This book is horribly written and the author is very, very extreme in his views. However, I don't regret reading through it. I have been feeling lately like it's very important to take control of my own and my family's health and not just blindly trust everything that medical professionals tell me. I've always thought that OTC and prescription medications are over used but necessary at times for sure. I do think there are probably a lot of "natural" cures out there that work. It's just a matter of figuring out which ones work for what. For me that process seems overwhelming.

This is not light reading, but my therapist recommended it to me enough times that I finally read it. Very enlightening re: my personality and "issues."

The very humorous life adventures of one of the most brilliant men of our time. Great for the non-science person too.

I'm part of the Transworld Book Group! This book was read and reviewed as part of the Transworld Book Challenge. Garet James, a young jewellery designer, is having a rough day. After being told her father has left them in a precarious financial situation, she wanders off her usual path home, gets caught in a rainstorm and so wanders into a strangely old-fashioned shop to ask for help. Here she is persuaded to open a mysterious silver box which just happens to have the same seal as a ring that Garet was given by her deceased mother. Although the box does strange things to her eyes, she agrees and takes it home where she lives with her father over his art gallery business. That night after she opens the box, she is awoken by burglars breaking into the gallery and shooting her father. From that point things become increasingly bizarre, she finds her mother's sudden death ten years earlier prevented her from telling Garet that her ancestors were "watchtowers" responsible for protecting the mortal world from evil and she is quickly drawn into the supernatural world of fairies and vampires where she has an important role in saving New York from despair and discord. Although I do occasionally dabble into Urban fantasy novels, and have enjoyed quite a few of them it's not my usual reading matter, but...I really enjoyed it! So, I'm not a hard core UF reader and that's possibly why it appealed to me, it seemed a little "gentler" than some of the other stuff I've read and more of a modern fairy tale. I enjoyed the literary and artistic references...it even used one of my favourite films "The Red Shoes", which I always found compelling but slightly creepy. As the main character Garet is maybe a bit underdeveloped, but what I did think was a strong positive element was that she started out as a generally, normal young woman, with a job, friends and some kind of life and remained pretty much the same throughout, whereas in other UF the female protagonist tends to be an outsider who has always felt different and is desperate to be initiated into the supernatural and then has a complete personality transplant! I liked that she struggled with her new abilities and couldn't do it all by herself and so still needed rescuing at times. It was also refreshing that she didn't suddenly become irresistible to everyone she encounters (another irritating feature in some other UF I've read), but I liked that she remained "human" despite all that she sees and experiences. Will Hughes, also seemed a bit two-dimensional, and he's a bit "vampire light" but again, I'm hoping this is just down to being the first installment. I'm not convinced about the love through the generations part of his relationship with Garet, but it didn't worry me enough to be a problem. Overall, I found it an entertaining read, I love the fairy tale aspects and will definitely look for the next in the series to see where it all goes. Sadly, some of the New York references were lost on me, but I'm sure people in the know will have understood them; it really felt throughout the book that the writers had done their homework, but didn't push it by inserting great chunks of research. I thought the confrontation towards the end was a bit of a disappointment after all the initial excitement, but the ambiguity of who is "good" and truly wants to help Garet or is just out for themselves was interesting, particularly Oberon. I enjoyed all the fey characters, especially Lol, who is a complete star, and the idea of fairies running a coffee shop and having late night radio shows appealed to my sense of the bizarre.

I got volume 1 for my birthday, the day I also happened to fall down the stairs and fuck up my ankle. Luckily, I had this book to keep me company. I read it in one sitting and when I was done, forced my boyfriend to carry me to the nearest bookstore so I could get Maus 2, which I also read in one sitting.

I cannot believe how unaware America is, as a whole, about the horrors of African civil wars. This book is a MUST read for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the world around them, or for anyone who just wants to "meet" an amazing person. This is a fictionalized autobiography of a Sudanese refugee (Valentino Achak Deng), which mainly means that the conversations are recreated and are not word for word recounts. (I am guessing that has to do with the whole James Frey debacle.) This is an amazing story, and I honestly was sad to finish it. I think about Valentino at least once a day!
Eh. That's it. Just "eh." Not a waste of my time, yet I didn't swallow it whole. I don't quite get the hype, yet I'm THRILLED that Katniss will overpower that sickening Bella, at least temporarily.
I loved this novel. I'm not big into memoires, but this was a fantastic read. Here's my blog entry on the book: http://reidsreadings.blogspot.com/201...
