If you like the movie "Memento," you'll like this book. The style of writing wasn't my favorite, but the premise is interesting. It was also a really quick read -- I blasted through it in probably a couple days.

A book that covers the passage of time as if it were a wheel that would spin on into infinity were it not for the wear of the axle, One Hundred Years of Solitude is the story of the rise and fall of the Buendia family and their village Macondo. It tells the tender truths and lies of a family from the life of each member by blood and marriage, the passage of time told by the relationships of members who scarcely realize the depth to which their daily actions resonate back to generations before. Habits and quirks are passed on between family, noted only by the eldest family members, their every action and observation poetic. The fantastic elements never once distract from characters as flawed and real human beings, a boy followed by yellow butterflies, a girl so beautiful she transcends to heaven, the cryptic documents left by a gypsy older than the town itself who appears as a ghost to the Buendia family. Marquez depicts the realities of a family that is constantly reborn in the form of a solitary air, clairvoyant eyes, the craft of small toy animals, or a passion for making things to unmake them in such a way that is flowing, cyclical, and yet always unique. Admittedly there are boring generations/family members and that can make chunks of the book a little static but the ending is perfect. For minutes afterwards I felt like I died with the family.

Didn't finish reading this one. I was listening to it on CD (to which there are about 14) and made it nearly three quarters of the way, but it just didn't keep my attention... and it seemed a bit stretched-out. Maybe the next one will be a little more gripping (for all the praise Tunnels received...)

Contains Spoilers In The Locket by Stacey Jay, Katie makes a huge mistake that ultimately ends her relationship with her boyfriend Isaac. Prior to this she finds a locket that belongs to her grandmother and once she starts to wish to take back her mistakes she gets to go back in time and have a second chance. However, this is not without consequences. I thought the story had a lot of promise, but in the end it just didn't live up to my expectations. What could have been a great story just left me with more questions that weren't really answered. Whenever she changed things and went back in time something different happened. I understand the butterfly effect but how can things change so much the second time around that a new person is created (Mitch's soon to be step brother)? Not to mention the locket was never explained, the grandmother never remembered having it, how and why does it have its powers, and why does it stop working after a certain period of time? The characters were not well developed. Issac was pretty one dimensional and Katie was completely clueless during most of the story, even her big revelation at the end seemed like it was kind of added on in a hurry. Through the whole book her priority is Issac even at the end when she throws herself at him that her big confession to Mitch held very little weight. I give the book 2 stars. It could have been really good, but sadly it just wasn't.

3.5 stars. Some stories were great, others just confusing and overly-complicated.

Story of a sensitive, classical music loving, Proust reading vampire just trying to find love. Another reviewer called it weird..but in a good way. I'd agree.
King Solomon’s Mines is a little older than most of the other books I generally read for fun; the copy I got from the library was published in 1924. It’s interesting to read fiction that is this old because the writing style is so different than novels that are written today. Style differences aside, King Solomon’s Mines is an interesting adventure story (it clearly is good movie material; 6 different versions show up on IMDB, including a sequel to The Librarian with Noah Wylie). It takes place in Africa at the end of the 1800s-ish. Allan Quatermain is an elephant-hunter and adventurer who is hired by Sir Henry Curtis to accompany him and his friend Captain Good on an expedition to find Curtis’ brother and also to find the fabled mines of Solomon (the source of the book’s title). The trio, along with some native African guides, make their arduous way through jungle and desert before getting swept up in a political intrigue in a native African nation. Quatermain is an interesting character and a good narrator. While he sometimes says things that are jarring to the modern ear about Africans, I felt like on the whole he had a lot of respect and complimentary things to say about the good Africans that they met in their travels. Since some of the Africans the party met were the antagonists of the book and wanted to harm the party, I don’t think it’s too jarring to have Quatermain not be too kind in his assessment of those characters. Overall, the book was good, mostly in the same way that an Indiana Jones movie is good; you know the heroes will make it to the end, even if they’re trapped, or about to be shot, or whatever. And there’s a quest and treasure in an exotic locale. If you can stomach 274 pages of old-timey writing, give the book a go. If you can’t, check out the 1985 movie version that has John Rhys-Davies…but remember that the book is often better than the movie!

I love this book! It is SO cute!It is a story about a young Roman boy named Rufus. Rufus did say that CAIUS IS A DUMBELL. But he did NOT break into the schoolroom and tie up his teacher and certainly did NOT paint CAIUS IS A DUMBELL on the temple wall. Still he is blamed for it and his freinds must help him by finding the REAL bad guy and soon!
