Another great addition to the Morganville Vampires. I found it a little slow to start, but the further you get into the book, the faster it sucks you in to the point that you just don't want to put the book down. New characters: Mr. Bishop and his two flunkies Ysandre and Francois, they make even Oliver seem like a good guy. New interesting things happen in this book, will be interesting to see if it's explained in a future book.

This is your brain (an egg). This is your brain on Murakami (an egg sprouting arms and legs and attempting to hump other eggs while doing the Electric Slide and attempting to save the world to a killer soundtrack). If you like Murakami, you'll like it, although it doesn't blend the two twisted sides of Murakami's writing as well as a book like "Norwegian Wood" or "Kafka on the Shore." In each of those novels, the reader gets transitions within chapters, and his talents for myth-telling in both the mystical and mundane worlds is woven together like two different colored pieces of yarn, fraying and blending at the end. A depressed hippy juggles his daily life - student and record-store shop employee who occasionally trolls for women with his amoral college roommate - with his intensely personal life - a boy growing into a man, learning about love, heartbreak and death. A talking cat accompanies a small boy on his adventures, the boy eating a lot of diner food and not really doing much but hanging out at the library. These are the things you get with Murakami, but they usually coexist fairly nicely, driving toward a space where fantasy and reality decide to have a nice conversation. "Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World" is aptly titled, because it really is two separate stories - the "And" is paramount - they are woven together, but more like two noodles can be woven together, but never quite mesh. Oddly, the formal structure of the book - one chapter in reality, one chapter in myth - lends itself to reading the two stories as each lending to the other, but one could almost (until the very end) read each one as independent of the other. Murakami's "reality" is far-flung and outlandish, but it obeys its own rules, and takes the reader for a nice tragic ride. The "myth" is much more prosaic and sedate, but is clearly too serene to be reality. Perhaps it is Murakami's commentary on life: truth is stranger than fiction, especially when the fiction is based on the truth is based on the fiction... The novel could be an ouroboros, but instead it is a little like the hospital symbol of a serpent wrapped about a knife. To understand this, read the book. I can't describe it any better than this. It gets a four, because it's frankly a little too self-reflexive for me - no main character should really ever say, "Stuff like this only happens in novels," as far as I'm concerned - but it is a stylistic precursor to Murakami's most famous and best work (that I've read), "Kafka on the Shore," so you get to see how Murakami's style evolves, a dualistic peek into the development of a dichotomous author.
A very thorough text which discusses why error in judgment is inevitable and the implications for social policy. Folks who are interested in cognitive psychology, economics, or statistical approaches to policy will find a lot of wisdom here. Hammond does tend to be a bit long winded at times, and so the book can require a quite a bit of motivation to get through.

Reminds me of the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. The "Bones" TV series is based on these books, but the only thing the book has in common with the TV show is the main character's name & occupation. Still, a pretty good crime/mystery novel.

Despite the criticism of others, a bear finds the perfect gift for his mouse friend. One of those books that gently helps kids learn to listen to themselves and not the criticism of others.

"The Alchemist" got me hooked from the very first page, and although the ending was not that elaborate, it was quite good. The story plot was too simple for me though.

Fast-paced legal thriller set in NC. Didn't much like the characters, though.

This was a great ending to what was a great trilogy in the Star Wars expanded universe. The most fascinating aspect of the book (and series in general) was probably the many different opinions each of the Jedi Knights had concerning the Killick Invasion; for instance, Jaina Solo was helping the Killicks against the Chiss while her twin brother, Jacen, was determined to kill the Head of the Killick Colony. Luke, Leia & Han often found themselves conflicted as to what to do, but managed to come out of it (as they normally do) without having burnt too many bridges with the many species and governments involved in the conflict. Throughout the series, I liked how the author subtly hinted at the dark path that Jacen Solo was following and the introduction of his very important "secret" he shared with Tenel Ka of the Hapes Consortium. Many of his thoughts and actions mirrored that of his grandfather, Anakin Skywalker, near the end of the Clone Wars. A misplaced sense of what is right and what is wrong, of what is true and what is false, and of what is good and what is bad. His descent into the Dark Side of the Force will almost certainly be the focus of the next series, Legacy of the Force, and should prove to be very entertaining for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars.
