This story takes the reader through an imaginative quest and world. There was also a reason the end of the movie differs from the book. Still, it is a quick read with a happy ending.

I'd heard about this book from the barefoot runner folks I know, and it's been on my to-read list forever. Since I'm running my first marathon in two weeks, I finally made it a priority to read. I would highly recommend this if you're running your first long race. (Well, this book or ANY books about ultrarunning.) Since these types of books talk about 50-100 + mile long races, it's makes the mental hurdle of running 26.2 miles really easy to clear. And in long distance running, it's more mental than anything else as long as you're in good shape. I was sick all this last week and completely out of the gym and no running. But I thought, "Seriously - my race is only 26.2 miles. I don't see any reason to be concerned." On the other hand, if you hang out with people who think running ten miles is the hardest feat in the world to accomplish (and don't get me wrong, ten miles can be really hard), you'll get nervous and think 26 miles will kill you. It's all relative. Hanging out with ultra runners makes marathon running sound like a warm up run. There are two major parts to the book - one is the story of the author going into Mexico and meeting the Tarahumara Indians, a tribe who are excellent runners and regularly have huge, crazy hard races. He is part of a 50 mile race with them and some other elite American ultrarunners. The other focus is on the problems that modern day running shoes have caused us. Basically, the running shoe companies have added so much cushioning, support, gels, balance correction, blah blah blah that our feet are not responding to the ground the way they are meant to. For example, we're always told that pronating and supinating is a problem (where our ankles roll in or out), but the fact is that's the way our bodies were designed to handle impact. (It always did sound fishy to me when the shoe store people told me that 80% of people have a problem that needs to be fixed with a special type of shoe - were we really made that faulty?) Anyway, instead of letting our feet roll whichever direction they were designed to roll, we put fancy running shoes on to correct this "problem", and we end up with knee/hip/ankle pain because our natural shock absorbers are inhibited. That's a teeny portion of what the barefoot people say running shoes have done. And I have to say, they make a very convincing argument. I even went to the shoe store and tried on the five finger toe minimalist shoes and jogged around the back of the store with them on. They weren't bad, actually. I have one bone to pick with this book, though. The author and other runners took several digs at Dean Karnazes (who wrote "Ultramarathon Man", a bestseller that I really liked). He and the other ultrarunners in the book made him sound like a pitiful, inexperienced ultrarunner who got famous because he wrote a book about himself, and now everyone thinks he is the superstar of ultrarunning when he's not - they are. It reminded me of another book (Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", where he met a talented young writer who asked him for help getting her work recognized. He told her to take a class in sales, and she was insulted. She was a writer, not a salesperson. He pointed out that on his book it said, "Best selling author", not "Best writing author". There's nothing wrong with learning how to promote yourself.) Dean Karnazes wrote this totally gripping, fun book about running ultramarathons. He's run 300 miles at a time before. He's won a couple really hard races. He ran a marathon a day for 50 days. He is a good runner. He's even better at promoting the sport and telling the rest of us about how cool and hard it really is. And so to these other ultrarunners who have never gotten around to writing a book for publication and gripe that he's in the spotlight and they're not, I say this - take a sales class. He's a best selling author, not a best running author. Stop complaining about not getting enough attention. Take some pictures with your shirt off like Dean, get a website, tell us your story. Then you'll be famous like him, too. Overall, this was not my favorite book about running, but it was worth reading - especially if you're interested in barefoot running.

Damon, an african american private banker, is falling in love with Yuki, a japanese business man. He is not sure it's real love, but it is damn near to it. Yuki is so willing and involved... He really thinks he has all in hand, that he is the master of the relationship. But during a brief vacation in Canada, Yuki proves to Damon that power is not only about physic strenght, and that it's not cause Damon is bigger that he is on top: he is on top cause Yuki wants him to be in that role and Yuki is a master in the art of topping from the bottom. He can really draws Damon to do all he wants, but Damon will prove to Yuki that only with trust and love they can build something together. Yuki is a very interesting character, the "classical" cute bottom I like: not someone who gives up power cause he has no voice in it, but cause he choices to let someone else takes in hand the matter. In this relationship Damon and Yuki are very balanced: and even if tradition says that japanese men are very reserved, in this tale is Damon who plays the role of strong man of less words. A very enjoyble reading, maybe a little short but it's really a tale about a short breaktime for a couple to know each other better, so it's a right long. And as always Anne Cain's cover is gorgeous! http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/13...

I loved the blog so much that I bought the book. Guess what? I love the book too.
I always love myself some amy Lane and this time is no exception. I hadn't been able to pick up a book in a month because of work. If you know me, you know that's an eternity when I usually read a book everyday or at least every other day. So I was a lucky frog to break my month long literary abstinence with this gem. Patrick and Whiskey an unlikely but totally perfect couple. I loved Patrick, but the gypsy in me really relates to Whiskey. The thing I alway enjoy about Amy Lane books is the fact that there is always something familiar, someone to identify with. I want to write more about this book, and I will, but reading isn't the only thing I've neglected this past month, dishes and laundry call...

Tried to listen to this, tried and tried. Wanted to love it. Learned a few interesting things. Then got bored. Spent waaaayyyyy too long on something not-interesting and I couldn't bring myself to turn off my ipod and pick it up again.

The first book electrified me, the second gripped me, the third made me weep. (And gripped me, too; I read it in a single school day.) Such strong prose - especially for usually-insipid first person, present tense narrative; such intense and heart-breaking characters; and such a well-integrated world, are rare in modern YA fiction. I am not without criticism for the series, but my criticisms are on personal, rather than objective, grounds, so I will not voice them here. The series is not for everyone: a strong stomach, tolerance for well-played-out love triangles, and willingness to see beloved characters die dreadful deaths are a must for prospective readers. Yes, and I will say that there could have been more closure after multiple happenings- not that life always gives one the desired closure anyway; it's just the sort of thing readers like. Notwithstanding this- one of the best new books I've read in ages.

I read this book many years ago, and what I remember most about it, and one thing I loved about it, was how it made me think about what was most worthwhile in life and what was not. I found the book thought provoking, and it was fun to read also.

A chronicle of teenage wishful thinking that veered into the territory of soft-core pornography. Even though the writing was quite ponderous, the book lacked any real substance. I couldn't take this novel or its writer seriously.
