I went through a Peter Singer stage when I first started uni. I love the way his mind works, so straight forward and very logical. His books have had a great effect on the way I interact with my environment. He sets an ideal that I find difficult to live up to, to be completely honest. I find utilitiarianism just that little bit too cold and logical - I find it hard to dispute his premises but don't come close to living the ethical life that he recommends.

You cannot remove this work from its context. Nemirovsky is writing about the German occupation of France while it is actually happening, and she is describing the horrors of WWII as they are occurring around her. We know that she doesn't know that what is to come, for the Jews in particular, is much worse than she can imagine. So the reader watches with breath half-held. Parts of the text are raw, and sometimes even disjointed, but she is writing this in exile, and it was published with almost no editing. Because of the context, this is more than just a novel, it is at once history, psychology, and literature. I can't praise it enough.
good book . . . loved it.
A very gripping and powerful memoir about MacDonald's experiences growing up in the Southie neighborhood of Boston in the 1970's. The neighborhood was one of the poorest in the nation and was the home of the Irish Mob and the school-bussing riots. Definitely an eye-opener!

Got the book on sale at Powerbooks and was intrigued by the title and for my love of comic books so I gave the book a try and was terribly disappointed. The chapters and the tone was not to my liking. Like reading a bad children's book (and believe me, I like reading childrens book). The very short chapters are annoying and the way the protagonist speaks in the book is also annoying and trying hard at best. It is my first Patterson book and now I am afraid to touch his other works. Worst was that I didn't bother to check and found out that the book is intended for YA audience. F.M.L.

After I saw her discuss this on Cspan I was compelled to read it. It was very convincing. She makes the point that even if she has cracked the case, a woman will never be believed or taken seriously in a case like this. I'm not sure that is a fair assessment, but maybe time will tell.

Really slow going for me at the beginning. Totally redeemed by the last few chapters.
First of all, let me clarify something: I'm giving this book 5 cheeses but, if I could I would put six or seven. That's how amazing it was. And I'm afraid I won't be able to write coherent things in this review and that the only thing you are going to keep reading in every single line is that I LOVED this book. But I promise I'm trying to take deep breaths to calm myself down. I think it's working. Now I have to put order in my head (to many things I want to say, sorry). Facts: - Since I discovered how to highlight quotes in my readers I've been doing so a lot. But with this book I didn't highlight quotes, at all, I kept highlighting paragraphs, PAGES. Really. I was completely amazed too, they are 94 highlights in total! - I started with Incarnate at 10:00pm and I went to sleep at 8:00am (after my hubby left). I had already finished the book at 6:00am but I couldn't stop myself, I needed to re-read the quotes, paragraphs and pages I had marked. - I even had a dream about the book. - I should be writing 3 reviews before this one but I had to share this book with you all. - Jodi Meadow is now in my list of Amazing-Wonderful-Incredible Authors. - Incarnate, the hardcover edition, will have a special place in my bookshelf. - I can't believe I have to wait until 2013 for the next book. That's just wrong... Proper review: Everybody was expecting Ciana to be born. That how things worked: once you died you were reborn again, over and over again. No surprises, no new souls, everybody knew that after a lifetime they would gain another one remembering everything that had happened before (and if they couldn't remember something they had the diaries they always wrote). Things had been like this for the last five thousand years. That's why when Li gave birth to a baby no one could recognize their perfect world crumbled. Menehem, Li's husband, left the city ashamed of himself and Li had to take care of Ana, the new baby, the nosoul, even if she didn't want to. And Ana always knew, thanks to Li, that her life was a mistake and that no one would ever love her. Li even assured her that she could never love because how could a nosoul feel love?! But she was wrong and Ana knew, deep down, that she loved music (she had once sneaked and listened to music. It had cost her Li's rage but it was worth it). Her favorite musician? Dossam, who could make her feel emotions she didn't even understand As soon as Ana reached eighteen she left Li behind and marched to Heart, the city that held, hopefully, all the answers she sought. But her trip to Heart almost cost her everything when sylphs cornered her: she coud die a horrible death with fire and pain with the sylphs or jump to the river and die of hypothermia. She chose hypothermia (who wouldn't?!). It was then that Sam saved her. A stranger that didn't look at her with disgust, a stranger that decided to help her get to Heart, a stranger that introduced her to new people who liked her. He shared his roof with her and always reassured her that she was a newsoul, not a nosoul. But things in Heart weren't easy for her, of course. How could they be? A lot of the population blamed her for Ciana's death and were afraid that more "nosouls" would be born and replace some of them in the process. And to make matters worst Li was back in town and the Council was considering gave Ana's custody to her again... Personal opinion: The way Jodi writes is mesmerizing, you won't be able to put the book down. The words will flow from the pages to your head and create the whole story for your eyes to see. When Ana struggled I struggled, when she discovered new things I discovered new things with her. Her feelings were one with mine and it felt incredibly good. The way Sam and Ana's relationship develops is just perfect. No rushing at all, just what she needed and what he could give her in every step they took. I valued their friendship like a treasure and I'm sure you will feel the same. The ending is just great, everything happens fast but well explained and the plot reaches the point where you feel at ease when your eyes read the last sentence. Now, as I said, the next book comes out in 2013 but if it's any consolation this book doesn't leave you in a cliffhanger that could make you cry, it leaves the story in a good point making sure that you will want to read the next one.
