Written well for the mass market - could have gone further, but didn't.

The amazing story of a woman who found an abandoned child and decided to keep and raise her for her own. Before you start yawning, let me say that there is some very hard subject matter in this book. The mother took the child, yes, and raised her. But what you find out is how she struggled with that choice and why. Then, when the real parents of the child return to claim her, the mother has to make a deal harder than any most people could imagine. I liked this book fairly well, but it was depressing.

The author began her career as a copywriter and went on to found the Parenting magazine. Through her tips "Naked Truths" she takes you through simple tips to more complex ones. One of my favourite is: Before worrying overly about your job’s lack of challenge and certainly before complaining about it, concentrate on delivering. Most self help books are boring, this one isnt. Perhaps I liked it because it is also based on life in a media house!! But it will help you irrespective of where you work.

Book talk: Come one, come all and learn about the extraordinary life of P.T. Barnum and the stupendous history of his American Museum and the Barnum and Bailey Circus. Barnum was famous for many attractions: 25 in. tall Tom Thumb, 7 ft. 11 in. tall Anna Swan, the first public aquarium complete with a beluga whale, Zazel the human cannonball, Salamander the fire horse, and an 11 and a 1/2 ft. tall elephant named Jumbo to name a few. But perhaps the biggest attraction was P.T. Barnum himself. He built his fortune out of nothing only to go banrkrupt and build it again. He made the famous American Museum, watched it burn down, and built it again only to have it catch fire once more. He then entered the circus business at age sixty where he invented the three ring circus layout. P.T. Barnum was a showman above all else, and his life was one great show. Rocks my socks: This book is chock full of interesting information and anecdotes. Did you know that it was actually one of P.T. Barnum's rivals who said "There's a sucker born every minute"? Or that P.T. Barnum was an animal lover who not only was consulted by zoos at the time as to the proper care of exotic animals and donated specimens that can still be found in the Smithsonian Institution, Yale's Peabody Museum, and Harvard's Museum of Comparative Study he was also an active member of the SPCA and friends with its first president, Henry Bergh? The sheer tenacity of the man surviving bankruptcy, his museum burning down twice, and his house burning down only to enter the circus business at age 60 is admirable as well. By getting a firmer understanding of what entertained people of his era I also gained a firmer understanding of what exactly life in that era was like. Every page seemed to contain an amusing tidbit--much like the museum he built his fame and fortune on. My favorite anecdote from the book is that of ivy island, but I don't want to give it away--you'll have to read it for yourself! Rocks in my socks: The book made ample use of information set off in textboxes separate from the rest of the text. Not only am I not a big fan of this device because I feel it interrupts the flow of the narrative, but even if I did like that layout I would feel that it was over-used by this book. Every book its reader: I'd give this to anyone with an interest in life in the 1800s or entertainment, especially of the circus and sideshow variety. There's a lot of things that children will find interesting in this book and it's packed full of photographs as well so it's sure to be appealing. I'd say 5th grade and up.

2011- I felt like this was more geared to those teaching intermediate grades (3-5). I did pick up a few good ideas to try with my middle schoolers though.

I enjoyed this book because I enjoyed the message. I saw it after the movie and this is one of the first times where I can say I liked both equally. The book's characters were not entirely realistic or believable, but the story was as cute and touching as the movie. Now, if only the author knew anything about a complete sentence, perhaps the book may have been fantastic.

This book was lovely. A bit like reading Salman Rushdie (who everyone knows is one of my favourites) but without magical realism - same decades-spanning family saga, same attention to physical detail, same interweaving of genuine history into the fiction. My first real lesson in 20th-century Indian history came Midnight's Children; this was my first real lesson in Burmese and Malaysian history. Made me want to learn more. Oh and just to warn anyone who's thinking of picking it up, the ending totally made me cry.
What is not to like? A great, new take on super heroes and masked crusaders, Watchmen is unlike any other graphic novel made. Plus, this is a great perspective of a world where Dick continued his presidency for multiple terms. This story is slow, full of detail, and it all comes together in one of the best endings ever written.
