I wasn’t a big fan of Jonathan Ross before I read this book, and was expecting him to come across as annoying, just as I found him on his chat show. However, I did really enjoy this book and didn’t find it annoying at all. It’s not an autobiography as such; instead it’s a book that covers a subject at a time from his weight over the years to his comic book interest. I actually loved this format and thought it made the book flow better. Altogether, a very enjoyable book I would recommend,

Uneven, but often masterful. Check out "The Girls in Their Summer Dresses" and its teasing evocation of desire.
I ultimately enjoyed this book a lot. The excitement started immediately and continued through out the story. It was captivating, although farfetched, as Dan Brown's books are. I had trouble keeping the foreign names and places straight, but that is only because of my own ignorance. It was jarring to hear the characters who were searching for Jesus to use our Lord's name in vain when there are other ways to express yourself. Peter, are you a Believer or more of a Doubting Thomas? Definitely a worthy first novel.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I was first drawn to this book by the magic 8-ball on the cover. I still love those, and every time I see one, I have to fight the urge to buy it for my office! Some of the characters were cartoonish, but it did have a good plot involving a character being forced to deal with her past in order to move forward.

This is the first Graham Greene book I read, and it started a love affair [I went on to read everything that he has written, and eventually buy all his books:-)]. This is a spy story, an entertainment, but also a comedy, a witty tale of common man vs the bureaucrat, a cynical expose of cold war thinking... very funny, and deeply moving.

While a good read, this book was nowhere near as good as I expected it to be. I read it cover to cover in a little less than three hours. The dialog was mediocre at best, with very childish scenes. But this book excelled in what it was set out to do: Be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but in modern day. The only things classic about this book are the ever involved themes of romance, and what it really takes to see past the outside into the inside.

Lots of interesting information and insights into our history. Coontz tends to write about everything so sometimes it seems the information doesn't mesh or is too much, but overall very insightful. The major drawback is that this was written in 1992. Would love to see the updates. But overall a good history of families and the problems with families and our history.

I cannot think of a book that has had a more profound influence on how I live and how I see the world. I came across Earth in Mind seven years ago, when I was doing a great deal of soul searching, trying to figure out what kind of life I wanted to lead, trying to understand our ecological crisis, and struggling to understand why we were doing such great harm to ourselves. David Orr convinced me that an important part of being an environmentalist is loving and taking pleasure in the natural world, this world that I want to save for myself, my family, my friends, and future generations. As Orr points out, in order to fight for something, you must first love it. And one cannot love that which one doesn't know. So, even thought I had always been an indoor person, this book inspired me to set aside my books, and go for a walk or a hike. I also began to pause before I made decisions to consider what the environmental impact would be. David Orr argues that the answer to our social and environmental problems isn't simply ensuring that everyone gets a college education. We don't just need more education. We're currently learning the wrong things in school. We need to be passing on values and knowledge that will create a sustainable world. I, for one, graduated from college without the fainest clue how to live sustainably. By spending nearly the entire school day indoors, educators are sending students the message that time in nature, experiencing it and studying it, is not important. It is vital that our educational system reflect values that will create a more sustainable society. It's essential that we study ecology and agriculture, know where our food comes from and know how to grow it sustainably. Here is my favorite part of Earth in Mind: "Were we to confront our creaturehood squarely, how would we propose to educate? The answer, I think is implied in the root of the word education, educe, which means 'to draw out.' What needs to be drawn out is our affinity for life. That affinity needs opportunities to grow and flourish, it needs to be validated, it needs to be instructed and disciplined, and it needs to be harnessed to the goal of building humane and sustainable societies. Education that builds on our affinity for life would lead to a kind of awakening of possibilities and potentials that lie dormant and unused in the industrial-utilitarian mind. Therefore the task of education, as Dave Forman stated, is to help us 'open our souls to love this glorious, luxuriant, animated, planet.' The good news is that our own nature will help us in the process if we let it."
