This has to be the worst book ever. Not because of the writing, but she didn't finish one story she started and the stories she told didn't relate to eachother until the end and left me feeling confused. I like others who reviewed this book felt that there was a great set up and a disappointing ending. Normally, I only get this feeling at a movie. She should have stuck to the Danny and Howard part of the story only. That part could have been a wonderful novel.

The premise is an intriguing one but it's stretched very thin in order to justify an entire book. I read the New Yorker article published on the same topic in anticipation of the book release and was impressed with the logical structure that Groopman applied to medical mistakes. I was hoping for a more detailed discussion of the same in the book and it failed for the most part. A good consideration of the role that uncertainty plays in physicians' decision making, but the ways in which doctors deal with that uncertain appears to vary considerably from doctor to doctor making it difficult to identify patterns in the way they think. You can't answer the question of how doctors think if doctors don't really think alike. There are some good nuggets in there, though, that might be helpful for physicians trying to avoid the pitfalls of their own thinking or a patient trying to avoid the pitfalls of their physicians thinking - but the most important ones are addressed in the New Yorker article. Contributing to my disappointment was the fact that I recognized at least one of the chapters as having a prior life as a New Yorker article and got the feeling that there were probably others. I couldn't help but feeling a little conned. However, I'm giving it 3 stars (instead of fewer) because, although I felt like the many case stories it contained were really just filler, I enjoyed reading them. Honestly, I enjoyed the whole book. I just expected a little more. Wait till they put the paperback out - I think I would have given it 4 stars if I hadn't sprung for the hardcover.

This book really discusses the necessity of high education for African Americans and counters contemporary ideas about former slaves being trained vocationally and not in the liberal arts. It is well written, passionate, and DuBois makes it clear that he believes that African Americans are capable of educated thought equal to, if not more than, that of whites. He argues that in order for blacks to participate in an integrated society they need not only strive for equal rights but also to overcome the ideals that they are less intelligent and are destined to work in the fields.

This 3rd installment of the lives of the people of Virgin River where, once again, filled with just a wee bit of mystery, a lot of love, happiness, and peace. Quite a satisfying read!
This one got me emotionally, intellectually, and viscerally. Five enchanting fairytales for adults that successfully triggered the magical feelings of childhood while surviving the scrutiny of adult wisdom and modern sensibilities. Clever, very clever, as A.S. Byatt certainly is. The jist of the djinn, the namesake story? A divorced, past-her-prime, upper middle-aged professor specializing in narratology finds herself in the possession of a genie trapped inside a beautiful “nightingale eye" glass vessel given to her by a friend in Turkey. The djinn materializes as her monstrously male, shape-shifting, intellectual match at long last. He is curious, intriguing, smart, irreverent. Predictably, he must grant her three wishes. As an expert in fairytales, Gillian must suss out this very surreal situation and expertly navigate the path, knowing full well the dangers involved in wishing. Carefully, thoughtfully, and introspectively, she wends her way into a relationship with her genie while navigating her deepest dreams and desires. They play, they plot, they learn. Cautious, wise, and tender, they find something unexpected that bends the truth between reality and fantasy. The brevity of this book was appealing, as was its physical format: 274 pages in a tidy, 4x6 hardbound package. I am prone to fall for small and pleasing pieces of art whether they be in the form of books, bars of chocolate, etc. This deckled edge beauty boasts old-school Fournier typeface with beautiful engravings opening each of the stories. Nice. In these days of screens, efficiency and speed it felt indulgent to excuse myself to bed early, burrow into velvet-covered goosedown and commence to getting lost with my little piece of art in hand… But I digress. The tales are intriguing, beginning as expected and then twisting and turning expertly into surprising and comical directions. I shamelessly confess to being rapt – I knew I had been played into falling for the fairytale but didn’t care. What is life if not believing in the unbelievable now and again? Delicious. A perfect late winter treat.
Not a bad "Hey, you're going to be a big brother" book for kids. I changed the name of the older boy (as well as the gender and name of the baby) so my son's name and he liked it. It's nothing outstanding, but a good read to reassure kids that they will indeed remain special and their family loves them just as much even after their little brother or sister arrives.
Couldn't put it down, loved the action and the thrills, but if I'm honest, I didn't really get it! Despite this, I'd highly recommend it!?
