I'm so glad this series is finally over. This book WAS one of the better ones but I can't believe I hung out long enough to finish the whole thing. It wasn't horrible but DEFINITELY better things out there to read :/

so this is a book i was assigned to read for a class i didn't like much. i read fifty or so pages of it and put it away. for some reason i picked it up and went at it again. it's a great story that includes several great histories. if you're into feminism and subculture check it out.

Best thriller I've ever read. And I used to read a lot of them!
This book is pretty sad, actually. But, that's how I like it lol. Anyway, great story, very intriguing, although I would have liked more satisfaction from the ending.

Pym is a favorite drug. Every few years I go on a bender and re-read a bunch of her books. This one I picked up after reading One Fine Day by Mollie Panter-Downes. It was not One Fine Book, but reminded me of Pym in the setting and the cast--so I had to get the taste of it out of my brain with the real Pym. Success. Never was there a lighter, defter touch than Pym's. She was a master of dark, gentle, comic irony. Her writing looks simple--but it isn't. Why aren't there movies of her books?

Was going to be a 3 until the ending. There were simply too many added twists for the book to read in a coherent fashion, in my opinion.

It's hard to find a good book on prayer these days. Jeremiah wrote a gem, and this causes you to dig deep into and examine how your own prayer life is doing. It did that for me. It's a moving book that is not filled with mechanical how-to's, but gave me a vision for prayer and how I can take it to the next level. Jeremiah goes into detail, line by line, about the Lord's prayer. Powerful. Then he examines Jesus' prayer in John 17 and opens that up. In the end, he explains how we can start a journal that gives us a history of God at work in our lives. It's a book on prayer, but so much deeper. I started it over the day I finished it. There is so much I need to absorb and apply to my life.

This is a fascinating crime story. A criminal known as much for his cowardice as for his talent and intelligence somehow lets himself get involved in a really messy heist that goes bad...and for the first time, he can't run away. The most interesting element of the story to me revolves around why our hero is known as a coward: he doesn't generally carry weapons, if something goes wrong he runs from the scene immediately, he always has a back-up plan to get himself out of any sticky situations. And that is what has caused his fellow hustlers and theives to label him a coward. In the end, though, he reveals that his so-called cowardice has a rather unexpected reason (as he tears to pieces everyone who caused the hell of the last several days, including himself). There are some touchy-feely moments with him and a dead buddy's wife (and her daughter), a bartender friend, a heroin junkie with Alzheimer's who raised him after his dad went to prison...but mostly, the story itself is fascinating and gripping and the art is BEAUTIFUL.

I usually really like Dennis Lehane's writing. Not in this case, maybe because I saw the big "twist" coming almost from the beginning of the book. Or because I got so bogged down(and bored) in what was supposed to be a suspenseful story that I had to put the book aside several times. That's no what usually happens when I read Lehane. I'll have to write this off as an isolated incident.

I love David Cross' bit on "Shut Up You Fucking Baby" where he talks about the woman who works at New York, New York Casino in Vegas who was overly devastated on 9/11 because she works just down the street from the fake world trade center. "That could've been me not me!" She cried. There are a lot of people who weren't really affected by 9/11 and despite the vow of their bumper stickers to "never forget" quickly did. They also love to talk about where they were and what they were doing and how they know someone who knows someone who lived in New York/worked at the World Trade Center. Those people, for the most part, are the people I've talked about 9/11 with. I wasn't there. Yes, I remember where I was. Yes, it was insane. But I was safe and sound in dumb ol' Dallas, TX and so like most people who were nowhere near Manhattan on that day I went to work. Time did not stand still where I was. Maybe this is why I can't get enough of hearing people who were actually there talk about their experience. Which is why I bought this book. This poor young women was newly wed, newly pregnant and on September 11th newly widowed. "Wow!" I thought. "This is gonna be good. I may even cry!" Wrong. In Torres' defense, maybe she wasn't trying to make anyone cry. Maybe her goal was to talk about how she met her husband (at a bar, how romantic!), wasn't really sure she should have even married him, got annoyed at all the attention she received as a pregnant 9/11 widow, and then bitch about how hard it was to deal with inept grief counselors and governmental agencies put in place to disperse funds to survivors and their family members. Aside from not really liking Allison, her story was all over the fucking place. To me it felt as though she had taken a bunch of notes in preparation for the book, which is more of a short story, and then not knowing how to put them all together cohesively she just decided to shit them out in no particular order. Just so I don't sound completely heartless before this review ends, I will say that there were parts that were really insightful, and tragic, and moving. But if this book hadn't been in the form of a graphic novel and wasn't so full of kick-ass artwork, I'd never have finished it.
