I really enjoyed this book. The writing was wonderful, a pulitzer prize winner. I could really relate to the immigrant experience. It was very entertaining.

4.5 stars Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us ... This novel has been categorised as young adult but I personally would classify it as Ageless. I did read a few reviews (some of them not complimentary) before buying this book & I have to say I'm glad I went with my heart on this one. It may seem inconceivable that a 9 year old German boy (his father is the Commandant of Auschwitz) can be so naive as to be utterly ignorant of Hitler & his reign of terror but I found it surprisingly easy to suspend belief & become emotionally caught up in this tale. You cannot talk at length about this book, without giving away vital information & altering a reader's experience so I will just say this is not a book you read for pleasure. Read this simple but at the same time, complex novel for its ability to move you; for the poignancy to touch you. The powerful ending of this story affected me deeply, I think I actually gasped in disbelief. This will not be a book I forget in a hurry ~ I believe it is one of those reading experiences that enriches you in some profound way.

This story was really compelling - the last hundred pages go by in a moment.

A space adventure set in the near future with a strong female protagonist. Though it is a decade olde, it includes many contemporary themes, including repercussions of the rise in conservatism and intolerance. I especially liked the idea of "evolved" humans and the nostalgic longing for raspberries. Imagine a world without them and you are in the zone in which this book takes place. Likely interesting only to science fiction fans, but a very good read for them.

The work that Patricia Heaton did on the CBS hit sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond" is truly remarkable. In her role of feisty, put-upon suburban housewife Debra Barone, she brought depth and dimension to her character with great grace, cutting humor and a wide emotional range. She was, for me, the single best thing about this terrific show. Indeed, her work in one standout episode (I believe the title is "Bad Moon Rising"), in which Debra deals with a nasty case of PMS, is some of the very best I've ever seen a sitcom actress give us...and I'm not forgetting the likes of Lucille Ball, Loretta Swit and Shelley Long when I make that statement. I hope that it was for this episode that Ms. Heaton won one of her back-to-back Emmys, in 2000 and 2001. Ms. Heaton is also, inexplicably, one of the small screen's least ballyhooed beauties, with one of the nicest smiles on TV, and her continued great work on the hit ABC show "The Middle" continues to impress. For these and other reasons, I was very interested to read what she had to say in her 2002 autobiography, "Motherhood and Hollywood: How to Get a Job Like Mine." Well, the not-so-new news is that not only does the book let us learn where Patty Heaton came from, and how she got to the high place she is at today, but that it does so with much self-deprecating humor as well. Ms. Heaton writes as if she were telling us her story and views of life over a few drinks in the backyard of her Los Angeles home. The book is chatty without being gossipy; indeed, many readers may be disappointed that more "dirt" is not dished regarding the "Raymond" show's cast and crew. Rather, the book is organized into three sections. In the first, we learn of Heaton's youth, growing up in a staunch Catholic family in a Cleveland suburb that sounds like Hooterville or Mayberry, from the author's descriptions. In part two, Patty comes to the Big Apple, and we learn of the many so-called "survival jobs"--eight years' worth of them--that Ms. Heaton endured. Finally, in part three, Heaton lands in L.A., and eventually, after her second marriage, some minor film parts and assorted TV work, nabs the role on "Raymond" for which she is best known. During the course of the book, Heaton gives us her views on modern-day education, child rearing, religion, acting awards, and stay-at-home moms. So yes, we DO get to know Ms. Heaton to a certain degree. Such topics as her first marriage and her brief drug dalliances are given the barest of mentions, and not mentioned at all are her other relationships, her production company, and her pro-life stance, which latter has set her apart in the Hollywood community. She doesn't even mention how she landed the plum role of Debra Barone! Still, it IS Patty's book, and I suppose it's her right to choose to include or exclude whatever she likes. This is hardly an in-depth autobiography (at 207 pages, how could it hope to be?); more like cherry-picked snapshots of what makes Ms. Heaton tick. To her credit, the book was written with no assistance from a ghost writer, and so Ms. Heaton should feel proud to have written a fun, lighthearted but telling book all by herself. Many of the lines in it are laff-out-loud funny. I never thought that I, a nonpracticing Jewish man who is ardently pro-choice, would ever have much to say to the proudly religious and openly pro-life Patricia Heaton if I were ever fortunate enough to meet her, but she comes across as such a fun and decent person in this book that I now think there'd be no problem. And really, how can any woman who's into "Jonny Quest" and John Carpenter's "The Thing" NOT be a fun person? That said, I must add that a close reading of the book reveals some minor problems. Ms. Heaton refers to Moses Cleveland, the founder of her hometown; that should be Moses Cleaveland. The word "shearing" is used instead of "shirring," and "phased" instead of "fazed." Officer "Tootie" of the classic "Car 54..." TV show is referenced; that should be "Toody." And for some reason, Patricia insists on peppering her book with dozens and dozens of urinary, fecal, menstrual and throw-up references. Was Patty trying to be funny with these, or to show that she could be as coarse as the best of them, or what? In any case, these minor quibbles hardly detract from what should be essential reading for all fans of this wonderful actress. So do we really learn how to get a job like hers, as the title promises? Well, I suppose that if we read between the lines, the answer is to be born with God-given good looks and considerable talent, to keep trying and struggling, and maybe, just maybe, you'll catch a break. Fortunately for all of us, Ms. Heaton got the breaks that she so well deserved. And now, perhaps we can coerce another book out of her...

This is a good book for anyone who is nervous about flying. It covers the basics of flight but also explains the normal flow and operation of a commercial airliner. It can take a unnverving experience and make it much better.

The pop-ups in this story are great (including a removable train that can be pushed up the tracks), but the story is so-so. The flaps are kind of annoying because there aren't many words per page and my four-year-old gets frustrated that I need to look under the flaps to make it through the whole story. He loves it, though, so it was a good purchase for us.

Kolayca sadece üniversite İngilizce bölümlerinin insülaritesi hakkında başka bir can sıkıcı, yarı hicivli kitap olabilirdi. Neyse ki, On Beauty veya Blue Angel'ın aksine, esprili ve zeki ve değerliydi.
