WEB Dubois has an intense view of the African American experience in the 30 years after the civil war. Hard to read, but believable and worthwhile.

This book was a surprise but also a deception. You can divide it in two halves: the story of Vittorio and that of his children. If the first half was well done and revealed itself as a surprise, as I didn't think this book would caught me like it did, the second half became a disappointment. A train leaves from Salonika, in the beginning of WWII, with documents which, in the bad hands, could endanger de faith of millions and that way be used as a weapon. Such documents were so dangerous that many died to protect them. Between those victims, is the family of Victor Fontine, born Vittorio Fontini-Cristi, the only one to escape alive and who resolves to revenge his family. Not knowing about the box containing the documents so many are looking for, and in the middle of WWII, Victor does what he can to help the Allies destroying the German war machine, which is probably the most interesting part of all book, while gets some information about the train here and there. 30 years later, it's his children, the twins (or Gemini) Andrew and Adrian, the ones left to continue the search for the documents. For characters that gave the title to the book, they're poorly developed as characters, with the author making use of the cliché evil twin/good twin. And you can imagine the end. Even the secret hid in the documents leaves a bittersweet taste, but is far more interesting and poses more questions about our faith in the Church than the question from The Da Vinci Code, in my opinion.

i don't even remember, but i thought this was the best book ever when i was a sophomore in college...
I loved this book. It was a quick, easy read that also managed to make me feel as though I was stretching my brain muscles. The protagonist is far too observant, precocious and detached for his age, but the results of this characterization are so delightful that I was totally willing to let it slide. I also found the ending to be sort of a cop out and a pretty big disappointment, but I enjoyed the bulk of the book so much that I would still recommend it. But then again, this book was all about trying to capture that indescribable feeling of youth in words while simultaneously chipping it away to expose the harshness of the real world to the main character, so perhaps a shoddy ending is apropos after all.
It's a quick read. Started it yesterday while snowed in and will likely finish tonight or tomorrow depending on what is going on. About a man wrestling with his faith after the murder of his daughter. God sends him a message via a note (!) to meet him at the murder sight (the shack, way back in the woods of Oregon) and what happens from there is a very interesting look into the relationsip of God and man. I am enjoying it so far. Finished it last night (4/7). Well written and a little schmaltzy for my taste but I liked the way it explored forgiveness, God and the Trinity, our perceptions of God etc. Made me think!

A wonderful little wordless picture book/graphic novel. The illustrations are incredible and the story works so well without words. Has anyone else read it? I'm curious to know what you think happens at the end.
This one was really good, nice twist at the end which was not at all predictable! Four and a half stars!
This book makes you think about choices and how they affect our lives. What path we take and how each choice leads us down different paths. This book makes it very black and white. Good or evil. I don't feel like that is the way life really is. I believe that there are many choices that are bad, good, better and then some that are best. Something that would be best for me might be bad for someone else. I didn't agree with a lot of the ideas within the book, but I was drawn into the story.
You have to love Junie B.; she says the things that the rest of us are thinking!
One of the best graphic novels to come out of the dark period of the 80s. Frank Miller imagines a dark, dystopian future for a retired Batman. The portrayal of Superman is brilliant, the female Robin is awesome, and the story is just overall fantastic (and dark as hell). A classic for a reason.
