprime mortgages). But I kept thinking "wow, this is interesting, but why is he focusing so much on this topic which may not have segued well from 2 prior topics?" Very loosely this "ascent of money" starts about 500 years ago in his book (with bulk of pages covering the last 20 years): money leads to banks, eventually you get to governments issuing bonds, then private firms issue stock, then risk is shared with advent of insurance companies, then futures and options, and unwarranted tilt to highly levered investments in real estate. Couple of things he made clearer: "Chimerica" (linkage of China the maker and lender with US the buyer and borrower... and he speculates the next great war possibly could be between these 2!); that LTCM's demise was they bet wrong on an increase in stock volatility in 1998 having sold ton of options; "NINJA" were the poor folks who were the predominant borrowers using subprime mortages (no income, no jobs and no assets), and folks well trained in financial history have seen lots of Black Swans!

Well-written, and a decent catalogue of actual terms and specifications, with vivid descriptions and a nice glimpse into the characters minds.

The plot and setting were interesting, but I couldn't get past how painfully obvious the "point" was, or how you were so obviously supposed to bridle at the utopian society that doesn't allow for indivuality. Would be great if you were a kid.

mobious was a crazy old cat; like barthes on watt's zentrip, a mathematical magician tells a grand history of the strip and its influences in the culture. more pirckover here: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/Pickov...
Admittedly, it was not an easy book to get through at all times. However interesting, intriguing and fascinating, sometimes I just wanted Elizabeth Kostova to get on with it :)
Koontz continues his new telling of the Frankenstein tale. There are strange goings on in Montana so Deucalian, Carson and Michael head off to try and stop the clone of Victor Frankenstein from eradicating humankind. It kind of ambles along but it's a pretty decent and easy read. The ending is a cliffhanger so it would appear there's going to be another book.
v good, v hypernatural and satirical. egalite, fraternite, and liberte. aaaah, globalization - is what i said when i finished the book.
Definitely one of my favourites. The difficulty and frustration the heroine faces is easy to sympathise with. The romance was heartwarming, and the ending arrived with a deep sense of satisfaction.
