A necessary connector between Parts 1 and 3, this part is probably the least interesting. But the Jack Cade segment (while terribly distorted historically) has some intriguing sociological observations.

Straight-forward and even-handed account of our 40th President. The narrative moves sprightly along (no surprise given the length of the book, covering a two-term presidency), with a balanced presentation of Reagan's accomplishments (detente with the Soviets, recovering some of the people's trust in the federal gov't, especially the White House) and his failures (Iran-Contra, the malaise of the last couple of years, economic instability). I like how Reeves characterizes Reagan's hands-off style, especially compared with his predecessors. I appreciated the emphasis on the relationships between Reagan's staffers and how they fit into the Administration's policy goals. However, I would have liked some more insight into the President as a man. The occasional slivers of insight (such as the analysis of his personality changes after being shot) were more often than not a tease, shallow and fleeting.

This is one of the handful of books I've ever bought in my entire life after reading a review in the newspaper. (The others on that short list include "The Lovely Bones," "The Secret Life of Bees," "A G-Man's Life," and a lot of Oprah-type chick stuff.) I was working for Artists Rep at the time and we were in pre-production for "Assassins," a Sondheim musical about a ragtag band of misfits made up of everyone who's ever assassinated, or tried to assassinate, a U.S. president - the same ragtag band of misfits, and then some, brought to life by Vowell in this book. Coincidentally, the book opens with Vowell at a theater festival waxing romantic about the musical "Assassins", to the horror of the conservative old couples staying at the bed and breakfast with her. She focuses on the Big Three - John Wilkes Booth (Lincoln), Leon Czolgosz (William McKinley), and Charles Guiteau (James Garfield), and all their many accomplices, friends, enemies, bemused family members, and acquaintances who add color and weirdness to their stories. Guiteau was a member of an upstate New York sex cult. Czolgosz was in love with the feminist revolutionary Emma Goldman. Booth and Lincoln's son were in love with the same woman. As Vowell travels around the country to bizarre historical landmarks, shocking and horrifying more sedate tourists with her bloodthirsty enthusiasm for gory relics, and dragging along bored friends and relatives to overwhelm them with trivia, the sheer freaky weirdness of our country's history comes vividly and crazily to life.

In Book 2, the kids of the circle fight off the pirates. The plot device with Tris's cousin is transparent from the start. And the evil pirate is shown to be a brutal slavemaster, but ultimately, his character is a cardboard cutout. And we know almost nothing new about Neko and any of the other teachers. Once the mages figure out gunpowder, the adult reader wonders why they don't make some of this stuff themselves and hurl it back at the pirates. This is a book from the kid's perspective, so the lack of depth in adults may be deliberate. Kid's just don't know. But the angst and the kid's powers captures the fantasy of Harry Potter. Recommended for young readers.

If I could give this 4.5 stars, I think that would be a more appropriate rating. I really enjoyed reading this book, but there were a few little niggles that prevent me from giving it a full 5 stars. One of the so-called 'twists' in the plot was honestly, blindingly obvious and I saw it coming well before I was half way through the novel, but apart from that the story line was good. There was also one occasion where a passage was almost repeated - a part of the storyline that had been mentioned a couple of pages before (I won't give too much away, but about a feather), was re-written within another passage, which shows slightly lacking editing skills. However, despite these imperfections, I was still able to really enjoy the novel, and will still read the second in the series.

I'm not going to put all the Kenshin volumes I've read, but suffice to say I'm owning them as they come out. Kenshin was one of my first anime series and the Rurouni was one of my first anime loves. Hahaha. Rather touching story of a wandering samurai with a violent past and a demon deep inside, who is trying to repent for his mistakes while ghosts from past return to haunt him. Way cool sword fighting abound. Classic.
this book is a stalker manual
Not usually a fan of short stories...but these were sort of neat because they were from all over the world - plus all the proceeds go to AIDS programming - so yes you should buy it even if not to read it...
