I really couldn't decide on a ranking for this book 3 or 4. The premise was very interesting. (It reads like a Mitch Ablom or Last Lecture type of book.) Bruce is the father of two three year old twin girls. He discovers cancer in his leg. Should he lose his life in trying to treat the cancer, he creates a "council" of six men that have influenced him some how in his life and might be able to teach his daughters what type of man he was. These men would become his "voice" for his daughters. I enjoyed reading about the different men and why they were chosen to fill spots on his council. Bruce is a very good writer. But I felt like he filled some parts of the book with sappy little platitudes. He was trying too hard. He introduced each man chapter by chapter, separated by letters that he had written to family and friends during the course of his treatment. I'm not sure I liked the arrangement of the book though because one of the men wasn't even introduced until his cancer had already been cured. Negatives aside though, this book did make me think about my own life and mortality. It made me want to surround myself with more women that I would place in my own "council" if need be.
I would have read this in one sitting if I had had 4 or 5 consecutive hours to spend reading this. Without revealing the plot, I found the characters to be thoroughly engaging, the writing compelling, and the story heartbreaking. I will say, though, that I found the child character fairly annoying.
TDKR has been often spoken of as one of the greatest, if not the greatest of the Batman stories and of published comics in general. I would absolutely agree that there is something great about this tale. Miller was able to uncover and crystallize some of the dark truths about the Batman character and mythos in a way no one had managed to do before. To put it mildly, Batman isn't a good guy hero, he's a vengeance-fuelled vigilante who subscribes to a might makes right way of thinking. On some level everybody who was familiar with the Batman character knew these things to be true, but my guess is that most Batman fans never really took these character aspects seriously enough to appreciate what a true monster they would make Batman if they really were true. And that was the genius of Miller's TDKR, the way he made explicit to the reader the underlying sinister nature of Batman's psychology, methods, and motivations. We are shown a tortured demon underneath the mask, and we are shown where Batman's vigilante code would lead to if taken to a logical extreme - that being a fascist vision of society. All of this would be great except for one little thing - unless I'm totally misreading TDKR, Miller seems to actually be an on-board cheerleader for this fascistic Batman worldview. Every character in the book who has a problem with a society of brutal, ruthless, violent martial law is depicted as being a gutless, foolhardy, "weak-willed," limp-wristed liberal caricature. By way of contrast, every character like Batman or Commissioner Gordon who thinks people should be governed by brutal, ruthless, violence is depicted as a wise and manly hero. Miller divides the world into only two types of people: your leftie pot-smoking, hippie dupes spouting psychobabble and skirting responsibility by passing the buck, and your heroic right wing authoritarians getting things done, saving the day, winning the fight, getting their hands dirty and doing what the "weak-willed" are afraid to do, i.e., keeping society in line through a reign of fear, intimidation, violent terror gangs, etc. I think that TDKR can still be read as something brilliant if you can distance yourself from the perspectives offered in the material and see it in terms of a damning interpretation of a damned character whose ambiguous identity lies somewhere between that of hero and villain. Otherwise, if we must read TDKR as a straightforward endorsement of fascism, the whole thing collapses into just another silly, self-parodying, paranoid right wing fantasy.

Yay. As I make my way through Susan Cooper's Dark it Rising series, the books keep earning more stars. This was my favorite so far. I was glad to be reunited with characters from previous books (the whiney girl was not quite so whiney this time, but then there was the mildly offensive sea and witch characters...Maybe I should just give it a rest.) I love how neatly every story ties itself up at the end. This book is very pleasant to read at stressful times, or right before bed.

yet another twist on the origins of vampires. humans injected with nanite in Atlantis..seems far fetched doesn't it? well don't stress it does actually make sense and its all explained a hell of a lot better than I can do in my review. lissi is one of these vampires. born a vamp,things happened to make her heamahobic... that's right (I may not have spelled it right) but she has a blood phobia. vampires need blood to live and she faints at the sight of blood. these vampires take their blood from blood banks. but poor lissi is stuck doing it the traditional way...by biting mortals and wiping their minds. but this is a problem as she comes home either drunk or high. this is where Greg comes in . he is a psychiatrist specializing in phobias. kidnapped to help lissi,wrapped up like a present for her birthday. and surprisingly he doesn't mind. to find out more you will just have to read the book. I could talk about this one for ages.

Book Club Selection for September: The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright For our November selection in 2010, we read Christmas Jars by this author (see my review here), which I liked quite well. The Wednesday Letters is pretty much in the same vein as Christmas Jars, and you can read a synopsis here. I did not enjoy The Wednesday Letters as much as I enjoyed Christmas Jars. I thought it was sappy just for the sake of being sappy. (You kind of expect this more from a Christmas book, which is why it was more forgiving in Christmas Jars). But, The Wednesday Letters did tell a story of forgiveness that was extraordinary. The way the main characters were able to forgive was incredible.
