A beautiful book. How Byers manages to press so much life--life in all its luminous complexity--onto the page always mystifies me---in a good way. In the best way. A generous, immensely gifted writer.

Helpful in learning. Just haven't had time to use it as much as I would like. Not as geared towards those who have a basic understanding or knowledge of the language though.

At sixteen, Ana not only discovers she's an angelic spirit in human form, but falls in love with a demon, Dylan. As demons are supposed to be the bad guys, this doesn't seem to be a good idea. However, Ana soon discovers good and evil are very much in the eye of the beholder. I found this a disappointing read. Partly from the unbelievable plot and annoying characters; partly, due to the author's lack of care. If I'm told the heroine has a baby sister, I don't expect her to proclaim herself an only child the first time her boyfriend meets her parents. I also wasn't fond of the author's love affair with adverbs. I think this was supposed to be a book aimed at young adults, but, except for some of the content, it seemed a bit young for that age group. Obviously, the content I speak of put it above middle grade, so I'm not sure who I can recommend it to. The heroine, Ana, struck me as a naïve and, at times, downright stupid girl, who was also a very bad friend - wanting Cheyenne only when she needed Chey to do something for her. The reasoning behind everyone thinking her special passed me by. She was as quick to believe in Dylan as she was to believe everything against him - no proof required. No logical thinking expended. I might have liked Dylan if he hadn't spent most of the book making overly suggestive comments for no particular purpose. I could have done without the religious references. The author didn't seem to be trying to convert anyone to a particular religion, but I still felt God was being stuffed down my throat more than I would like. The plot was decent, with hints added at the beginning until the climax of the end, but the end itself felt as though the author had forgotten to add the final few words. What did I like? The beginning. The beginning was what got me to read the book in the first place. I like how it got straight into things and immediately intrigued me. I liked the voice of the heroine. Unfortunate that the heroine herself didn't endear herself to me. I liked the pacing. So, yes, good beginning. Shame about the rest of the book.

This was one of Sam's favorites. The first time we read it, my kids were so scared of the beastie. Once they knew, they wanted to read it again and again.

I loved this book but I think the storyline between Annie and the Navy seal was forced or rushed depending on how you looked at it.

Yes, Dr. Laura is loud and in-your-face, and we all like to make fun of her. But I really do respect her. She is a loud, active defender of family, marriage, and feminity (Note: I did NOT say feminism...she forever rags on those femi-Nazis who have given the important suffrage movement such a bad name. Dr. Laura stands for women being as equally privileged as men, while still maintaining their womanly qualities such as feminity, nurturing, motherhood, wifehood, etc.) She speaks out in protection of children and traditional values. "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" is such an important book today, marriage and family are constantly being attacked from all sides. In this book, Dr. Laura speaks specifically to women, explaining how to be a good wife and mother. She tells women to respect their husbands, be loving and affectionate, be supportive, and many other simple things that women should be doing already...but so many aren't! Even though I've only been married for a year, this book has already helped me be a better wife; it's a perfect reminder when I need one. Women everywhere: please read this book! If you listen to what she says, your marriage will become better (if it's already great, it will become marvelous!)

Could also be called: How Not to Be A Pushover at Work. Good tips, reminders, common sense you just needed reiterated. Too much repetition but then again repetition is part of the point as other wise you wouldn't need a book of common sense reminders.
My first Lincoln biography, which has totally solidified my love for him as an intellectual and a president!

Sing You Home is my new favorite novel by Jodi Picoult, and as of now (mid-March, 2011) my favorite book of this year. There are so many things I wish I could say coherently about this book. I was at a loss of words when I finished it three hours ago, and I still am speechless. But I want to write this review while the emotions it evoked are still at their strongest. The writing was superb as always. Picoult doesn't use a lot of "SAT" vocabulary, or extremely complex sentence structure, but the way she engages readers with detail and finesse is extraordinary. I am always tempted to read just a single page more, then just one chapter more, until I've gone through the entire 400+ page book. I even forgot to put this on my to-read shelf on Goodreads. Picoult's characters are splendid - by the middle of the book I was immersed in Zoe's yearning for children and Max's difficulty with alcohol abuse, and I felt like they were real, breathing people. Vanessa's no-nonsense attitude I admired, and side characters like Dara and Lucy I came to love as well. The element that really made me appreciate this novel was Picoult's take on gay marriage, and homosexual inequality in contemporary society. I cannot adequately state how inspiring this book was to me in that regard. Here is one of the many powerful quotes that I had to stop and re-read (I even put this in my favorite quotes section on Facebook)... "I remember my mother telling me that, when she was a little girl in Catholic school, the nuns used to hit her left hand every time she wrote with it. Nowadays, if a teacher did that, she'd probably be arrested for child abuse. The optimist in me wants to believe sexuality will eventually become like handwriting: there's no right way or wrong way to do it. We're all just wired differently. It's also worth nothing that, when you meet someone, you never bother to ask if he's right- or left- handed. After all: Does it really matter to anyone other than the person holding the pen?" Beautiful. *cross-posted from my blog the quiet voice.

Michael Lewis, Salomon Brothers'daki yetenekli yazımı, sanat tarihi derecesi ve esrarengiz başarısı ile ibadet kesim dünyasının eşsiz bir görünümünü getiriyor. Nihayetinde 1980'lerde bir Salomon hikayesi ve 1980'lerde adil bir tahvil piyasası tarihi. Ayrıca, ibankasyonun ne olduğu hakkında biraz bilgi için mükemmel bir astar - saçmalık seviyeleri biraz şok edici. Hikayenin akışını sağlayan bazı kişisel fıkralar. Aslında Moneyball'ı biraz daha takdir etmemi sağlıyor. Kitabın herkese nasıl çekici gelmeyeceğini görebiliyorum, ama seninle yeterince uzun konuşacak olsaydım, bahse girerim, onun esasını ikna edebilirdim.
