This is the story of the evolution of the Buendia family - their travels to settlement, the erection of the town, the rise and fall of the prominent family, fears and omens of incest, the military missions of the Buendia men, the heartache of the women, sex, intrigue, and mystical realism. Yellow butterflies announce ill-fated lovers; family members are tied to trees to live out the rest of their days after they lose their minds; fortunes are buried under beds but can only be seen by she who was meant to find it. The story of the Buendia family has already been written in an indecipherable language and various characters try without success to read it throughout the book. This is not a book you can read fast or with which you can pay partial attention. It is, however, a story that will make you hold your breath and that will stay with you long after you are finished.

It was an elegantly written book. The language was wonderful and it really drew me in. I would classify the book in four sections by where Jane lived: Gateshead, Lowood, Thornfield, and Moor House. The story starts at Gateshead where she was being raised by her Aunt along with her cousins who constantly tormented her. She was then removed to a girls school at Lowood. She was there for eight years since she stayed on to teach after graduating as a student. She then decided to better her situation and advertised herself as a governess. She gets a reply from Alice Fairfax at Thornfield Hall. This is where she eventually meets and falls in love with Mr. Rochester, which is really the heart of the story. The story revolves around loving someone in spite of improprieties or rejecting that love because of the improprieties. First is the issue of Mr. Rochester being both older and of a class much higher than her. It is also revealed at the wedding altar no less, that Mr. Rochester is married to a lunatic wife. Jane than flees and ends up at Moor House and lives with her cousins. Apparently there was no taboo about marrying a cousin since John asks her to marry her and join him in his missionary efforts in India. She refuses because he is clearly non in love with her. It is also discovered that she is the inheritor of a small fortune from an uncle who dies leaving his estate to her. After refusing John's last efforts to persuade Jane to marry him she hears Mr. Rochester calling for her across the miles. She responds by leaving and returning to Thornfield to discover what has happened to Mr. Rochester while she has been away. What she finds is that Thornfield Hall has been burned down by the crazed wife. The wife has died from a jump from the top of the building and Mr. Rochester has become blind and has lost a hand in the tragedy. Jane Marries him and takes care of him. There seems to be an opposition set up between being a Christian which involves both austere authoritarianism from Mr. Brocklehurst at the Lowood school and unfeeling devotion in the form of her cousin John, and the rapturous feelings of love Jane experiences with Mr. Rochester. It seems that it makes Christianity look bad with Mr. Brocklehurst or unfeeling with John, which are both distortions. Other than that, I enjoyed the book for its beautiful use of language and for showing how love can triumph.

Just try to read this book without making comparisons to Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle." No spoilers, but what you've really got here is a powerful contrast to the faith in social justice that Sinclair preached. He believed that communism was the inevitable answer to the horrible oppression of turn-of-the-century workers in the United States. In "White Tiger," you've got a protagonist (Balram) who is abused and oppressed in contemporary post-Gandhian India, where "social reform" is a term used for manipulation. Balram answers the question, "What would happen if a poor man shook off the real and imagined chains that held him, and decided to shape his own fate?" The genius of this book is in the handling of great moral questions. Adiga is meticulous in crafting the mixed morality of all of the characters, so that you're forced to face the issues without the benefit of defaulting to one "good" character you can believe in. I also found real value in this book for its honest debunking of India's pop-spirituality. India has always begged the question: "If we've got the answers to all the deepest questions, then why is this country so messed up?!" Adiga begins cutting through nonsense on page one and never stops, and the book is all the more vivid for it.

My least favorite Keyes novel, mostly because it deals with grief and loss. It's still uplifting in the end, but in a much different way from the rest of her novels.

What a freaky, fun, and delightfully creepy book.

This is a wonderful book of short devotionals for girls. Each 'day' has- * One important memory verse that will hopefully help the child throughout their life. ex. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 * One short lesson to go along with the verse * A life lesson 'Timely Tip' * A bedtime prayer I'm encouraged by this book because I think it can help children begin the process of spending personal time with the Lord.

A beautiful book that quickly became one of my favorites. Set in New Mexico, it's got magical realism, an intriguing mystery, believable and enjoyable characters, history both real and imagined. I love Jane Lindskold's writing and imagination. When Mira Fenn's adoptive parents die, she returns to New Mexico, to the ornate Victorian house she grew up in and has discovered she inherited. In Mira's search to discover why her mother mysteriously vanished when she was a child, she soon realizes the house is more than just a house--and she herself is not the person she thought she was.
