I have a very old, hardcover copy (with the dust jacket intact) that was given to me when I was sick with some childhood illness, which one, I can't remember, but this is a comfort book. I've been under stress with back pain and job related unhappiness, and this good old friend has been a nightly comfort to read, and just as funny and delightful as ever! I adore the 'silly old bear'!

I read this in one sitting. Thats how unbelievably magnetic it is. This installment of the infernal devices focuses less on the magister, and more on the personal lives of the characters. You really Learn so much more about all of them and you get a chance to watch them grow and change. I can safely say that this book is my favorite book of 2011. Absolutely beautiful.

Emma, who is just turning twelve, just doesn't fit in with kids her age. She is very tall and has bright red hair. To add to her humiliation is her last name, Freke, which is pronounced like freak. Her mother, Donatella, is a free spirit, and treats Emma as an equal rather than her daughter. Emma wishes for a family with structure and love. In fact, she desires the life of her neighbor and best friend Penelope, who is a couple years younger, adopted from Africa by two gray haired lesbian moms. When Emma questions her mother about whether she was adopted, she receives and invitation to the annual Freke Family Reunion in Wisconsin. So Emma's mom sends her to the three day reunion and Emma finally feels like she belongs but does she really? Great story about being true to who you are and the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Can 35 Million Book Buyers Be Wrong? Yes. Taking arms against Harry Potter, at this moment, is to emulate Hamlet taking arms against a sea of troubles. By opposing the sea, you won't end it. The Harry Potter epiphenomenon will go on, doubtless for some time, as J. R. R. Tolkien did, and then wane. The official newspaper of our dominant counter-culture, The New York Times, has been startled by the Potter books into establishing a new policy for its not very literate book review. Rather than crowd out the Grishams, Clancys, Crichtons, Kings, and other vastly popular prose fictions on its fiction bestseller list, the Potter volumes will now lead a separate children's list. J. K. Rowling, the chronicler of Harry Potter, thus has an unusual distinction: She has changed the policy of the policy-maker. Imaginative Vision I read new children's literature, when I can find some of any value, but had not tried Rowling until now. I have just concluded the 300 pages of the first book in the series, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," purportedly the best of the lot. Though the book is not well written, that is not in itself a crucial liability. It is much better to see the movie, "The Wizard of Oz," than to read the book upon which it was based, but even the book possessed an authentic imaginative vision. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" does not, so that one needs to look elsewhere for the book's (and its sequels') remarkable success. Such speculation should follow an account of how and why Harry Potter asks to be read. The ultimate model for Harry Potter is "Tom Brown's School Days" by Thomas Hughes, published in 1857. The book depicts the Rugby School presided over by the formidable Thomas Arnold, remembered now primarily as the father of Matthew Arnold, the Victorian critic-poet. But Hughes' book, still quite readable, was realism, not fantasy. Rowling has taken "Tom Brown's School Days" and re-seen it in the magical mirror of Tolkein. The resultant blend of a schoolboy ethos with a liberation from the constraints of reality-testing may read oddly to me, but is exactly what millions of children and their parents desire and welcome at this time. In what follows, I may at times indicate some of the inadequacies of "Harry Potter." But I will keep in mind that a host are reading it who simply will not read superior fare, such as Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows" or the "Alice" books of Lewis Carroll. Is it better that they read Rowling than not read at all? Will they advance from Rowling to more difficult pleasures? Rowling presents two Englands, mundane and magical, divided not by social classes, but by the distinction between the "perfectly normal" (mean and selfish) and the adherents of sorcery. The sorcerers indeed seem as middle-class as the Muggles, the name the witches and wizards give to the common sort, since those addicted to magic send their sons and daughters off to Hogwarts, a Rugby school where only witchcraft and wizardry are taught. Hogwarts is presided over by Albus Dumbeldore as Headmaster, he being Rowling's version of Tolkein's Gandalf. The young future sorcerers are just like any other budding Britons, only more so, sports and food being primary preoccupations. (Sex barely enters into Rowling's cosmos, at least in the first volume.) ---------------------------- The first half of a little piece I wrote from the Journal in July 2000.

Loved it! The story really picks up in this book!

Ten big stars- this is actually my second reading and it was even better this time around. The story will rip your heart out, as each character is easy to love, and the writing is superb. Death being the narrator is extremely effective in defining the seriousness and horror of war. If this is not on the list of reading for high school students, it certainly should be. It teaches history as well as being a model of A+ writing, and the story flows so well that the book can be absorbed quickly. Liesel is living in Nazi Germany under Hitler's power with her foster parents. Her love of books, even before she learns to read them, are her sustenance in a time of confusion and uncertainty. After fate lands a desperate Jew named Max under their roof, Liesel learns more about the power of words. I have read many historical novels about the years of WWII, but not many give the point of view of local Germans living in the Nazi world. This is a brilliant and powerful story told with heartfelt emotion. It belongs in every school and home. I also watched 'The Book Thief' movie...boooo. Maybe one small star at best. It is completely watered down and just too cutesy. The only positive aspects are Geoffrey Rush (Hans) and the cuteness of the actors playing Liesel and Rudy. But it sorely lacks the power of the book and glosses over the key points. What a waste of two hours.

the message was good and this may be bad to say, but the text is extremely repetetive to the point where it is annoying
I very much enjoyed the cultural aspects of this book and how it moves back and forth in time between the young "woman" and her grandparents.
