Loved the honesty, but often wanted to throttle the main character

Incredible book, quick read. I've been slightly weary of the validity of memoirs since the debacle of "A Million Little Pieces" but Jeannette Wall's story is so starkly beautiful that there is no doubt she has lived through it all. Even though it was her father who had a drinking problem and often spent all the money the family had, I ws especially disgusted by Wall's mother, especially when she bought and ate a large chocolate bar when there had been no food in the house for days.

More like 3.5 stars. But I like it enough to read book 2.

This book had potential and the writting style kept you ingaged but the plot was underwhelming.
1961 Newbery Medal Winner Karana is a member of a small group of native americans living on San Nicolas island off the coast of California in the early 1800s. After the Aleuts kill many of her people, the group is transported away by some missionaries. However, Karana jumps off of their ship and swims back to the island when she realizes her brother Ramo was accidentally left on shore. Sadly, Ramo is killed by wild dogs, and Karana's eighteen-year-long, mostly solitary ordeal begins. She must fight against nature as well as her own loneliness as she builds shelters, hunts and gathers food, and finds surprising company in the animals around her and a rare visitor to the island. Karana's tale, based on a true story, has a lot to say about acceptance and resilience in the face of loss and difficult odds. This story will especially appeal to kids who enjoy reading about survival situations. For me, I was experiencing kind of a lonely time anyway, so reading this book sort of compounded that feeling. I didn't enjoy it as much as I remember enjoying it as a kid.

Loved this book, it was a really easy read, the chapters were short and really interesting. One of my favourite books so far, would highly recommend!

Yancey has many good insights. But the question "What good is God?" is not answered in a way that many would probably expect. He raises the issue in the very beginning of the book and then the rest of the book is spent describing Christians overcoming difficulties and the need for them to continue to overcome difficulties, mostly by being gracious. It isn't explained how any of this answers the question "What good is God?" but I'm sure most readers will figure out about half way through that they are supposed to see what good God is by looking at the triumphs of Christians amidst persecution, suffering, and sin. At the very end of the book he states this explicitly, but I think it might be better to state this upfront so the reader knows what the point of these (sometimes) circuitous stories are. Yancey is correct to point out that many Christian lives are evidence that God is good (in this non-moral sense). But, in my opinion, he could have done a better job at drawing out the explicit reasons God is good: at drawing out the explicit reason Christians can show grace, grow in grace, and forgive. He could have done a better job at drawing out the reason why a Christian life of grace and peace is different than a Buddhist life of grace and peace. In my opinion, a critical reader could walk away from this book thinking "In the end, Humanist ideals of harmony and grace are just as good as God. So why do I need that God stuff? It looks to me that the only thing that made a difference was the person's choice to grow in grace or the person's choice to be forgiving. So I'll just be a gracious person and you can keep the god-stuff!"

This was an excellent book with insight into 2940 Egypt. It was very interesting.

Possibly the best parenting book I've read. Ever.
This was a great quick read. I really felt like I was going crazy along with our narrator. CPG did a wonderful job of using the narration to illustrate the train of thought of a mind detaching from reality.

Esta es una de las pocas novelas que he leído en la que realmente he disfrutado más la adaptación cinematográfica que el libro. Sigue siendo una lectura bastante buena, pero decepcionante en comparación con la película. Mi recomendación: primero vea la película, luego decida si desea leer el libro.
