I really love this book. Closest comparison (having not yet read her husband's supposed version of the same story) is Carlos Ruiz Zafon's Shadow of the Wind in that it's a book within a book and there's a mystery regarding who wrote the book and what happened to the author. There are separate threads for different characters, all compelling, that eventually intersect. I had to go back and reread sections to clarify things at the end and was really impressed by the writing.

This is a fantastic book. Wolfe approaches the topic with humor, tons of research, and even a hint of mockery. It's a funny combination, but also thoroughly fascinating. Throughout, he's always slyly asking 'What makes a hero'. From the beginning, it's fairly clear that Wolfe is more enthralled with the pilots than the astronauts. They're both risking death for country, but it's abundantly clear that the astronauts don't really DO anything. The pilots have the controls and survive by way of their own grit and metal. The astronauts of Mercury essentially sit inside a bullet and go for a ride. By the end of Mercury, they've proved that skill does, in fact, prove necessary for future space flights, but Wolfe remains wistful about the glory days of envelope pushing test pilots. He starts and ends his book on the legendary shoulders of Yeager, and seems to say that, though the world may have moved on, no amount of shifting perceptions can change the existence of true heroes. Also interesting is his point about singular combat. Since going to war with the ruskies was liable to spark off nuclear winter, both countries had to find ways to let off the steam in less explosive fashion. The space race was a competition and the astronauts were America's gladiators. It's an interesting premise that had never occurred to me. If you can't send the nukes, you have to find other ways to beat those damn reds, right? It makes me understand why things like the Miracle on Ice from the 80 Olympic games were such a big deal. It also explains why the Mercury seven were so canonized in the public eye. Kids across the country were being told by their parents that they could grow up to be astronauts...or president. These days, president is the more common idiom. Three decades of driving dilapidated shuttles has taken nearly all of the sheen off of astronauts, but Wolfe's portrayal of the glory days proves a powerful reminder of their place in history.

Để Trở Thành Cô Gái Hoàn Hảo Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Bùi Thị Thiên Thai

Difficult to say how I feel about this book. It was interesting to follow the story of this 20-something Russian-Jewish girl, Lillian, who emigrates to New York in the 1920's after her parents, husband, and young daughter are slaughtered in pogrom violence. Being female, Jewish, poor, and alone, there are few opportunities available to her, but she is determined to make it, so she become the mistress to a wealthy Jewish theater owner where she works as a seamstress, as well as his son. A relative finds her and tells her something that makes her want to make her way to Siberia. Most of the books follows Lillian's journey West, across the U.S. by train, scraping by in Seattle, walking across the Alaskan wilderness. What is most compelling about the book are the "outsiders" she meets along the way, and the way the author tells you the outcome of each person's life even after Lillian has passed through. I think that I kept reading because the characters she met were so interesting - a patchwork of stories that were typical in the U.S. in the 1920's. I also liked the frankness of the sexuality in the book, which generally was unromantic and done for survival reasons. But I never felt like I really got to know Lillian very well. Sounds odd, but it was like her "wall" never came down, even for the reader. Maybe that was done on purpose, but it frustrated me.

This book is a definte must read. The characters steals your heart. A very sweet book with very touching moments. Alot of people can relate to this story and those who can't still can't get enough of this. It has been a long time since I have cried while reading a book but I had sad tears and happy tears and I look forward to reading more of Ella's work.

I liked this one better than 'DaVinci Code'. Don't like Brown's style of 'predictable surprise' but appreciated the philosophical arguments placed in the middle of a mass-market book.

I love anything Steinbeck. Travels with Charley chronicles his journey across the country with his poodle, trying to reconnect with his readership. If you like Steinbeck, you'll enjoy this easy read.

Này Sản Phụ, Cô Làm Ơn Ăn Ít Đi Nhé Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Hà Linh

This book was making the rounds at work, and the first two people to read it had apparently widely different takes on it, so they were urging me to read and discuss. Of course I finished it on the Thursday before Easter, so I won't see them for four days. "There's some event," Kendra, the first to read, said to Leisa and me, from the lofty heights of Chapter Three (of five), "that happens on their wedding night that has lifelong repercussions. Apparently it's already happened, but I don't know what it was." She was mistaken, as it turns out; there's an obvious Untoward Event, which doesn't happen until chapter four or five, and it's hard to miss. There's another, more subtle one, however (which Kendra didn't pick up on but Leisa did and so did I), which happens before the protagonists even meet, and that revelation went a fair way to explaining the general emotional detachment of the protagonists, and the prose, to me. The review by Valerie Ryan, under 'description' above, summarizes this book beautifully, so I won't duplicate her work. I will say, though, that the prose is beautiful and a pleasure to read, and that reading this book has piqued my interest in his other works, which include Atonement.
