Was this a good book? Yes. Did it deserve the Pulitzer? Probably not. As often happens with these things, I think Diaz really got the award bc he should have received it for his previous book, Drown.

Dalam bbrp hal mengingatkan pada buku Andrea Hirata, Sang Pemimpi dan Edensor. Dari cara bertuturnya, saya menduga Iwan adalah org yg serius, cerdas, gigih, namun sensitif, halus. Mungkin krn saudaranya perempuan semua, juga berkat kontribusi besar seorang ibu, hidupnya banyak mendapat sentuhan perempuan. Great book, Iwan... Jarang menemukan penulis pria seperti Anda.

Every American needs to read this. Then you'll understand why we should learn about Gustav Whitehead in school and NOT the Wright brothers. Neither should we learn about Betsy Ross. So yes, this book may ruin your ideas about some American heroes, but there are a lot of great "new" stories too, like a real-life George Bailey down in Texas. Plus, this book is just really funny.

I was living in Colorado when I first read about Isabella Bird's trip alone and on horseback from San Francisco to Estes Park, Colorado. For someone who was supposed to be a tender noblewoman of ill health, well, I guess she fooled everyone. Estes Park became a favorite destination of mine so that I could sit in the mountains and think on Miss Bird and Mountain Jim.

Gory and brutal but interesting. Dark epic fantasy of the sort that plays out over a half dozen books. Marked down for having too many stock characters, including an unrealistic and unpleasant kick-butt female who appears near the end of the book. Still, well done overall.

I thought the history of Oak Ridge and the Manhattan Project was a fascinating historical backdrop to this story. The forensic information and progression of radiation poisoning were critical to the story and not done to simply horrify. It gave me pause to really consider the wide spread and personal devastation of nuclear fall out. It is amazing that the human mind was able to even imagine the concept of nuclear fusion, but to make it a reality and then use it is terrifying to me. The murder mystery spanned the decades incorporating events from the past, which bore upon the actions of the current generation. Really well done, keeping my interest throughout.
This is one of those books that I would rather rate 3.5. The allusion here is to Shakespeare, and the three sisters are Rose (Rosalind), Bean, (Bianca), and Cordy (Cordelia), daughters of a Shakespeare professor at a small Ohio college, Barnwell, now all aged on either side of thirty. Rose has never left home, mostly feeling responsibility for her parents; Bean is just come home, having been found out as a thief from the company payroll, and having lived far too high and promiscuous a life; and Cordy has just come home from several years in hippie existence, now pregnant, but still the family favorite. The three names are well-chosen, and speak directly to the characters - Rose really needs to go out and spend a fun year in the forest of Arden, not being responsible for anything but her own happiness, perhaps building a life with her fiance; Bean is as vacuous and materialistic as Bianca, and needs to value herself; and Cordy does rise to the occasion to manage her aging parents, particularly her mother, whose breast cancer is bringing the family together. I liked and did not like this book. The characters are constantly quoting Shakespeare to each other, which I liked but I wish I had known more of the specific play sources. The characteristics of the sisters are described over and over - the plot should have moved on a lot sooner, as it was not necessary to recharacterize them so many times. Ultimately this book reminds me more of Little Women than anything from Shakespeare, but that may be simply because LW seems to be the ultimate story of sisters without brothers. One device that I liked a lot was the use of a "we" first person for the narrative, with we being the sisters collectively, or the other two, when describing one sister. Hard to describe, but that worked well.

Had to read in my high school history class. I remember really liking it and it fit in with my reading of A People's History of the United States by Zinn.
