I got this book based solely on the reviews on Goodreads (and recommended it as our next book club book) because I would generally not give a second look to anything that has car racing as its main theme, but I'm glad I took the chance and read it. I first have to say that I wasn't thrilled with the plotline itself. I thought it's resolution was pretty contrived. And even though it was important to the theme and narrator of the story my eyes did get a little glassy when racing technique was delved into with more detail. The characters and their motivations were pretty simplistic and I don't know whether that was on purpose since the narrator is a dog and is basically relating everything from his perspective. I guess it makes sense if that was the case. But what I LOVED about this book was the dog, Enzo. He was hilarious! I loved his observations and his tangents. I loved when he talked about his favorite movies and actors and I loved that I found it very easy to hear his voice and tone of voice in my head.I was laughing out loud when he called crows "sinister little bastards" becuase I could hear just how he would say it. (At least in my mind.) Enzo was a wonderful character and I thought the author captured so many of the ways our dogs try to communicate with us and then imbued them with so much more meaning. Well worth the read!

Typical of pretty much all of these UF anthologies, there are some really good stories and then some really bad ones. As per usual when he has a story in one of them, Jim Butcher's story was the best. He has truly mastered the art of the short story. This one about who really placed the curse on the Cubs is the first in the book and the best, by far. The other good ones were Fairy Gifts by Patricia Briggs, Picking Up the Pieces by Pat Cadigan (about the fall of the Berlin Wall), Priced To Sell by Naomi Novik, Noble Rot by Holly Black & The Skinny Girl by Lucius Shepard. One of the better anthologies I've read in awhile.
I didn't love this one this way I loved the Kite Runner. It felt a little like Hosseni was trying to piggyback onto the success of Kite Runner, for some reason.

The cover is so wrong for this book, it really bothers me. The liner notes about the book so not what the story is about as well. Honestly, if someone had told me what it was really about (a fat girl staying with her estranged sister at a goat farm for lesbians) I would have not read it, so i guess I am kind of glad that the cover was all wrong and the blurb was trite. This was a really nicely crafted story. Not a lot happens, but you begin to get sucked into this peaceful world. I enjoyed the realistic portrayal of our heroine and the well rounded characters. Also it didn't suffer from lack of romance (even though it had a little). A good strong read.

A good, fast paced, fun summer read. Not too deep but it doesn't pretend to be.

One of my favorite vampire books. I like this series better than Elrod's Vampire Files series, though those books are good too.
Augusten Burroughs has got the "form" element of writing down. His sentences are always approaching a crass elegance that is perfectly suited to describe the gutters into which life often sends us careening (him moreso than others). The problem is that he doesn't seem to know what these sentences should be used to support. Ok, so you had a seriously (seriously seriously seriously ad infinitum) fucked up childhood. Why should I care? What about this book is relevent to me? What does it say about anything asides from satisfying his own masochistic ego and serving as the same type of personal therapy that he spends an entire book describing as borderline-useless? He really fails to make that connection with the reader. This memoir functions like a car wreck; of course I'll gaze out of my window to gawk at the flaming spectacle but was it really worth the two-hours of backed-up traffic that I had to sit through?
