Buergenthal experienced so much pain and loss and witnessed many horrors and murders when he was just a child, not much older than my daughter is now. It broke my heart to read his stories of the ghetto (including memories of a German man who would walk the streets of the ghetto and shoot random residents in the back of the head), the concentration camps, and the death transport. He was hungry and tired and always needing to stay alert to avoid the gas chambers, and no matter how much he attributes his survival to luck, a lot of it had to do with perseverance, inner strength, and the desire to live. The fact that he was so young when the war began means he didn’t have a normal childhood and knew nothing but hardships, which is sad yet contributed to his survival as well. There was a passage in the book where he mentions that his mother lost the best years of her life to the camps, yet because he was so young, he was able to begin a new life after the war. Another passage that struck me was his determination to break the cycle of hatred, noting that living in Germany after the war helped him to not hate all Germans because of what the Nazis did — but friends who settled in other countries after the war were not able to overcome their hatred. Buergenthal writes as though he is talking to you, and he includes plenty of details in his recollections so that I felt like I journeyed back into time with him. I think his story is important, as are all stories from Holocaust survivors, and I was upset to read in the acknowledgements that it took so long to publish A Lucky Child in the U.S. and the U.K. because many believe there is nothing left to say about the Holocaust. If anything, we need to be reminded so that we can work toward preventing such atrocities in the future. Full review on Diary of an Eccentric.

Marvelously y western. No spaghetti, just Old-Testament brutality: scalpings, massacres, and salvation. Harold Bloom called it "a perfect novel." Look for the great villain, the Judge, who reminds me of the former Montana State football coach.

Beautiful coming of age story in graphic novel form. The illustrations are lovely and expressive, the story poignant and relatable. It's a favorite read for me.

Oh, I love this series! It's kind of cheesy, but also absolutely adorable! Everyone who loves manga should read this story.

I started out reading it because I read all the others and thought "might as well". I forgot how much I love these characters. This book was filled with action and adventure and *spoiler* even reunited us with some infernal devices characters. I fully intent to continue on to her next series when it comes out.
This one of those stories that stay with you. There is no denying Hela cells changed the face of medicine and are to thank for so many advances,treatments, vaccines, etc. But there is also something just wrong about the treatment of Henrietta and the fact her family had no proper medical treatment and were beyond poor while companies made billions of their mother's cells that were taken without her knowledge.

this book is about mother courage and her children living in a time during war. this book talks about the challenges mother courage has with her children and the reason for the people naming her mother courage. throughout the play, her children dies one by one. i thought that this play was pretty interesting and i thought that it was kind of sad when it came to the end when her last child dies trying to warn the sleeping people of the city of the danger.

Maybe a three and a half. It reminded me of Life of Pi a bit, by leaving you to ponder out the real story in the end. I will read another of Stroud's books.
To explain, I read Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" first and decided to look for books that were similar in nature. Moving from that to this... I was daunted by the experience. T'was very apathetic and hard to get into. Reading about semi-rich protagonists feeling down on themselves is hard-put for me.

Thursday Next has had enough of the Book World, so she decides to take her two-year-old son, Friday Next, and return to the real world. She has a lot of unfinished business there, such as un-eradicating her husband, taking down the Goliath mega-corporation-turned-religion, and exposing wannabe dictator Yorrick Kaine as the fictional character he is. Not to mention making sure that the Swindon Mallets croquet team wins the "World Cup" of competitive croquet in order to avert a disaster of Armageddon-like proportions, teaching Hamlet to stop dithering so much, and teaching her pet dodo's young son some manners. That should be enough to keep her out of trouble. This one was still funny and interesting, but I like the way Jasper Fforde can really let his imagination run wild when Thursday's in the Book World. Not that he reigns it in much when she's in the real world, mind you, but I guess there's a certain cleverness and wordplay that happens in the Book World that I miss. Still pure escapism, but it's very fun, literate escapism that's unlike anything else you've ever read.
I no longer remember exactly what led me to buy this book, but I think there was something about the synopsis and the title itself that attracted me. Like so many other books I have, this one was left on my shelves, waiting for me to decide to read it, which happened now because of the Monthly Key Word challenge. The plot of this book is set in Norway and the protagonist is Trond, a lonely sixty-year-old who rents a cabin in the middle of the forest, where he intends to live the rest of his life and enjoy the silence. This experience in the midst of Nature is a kind of return to the origins, because it brings to Trond memories of a time when he periodically went with his father to a locality near the border of Sweden for a season when he had a good time with his friend John (sometimes they were going to “steal horses”), but in which he also helped his father with the cutting of trees and the treatment of logs for later sale. The narrative oscillates between the present (late 20th century) and the past (mid-1940s), and when Trond meets a person from his past, the memories are more vivid than ever and the retreats to the past reveal them to us. events that we are always expecting to become something truly traumatic or revealing, but that, in a way, never end up being. The truth is that, even in the face of an accidental death (which does not even directly affect the main character) and betrayed childhood dreams and expectations, I was never able to feel that these events had traumatized Trond to the point where he became a really interesting character. Then, there is a lot that remains to be explained, many characters that go along without us knowing what happened to them. This was not essential to have a well-told story, but, after some expectation created by the events we witness, it is non-climatic. As for writing, I couldn't decide. There are moments well above average, but I found the writing at the heart of the protagonist's thoughts sometimes too confusing. I think - without being absolutely sure - that the Portuguese translation was made from the English translation, and I wonder to what extent this will have affected the final product and the transmission of the author's voice. In summary, it was a book that did not fascinate me. Despite some good writing moments, I did not find the story particularly inspiring or captivating. I do not think I will return to this author.
