Typical Picoult - child illness + lawsuit + family drama = a good book. The first 90% was great - wasn't thrilled with the ending. But, overall, a quick, engaging read and a glimpse into a rare childhood chronic illness.

I recommend The Age of the Earth to anyone with a strong general science background who is interested in radiometric dating methods and/or in debunking creationist arguments for a young earth. This book will be more valuable to me as a reference than it was as pleasure reading. The author presents an airtight case for the age of the Earth, ca. 4.55 billion years, citing several major lines of evidence, including Moon rocks and meteorites. His discussion is perhaps too technical for the average reader, but excellent for anyone who wishes to understand the radiometric assays in depth. I was fascinated by Dalrymple's historical accounts of previous attempts to measure the Earth's age, both scientific and religious. The central chapters—the "meat" of the evidence—drag on seriously, but I don't fault the author for this, as he clearly aims to present an ironclad argument. Some of the information is rather dated; for example, at the time of writing, geologists were still searching for the Chicxulub impact crater (the remnant of the meteor strike that may have caused the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous). I do wish he had explicitly addressed some of the creationist claims that radiometric dating isn't reliable, although from the care with which he describes how the assays are controlled for contamination and original isotopic composition, I expect that the relevant counterarguments are presented.

This was the best of Sophie Kinsella's books in my opinion. It appeals the the part of me that wishes to leave all the troubles of day to day life for something simpler and new. My only complaint is that the actual resolution of the book was quicker and less satisfying than I would have liked.

Ok, what's going on here? I'm reading another YA (Young Adult) novel. I must be insane. Or, I like to torture myself with mediocrity. Or, I'm gonna write one of these bad boys myself when I get totally sick of the "Literature Lite" that the YA genre is, and I need to know the what and how of the genre in order to not do it like it's already been done (of course, then it'd never get published as YA. Or, what's probably more the case is it's my book and it'd never get published anyway because I suck). But really, the truth is I was just on another prison lit jag and I picked up Lockdown while I was at the library (yes, I go to the library, call me a socialist), and I didn't see the "YA" tag on the cover until I was home and it was too late. And then, after the first three pages I knew. Yup, I knew I was reading YA. How did I know this? Well, it's supposed to be about prison, but there's no balls to the plot or dialogue (although there was one "fuck you" which actually made me feel better and have a little more respect for the author, Walter Dean Myers). The tension, what little there was, was intermingled with the conflict, which was lost amongst the mediocre dialogue – and the characters are all one dimensional and predictable. So yeah kids, or Young Adults, or whatever label you prefer – go read Edward Bunker's No Beast So Fierce, if you want a more authentic story that isn't homogenized. Or even try Monster Kody's autobiography if you're looking for something as bit newer and perhaps more relevant to today.
Real perspectives on being parents, choosing to have kiddos, etc. Interesting to hear all sides of the decision/lifestyle. Very...informative. Great writing.
Hooked...and on to the next!

A beautiful, intelligent novel which deserves four+ stars for its evocative, ambitious, dense prose - but it just...didn't...get its hooks into me. I admired it, was impressed by it, enjoyed it - but it didn't have that overwhelming must-read factor.

Ironically, I didn't intend to buy this book. I checked it out at work and then spilled my drink on it, so had to purchase it! The premise is a couple agrees to only buy necessesities for a year and the excerpts I read about them debating whether q-tips and wine were essentials amused me. But she alternates those anecdotes with stories of economic policies that I didn't care about. And I couldn't relate to their choices since they already get food from co-ops and were so politically minded...which let's face it, I'm not. I didn't connect and I didn't find it memorable.
I've become extremely interested in the Plain life of the Amish in recent months. Katie Lapp was born and raised Amish - or so she believes. On the eve of her wedding, Katie finds she is adopted. She was born English, which accounts for her love of music, fancy things and her longing to hum and sing along with music. The revelation throws Katie into turmoil. Who is she? Who is her mother? Many unanswered questions... When she is shunned from the life she has known for twenty two years, she takes the oppurtunity and goes to find her true self... #1 in the Heritage of Lancaster County Series.

5 yıldız verdiğim çok az kitap var ama bunu hak etti. Richard'ın hayatındaki bu tasvirden gerçekten, gerçekten keyif aldım. Kötü bir kamburun tüm Shakespeare imgesini hiç almamışken (sonuçta bir Tudor Kraliçesi için oynuyordu!) Onun hakkında bu kadar çok şey bilmiyordum. Şimdilik kendimi Tudors'ta yaktığım için mutluyum ve zamanında Güller Savaşı'na ve daha da geriye döndüm. Roman boyunca Richard için gerçekten üzüldüm. Kesinlikle doğru ve onurlu olanı yapmaya çalışan iyi bir adam gibi görünüyor. Redmore Ovası'na (daha yaygın olarak Bosworth Sahası olarak bilinir) savaşa giden parçaları okumak ve ne olacağını bilmek ve bir şekilde dilemek, tarihin değişeceğini (eğer olsaydı, soydular) Bizi Tudor hanedanı olan harika pembe dizi ve iyice tadını çıkarıyorum).
