Can't really get excited about this book. It was okay, but I find myself not really caring about what happens to her or who she dates. Some of the recipes look good though.

This book churned up many positive memories from long ago. I love how everyone puts Paddle back into the water (hurray for human kindness!). What I hadn't remembered and loved this time: the format, with a chapter-per-page, little sketches on one side and big lush colorful paintings on the other. It captivated all ages here.

Recommended Ages: grades 6-9 Dina has unwillingly inherited her mother's gift: the ability to elicit shamed confessions simply by looking into someone's eyes. To Dina, however, these powers are not a gift but a curse. Surrounded by fear and hostility, she longs for simple friendship. But when her mother is called to Dunark Castle to uncover the truth about a bloody triple murder, Dina must come to terms with her power--or let her mother fall prey to the vicious and revolting dragons of Dunark.

I came on this book by googling for the best fiction books about Mexico. I had read the The Quiet American a couple of years ago and this book was a constant on all the lists that I found. Greene writes in a way that is incredibly easy to read but his words are dense with meaning and this book, its meanings, and allegory will continue to bounce around in my head for a long time to come. Currently living in Mexico I thoroughly enjoyed his insights into the country, the people, and their beliefs. The protagonist's struggle between being good and immoral is incredibly relatable. Some of my favorite examples of Greene's writing are here (although the book was packed with many more quotable passages): It is one of the strange discoveries a man can make that life, however you lead it, contains moments of exhilaration; there are always comparisons which can be made with worse times: even in danger and misery the pendulum swings. (p. 59) That is why I tell you that heave in here: this is a part of heaven just as pain is a part of pleasure. Pray that you will suffer more and more and more. Never get tired of suffering. The police watching you, the soldiers gathering taxes, the beating you always get from the jefe because you are too poor to pay, smallpox and fever, hunger...that is all part of heaven - the preparation. Perhaps without them, who can tell, you wouldn't enjoy heaven so much. Heaven would not be complete. (p. 69) The world was in her heart already, like the small spot of decay in a fruit. (p. 81) One of the oddes things about the wold these days was that there were no clocks - you could go a year without hearing one strike. They went with the churches, and you were left with the grey slow dawns and the precipitate nights as the only measurements of time. (p. 100) But at the centre of his own faith there always stood the convincing mystery - that we were made in God's image. God was the parent, but He was also the policeman, the criminal, the priest, the maniac, and the judge. Something resembling God dangled from the gibbet or went into odd attitudes before the bullets in a prison yard (p. 101) Hate was just a failure of imagination. (p. 131) Hope is an instinct only the reasoning human mind can kill. (p. 141) and when we love our sin then we are damned indeed. (p. 172) A really great book that I would highly recommend.

"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." Oh, man. This book is so freaking good! (And I'll be honest: it's still hard for me not to cry like a wuss at "Stay gold...")
It took me awhile to get my brain back after reading this book. Very powerful.
Anecdotal biography of the author's mother and her competing in jingle contests in the mid-20th century. As other reviews have stated, it is reminiscent of Cheaper by the Dozen, but perhaps with a bit more dysfunction. What I especially liked was that the dysfunction was not the focal point of the story -- it was an unfortunate reality, but there is a spirit of optimism and hard work that carries the day.

It is a massive tome 550 pages long. But it gets off to a jaunty and engaging start, and has become very addictive to read. Chatwin comes through from the first page, and keeps one reading. He was a fascinating writer and a slippery, mercurial character. Having finished, I miss reading about him. One of the most engaging biographies I have read.
