Good story line. I loved how Ransom Riggs incoporated actual photos of real people that people collected from flea markets and such. Fabulous idea! I myself love to take pictures and look at other people's pictures even if I don't know them. So looking at the pictures in the book was fun. As I was reading the book and looking at the pictures, I couldn't help but wonder.........which came first. The pictures or the story? Did he already have the story in his mind and then went in search of pictures that could match the story line, or was it the other way around? I thought the ending was very good and left me wondering......what will happen to the Peculiar children next? I hope there will be a follow up book in the near future with alot more interesting photos as well.

Before I leave Tennessee, I'm reading (or re-reading, in this case) some of the classic books on Southern music. I figured it would make sense to start with Guralnick. I last read Feel Like Going Home in 2001, right around this time of year, and loved it, but didn't immediately take the time to listen to much of the music under discussion. This time, I tried to make up for it -- not that I ever really need an excuse to listen to Charlie Rich or Jerry Lee Lewis. I also dipped into Howlin' Wolf's and Muddy Waters' records with more attention than usual, but the real find, if I can even call it that, was Skip James. His 1931 recordings for Paramount are otherworldly, spooky things, and a new favorite. All in all, this is just such a fine collection of profiles, and Guralnick a writer of such measured prose, that I can't help being drawn to its subjects. The book was a pleasure to revisit.

The book was very well written. I loved how it had some aspects of the Nephilim world. It kinda reminded me of the Mortal Instruments, but in this book the Nephil were perceived to me as bad and the angels were the good ones unless they fell from Heaven. I did not expect the end result and I was actually shocked to find out the Jules was the mastermind behind everything. The only thing that I fail to understand is why Patch was still trying to kill Nora when he was in love with her? Lastly, I kinda resent how things ended with Dabria. She wanted Patch to become a Guardian so they be together but he didn't want that. in the end that is what happened. But overall it was a really good book and I highly recommend it.
absurdly long and detailed biography of che. bazillions of pictures, little tidbits and anecdotes that you can't really pass up if you're interested in the cuban revolution or che's other attempts to spark revolutions. a tragic story, despite the man's faults and shortcomings, or perhaps because of them, it does give hope.

a very academic survey of the collapse of various civilizations, past and present. damn you diamond, you turned one of the most important and compelling topics into an unendingly boring and dry disappointment. there were so many important things to be said about the imminent collapse of industrial civilization. and the few that were actually mentioned were buried in page-after-page of qualifications, obfuscations, deliberations, and in some cases, flat-out pandering to corporate interests. how dare you sir!

This was a fun book! A cute way to get in some geography. The older kids hung around while I read to the younger two, and everybody giggled at going around the world to get ingredients for an apple pie.
Desai’s amazing novel manages to be at once both intensely personal and stridently political, as her characters live out the legacies of colonialism amidst the growing crush of globalization. If her politics are occasionally ham-handed, her characters amply compensate, being deftly drawn and authentically realized. Fiction is rarely this intellectually engaging and emotionally satisfying.

I read this book in one night. I rarely do that. In fact, I usually take about three weeks to read a book, with interruptions for THE DAILY SHOW, work and a social life. But this story interested me on several levels. First, without being a fan of hers, I grew up watching Lucille Ball on TV. She is in my DNA the way THE WIZARD OF OZ is in my DNA. It is virtually impossible for an American of my generation to have ignored I LOVE LUCY, which was shown daily on one of the nine or so available TV channels (three in most parts of the country.) So, curiosity about the workings of the show has often led me to reading an article or a book about it. I've watched many documentaries about the home life of Lucy and Desi. I can't watch an original STAR TREK without having a strange feeling when, at the closing credits, the word "Desilu" flashes on the screen. I start thinking how strange it is that the stars of a little situation comedy came to own a huge Hollywood studio, divorce each other and then simply dominate television production for ten years. (Kill me if I exaggerate, but don't say producing and starring in I LOVE LUCY and then being the landlords to just about every studio used in network filming wasn't a big deal for a couple who, in 1949, were considered washed up.) When I noticed Lee Tannen's I LOVED LUCY in the book store I flipped it over and was surprised to see it was written by a man younger than myself. If he'd merely been a fan writing a biography his age wouldn't have surprised me, but, reading the jacket, I saw he had known Lucille Ball quite well. In the last decade of her life, Lucille Ball played board games several times a week with the author. She'd call him up and ask him to drop by. A friendship developed. The writing is good in several respects. The anecdotes ring true, the history of the friendship, with its ups and downs, is completely believable and the voice is consistent. I do not get the sense this was ghost-written. The chief reason I recommend this is that it chronicles a friendship of a sort that is all too often ignored; the friendship between a young, gay man and a straight, older woman. This is not the sort of boundary-crashing gay-straight friendship as is chronicled in biographies of other starlets. The friendship between Lucille Ball and Lee Tannen is respectful and affectionate. Occasionally there is a falling out and the pain Tannen feels is genuine, but he is not describing a tragic situation. Tannen describes a woman whose best days are long behind her, but he reveals her as a star almost immune to stardom. She really does want to play Parchesi and swap wisecracks. Finally, Tannen describes his and Lucille's final parting. I have stressed this is not a tragic story but the scene he describes, in unembellished prose, could be the centerpiece of a tragic play. The actress, fully realizing she will never see her friend again, calls on her store of theatricality in a gut-wrenching moment. Again, it is very believable. I wish more people were aware of this book.

Andrew Bergman (writer of Fletch & Blazing Saddles). Comical, private-eye story set in the 50"s. Great entertaining book. Just picked it by luck, but would like to read the rest of the series.
