Interesting and compelling, but slow at times. Overall, I liked it.

Time travel, spells, werewolves, corporate jackals, murder, intrigue and many more in this majestic novel. One of the best out there, better than most of those so called classics. Everyone should read it twice. At least...

Give this book a chance. The first quarter, or so, made for uncomfortable reading. Loss of a child, marital strife, career problems. Yuck. But Box gradually ramps up the intrigue, and the story finds it's legs. The all-powerful bad guy has a prominent place in Box's stories that strains credulity at times, but it's always a human scale power.

A friend of mine has been after me to read this for a couple of years. Finally picked it up over the weekend and am finding it an amazing read. I look forward to it at the end of the day. WOW. Old Karen was right. SO well written, such an impact. I find myself wanting to ask Ann-Marie MacDonald, who are you and how did you come to write something this rich?
Disappointing given the accolades. The pieces were there, a small town college girl hired by a couple as a nanny to a yet to be adopted biracial child, the mysterious boyfriend who turns out to be a terrorist?, the unspoken secret of the couple, etc. But it comes off in a meandering way, with lots of self-indulgent dialogue/narrative. Kept hoping it would improve. It didn't.

This is a well researched historical fiction set in early 18th century London. The protagonist, Benjamin Weaver, a recently retired Jewish pugilist has a new career, “thief catcher”. He becomes involved in an investigation of the deaths of two men, one of whom is his father, leading him into the murky world of English stock trading and the many sorts of con-men that populate it. Weaver finds that his newest investigation requires different tactics than the combination of physical prowess and force of will that he had previously used, as described on pg. 162, “If you know nothing with certainty, but you guess reasonably, acting upon those guesses offers the maximum chance of learning who did this with the minimal amount of failure. Not acting offers no chance of discovery.” A satisfying book that successfully transports the reader three centuries back in time and provides an interesting story line as well. I will look for more from this author.
This is a series of beautiful watercolors and short text blurbs, created by a woman who lived in Japan for a year. It's not a travelogue, but rather tiny portraits of random things that capture what it's like to live in Japan. This is a book written by a person who knows what Japan is like for the long-term ex-pat, but who doesn't get trapped by the tendency to define the country with all the usual cliches. Living in Japan for an extended period of time is so much more down-to-earth than treatises on Eastern values and Japanese aesthetics, and it's so much more than raving about how polite and honor-bound everyone is. It's about red backpacks on the neighborhood 3rd grade girls, and hydrangea, and maple leaf-shaped sweets. It's about living inside a community, and observing it from the outside, at the same time. This book is exactly the sort of thing that I would have written, if I could. I absolutely love it. Let me know if you want to borrow it.
I'm lost as to what the appeal of this book is. It doesn't even have a plot.
Despite the controversy over this book, I don't think the Chinese parenting method is insane, but I do think Amy Chua is. She seems to have anger issues that have nothing to do with her parenting style. I also think this memoir was a bit premature. I don't believe that a child, and therefore a parenting style, can be deemed successful when the child is only 15 or 18. The true test will be to see how these girls feel about their mother once they have moved out of her house.

Sinopsis Meg, de diecisiete años, ha estado en desacuerdo con su padre toda su vida, y esta vez se ha ido y ha hecho algo tan escandaloso que ha perdido toda esperanza: fue arrestada. Solo su suerte, su "policía", tiene una lección que enseñarle. Él se asegura de que Meg y sus intrusos asociados pasen cada semana noches, durante las vacaciones de primavera, con uno de los servicios de emergencia que su pequeño escape perturbó. ¿Adivina qué? Meg consigue la "policía", o más bien el Oficial Después, el oficial que la arrestó en alto, borracho y antes del sexo en un puente ferroviario fuera de los límites, en primer lugar. Una semana con John After le abrirá los ojos y, en última instancia, hará que se enfrente a las consecuencias de su comportamiento pasado y la dirección insalubre y solitaria en la que se dirige su vida. Por supuesto, la forma irritante y sexy que logra raspar debajo de su piel y chamuscarla No impide este proceso, aunque sí la lleva a empujarlos a ambos al límite ... ¿Qué tan difícil es romper a un policía? ¿Y ella quiere romperlo después de todo? Especialmente cuando sentarse y hornear pastel parece mucho más atractivo. Mi crítica No he leído nada de Jennifer Echols antes, excepto "The Boys Next Door", que estaba bien pero no era "contundente". Esta novela es definitivamente "impactante", tiene actitud. Me encantó el personaje de Meg, incluso si ella no es realmente como yo, bueno, no en el campo de la experiencia de vida. El autoanálisis de Meg y su eventual "crecimiento" fueron todos creíbles y crudos, me hicieron sentir una verdad superficial, y me encanta el libro por eso. Creo que tiene algunas cosas que valen la pena decir. Las escenas en esta novela y la forma en que fueron retratadas fueron muy frescas. La novela me hizo sonreír. Es un cambio de página: me quedé despierto bastante tarde durante la primera mitad y regresé al día siguiente. Para una lectura de verano iluminada por chicas, está en la lista, y aún mejor puedo decir que está hábilmente escrita. No me hizo reír a carcajadas o llorar, no fue tan bueno como podría haber sido, pero fue BUENO. Estaba completamente comprometido y Meg y John hicieron una combinación interesante de "alta tensión": la escritura de Jennifer es acertada (¡y soñadora!). Recomendaré este libro a mis amigos. Sentí que la novela tuvo un final bastante abrupto, aunque fue "cuento de hadas" y optimista. Veredicto personal ¡Espero una secuela y estaré pendiente de todo lo nuevo publicado por Jennifer en el futuro!
