interesting commentary on one of the greatest bands of the last century.
A parent will do anything to protect the life of their child and this is exactly what Regan Miller is about to do. As her boyfriend lies dying in her arms from gunshot wounds, he tells Regan they're coming for the baby and she needs to run. But before she can ask the two most important questions: who wants the baby and why, he dies. Determined to keep her unborn child safe Regan leaves the only world she knows. For the next 18 years Regan has become fiercely protective of her daughter Kelsey and has taught her everything there is to know about survival. But Regan's split second decision to let her guard down backfires and danger steps out of the shadows threatening everything Regan has spent 18 years protecting. I've never read anything written by Natalie J. Damschroder, but now having read 'Fight or Flight' I'm definitely going to be adding more of Damschroder’s work to my shelves. The title of the book is what first inspired me to read the synopsis. I really enjoy when a title reflects the story that's about to unfold and Damschroder did a great job achieving this. As most people know 'Fight or Flight' is a biological response to danger and this story elicits fear in the reader by exploring one of humanities basic conflicts--how does a parent save the life of their endangered child? Do they fight? Or do they flight? Some of the main characters in the story were Tyler, the flirtatious neighbor; Tom, Kelsey's jock boyfriend and Van, Kelsey's feisty best friend. While all the characters were well developed, I didn't enjoy the names Damschroder choose for two of them, Tom and Tyler. Both are prominent male characters and both start with the letter T and these similarities at times lead me to re-read scenes as I would easily get these characters confused. Taking the character confusion out of the equation 'Fight or Flight' ended up being an enjoyable read for me. There were many suspense scenes which helped keep the story moving in a forward momentum and the pace was fast, both things I look for when reading a book. The romance component was there, and tastefully done. The biggest plus that secured my return to Damschroder’s work, was the way the story ended. I loved that I wasn't able to figure out who the villain was, and how the villain was connected to characters. I always say if I can't figure out the “whodunit”part of the book, the author has done their job and will find me reading more of their work. I can't wait to recommend it to my fellow readers.

First book I've read by Mankell...and obviously the main detective of the novel is being put aside as he has developed Alzheimer's. While spy novels generally do not interest me, what stands out in the book are the relationships within families...and that many times we do not know our family members as well as we think we do. I will have to read another one of Mankell's books.
I wouldn’t have read this except the blurb talked about urban planning and the revitalization of Times Square. I’m a planner, so I thought this would be right up my alley. Alas, much of it focused on the “BEFORE” parts of the Times Square revitalization – specifically the activities in the many movie theaters. It was, um, interesting. On the other hand, I did learn that a “fish” is a woman in gay terminology. That said, it was a well-written set of essays from a viewpoint I hadn’t considered.

Read it right before I found out about the Naomi Watts/Edward Norton adaptation. I never have much to say about Maugham's novels, except that I always feel uplifted after reading his stories, except for maybe this one, where the protagonist failed to mature as a character even to the end. (Somerset Maugham)
Asta is amazing I just adore her, out of all the characters I'm most like Asta, especially her temper. I'd love to cosplay ASta one day.
I think I was too young to really appreciate it. I should probably read it again.
