Kind of fun ... but lasted for about 30 minutes.

Prose poem. Cliff's first publication. Out of print I think but worth it if you can get your hands on a copy. Originally out of Persephone Press.

Caldwell certainly didn't romanticize the struggles of Depression-era sharecroppers the way Steinbeck did. The guy has a really black sense of humor!

Fitzgerald's first novel, and a big hit. It has a very "young" feel to it, and is a good formative precursor to "The Great Gatsby." Though not as beautifully constructed as that (and not as grand), it still is well worth a good read. Especially if you're interested in Fitzgerald, the man, as it is very autobiographical so I understand.

In elementary school I had a friend named Van, a Vietnamese immigrant, who, by 5th grade, was already an amazing cook of her traditional food. In 6th grade, her parents brought in food for Van's birthday. However, instead of bringing the traditional cupcakes, or even anything Vietnamese, they brought spaghetti. I always thought that was so odd, and a little funny, but after reading this memoir by Bich Minh Nguyen, the reasons behind this unintentional social oddity seems much clearer. The author presents a funny and clear, if personally-biased version of her childhood, largely focusing on her attempts to fit into the blonde and Dutch world of 1980s Grand Rapids, Michigan after narrowly escaping Vietnam before Communist rule. And for the young Bich (pronounced Bit), the road to assilmation and Americanism is paved with Pringles, stroganoff and SweeTarts. I wouldn't recommend reading this book while hungry or on a diet. Nguyen makes it clear that we are seeing the world through her eyes and we follow her from childhood ecocentricism to a clearer understanding of her roots and her extended family, which includes a sister, several uncles, a missing mother and an Mexican-American step mother. Though the author may not have entirely solidified her sense of identity by the end of the book, she has made an exquiste and readable journey.

Parts of it were funny, but this was way too much of a romance novel for me--and an unbelievable one at that. The mystery part is okay, but the romance seems to be between 3 incredibly clueless people with the emotional maturity of 13-year-olds. There were some funny parts, and I'm excited to try the recipes included, but I won't be reading any of her other books. The dialogue is too stilted, the characters are flat, and the plot is just a bit too strained to make for a pleasant read.

If I could only bring one book to a desert island, this would be the book.

This one is a 3.5 for me. I liked it, but there were just a couple that I loved. Charlaine Harris - Two Blondes: Not just a Sookie story, it's a Sookie & PAM story. I love Pam, which made me love this. Pam & Sookie have a "Girls Weekend" at the casinos in Mississippi, where they can gamble, see a show, and do just one little job for Eric. Cue danger. Fun story, over too quickly, one of my favorite Sookie shorts. Probably best enjoyed by fans of the series (and to be honest, if it wasn't for my love of one of the characters, I probably would be a little less enthusiastic about it). Sarah Smith - The Boys Go Fishing: what happens to an immortal superhero when the golden days of superheros are gone. Sad in many ways, but a light at the end of the tunnel. Jeaniene Frost - One for the Money: A Cat & Bones story set after the events in book 4. Really loved it. Cat & Bones need to guard an heiress with a contract out on her life. They also need to deal with Cat's mom. I'd never call Bones a saint, but his actions here are sure to bring squees of joy from fans. (view spoiler) Not sure how I would feel about this one if I wasn't caught up on books 1-4. Daniel Stashtower - Meanwhile, Far Across the Caspian Sea: this one was odd, but still drew me in. About a guy who works for "LifeSpan books" and his dealings with a particular coworker. Lots of questions left unanswered, but it still worked for me. I need to go find out more about this author. A. Lee Martinez - The Innsmouth Nook: I think it needed more. Too short, although I did like the twist, I would have liked it more if there had been more to the story. Jeff Abbott - Safe and Sound: A "lawyer-turned-"journalist" exploits a family's search for their missing son for ratings gold. I wasn't surprised by anything here, but it was a satisfying story. L.A. Banks - Seeing is Believing: a young psychic heads to New Orleans to gather some supplies to fight off werewolves in the bayou, and finds what she's been missing. Really loved this one, probably my favorite out of the whole book. Liked the characters (it even has a scary, powerful-as-hell granny) and the interactions between the characters. Need to read more from this author. Katie MacAlister - The Perils of Effrijim: Part of the Aisling Grey series. I haven't read this series, so I'm feeling a little lost. It is the most light-hearted of the bunch, involving Jim. Christopher Golden - Thin Walls: An example of why when it seems like it's too good to be true, it probably is, especially when it's a superhot chick who promises to let you do whatever you want to her. Lilith Saintcrow - The Heart is Always Right: Thi one involves Gargoyles fighting the Big Bad. I liked it. You are just dropped into the world, and while I still have lots of questions, I never felt lost. Close second for my favorite story. Chris Grabentstein - The Demon in the Dunes: I was wondering where this one was going, and it was not what I expected at all. Good story. Sharan Newman - Home from America: A family reunion takes Pat and his family back to Ireland, and his "homeland" is not what he expected. This one was all right. I was a bit surprised at the ending. Toni L. P. Kelner - Pirate Dave's Haunted Amusement Park: I really liked this one. A newly made werewolf takes one last vacation by herself (before pledging to a pack), and goes back to the amusement park she loved as a kid. Fun story, light with a little action. Great way to end the anthology.

** spoiler alert ** The plot is given like this: A very rich man suddenly finds he needs a heart transplant after developing severe cardiomyopathy. After the successful transplant, a woman begins to stalk him claiming his heart is hers and she wants it back. The reality is this: He doesn't even get the transplant until halfway through the book. Up until then, he develops severe paranoia and starts having strange and disturbing dreams. Much of this could actually be reasonably explained by the medical issue he faced, but of course, this being a Dean Koontz novel, that isn't the actual reason. The protagonist quickly and somewhat inexplicably rejects that the stalker is a ghost as the plot summary and knowledge of the author's past works would imply, and almost immediately he pinpoints the correct human suspect with almost nothing to base this on. So the actual "mystery" turns out to have a deeper spriritual meaning behind it - a meaning which I found interesting, but the journey to get there and the fact that this particular character was able to get there at all, was completely implausible. The bottom line is that even for Dean Koontz, this was an odd book. It reminded me why I don't bother to read everything he writes.
El cuarto libro de la serie Gregor the Overlander fue muy intrigante, pero creo que las ideas perdieron parte de su novedad en algún lugar del segundo libro. El autor es muy bueno para mantenerte enganchado, cada capítulo termina con un cliffhanger de una línea que te hace echar un vistazo a la página siguiente, incluso si no tienes tiempo para leer el capítulo.
