LOVED this book. It made me laugh. It was an easy quick read that I didn't want to put down. I will totally read this book again and laugh all over again with it. Thanks Cath for this little gem of a book. :o) I don't know what else to say except if you read this short review...then READ THE BOOK! You won't be disappointed. :o) Some of my favorite quotes “So I saw Beth today. She asked me how you were doing. Sounded like she wants you back." '"We were over months ago." "You mind if I ask her out, then?" "You mind if I spray a piece on the side of your gran's house?" '... I ask, 'Do you think Dylan's telling the truth?' Daisy checks her face in a little mirror, then hands it to Jazz. 'You want me to find out?' 'Let's not ruin it by calling them liars.' "...I won't ruin it. I've got this special way of getting the truth out of Dylan." "How?" I ask. "I kick him in the balls." "That's pretty special." "What are you doing?" "Asking the universe questions." "The universe just dumped you over the side of a steep hill. You really want to ask it questions?" “I look over at Ed. He's staring out the window giving Leo the thumbs-down. I wait till he's looking at me, then I give him two fingers up. He gives me two fingers back. I give him the middle finger. He gives it back to me. I don't know any more signs, so I make up one. Three fingers. Take that, mister. He sticks up four. I call your four and raise you five. He skips straight to ten and does something with his thumb that disturbs me. I bounce my hands on my lap. Ed bounces his lap right back.” “You've been looking like this for months." Leo does something strange with his face. "I don't look like that." "Yeah. You do." "I'll look like that if Daisy dumps me, and she'll dump me if she thinks I lied," Dylan says. "You threw eggs at her head. Odds are she's dumping you anyway." I turn to Leo. "We decided. We said that we weren't telling anyone. We said it was art for art's sake. We said the more people knew, the more chance the cop's pick us up. We said it was you and me, no crew." "Are you sure I didn't say it was to score girls?” “Emma Forest?" Jazz asks. "His ex is the girl with the big...?" "That's the one," Daisy tells her. Jazz looks at her chest. I pat her shoulder. "Guys care about personality too." "Girls like me started that rumor.”
This was a favorite by Emilie Loring. Pearl Harbor happens during the story and beyond that the whole book was better than most of her others.

What I like about Deaver is the ability to cross information throughout the series without being dull, repetitive or patronising. In this one we have plenty of familiar characters, who all have history that shapes the way they work. There’s even a glimpse of one of the criminals from a previous book, and at no step of the way was I thinking “shh, I know this, get on with it.” That could be to do with my bad memory though. Anyway, the story itself is completely terrifying. As someone who shares part of their life on the internet, I have learnt plenty about privacy, but this book – about crimes involving data mining – opened my eyes to a whole other level. It almost makes you want to log off everything and go and live in a cave, but even then, they’d probably be able to track you somehow. This story is rather less graphic than some of the others, although there is still plenty of blood and death. If you can stand it, you should give it a read, if only to give yourself a taster of the “Big Brother is Watching You” world we live in.
Hard to give this book a not-so-good rating given the importance of the subject, but the writing is not very engaging. Hertsgaard uses the birth of his daughter as the impetus for the book: what will the world be like when his daughter is an adult as global climate change continues? The picture is not very pretty and governments are not doing enough to lessen the impacts ahead. Climate change is here. We need to both adapt to what it brings and mitigate the causes so as to reduce what we have to adapt to. Read "The Long Emergency" by James Kunstler is better bet to see what's coming

This was a gripping, and impossible to put down book, and I devoured it like I was starving. (Hah! I've always wanted to say that in a review!). Seriously, this Manson Family-like book was a fantastic tale and I loved it.
That is a great book!!

This story just blows my mind. It was a very heavy read. An extremely sad story.

John Lukacs is such a wonderful historian. His narrative style is dramatic and informative and he has the ability to isolate crucial historical events, in this case the disaster of the fall of France in 1940, tie it to one speech of Winston Churchill's and thereby illuminate the times. Much like his earlier book, Five Days in London: May 1940, here Lukacs makes perfectly clear the gravity of the situation in Britain as France fell. The possibility of a victorious Nazi invasion of Britain with all of Europe as part of the Third Reich was too horrible to contemplate but also too real a possibility.
