Okay, so revered writer, right? My opinion in three words: Blech, Blech, Blech! (That's me gagging).

This book was beautifully slow, like a balmy weekend morning. I lingered over passages, put it down for days at a time, went back to passages I thought were particularly striking. It's amazing to find a book like this.

First off? A huge thank you to Sophie Jordan. In a YA world filled with vampires and werewolves and angels and faeries, she managed to come up with a unique and wholly refreshing idea. If the book had completely tanked after that, I could at least give her props for that. Thankfully, the book did not tank – in fact, it surpassed my expectations and soared to the list of one of my favorites reads this year. Ever since I saw that achingly beautiful cover (yes, I know it’s bad to judge a book by its cover, but come on!), I knew I wanted to read this book. When I finally got my hands on it, I devoured it in a day. The writing is so pristine and addictive, I couldn’t stop. I usually proceed with caution when it comes to star cross’d lover tales, but this one was just too mesmerizing to stop. The pull between Jacinda and Will was like a broken power line snapping and popping with life at each encounter. It sizzled, I tell you. My only complaint is the cliffhanger ending that nearly made me regret reading Firelight in the first place. Regret because I knew I would be waiting months for the follow up, and that can be a whole different circle of hell to an addicted reader. Originally posted at The Irish Banana Review

Read this book for the second time today. And it's as good and captivating as I remember it.

Many of the themes in "Fast Food Nation" return here, particularly in the section on migrant labor: Reading it, you quickly become aware of the corner into which our economy has backed itself. As is the case with the fast-food industry, the low costs we take for granted are only possible at the expense of the workers who produce these products. The section on pot is particularly disturbing as well; among other things, it's yet another reminder of what a disaster mandatory minimum sentencing laws have created in the penal system, and what terribly thought-out political window dressing these laws are. I know you don't want to read it, but really, please do.

This was my second book after Murakami's After Dark. As much as I loved After Dark, nothing in it prepared me for the intricate structuring and brilliant writing of this complex and multi-layered novel. Kafka on The Shore involves two main characters, Kafka Tamura and Saturo Nakata who are both on quests that are separate but interrelated. 15 year old Kafka runs away from his father partially to defy him but primarily to search for his long-lost mother and sister. He ends up at a library where a mysterious woman, and what may be her living ghost haunts him. 60 year old Nakata was brain damaged by an unusual occurrence in his youth but now has the ability to talk to cats and predicts, maybe even affect, the weather. Due to a gruesome event involving someone related to Kafka, Nakata becomes involved in a journey that he doesn't understand. The novel succeeds on so many levels that it is hard to describe without giving too much away. It is a complex fantasy involving ideas of the afterlife and aspects of Shintoism. It is a psychological novel with deep Oedipal references. It is a labyrinth of alternate realities and ideas. But mostly is it an engrossing read that had me deeply identifying with the characters. There is one other person in the novel that intrigued me. Somewhat late in the story, A young truck driver named Hoshino becomes interested in Nakata and helps him out because he reminds him of his grandfather. Hoshino is the most ordinary person in the novel and that is what attracts me to him. While Kafka and Nakata are thrown in these weird circumstances, Hoshino chooses to follow this uncertain quest and at the end he is the catalyst (no pun intended) that resolves the journey. One warning: Early in the novel there is an event of animal cruelty that will repulse most and upset the squeamish. However,I can't think of any scene that is more essential to the development of the story. Deal with it and enjoy the rest of the novel.

I've been saying to people - it would be very easy to reduce the illustrations and design aspects of this novel to gimmickry, if they weren't backed up by seriously good writing. Which they are, so it ends up being something right up my alley - a great novel with interesting, quirky visual elements. There were turns of phrase that made me warm inside. The characterization of TS was wonderful - though he and his parents are the only real characters, I think, and his parents are only half-known, in the way that children know their parents. (The rest of the characters are just foils, not real people.) That makes this such an insular, and yet also a universal experience. The lack of temporal markers in Montana was curious only when they did show up - Sour Gummi Tape. Nostalgia for cowboys, for kids growing up in the open, for riding the rails, even - coming up against the real allure of McDonalds and also the length of shorts - he wants this to be timeless or boy-out-of-his-own-time? - that I questioned this made it weird. Also, the parts of his mother's journal were interesting and important, but like AS Byatt, I found myself wanting to skip it and get back to the real stuff (though I didn't, because he was far less tiresome than she is). The plot is shaky in parts, and the pacing is irregular...these are things I'm willing to chalk up to "first-time novelist". The ending doesn't quite match the beginning (I know it's highly implausible from the start, but a real-seeming situation makes its way into movie-script hijinks by the time TS arrives in Washington), but the entire trip was definitely worth it in order to know the voice of TS. The core of what's there - a boy's becoming a man, family relationships, how to get the inside of your idiosyncratic head to relate in some real way to the universal outside...in addition to the fate of "science" as a pursuit in our time - all that is good. Um, also, TS includes within his top nine movies: "Flight of the Navigator", "The Explorers", "Batteries Not Included", "Sneakers", and "Microcosmos"...(a) this guy is definitely from my era. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with next.
That's what the Tooth Fairy money was used for, every single time.

It's just what the title claims. Super info on what to feed your baby and when to do it. Ruth Yaron herself is CRAZY frugal, and likes to share her ideas(she saves her "good" dryer lint to make homemade playdough(i'm not even sure how this would work)) - not that there's anything wrong with that. I just found myself wading through her house hold tips to get to the info i was trying to find.
