This is the sequel to Gone, Baby, Gone. It is good, although not as strong as GBG. I did like finding out what happened to the characters in GBG several years after the time period in GBG.

I absoutely loved this Book! I read it while traveling in Africa which did enhance both experiences. If you are interested in Ethiopia, medicine, or just love a good family saga, this is one for you. I am looking for the author's other book.

That's it! No more books with "proper" English girls for me. I think the language annoys me more than their docile nature.
What can I say but "Wot Larks!" Dickens writes in a style that seems just as fresh and entertaining as it must have in the 19th Century. He is a master of dialogue and description, as well as the place where those two meet. If you are looking for a good film version to watch after you have read the book - try the 1981 BBC mini-series, it stays true to the language and story. The 1940's film version is also good, but deviates greatly from the story at points.
My parents brought me this book from the Kalaloch on the Olympic Peninsula. Apparently, it had been written in the lobby they had been staying at. It reads very well and has an inventive storyline. The suspense wasn't as good as in Scott Smith's The Ruins - and I, unfortunately, never got a very good investment in the main characters emotionally. Still, I found it an enjoyable read and would recommend it.
so far, so excellent. short and an easy read. i've read enough of DeLillo to be confident that i'm going to like the rest (less than half to go). It includes all the trademark wordplay, perfect choice of names, and double, triple, and quadruple entres and questions without clear cut answers. It keeps the novel moving and interesting the whole time. * Having finished the book basically right after i wrote the first part of this review i can easily say i stand by my original impression. But what is the book actually about? This is a good enough novel that i can say it doesn't even matter. Just read it if you've heard quality things about DeLillo and are curious to try one of his books.

An introduction to the theology and practice of the sacrament of Reconciliation, this book is a great read both for those who regularly avail themselves of this wonderful sacrament and for those who have not been to confession in a very long time. For the former, Randolph's work serves as a means of enriching our understanding of the sacrament and helping us to make our confessions more fruitful. For the latter, the book presents Reconciliation in a positive way, and also offers much helpful advice for how to celebrate the sacrament - both of which are very helpful, given that most people who stay away from confession do so out of fear or uncertainty as to how to confess their sins. A good book to circulate among the faithful.

absolutely beautiful writing of wartime essays from the 40s that are still relevant today.

O Japanese version of the Ghost Whisperer... The mostly stand-alone chapters in this manga are darkly amusing and provide a unique peek into Japanese death customs. There is some necro-nudity that was an odd bonus surprise on the squished bus ride home.

It has been years since Kafka touched my life. And reading this brilliant summary of the life and work of Franz Kafka brought all of those memories back to me, free of the teenage angst and paranoia that accompanied my first experiences with works like The Trail. I think there is a level on which Kafka can touch people that is really universal. Many of us at least go through a period of feeling alienated from our bodies, our families. Many of us feel spied upon, persecuted for no identifiable reason, and/or forever struggling towards a castle that may never exist. These feelings for me go hand in glove with my high school experience. Parts of this graphic novel felt like a sketch book I would have wanted to produce in those days, had I possessed one tenth the literary talent of Mr. Mairowitz or the artistic talent of Mr. Crumb. But what made this piece interesting as an adult was the historical and cultural context that it put all of Kafka's work. The quote from Kafka about not having anything in common himself has a particular appeal. However, when understood in full it is a history lesson. Kafka said: "What do I have in common with the Jews? I don't even have anything in common with myself." This is the Kafka was a cultural product of the Jewish ghettos, but who himself did little to outwardly embrace this identity. Kafka was living in the decline of once-great and increasingly collapsing muddled bureaucratic empire. The Hapsburg Empire would fall in Kafka's lifetime and a modern Czech identity would emerge in his place. I had no idea how political Kafka's choice to speak and write in German was during his lifetime. Also of great interest was the strained relationship with his father that seemed to consume Kafka's psyche. Yet I think my favorite bit of this ode to Kafka was actually the epilogue in which I came to understand how Kafka came to be such a literacy icon. What does Kafkaesque mean anyway? Why do we turn a person who lived in a place and time into a motif? Kafka was much more than a literary minor key. This piece reminds us of that.
