This is one of the strongest contenders for the title of "funniest novel I ever read", it had me in stitches throughout. Doctor Rat was also pretty good, but this took the cake. And that's about all I can say about it, because it's all just a lot of complete and utter nonsense. That's what makes the book such fun.

I had the hardest time finishing this book. I don't know what it was, but it did not keep me interested. I had a hard time picturing everything that was going on, and felt that it was drug out. I kept waiting for something "big" to happen, and it never did. Katniss started to get a little crazy in this book as well. Loved the Hunger Games, Enjoyed Catching Fire, was very dissapointed in Mockingjay. I was completely exhausted after reading it. So glad to be able to move on in my life.

An incredibly good job of bringing this series to a close. And the usual good job by Rowling of drawing connections from and to the entire series.

Re-read this last weekend because I had put it in my backpack as a possible book for my students to read and ended up on a plane with nothing else to read. Much more heavy-handed than I remembered (I probably last read it when I was about 7, though), but it was amazing how much I remembered considering how bad my memory for books generally is. I think it's because it was one of the first books I read where a kid dies; that was the scene I remembered most.
** spoiler alert ** It’s summer and Emily is going to be a senior in high school in the fall. She’s a little tired of the way things have been going – her best friend Meg, who lives right across the street, has been dating this guy Rick, and whenever they go out Emily feels like a third wheel. So, when her art teacher recommends her for a summer program in the city (Philadelphia), Emily jumps at the chance. And immediately regrets it after the first few classes make her feel like an idiot. Is she really the talentless, undifferentiated suburbanite everyone thinks she is? No. But Emily isn’t sure who she is either. She decides to stick it out after she bonds with Fiona, another student. She’s wild and passionate and bright with energy and enthusiasm and embodies “artist” in a completely different manner than Emily. Her new friends and new experiences help Emily discover her gifts and her real self and she begins to blossom and to trust her own ideas (even when they’re different from others’). It doesn’t hurt, either, that her TA, Yates, seems to admire more than just her artwork. Problems arise when Emily has to integrate all of the pieces of her selves and parts of her life – new and old – into something cohesive. Can she, does she even want to keep the old stuff? And what does that mean for her friendship with Meg? Emily is basically a blank canvas when we are first introduced, but as she is exposed to new things and people, she starts to figure out who she does and doesn’t want to be. She has hidden depths and makes some startling insights (this from the girl who thought that having a Starbucks in her town somehow put it on the map). She makes a lot of mistakes, too, but is able to learn from them. Good story of self-discovery, plus art! [I’m reading all the cool arty-girl books this month…]

Brown traces the complicated co-evolution of science and democracy, and the continued conflict between expert advice and popular rule from Machiavelli through Hobbes and Rousseau, the Progressive Movement, Bruno Latour, and to the modern structure of over 35,000 federal science advisors. Brown thesis is opposed to those who want scientists to retreat politically to the role of "an honest broker." Instead, he shows that in our complex, institutionalized system of government, science acts as an "anti-politics", where an appeal to science can trump political concerns. In this environment, where scientific knowledge is so privileged, political actors will perforce learn ways to counter science, by introducing fake "controversies" or attacking the personal credibility of scientists. I believe that we today face major collective challenges, about climate change, peak oil, new diseases, and a host of other issues, and that we cannot simply randomly walk into the future and survive. Expertise will be a vital part of of our future, and if experts are to be credible, they must move out of the marbled halls of power, and appeal directly to the people. Despite it's heavy topic, Science in Democracy is written in a clear and minimally jargon filled style. This is a book that everybody should read.

Entonces, cuando estaba en el séptimo grado, la Sra. Randall (anteriormente sor Mary Randall, una ex monja) me FORZÓ esta pila de basura sobre mí y el resto de mis compañeros desprevenidos. Era un lector avanzado y era un libro relativamente corto y fácil de tragar, pero me llevó SIEMPRE LEERLO. porque fue ESO MIERDA ABURRIDO. Se trata de este estúpido mocoso de un niño cuyos padres se están divorciando (¡mamá y papá se separaron! Boo-hoo: '(¡ahora tengo miedo de por vida!) Y de alguna manera su avión se cae en el desierto de Canadá (lo que puedo admitir que es la cosa más aterradora que se me ocurre. Prefiero enfrentarme al apocalipsis zombie o una banda de violadores de asesinatos en masa que quedar atrapado en el medio de Canadá), así que el mocoso tiene que aprender a sobrevivir por su cuenta. Él tiene un hacha que su madre le dio (aunque realmente no puedo decir qué la poseyó para darle a su pobre HAMBURGO, pero ella sí lo hace). llorando y descubre cómo recoger bayas y cortar árboles. O árboles jóvenes. O algo. No sé. Todo lo que sé es que este es el peor libro de todos. UGH. Y la Sra. "Ex-Nun" Randall nos hizo ver la PELÍCULA, también, fue TORTURA.
