Peter Abelard was not well loved by his contemporaries - they were afraid of his new scholastic approach to analyzing fine points of scripture; they resented the brilliance and creativity of his mind; they were furious at his popularity with the young students at the University in Paris. Of course, his dalliance with Heloise gave them ammunition to discredit him - not only did he lose his cojones - he lost his position as lecturer and served out the rest of his days as abbot of a monastery. That's not all there is to the story - but it's a start.

Angelina and Henry are asked to perform in one of Mr. Zopoff's ballets. Angelina is a fairy (on a wire -- which goes counter grain to the cartoon) and Henry is an elf with stage fright and no sense of direction.

This book probably wasn't quite what I had expected and the writing style/approach reminded me very much of Bill Bryson (dry humour, commenting on odd facts and people's weird habits) but it was still interesting enough to hold my attention. Tim Ecott's life was characterised by his dad's career in the British army and most of his early years had been spent abroad. In his teenage years, his family emigrated to South Africa and from then on his life continued to be divided by time spent in South Africa and time back at home in Northern Ireland. The book gives you an unusual perspective, i.e. a tale of a Irish/British family emigrating to South Africa in the late 1970s and their steady decline into poverty. It's written with much dry humour and wit, discussing the social climate in Jo'burg's suburb Hillbrow in the 1970s and 80s. I suspect that some people might consider "Stealing Water" to be a shallow account of life in SA (Ecott only passingly touches upon the wider social and political issues) but I don't think that was his aim anyway. More a family history and a memoir about, what Ecott considered, his secret, and perhaps shameful, life in Africa.

It's not the best literature ever, but it got my 13 yr. old son to put aside his video games and read straight for a day and a half. He then moved on the the next two books, so I can't complain.

Disclaimer: Chris Braak is my husband's cousin. And I did some proofreading for a subsequent edition. Having said that... A complex combination of Victoriana, steampunk technology, Lovecraftian horror, and old-fashioned detective noir--a world of heretical science and Reanimates where the world of the Aether lies like a layer on the visible. This is a story that creates a rich world, high in detail, fully realized, but without wasting any time--there is no fat here--the plot gallops forward. OK, all of this has been said before, and better, at places like io9. But what I want to say is this--it's a damned fun read. I'm not kidding about there being no fat, about this being a rich, well-detailed world, where you'd do better to pay attention, not because you won't understand the plot otherwise but because you'll miss the fun details that create this world. But all-in-all, it's just an enjoyable story.

Let me begin by stating that I am a climber and have a desire for adventure; sure, those might seem to go hand in hand, but how many climbers are willing to suffer in their thirst for adventure? My suffering has been hardly that, but the limited hardship I've endured has brought an appreciation for those who have set their sets higher, further afield or took on a challenge thought foolhardy by many. Which brings us to this book, this author, this audacious undertaking. Any climber or traveler who has spent some time crashing through the brush, navigating off trail, guessing at what might lie above and the best path to it will appreciate Benuzzi's writing, which captures the essence of being outdoors, off the beaten track on an adventure. It is not lost on the reader that the this is the vantage point of one who is restrained (actually prevented) much more than we are from enjoying "being out there." He distills his sense of wonder and appreciation into words. I really enjoyed the detailed descriptions of how they finagled materials to create their gear, amazing. And I enjoyed even more the view of life at the POW camp--really a microcosm of society itself, who would have guessed? This may be a book that will stick with you long afterwards. I special ordered my copy, and as I rarely keep books (I live in an 800 sq ft home) I sold it back to the bookstore. Since, I have looked for it more than once...hoping to chance upon it for another read. Maybe that next time I'll keep it--it deserves a spot simply to be frequently seen and remembered, it is that special.
I would give this 4 1/2 stars. A very interesting look at what few Americans care to remember about the Japanese camps. Comes together in the end nicely, but I thought the ending was a little choppy.
Tyler and I are both reading this series...and both enjoying it. All kids wish they could fly - a fun story. My sister recommended this series, she and her boys had read them.

Mixed bag. Only two or three of the stories are truly memorable("Serial Killer", "Skinhead Central", the Bosch story, and the wonderful one about the plastic badge), some of the rest read like uninspired creative writing exercises. The Bosch story sticks in my head mostly because of the premise, not because of the execution. Bosch works much better in long form.
