I'm finding this book really hard to describe with my bookshelf tags. There's a murderer on the loose making me want to call this a thriller, but Bod's life in the cemetery seems relatively safe so far despite his everyday encounters with ghosts, vampires and werewolves. I guess the only thing you need to know is that right off the bat this book is imaginative and interesting. If a book is good, it doesn't really matter how you categorize it . . . *** I definitely recommend reading this one. Very imaginative, interesting, all around good. I also like how the ending is left wide open. Some of the books I enjoy most leave more to the imagination of the reader rather than neatly tying up every aspect of the characters' lives. ***
Great book that provides a detailed account of Sen. Joe McCarthy, and if anyone wants to take a deeper look into the politics of fear and how it works, then read this book.

Adorable story about a teen girl's struggle to see the beauty in herself despite various dental and orthodontic procedures she goes through.

I really liked this book. Written so simply (you never even learn the names of the father and his son, and there aren't any long descriptions of exactly where they are), but so profound at the same time. Makes you see the good and bad in human nature (it is a bit dark in subject at times. .. as they are fighting for their survival). I will be anxious to see the movie in October.

I'd not read this one since high school and for some reason thought it was a tragedy. It wasn’t one of my favorites so I’ve never seen an adaptation or read much commentary and I guess all I could remember was that pound of flesh. And I’ll go ahead and say again that while it’s “good” it’s still not one I prefer and probably won’t pick up again for another fifteen years. Not as flowing or whimsical as "Midsummer" or "Twelfth Night" but certainly not a drudge either (can I get "The Two Gentlemen of Verona"), it somehow leaves one lacking, as if we’ve reached a happy ending under false pretenses. The trial scene is Bill at his best wordplay, as well as many of Shylock's angry rants (he's got a lot of famous quotes), and some of the sickly sweet love boasts (especially between Jessica and Lorenzo) are pretty comical (kids you know). The anti-Semitic rants are frustrating despite "the times" (you sometimes want your literary heroes to rise above such rubbish). With Shylock portrayed as crafty but mainly just red-eyed for revenge, you get the overly worn feeling of “let’s get this guy because he’s a Jew” and not because he’s a bit of a jerk (ok, more than a bit). I was left with the basic impression that this entire ordeal was just a set up for entrapment and the forced renunciation of faith is particularly eye rolling, but all in all, I think we can pretty much smile in the end (which is also, to me, rather abrupt). And there should have been more Launcelot Gobbo. That guy ruled.

i liked it. it was really scary and bloody to me, lots of dying ...felt like when she didn't have anything left for a character to contributs to the main story line, they died. the freaks/eaters/muties were super creepy to me. i like the idea and the world building was believable to me than other dystopian/post-apocolyptic books i've read.
Similar to all of the books I've read by Jodi Picoult, which is an excellent light read. She always comes up with interesting plot lines/characters. This one is kind of medical/ethical.
Sentimental, quick read. Exactly what you expect it to be.

Dan Brown is down there with Clive Cussler and Dean Koontz in terms of people whose book are at best good for numbing your brain during a four-hour airplane flight. Convenient plot twists, generic characters, and sinister conspiracies abound. I encountered the whole "Maybe if Jesus was real and he was a man and a Jew in the early days of the first millenium, maybe, just maybe, he felt like being, well, a normal Jewish man and getting married, and having relations, and maybe having kids, and hell, maybe he has some brothers and sisters like many normal people, and well, maybe this whole Bible-story Jesus is kind of like the character Uncle Sam, who we've got pictures of and allegories for and such and such and hey! whaddya know, isn't freakin' real at all." And that came in a Catholic high school. So no, the subject matter was old-news and I don't care about the avalanche of 'controversy' this 'novel' set off because goddamn! only someone who hand't bothered to ponder the possibility of Jesus' humanity in the first place, be they Christian or otherwise, would be so much as budged. Did I mention this novel was poorly written?
