This book is amazing! I think every person even remotely considering bringing children into their lives should read this. I have bought copies for three of my pregnant friends and made them promise to read it.

POLITICS, POLITICS, POLITICS: from race in America and England, to college and university department hierarchies, class, culture, age, even good ol' Christian conservatives vs. the liberal intelligensia... at times I thought the characters bordered on archetypes, but I still couldn't put the book down. Especially funny since I find academics hilarious. . .
Classic. Revenge is a bitch. Highly recommended. It's one of those books they often make you read in high school. But pay attention, this book doesn't suck at all!

Delafield writes about the trials and tribulations of life in the country between the wars. Witty and charming (are all books by English female authors about pastoral life witty and charming?).

"Written with the blistering pace and shocking twists that only James Patterson can master, SAIL takes "Lost" and "Survivor" to a new level of terror." Um...not so much! I've never read anything by James Patterson before, and I don't think I will again. I didn't like this one at all. I picked it up at the library because I like sailing and adventure, but this one was really boring. It was like an outline of a plot - there was no indepth look at characters or details of the mystery or anything. No excitement at all. This was a decent sized book but it had a million chapers, srsly, every other paragraph was a new chapter. What's up with that? I read it in one sitting. And there was zero shock or terror. Lame!

I learned plenty from this book that I didn't know before but the organization was atrocious. I too could compile a stack of index cards about a subject, but I don't think many publishers would let me just print them in a book as is. The author made no attempt to create a narrative from his research, he just printed a disjointed hodge-podge of thoughts and impressions and somehow got away with it. A frustrating read.

If I'm going to read theory, I'm going to read Fanon. Maybe Althusser.

This is historical fiction at its finest! The narrator is only 9 years old, and he loves to go exploring! He also misses his friends when his family moves to a house right outside a Nazi concentration camp. As he sets out to explore, he keeps wondering why the people on the other side of the fence are wearing pajamas. He makes friends with a boy from the other side of the fence, and his life changes forever when he decides to go on one last adventure. The author truly writes as if he was a nine year old, and I love the beauty and simplicity of it!

Kate White’s The Sixes is an engaging, albeit predictable, thriller that attempts to piggyback on the idea of female bullies and a new wave of feminism that turns the idea of girl power on its head. Between secret societies, mysterious, escalating threats, and eventually dead people, Phoebe Hall has her hands full attempting to determining just what is occurring at Lyle College. While the idea of a female secret society is intriguing, the execution of the storyline prevents the novel from being as suspenseful and as strong as it could be. The reader will experience several issues with The Sixes, the first of which is Phoebe’s involvement in the mysteries. Why would anyone allow a celebrity biographer to snoop around a mysterious death? What makes her better able to solve the mystery than the police? If this were the beginning of a series, about a celebrity biographer/interviewer turned sleuth, the entire situation might be more plausible. Even worse, when someone starts breaking into Phoebe’s home, who does not report the incidents to the police? I can understand the need to protect the college’s reputation but at the cost of an employee’s safety and well-being? These reactions to certain scenes do not feel authentic but rather appear manufactured to add more drama. Instead, they add a sense of incredulity to the entire affair. In addition, Phoebe remains a distant heroine. Even with a third-person omniscient narrator, the reader does not get the opportunity to learn more about Phoebe’s motivations or philosophies driving her actions. There are some rather overt hints, but Ms. White only explores Phoebe’s past in fits and starts. There is an attempt to flashback, but the flashbacks are so abrupt and so without warning that the reader does not understand that they are flashbacks until several sentences into the new section. The reader never knows when the action is occurring in the present versus in the past or to which secret society to which Phoebe is referring. It makes for a disjointed story. This is one audiobook experience where the narrator almost ruins the story. Ms. Cohn has an annoying habit of continuing her accent or inflections past the dialogue and into the “he said” or “she said” sections of the novel. It is distracting to hear a description stated with the rising inflection associated with questions just because the last line of dialogue is also a question. She tends towards over-dramatization and over-the-top reactions that do not appear to fit with the scene. Her hysterical characters are just a bit too hysterical. Someone sobbing is difficult to understand. It is all just too much. Unfortunately, with a novel that is weak anyway, the poor narrator makes it rather difficult to finish. Putting aside the narrator, The Sixes is not terrible. It does keep the reader’s interest through the secret society angle and Phoebe’s own history. Unfortunately, the switches between the current situation and Phoebe’s boarding school experiences are too abrupt, disrupting the flow and any building suspense. The reader never truly gets inside Phoebe’s head, and some of her reactions to situations never quite make sense until the very end. The end result is an audiobook that one can enjoy much in the same fashion as someone enjoys watching B movies or cult classics. It is extremely predictable, somewhat campy, and yet, the reader is able to enjoy it immensely because of that.

I like this book because I am a sucker for speculative theology. I know Blake Ostler, who I also like, ripped this book a new one when he reviewed it in Sunstone, but I enjoyed reading the wild speculations of the Toscanos and I found it thought provoking, especially because it is not just the same old ideas you've heard a million times before. I was especially impacted by the chapter on bringing good out of badness when I first read this book.
