An intimate look at one of today's most prolific writers.
Fun idea that didn't quite keep up with the hype.
They weren't bad but I felt like they were just too short. I like her older books personally.
Fantastic!! Loved the fake religion and the corage of the two sisters---great girl power. Wished it could go on forever. :D

My first John Green book. It's quite something isn't it? I'm a little fond of it I must admit. There's no denying it. Not only because I connected with it, but perhaps also because deep inside I know it will be his best work, ever. I know that's a big statement to make, and completely unfair but I'll be sticking by it until I prove myself wrong. At the time I had no idea who the author was. I was also a little disappointed by the slow pace right at the beginning, but boy am I glad that I stuck with it. In no time at all the pace picked up like crazy and I couldn't get enough. We are presented with dear Miles. Not the most good looking or confident of boys, but determined he is. Determined for a change of scenery which he has chosen in the shape of a boarding school. It's there that he meets - you know who - LOOKING FOR ALASKA is many things. It's realistic - perhaps it's biggest asset. However, apart from his intriguing obsession with last words, you will find yourself charmed by the humour, the awkwardness that is our MC. Guys. There is depth. And then, of course, there is Alaska who is the greatest mystery of all. I did not see the ending coming and to be frank, it kind of blew me away. I did not expect it, I did not want it, and after I had turned the final page I lay there for god knows how long deep in thought. Thinking. Just thinking about it. The what if's, the what should, and should not have happened. It was agony. Wondering and assuming what happened kept niggling at me and I hated that we were left with no real answer. That the ending, in a way, was so abrupt and depressing. But. It was a fantastic ending, thought - provoking and twisted, but fantastic. Shall I tell you a little secret? * whispers* This is the only John Green book I have read. I suppose after reading LOOKING FOR ALASKA I'm afraid of being let down. Purely because I'm more than sure none of his other books can match it, the reviews say as much, and I'm a trust - those -reviews kind of girl. So, since I still have some unfinished business with Alaska, I think I'll hold on to her for just a little bit longer. You don't want to miss out on this beauty. Trust me.

Our genes and the promoters that switch them are what determine many of our decisions and physical outcomes. The dominant theme of Ridley's book is that the human genome is not simply a blueprint that will determine what an animal ends up physically, but rather, a flexible entity that also affects the processes of daily life and choices. He argues that environment also plays a role, and the nature v. nurture debate is a ridiculous one, once one sees this. When one studies the effects of genes, promoters, proteins, neurons, it is hard to give dignity to a nature/nurture debate. A gene can be affected by its environment adding another layer to the outcome of an expressed gene. Ridley explains how propogating nerve cells are sensitive to the environment - allowing a switching off/on effect that determines the outcome of that cell or many outcomes. However, it is not a linear effect, but rather a circular one, with environment and heredity playing a role. This makes for a complicated understanding of the processes of the animal body and the brain. I thought it was especially interesting that once again the environment, in the development of children, which has the greatest effect on the outcomes of children is not the household or the parents. I've read this many times before and this idea is well explained in Steven Pinker's The Blank Slate, which offers explanations of how children's environments are their peers - not their parents. It must be then, that in situations where it seems their parents have a huge impact, that in fact, the parents have merely chosen to spend time with other parents just like them, whose children probably have the same values. In societies that are homogenous, it's expected that it will appear that the parents have a huge impact but it's probably the peers that are affecting other children's behavior. That is really a side note, however. Ridley's book is really about the agility of a gene and how there is a complex number of things affecting that gene at different times, and how it will respond differently and sometimes numerously. One cause is not one effect. One cause can be many effects.

Joan Crawford like many stars of her day had a carefully crafted image. I don't doubt much of this book, especially while reading "Not The Girl Nextdoor". What amazed me the most about this book was that Christina still came across as loving her mother very much even after enduring horrific abuse. Most children who are abused still love their parents which is something that puzzles me. I can understand the anger and outrage Joan's public felt after this unflattering portrayl was released, Joan loved her fans and they in return adored her, so shattering that saintly image must have been devastating. What I found most convincing was when Christina told of her mother's lesbian leanings. This was always a rumor until a diary of Marilyn Monroe's confirmed it. I can see where Joan could be a brutal person but at times be warm and tender, this book shares both sides.
In a world where some people are graced with an ability, Katsa is bestowed with a special one. Katsa has a Grace of Killing. It was clearly shown in court one day when she was young and had accidently killed her older cousins. Now, she is feared, known by her green and blue eyes. She is under control of her uncle, Randa, King of the Middluns, has had her under his thumb for all this years. Using her to torture people that had disrespected or disobeyed the king's order. But as Katsa grows up, she realizes she hates being a monster, and wishes against it. In a mission, she meets a young man, a Lienid, a prince with a grace of combat skills. As she meets him back at the castle unexpectedly, they quickly become friends, and discovers, that he's more then he's had told to be. Together, Po and Katsa goes on a mission to solve a kidnapping, that soon transforms into a bigger and dangerous mission that will risk their lives, and others of much importance. Katsa at first reminded me a LOT like Tamora Pierce's Alanna from the Song of the LIoness Quartet. She is very stubborn and strong, always putting others before herself. At the same time, Katsa was very different from Alanna, and I just really loved her character :) I absolutely LOVED this book! I so very wish I could find a cheat and give it 6 stars! The writing was amazing, and the whole plot was just too great for words :) I hope that Kristin Cashore will be writing many more books like this. Just maybe not in the same plot line. :)
