Craptastic This book has a heroine so unlikable I barely made it through 50 pages. Anita is so cocky she does the dumbest things and gets herself into bad situations. There's a 8 page fight scene with wererats. That's where I decided to give up. I gave it a few more pages until Anita was cocky, then crazy, the on her knees. The writing in this book alternates between lazy bad writing and overly flowery bad writing. Not worth my time. This book is going into the book donation bin. I hope I don't get bad karma for it.

This is the sort of book I'm glad I read, but I'm glad I'm done. Many of the stories were interesting, but many were sad, even tragic endings to [famous] lives. I wonder how the causes of death in this book compare to the population at large (adjusted for time and geography).

I got on the Hunger Games bus, and I have to say - it's a really fun bus to be on. I felt this book had a lot of similar themes and tensions as Ender's Game, which is a book I really love. I love the interplay between the two tributes, and Katniss's complete and utter ignorance of her affect on the men around her. I found Peeta an interesting character, if a bit flat at this moment. I'm looking forward to reading the next two books, and learning more about the characters and the after-effects of the hunger games on the tributes.
Charles Portis' first novel, Norwood, is a rambling adventure story about a countryfied Arkansas ex-Marine, Norwood Pratt, who goes on a journey to NY to deliver two cars and find his Marine buddy who owes him money. Along the way he meets the world's second shortest midget, steals the college-educated chicken Joann and finds love on a bus with a girl named Rita Lee. It's the characters that really make this story work. There isn't much in the way of plot (and Portis intended it that way). There are interesting parallels with Portis' own life: Portis was a Marine in Korea and he lives in Arkansas. He married a midget woman and they had a chicken son (I just made that up--sorry Charles Portis). There are curious references to popular culture at the time (mid-sixties). Norwood tells Edmund (the midget) that when he goes to Hollywood he might find work in an Erskine Caldwell movie. This is Portis' way of telling an inside joke about midgets and their place in Southern Gothic fiction. Clearly, he was referencing God's Little Acre. In the story we see the early germination of some of Portis' great characters. It's almost as if these characters lived in his unconscious (or maybe conscious) mind as he travelled around with them. For example, Norwood Pratt is an early version of Ray Midge, the wifeless rambler from The Dog of the South. Grady Fring (the shifty stolen car dealer) from Norwood is a pre-cursor to Dr. Reo Symes, another shady character from The Dog of the South. Portis' work is all about characterization, and Norwood is no exception. This is a great novel, worthy of literary esteem, not because of its great storyline or beauty of language, but because of its unique voice and realistic characters. Pet chicken Joann predicts this novel will be Hollywood remade by the Coen brothers (ala True Grit remake fame). Just please keep Glen Campbell out of it.

I thought that this was a great book on the atonement. It is a great book for understanding Christ's purpose and using him in your life.

Hitchens overzealous ramblings are only redeemed by the irrefutable fact that it's all true. Unfortunately, given the title he's probably just preaching to the choir.

Excellent. Powerful. I can't believe this book is a YA pick. It gets a bit gruesome but that's what war is all about. Makes me want to know what the kid is doing today.
A tad different than what I'm use to reading, but I liked it none the less.

There was nothing that I found overtly offensive about this book (not even the relationship between thirteen-year-old Dervla and semi-ancient Corporal Stack), but I just didn't love it. Or even really like it.
