This is one that my students LOVE for me to read to them. Some days, it's the perfect way to start our afternoon together:)

The story was could have been better, band the writing could have been better. Overall it was alright but I'm not going to read the rest of the series. 3 stars. Also the ending was all "and everyone lived happily ever after!!" Lame :\

Like a bomb exploding, sending shrapnel in every direction.
** spoiler alert ** على الرغم من الشهرة الكاسحة لهذه الرواية إلا أنني لم أستمتع بها على الإطلاق، ربما بخلاف آخر صفحتين فى القصة!! عندما قرأتها خالني إحساس أني أقرأ كتاب لستيفين كوفي عن التنمية البشرية و كيف تستغل قدراتك الدفينة و كيف تبحث عن "كنزك الداخلى" و "أسطورتك الذاتية" و تتكلم بـ "لغة العالم" و أشياء من هذا القبيل. القصة بإيجاز شديد (غير مخل بالأحداث بالمناسبة) هو شاب رأى حلم عن كنز فى مصر و هو في أسبانيا، ذهب ليبحث عن الكنز ووجده بعد رحلة عبر أسبانيا إلى المغرب عبر الصحراء وصولا إلى مصر، و فى أثناء هذه الرحلة قابل فقط 4 شخصيات مهمة منهم شخصيتان فقط تؤثر فى أحداث القصة أما الباقى فلا. القصة كلها تتلخص فى جملة واحدة و هي "ذهب شخص ليبحث عن الكنز فى رحلة، فكانت الرحلة هي الكنز" لا أكثر ولا أقل.

One of the best books I have ever read.
This was such an annoying book that I couldn't even read it through. Technically, I never really read any of this book, but it was required for a class, so I "skimmed" it. Which even that didn't really happen. The parts I did actually read made me so mad and annoyed that I gave up because it's so dumb. I'm just so glad that I'm done with this book!

I really enjoyed this book. I especially liked the details about Princeton--both the university and the town. It made me want to go back and visit. Anyway, the book is primarily about the main character, Portia, as she faces the consequences of decisions made when she was in college, juxtaposed with one year of admissions work at Princeton. I really want to read her other books now. Also, I'm glad not to be applying for college. Obviously I would never get into Princeton, but everything is even more competitive than I when I applied originally.
Katharine Briggs took her fairies seriously. She was a folklore scholar, with several Oxford degrees, and did not think fairy tales were strictly the province of children. The tales she liked were those handed down over generations by people who believed in them, as opposed to the ones “made up as a pretty fancy.” This book is a popularized, illustrated version of Briggs’s AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FAIRIES, with more tales and fewer scholarly treatises. I guess it was intended for kids. Born in 1898, Briggs was 81 when it was published (she died a year later), and her foreword sometimes brushes against that patronizing tone writers used to adopt when addressing children. “I hope you will enjoy the book,” the introduction concludes, “and perhaps become a folklorist, collect stories for yourself, and tell them to other people.” (My second grade teacher talked like that.) Once she moves into the body of the book, however, Briggs is all business and forgets she is supposed to be writing for the kiddies. Describing the horrible Peg Powler, who dragged children into the River Tees, she comments: “If Peg Powler was not invented by careful mothers you may be sure that they made her sound as terrifying as they could, for the Tees was a dangerous river.” Briggs's youthful readers have to be sturdy of psyche. Her tale of the Each Uisge, the Scottish water horse, ends with the livers of seven little girls washing up on the shore. Briggs wrote scads of books, among them THE PERSONNEL OF FAIRYLAND and the four-volume DICTIONARY OF BRITISH FOLKTALES IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. She’s supremely comfortable with her material. She doesn’t attempt linguistic fireworks—who needs to, when children’s livers are washing ashore?—but she writes with an endearing, understated wryness. She tells the story, for example, of a young man who, when dancing with a Scandinavian elf-woman, notices that she is blessed with a tail. “But he did not betray her. He said, ‘Pretty maid, you are losing your garter.’ His tact was rewarded by good luck all his life.” Other elven women, we learn, “were beautiful from the front, but they were hollow behind, like a rotten tree. Because of this they never turned around in their dances.” Fun fact: Why are fairies allergic to iron? Because they’re from the Stone Age. Duh. The book is presented as a mini-encyclopedia, with entries alphabetized and cross-referenced. It’s intended for browsing, though—no table of contents and no index. Yvonne Gilbert’s illustrations are funny, lovely, or harrowing, depending on need. If I’d read this as a child I would have flipped quickly past the color plate of the Nuckelavee, a centaur-like Orkney sea-monster that is the stuff of nightmare. I flip quickly past it now, come to think of it.
Although this book is supposed to be written as a memoir, the style with which it is written would cause one to wonder about it's authenticity. Cooper attempts to deliver his message in the same acerbic manner as his comedic routines. In doing so readers can't help but wonder if what the authors are revealing has been enhanced for the purpose of entertainment. The consistent theme of personal persecution also tends to be quite offensive to those looking to be entertained. At the end of the "memoir" readers are left to ponder the same question that Cooper's audience has been pondering for years... Are the stories Fact or Fiction? Perhaps the book is worth a read if you enjoy books in the fictional genre. However as a "memoir" it just leaves informed readers with too much doubt, pity and sadness.

Eventhough this book is from the 60s I wonder how much has really changed. Maybe it's much more subtle but still there. Just take the enraged/engaged rubric.
