I love this book because it considers the financial case of the single, no children person in her 40s in addition to married with children persons. I read the entire book to understand where it was coming from, so I could judge how to take the advice with regard to my circumstances. Based on my other readings, I believe the advice is sound, albeit a bit conservative. It didn't make me feel like a loser if I couldn't/hadn't stocked away $1 million by 40; nor did it imply I might as well not bother doing anything now if I wasn't at the recommended age:savings ratio because it was already too late. Instead it explained what one could do and how to go about deciding what to do. I feel a lot calmer now not only about my current financial status but also about making future financial decisions.

This book made so much sense of my 20's. And more.

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. It's still an honest review, but the FTC wanted you to know... ---------------- This book seemed to me like "Gnosticism for Dummies" wrapped up in a thin candy Scooby-Doo shell (the only thing missing was the crazy old man who dressed up like a ghost/alien/monster). I was excited to receive the book when I saw it on first reads--it sounded like an adventure novel along the same lines as the DaVinci code. My first hint that it was not the case was the classification on the back cover: Spirituality/Fiction. Spirituality? Not mystery, thriller or adventure? Hmmm. Nonetheless, I dove in, hoping for the best. The book felt like it had been written by a high school student, both in style and story. The characters were flat and insipid. The entire book was merely a platform to explain Gnostic ideas, with the "adventure" and "detective work" being merely a secondary concern (if that). I also found it surprising that two of the main characters were so quick to accept ideas shared with them by two professors--in the course of two days, they essentially drop their Catholic upbringings and accept the Gnostic ideas they are told. No heavy internal wrestlings? Not much of a spiritual struggle, it seemed. Now for the good (because there was some). I applaud Mr. Davila for having written a book about something that he obviously believes and wants to share with others. Second, I felt like he provided a (mostly) realistic view of the middle east. I appreciated being able to "see" Jerusalem and Palestine and the description of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank. It's stuff that I hear about on the news, but don't know what it looks like. Tariq ends up being the most interesting and deepest character of the book--maybe it should have focused on him instead of everyone else. There was exactly one moment in the whole book where I felt connected emotionally to the story: page 155 where ***SPOILER*** (view spoiler) ***END SPOILER*** That was the only time that I cared about anyone in the whole book. And the only time that the book actually felt like an adventure. The good news: you can get published if you want to write a book badly enough.

Certain ends, justify certain means. Machiavelli understood the politics of Blood and Iron.

A wonderful book for women and girls. The author tells of a time when life was seen as a male world but a very strong protagonist sees it through her own eyes and wants to change it.

This is my second favorite of Dick's books, and I can see why Linklater chose this one to make a movie out of. Again, the paranoia is thick, but unlike many other of Dick's characters, I really felt connected to Robert Archtor (Fred), and I suspect that Archtor's struggle with addiction (especially at the end) was analogous to Dick's struggle with his mental illness. While the story flirts with, but ultimately avoids, strict coherence, it does speak to how addiction ravages someone and how the "War on Drugs" is insane.

This book i filled with authentic, beautiful characters. And the exploration of what makes us human, women, and family. Set in the 60s during the early days of the civil rights movement, this compelling novel takes us through the lives of 3 narrators--two black domestic maids and one Southern white woman. With such a large grouop of both main and supporting characters, I found myself relating to almost evey character (well, except Hilly--just hate her!) The characters seem so beautifully crafted, and so "real." I loved the way that the women in the book became progressively more "independent." Thinking for themselves, questioning the status quo, making bolder and riskier choices, and becoming "free." Every character has his/her foil. Skeeter: Hilly Aibleen: Minnie Johnny: Stuart Elizabeth: Celia The tragedy of Constantine, the abuse of Minnie, the unquestioning love of Johnny, even the inability of Hilly and Stuart to change. . .all of the characters remind me that really those things that separate us are so minor compared to those things that bring us together. And that behind every face that I may make a judgement about--the mother down the street who doesn't watch her kids, the clerk at the store who chats on the phone rather than actually serving the customer, the cleaning lady who cancels 3 weeks running and arrives smelling of cigarette smoke and alcohol-- there is a life, a story, and probably more tragedy than I want to know.

An amazing book that wrestles with understanding ourselves in light of our faith, cultural mores and friendships. It's unique format engages the reader with its intimacy...as it is a compilation of letters between two women discussing life, God, relationships, singleness, cultural norms, etc.
