I'll start this by saying that this is one of the very few books I've ever stopped reading. Rand's intention to bludgeon me over the head with her ideas let me feel no guilt in letting it collect dust on the shelf. Sorry to all you fans out there. Humanity isn't nearly as simple as Rand shows it.

I swear I remember there being subject-verb disagreement. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I'm also not the richest person in the UK.

This book is a must read for any fan of honest journalism or of Anderson Cooper. It fascinating to learn about all of the different places, people, and stories Anderson has covered in his relatively short career. His desire to be in the action while it's happening, his compassion for others, and his honesty is clearly what earned him a prime time slot on CNN, which has since turned to gold. The tragedies Cooper experienced in his personal life involving his only male role models (his father dying of a heart attack when Anderson was a boy & his brother's sudden suicide) have shaped who Anderson Cooper is as an adult. A successful, independent, and private person who can't ever sit still for too long, afraid that the same demons that destroyed his brother might overcome him as well. The book is a short and easy read and left me wanting to know more about what makes Anderson Cooper tick. I can't wait for the next one.

Excellent. Written by Reagan's OMB director and one of the guys who came up with supply side economics.
Too much action. No character. Which is disappointint because the premise and the world is so promising. Yes, I like battles with ghosts and big bads and crap, but I need to CARE about the characters.
Prelim review: As far as erotic novellas go, this one went farther to give substance to the characters and situation. It felt drawn out however. Not because the author didn't flow the narrative naturally or added undue tension. Between Clive's mental angst because he loves having sex with Kate, and is worried over the fact he's told everyone but her the truth of his life and Kate's determined 'woe as me I better enjoy this mind-numbing pleasure as long as possible' mental chastisements...it was a little too much. Kate alternately would be thrilled that Clive so obviously wants her, often and then ruin it by silently marveling that 'a man like him' would want a girl like her. Clive would ruin a perfectly good moment of 'damn she's the woman for me' with his remorseful I shouldn't have lied about being an escort. Full review to be posted

My young neighbor asked me to read this so she could talk to someone about it - thought I'd better hurry since she is babysitting tomorrow. Not the best time for a 400 page book, but how could I say no since she loved it so much? Horror-fantasy? Coming of age in a proper London boarding school, yet with magical elements and frightening antagonists... I'm up for the next in the series.
"The rocks are broken into sand, and each grain… eventually… is broken down further. And as each grief crashes into us, we are broken too. We are rendered down and broken apart. Maybe some scientist could determine our ages by the size and number of pieces into which we’ve been broken? Maybe she could look at our pieces and measure the weight in impact of every grief and joy and agony. Maybe." This book came very highly recommended to me by several of my pals on Goodreads. It took me a while to get my hands on a copy; it seemed that every bookstore I ventured into was out of stock. And now I see why. "Jessica Z." is a story that grips you from the very first page. I read the entire book in less than 24 hours. It was completely different than I expected it to be. There is quite a variation of flavors in this novel: love, suspicion, betrayal, paranoia, understanding, secrets, comfort and realization (to name a few). The story is very modern and unassuming - the reader is taken through various stages of each of Jessica's relationships and comes to care about every single character in the tale; even the seemingly insignificant ones. I am not one to summarize the story in my reviews, for fear of revealing too much and ruining the experience of the book for a would-be reader. Because of this, it is hard to write a conclusive review on "Jessica Z." There is so much going on here! Read it - you will not be disappointed. What I took from this book was a gentle reminder of the fact that life, while impermanent, is definitely what you make of it. Silly every day things that may seem mundane at times can actually be missed when they are gone. There is something to be said about the contentment of daily life; while every thing you do may not seem to be making you supremely happy, the little things pile up into something much more. There is a wholeness achieved by daily living, by the things we take for granted. Morning coffee, taking the long way home because we feel like it, a piece of chocolate after dinner... these tiny things that make us feel oh so good. Something big doesn't have to happen to us every day in order to feel content. What happened to being happy because we choose to be happy? People are too wrapped up in competition with each other: bigger houses, nicer cars... and for what? Competition is toxic. I have never really understood it and have never been a competitive person. I worry about myself and loved ones. I do what I need to do in order to make myself happy. And I do it every day, even if I need to remind myself at times.
I thought this book was pretty cool. First of all, it's teen sci-fi with a conscience that isn't terribly preachy. That alone makes it a find. The other excellent thing about this book is that Anderson created a future that's both really crazy and not too crazy, i.e. I was impressed by how real his imagined world seemed in light of the fact that it was also entertaining. If you'll excuse me, I have to get mal now. I'm feeling so null.
