Didn't expect to, but liked it very, very much.

I really enjoyed this book. It could be a little confusing at times just the way it's written, but it flowed well and was very easy to get lost in. I loved the story and couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next one!
The first third of this book concentrates on Clinton growing up in Arkansas and details his family tree and a few events in his childhood. It's well written and engaging but I wasn't particularly interested in it. Then we get to him beginning to work on political campaings in college and finally him running for Congress and getting his own career off the ground. The chapters that discuss his presidency are great. He talks about decisions and political moves he made when fighting with Newt and Dole but for the most part is gracious to them and leaves out the color commentary which I would have enjoyed (and would have probably been inappropriate. When discussing Whitewater he makes it pretty clear that Starr is a douche bag which is fun to read. He mostly avoids talking about today's politics except where he sees evidence to support statements he makes throghout the book, so it pretty much ends with 2001, just before everything got shitty.

I don't know for sure but I guess, after the success (and the upcoming Oliver Stone film based on it) of Don Winslow's brilliant SAVAGES, Simon & Schuster decided to reissue this 2009 novel in hardcover. Winslow's staccato prose grabs you by the throat and pulls you through any of his novels -- his pacing and sense of rhythmn is second to none. But even though I couldn't put this down, I felt the various elements in the book felt dated. The book is about a surfing detective, and the descriptions of the beach and surfing are gorgeous, lyrical. And the friendships among the all male surfers seem very real. But when the protagonist, Boone Daniels, a former cop now turned PI, is asked by an older surfer to look into whether or not his wife is having an affair, and is also asked by his sort-of-girlfriend, a lawyer, to help her with a case against an accused murderer, Boone's perfectly balanced life starts to fall apart. Sure, he solves the case and all the various elements of the plot, incuding insurance fraud and a Mexican drug cartel, come together quite neatly, but I felt the white supremacist angle had been done before. And while the plot didn't strike me as fresh, I thought this was terrific for its exploration of men's friendships and its depiction of the multiracial surfing culture on a now aging member of it. Winslow is always worth reading for his prose -- he's got those two paragraph chapters down (as in, THIS is how you do it, Patterson), and knows how to distill his prose to the absolute essence of the few words necessary to express himself. And he has a dry sense of humor. What's really interesting about the prose in this book is that sharp as it is, I bet, if Winslow were to rewrite it now, he'd streamline and distill it even more, he's gotten that much better with his language. And who at S & S approved the crappy new dark cover? It doesn't begin to suggest the richness of the atmosphere within.

This book changed my life and my perspective forever. Immaculee Ilibagiza has a beautiful heart that shines in her writing. This is one of the most spiritually uplifting books I have read outside scripture - akin to Corrie Ten Boom's "The Hiding Place." A powerful story - and I'm glad to know more about the history of Rwanda, after enjoying the film, "Hotel Rwanda."

Our hereos are trying to fight their way to victory. Scott Summers is finding less and less in common with his masters. Several other Marvel heroes feature and many of the characters are trying to work with what they have to create a better world, but without Professor Xavier things aren't as easy as it might seem. It's an interesting series. You would need a fairly decent knowledge of the Marvel universe to understand some of the character motivations and changes.
I read this novel in one sitting and the author's voice whispered to me in my dreams. The plot isn't perfect, but the narrative voice and powerful prose are brilliant.
Another great book by my new favorite author. I just love the insight Trigiani has into love, marriage, friendship...now motherhood. Each stage of a woman's life makes her who she is. Even though we grow and change and mature we are made up of so many little pieces that never actually leave us. We can even be redeemed and forgiven but our experiences will always live somewhere inside us. You should really give this author a try.
