You know, this book was recommended to me by someone else who LOVED it. I was so bored by it, I could not even finish reading it, which is highly unusual for me. I felt like the book was trying to hard to have deeper meaning about controlling governments and dictators. The play is way better than the book.

It's hard to truly understand poverty unless a) you experience it first-hand, or b) you read a work like Random Family. But this isn't just some study about poverty; it's about people. Although LeBlanc zooms in on several family members, she focuses on the lives of Coco and Jessica, two Latina women who at the beginning of the book are mid-teens--a vulnerable stage where they're trying to build their identities, impress others, and be experimental. This is where they start to make detrimental choices that will affect them forever. Sure, the ladies may be told that they can be successful and independent, but their role models are being beaten by boyfriends and the men showing interest in them are drug dealers. Since they are young and financially unstable, it's difficult to remove themselves from the culture; and even when they try, it's impossible to sever the ties. An amazing amount of time was put into this book. LeBlanc spent years researching, conducting interviews, and enveloping herself in the family's environments (she was present through many of the accounts). She's not some scholar who compiled her data from the safety of an upper-class neighborhood where she was so removed from the culture that she couldn't understand it. Yet she manages to detach herself from the book and tell it as a story--not that it necessarily reads like a novel, but it's narrated from a third person point of view, minus statistics or outside analysis. She does a good job of balancing details with the larger picture. This is not a fast read. You can't just skim it and understand the complexities of all the people and their relationships. There's a lot to keep straight, which is why some readers lose interest quickly. There's so much information to deal with that it could have been a hairy mess, but instead it has been formed into a smooth narrative.

Don't know where Cornwell went wrong but this story line just isn't anywhere as good as the Kay Scarpetta storyline. The characters are not as interesting and the story telling is just crappy.
Pretty fun, even if the story was a bit not believable. That guy Pitt gets laid way too much though...he should probably cut back a little or he'll give himself a hernia! LOL

I just took a 12 hour road trip where I had to set out at about 2:00 in the morning. This book was just perfect for that trip. The plot doesn't require too much thinking to figure out, the story is funny and cheesy, and the narration was good enough that I was able to stay awake. In general, Jennifer Crusie audiobooks are great when you just want to listen to a decent story without a lot of effort.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules was written by Jeff Kinney. This story was generally about how Gregory's brother Rodrick annoyed Gregory and exaggerately ruined his life. He threatened to tell his secret that happened over the summer and he did. Fortunately, everything turned out fairly okay. The secret was inaccurately stated because the rumor spread and soceity didn't listen or comprehend. Here's the secret: Gregory was hiding away from his brother because he was about to steal his "diary". However, Gregory hid in the bathroom, and he thought he was in the men's restroom. He saw women entering and exiting, then he realized he was in the women's bathroom. Security came and egressed him out of the building. The plot was constructed better than the first book to the series. The purpose of this book was to entertain, of course! I know this is not really a 8th grade level book, yet it is very comical to read. Readers, I think, read this book because of the graphics and sketches that is interpreted in this book, as well as, the first book.
Goodreads ate my review for this book, the shuck-faced klunk-headed good for nothing shank. Oh, well. It was basically me saying, "Oh, I liked this!" So, five stars!
Zoomy's life was ordinary from the day he was a baby. Zoomy lived with his grandparents named Grandpa Ash and Grandma Al. While Grandma Al does the cooking and half the gardening, Grandpa Ash goes to the store. The store is where Grandpa Ash sells antiques, although sometimes he helps with gardening. And Zoomy does the watering and weeding in the garden.That was all Zoomy's life was all about. Until he found the "dangerous box". Buckeye was the one that who gave him the dangerous box. Inside that box was a notebook and a blanket. But what Zoomy didn't know was that the notebook belongs to Charles Darwin's. Soon Zoomy went on his own research about the notebook and that lead to more excitement in his life. Soon he found a girl Lorrol. They became fast friends. But keeping hold of that notebook lead to a fire. But soon Zoomy proved that the notebook was really Charles Darwin's. That bought people to his town called Three Oaks. What i like about this book is that the author gives great details and makes it seems like the characters are real. What i also like is that the author made this story based on her life experiences.
More like 3.5, really. (Edit - I bumped this up after being reminded how good the author is at turning a phrase, and at drawing portraits of minor characters with just a few words.) The setting and atmosphere are fantastic, full of little details about London and policing. I enjoyed the way the main character was immersed in London's history and also spent time musing about the way people interact in modern cities, and in general the narrator was very engaging and swept me right along through the plot. The subplot didn't quite fit with the main storyline, and I found the narrator's occasional emotional detachment from his friends puzzling. Overall, though, this really pulled me into its world, and I'm looking forward to future installments. I bought this because I recognized the author's name from Doctor Who books, but I think I enjoyed this more than his tie-in novels (which also felt a bit detached, come to think of it). A promising start.

This book details the oft-overlooked battles in the Huertgen Forest during World War II. A good read about an area of history not discussed as much as Operation Overlord, North Africa, etc.
