As a big fan of Sally Mann, I found this book really interesting to read. The idea of her controversial photographs was brought into a story between a dying mother and her daughter. The mother's character was a challanging one to become sympathetic to or even understand at times. However, as I was reading the novel, I became more and more interested in the challenges in which Mann and her daughters must have gone through over the years. All in all, it was a really beautiful story about the ever so complicated relationship between a mother and her daughter.

You know, I can see a need for a book like this, but I just don't like books that seem to teach kids how to be all kinds of mean.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were lovable and the ending satisfactory, and the history poignant without being gut wrenching (I'd say it's a gentle introduction to Nazi Germany.) In my opinion, the strongest part of the book is actually a small book written by one character for another. The point of that hand-written story was that words have power, and words were heavily responsible for Hitler's power over the German people. It's an incredibly strong message that young people should take note of. Words have power. This book will stay on my shelves awaiting my children are a bit older so they can enjoy this book too.

I really enjoy lively details. There's nothing better than knowing an author has really thought about her characters and situations, and come up with some surprising and delightful detail that makes the whole reading experience fuller. Lively details, you understand -- pointless details are a nightmare to read. I don't need to know that Bella ate a granola bar for breakfast. I REALLY DON'T. (Notice that I remembered the granola bar. I think this is partly because I was fervently hoping it would have significance. Like, she would spectacularly choke on her oatmeal the next day and think, "AH, I should have had a granola bar like yesterday!") "Show, don't tell" is not the be-all-and-end-all of writing. There's a little thing called summary narrative. It's beautiful; it facilitates plot progression without having to follow your narrator through 24-fucking-hours of a day... and "watch" as she eats a fucking granola bar for breakfast. I've seen this novel accused of Mary Sue-ism and um, yeah, any character named Isabella Swan seems destined to be a Mary Sue. But honestly, I wouldn't begrudge a semi-autobiographical story if it actually had any of the realism of autobiography. All the high school/teenage stuff honestly made me boggle. Because... that's not what high school is like! That's not what being seventeen is like! Twilight reads like... well, it reads like a thirtysomething who has no recollection of being 17. Bella has all the emotional maturity of a 32-year-old and that's just not remotely believable. Meyer is not a bad writer. She has the ability to string words together. Unfortunately, she lacks any kind of flair. There was no original description; no truly evocative language. Twilight reads like Meyer has read a lot of mediocre novels and regurgitated the same kind of language onto the page. There is just nothing exciting to the language. The dialogue is awful: not only uninspiring and lacking in wit, but... it's all the same! There's no difference in speech patterns to the characters; no awareness of personal tics. The characterization is wafer-thin (see above, re: Mary Sue). The plotting is terrible: the novel trundles along at a slow pace for 250 pages and then Meyer seems to suddenly realize she needs a climax and the gears shift abruptly and the reader is caught up in a series of ridiculous contrivances that set up Meyer's final set-piece (which, by the way, I saw coming a mile away). This is such a profoundly antifeminist novel. And it's funny, because I think Meyer has no idea that it's antifeminist. I mean, she has a female heroine! A heroine who reads Austen and writes essays about misogyny in Shakespeare! Surely she's kicking butt for all womankind. Um... no. She cooks, she cleans, she looks after the man in her life! She needs male characters to protect her from the big, bad, scary world! She falls headfirst into a disturbingly dysfunctional relationship with a man 90 years her senior without the slightest amount of worry! Seriously. Bella/Edward. What's that all about? I don't get the attraction. He has her in his thrall. She is, let me quote, "unconditionally and irrevocably" in love with him -- and after, like, a week. o__O She's consumed by him; she's willing to sacrifice her life for him, and that's... romantic? I just think it's a bit sick, really. You know what I find romantic? Human warmth. Not sweeping, dramatic statements of everlasting and overarching love. Little, sweet moments of connection that ring true. That's something Twilight's apparently epic love story is sorely lacking in. (Did I say Bella has the emotional maturity of a 32-year-old? Well, except when it comes to Edward. There she has the emotional maturity of a dumb dog.)
I won this and loved the cover. I was swept along going through this author's story about her life. No doubt it was not the optimum relationship with her parents. However, I also felt the story was whitewashed. While I did like that the author could find the silver lining in small joys in her life, it seemed a bit unrealstic that this girl wouldn't have had more anger, frustration, and that would show in the story. I don't know if she was being careful to tell the story and protect those involved but it made the book feel a bit flat and trite. What I really liked was the way things were described. It put me there with her. And I loved the the support of the sisters throughout the story and the joy that in the end they are flourished and triumphed over their childhood.
Holmes was an engrossing character as always. It was sheer pleasure to read the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I am now dying to get my hands on the copy of the complete works that it at home in the country. The only places where I could say I was disappointed was when I figured out things before Watson did but even so the book was lovely.

I loved this book. It's a respectful and challenging discussion between an atheist and theologian about God and morality. I think a lot of people rated the book so poorly because neither author wins the discussion and there is no definitive ending. I loved that. Plus, as someone who likes debate and theology but also lacks patience for them, this was easy to follow.
Argh. Long, redundant, treats readers like they can't follow the story by reiterating details, can't seem to find direction for the plot. Glad to get through it.
