An exceptional book! Brilliant idea narrating the story through the eyes of a paranoid schizo. The writing style is hard to comprehend at first, but you get used to it as you read more of the book. Our high school class just finished reading it (though I was done a week before the class was because it was so good) and now we are watching the movie, and I gotta say, I'm already being disappointed. Geez! I'm never gonna watch movies based on books (that I've read) ever again!

I found out this was on Time magazine's 100 greatest novels ever. So I am giving it a shot. So far, it is kind of like reading a really long comic book, but the story already has me hooked. Warning: This is a dark portrail of society.

A patient at my work recommended this book to me. She had lots of good things to say- Said she writes like Barbara Kingsolver and you know I luv me some Barbara so I'm givin it a go. This was a nice cozy read. She writes in a way that is easy and... comfortable. So easy to just get absorbed in a well told story; although I really didn't see a Kingsolver resemblance. Maybe because the main character is a strong independent woman?? The format was fresh- It had a strong mystery theme but somehow that came off secondary to the character's attempt to reconstruct her life in a new place. There were a few unexpected twists... It definitely was not predictable which I liked a lot. Also it was set on an island in the Pacific North West which is close to my heart. I liked this one a lot and am looking forward to reading some of her other books

Intelligent, political, truthful.
I really love Orwell. I love him so much I didn't realize I loved him even after reading two of his books (1984 and Animal Farm, both early on in high school, which I'm in the process of finishing now.) A few years later, I'm a sort of very liberal, vaguely socialisty, let's-fight-back-against-the-bad-things kind of person, so from what I'd heard I thought this book would be right up my alley. And I really wasn't disappointed. But let's face it: this is Orwell. I read and read and don't really think about what I think until I suddenly realize that the novel is having a huge effect on me. And it was the same as always with this book. "Down and out", if you're wondering, is apparently a British term for down on your luck, or poor. The phrase's snappy sound to the American reader only improves the novel's careful balance between the funny and the horrifying. It follows an unnamed narrator (for some reason I see him as a Watkins or something like that) who first finds himself poor in France. He has to sell almost everything he owns, get a bunch of terrible-sounding jobs for very little pay, starve on the streets for days at a time, and somehow keep cheerful enough to go on. He has a motley crew of companions, all going through the same struggle, each with their own take and perspective on their desperate situation. When he manages to get out of Paris and back to London, where he lives, I thought he might have a shot at being happy for a while. But it turns out that his employer is gone, and he has spent all his money, and so once again he is penniless... It sounds bleak, and it is. But it's also FUNNY at parts. My favorite character was Bozo, a poverty-stricken pavement artist with an astonishingly optimistic point of view. "It don't follow that because a man's on the road, he can't think of nothing but tea and two-slices," he says. And he keeps plodding on, perfectly happy. It took me two weeks to read this book, and it wasn't quite unputdownable, but I did a lot of staring at the page in horror and a lot of laughing, and when I finished it, I did that thing where I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what to do next because the book is still crowding up my brain. And then I thought it would be forgettable. But it's not. Actually, of all the novels I've read, this might be the one that I think of most often, aside from the Harry Potter books (which pretty much summed up my childhood, so I think about them all the time) and maybe a few beloved others. Almost every day there's something that reminds me of this book. And the struggles chronicled in it still take place all over the world. It's sobering and important and needs to be fixed. My perspective has been sharpened through reading it. It's made me understand more, emphathize more, and more restless to do what I can to help. I think this should be an assigned book for everyone old enough to understand it. It's a shaping-the-future kind of book, even if it was written in 1933.
So disappointing...it lead up to such a good ending then fell flat!
Interesting book about the snap judgements we make almost without knowing it. It suggests they aren't always right but that you can train yourself to be better at it. It's really just a series of anecdotes and summary of research but very entertainingly written.
