Her name is Victoria Jurgen, but please, call her Egg. A self-professed cinephile, Egg would spend all afternoon watching her favorite movie, Terminal Earth, if she could. Things start to change for Egg when a new guy shows up at school - and unlike most of the people in L.A., he's extremely...real. What happens to someone who purposely alienates herself from her peers and family...when she realizes that there may be more to life than the big screen? This book was an excellent example of the internal battle a lot of readers may have - deciding whether to open up to someone and risk being hurt, or closing oneself off, and possibly regretting it in the future.

One of the best books have ever read. Fascinating story about what makes happiness...also a cautionary tale about the grass is greener.

As a fan of Nicholas Sparks, you might enjoy the old favorite The Bridges of Madison County. This title was also made into a movie starring Meryl Streep. If you want more romance there’s always the classic The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller. An award winning book that was garnered enough good attention to be made into a movie-with Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood, no less!

Story about Mary Mapes story on Bush's National guard duty. How she researched it, and what happened after it appeared on 60 minutes. Shows how difficult it can be to tell the truth and the price that some people pay for doing so.

I love the plethora of dystopian novels that seem to be flooding the "new releases" section of all bookstores and online book sellers. In that mass flood, I find it hard to find novels that really stand out. This book is a definite STAND OUT! We have the setting of a world gone awry, segregation based on factions and in the midst of all that a teenager just trying to find her own voice and who she really is. This is the story of Beatrice or "Tris" as she comes soon to be known, her family, her decisions and most of all how those decisions affect her world. I really feel like I can't divulge anymore without spoiling it, so I won't. I will say that it is full of heart tugging situations that lead to a lot of difficult decisions. There is unexpected romance and injustice that makes you want to scream! I found myself thinking about the plot and the characters long after I finished it. There are very few books that inspire that in me. Do yourself a favor and pick this book up asap! I can easily see this being one of the best reads of 2011.

Riveting...We read this aloud at home and I found it to be beautifully and movingly written, by turns charming and horrifying. Her articulation of the most subtle nuances of experience, the profoundly different narrative voices she assumes like an experienced character actress, and the way she fluently plays with language, show Kingsolver's love and mastery of her craft. Having been brought up by ultra-religious Christian parents myself, I found the children's and wife's experience strongly resonant and painfully authentic. I think you have to have lived it to know how accurate and insightful she is in her exposition of the nature of evangelical authoritarianism, it's effect on character, the power of rigidly imposed gender roles, the monomaniacal aspects of monotheism, the not-so-subtle and pervasive racism and sexism. I think the comparison to imperialism is smack on, and a valuable association that deserves, even needs, to be drawn, particularly in the world in which we live today, where the confluence of these two rivers of inhumanity threaten more every day to once again overflow with devastating consequences. It cannot be too boldly stated that these twin terrors have together shaped our world for the worse, anciently and modernly. As a victim and survivor of both, to greater or lesser extent, Ms. Kingsolver has a natural right to portray them, and does so authoritatively. Both have an inherent dismissivness toward the dignity and value of individuals, engendering similar resentment, hopelessness, and a sense of helplessness, in their victims. The conceit and destructiveness inherent in both clearly make them horses of the very same color. We ignore their resemblance and relationship at our peril. It's important to know that this is Kingsolver's most autobiographical novel. She's writing from personal experience, as well as an impressively large body of knowledge about Africa and it's politics. She knows these people and places like the back of her hand. Like her main characters, she carries them wherever she goes.
Sweet story. My bookbag review is here: http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/reviews/i...

Not up to the level of Atonement or Saturday.
I remember enjoying this novel, but Bernhard's characters are all so cold, so distant, its sort of hard to get close to his prose.
