This is my must-read book when people ask, even though I'm way behind the times. Fantastic, heartbreaking, infuriating. An epic account of life on the LES. There is so much more to this book, but I won't even try to sell you. Read it!

I just love this lady. Smith confronts banal, yet perplexing aspects of human nature, politics, race, ethnicity, and class in such a natural and amusing way. I love how she can understand so much about her characters--Jamaican, Indian, British, rich, poor, male, female--despite only being one woman with particular experiences herself. She has a knack for capturing the challenges we all face when we confront our identities, while also emphasizing the unique challenges people face based on their societal and historical realities.

This is the most tedious apocalypse ever. Despite a little bit of a slow start, I actually really enjoyed the first quarter of this. We’ve got a crazy military expedition to the jungles of Bolivia, scientists fucking shit up, and secret agent men kidnapping little girls from crazy nuns. Oh, and a mutant virus outbreak that kills everyone. Cool. It goes downhill from there. Just as the novel is picking up steam, Cronin decides to jump ahead in time to a group of colonists going about their day-to-day nearly one hundred years after the apocalypse. BOR-ING. It wouldn’t be so bad except that the whole thing is so inconsistent. The major storyline is a good one, and there are definitely some exciting parts, but these are few and far between with hundreds of pages of nothing in the middle. Cronin splits the book into so many parts that it just feels all over the place. He sure likes to use commas, too – I thought I was bad, but some of his sentences go on for about half a page. Cronin sprinkles in various epistolary bits which he probably thinks spice up the narrative, but are actually unbearably repetitive and bored me to tears. If you just spent a chapter describing things in real-time, you don’t then need to spend the next chapter describing these exact same events in italicized diary entries from the point of view of a minor character. It’s redundant. There also seemed to be very little dialogue throughout the book, and when there was dialogue Cronin threw in the worst future slang I’ve read since Feed -- and I actually liked that book. “Flyers”? Seriously? And what’s with calling babies and kids “Littles”? With a capital L? Also dumb. My biggest problem with this book has to do with the characters. There are about 500 major characters, and most of them are never given any descriptive traits or identifiers, preventing me from picturing them in my head and keeping them all straight. Every time a character was mentioned, it took me about 5 minutes to figure out, “Oh, that’s the one who is in love with that other chick whose brother killed that one dude 200 pages ago”. This seriously disrupted my reading, as you can imagine. Furthermore, none of the characters are really fleshed out due to there being so many of them. Cronin seems to have tried to make the characters “real” by making them flawed, but most of the characters are made up entirely of flaws and have no redeeming factors. The whole story is ostensibly about Amy, but we’re never even told anything about her –and not in an “oh, she is a mysterious enigma!” way, but in a “why should I even care?” way. I kept hoping this book would redeem itself in the end, but the ending sucked too. It just kind of... stopped. Actually I think there was a decent ending in there, but then Cronin kept writing for another hundred pages. Oh well. I hear this is supposed to be a trilogy, but I won’t be picking up the others.

I tend to think of the Harry Potter books as one story, rather than separate books. So this book is really the beginning of an obsession for me. I have an unhealthy attachment to Harry Potter. In a life filled with thousands of books, this story is my FAVORITE. It is my favorite for all of the reasons that everyone else adores it, for all of the reasons that it will become an enduring beloved classic. And because I will never be able to write a book this good. never.

Acerbic, scathing, hilarious, and downright musical. The ultimate tragi-comic opera in print.

That elderly people want and need to be treated as fully funtioning adults who are capable of making their own decisions; also, that when you're old it's tough enough to remember the names of your grandkids, let alone your great-grandchildren!

I am bias because I helped translate this manga with my friend Screaming Mad George, the movie effects genius. It was an early and pioneering effort by Blast Books - which I brought to their attention because the horrific yarn riveted me so!

Zell Miller tells it like it is. The Democratic party is no longer the party that FDR or HST would recognize. It is focused on both coasts where liberalism reigns. The broad middle of the country is turned off by this party now.
