Wonderful book about a soldier and his ordeal being captured by the Japanese during WWII. Interesting reading it with the backdrop of today's earthquake and tsunami.

Riordan uses the same universal characters as the Percy Jackson series, but adds new flavor. Absolutely loved it and can't wait for the next in the series!!
I'd never read a VC Andrews and a friend was horrified that I'd missed out on one of her favorite authors. She sent me 2 books, of which this was one. My first Virginia Andrews. Lets see...love and betrayal, innocence and deceit, and stiffling parental love, a child's devotion...that about sums it up. Oh and mediocre writing. Certainly not making me crave to read another, ever.
So, this book really annoyed me at first. That whole begining set up...whatever. But anyway, I admit, I got sucked in and hooked and eventually inspired.

This book was really good. Lol. Yeah, I put that so eloquently and explained my reasoning really well, didn't I? But no, really, this book was really good. Let's clear my only problem with it out of the way before I start on the stuff I truly enjoyed about the novel... Slow start. That's my only problem. It really took a while for things to kick up, but once they did it was a very exciting read. And even though I didn't like the slowness of the beginning part of the novel, I wouldn't have had it any other way because Dubus uses most of the beginning to set up situations and characters and make them all three demensional and believable, which was something I really enjoyed about the book. What was interesting about the book was the fact there was no clear protagonist in the idea of good guy vs. bad guy, which could have easily happened. Dubus has us constantly switching perspectives between our two main characters so we see behind their reasoning and begin to aggree with them. But before we can begin to side too much with one character, we're back with the other and beginning to side with them until we switch back. It may sound confusing right now, but Dubus does this gently so the switches are easy to follow. I would be interested to hear from those of you who have read this book about who you side with. Behrani? Or Kathy? I myself, once I finished the book, had no definite person I sided with. I thought they both deserved the house and both had very good reasons for having it. But then again I thought that neither should have the house, either because of their past actions or their current actions. The second part of the book was as fast as the first part was slow. So it sort of made up for the lack of action in part one. All together the book was wonderful, with characters you could sympathize with if not related too. Well-rounded and fully believable with their flaws. Brilliant plot and absolutely stunning writing. If you start to read this and find it boring at first, I will convince you to keep on going, because like I said before, what the first part may lack, the second part will more than make up for it.

A really lame book that ended up not even giving factual information about Rowling. Not what I was hoping for for sure.
Mose Sharp of Valley Junction, Iowa leaves his dad and six sisters for life as straight man to funny man Rocky Carter. Sweet and tender with lots of Iowa references. Lovely.

Hey, look at me! I finally read a DFW book all the way through! No matter that this one is all of 7000 words, a commencement speech that would have made a lot more sense as an article in The New Yorker than dressed up as a $15 self-help book. There was some good stuff in here but the melodramatic format of this book sets it up as the easily scoured suicide note everything becomes after the fact. Remember when you first listened to In Utero after the news of Cobain's death? "It's so obvious." Which, of course, it isn't. We who schlep around in the stupor of grocery stores Wallace depicts here cannot help but mythologize our "betters" that opt out early, and the things that made them better are, to some degree, reduced to anecdotes to that mythology. It's too bad because this little speech intends the opposite: mythologizing the anecdotal; not only inflating the internal into a dirigible capable of soaring soundlessly above the mundane, but also introducing the radical idea that there are other balloons in the sky.

I liked it but it's very graphic and there was a lot of bad language.

Este libro se parece mucho a una versión adulta y sexualizada de The Catcher in the Rye. El personaje principal, Alex Portnoy, pasa el libro hablando con su psicólogo, reflexionando y llorando y gritando acerca de crecer permanentemente, culpable, luchando con sus padres y con su herencia judía, y terminando miserable en cuestiones de amor, en gran medida. parte porque él se hace su propia miseria. El libro es divertido y podría convertirse en una buena comedia de pie. Entiendo que si decides que no puedes soportar su lloriqueo malcriado, pero si puedes, Roth tiene muchas anécdotas escandalosas, agridulces y dolorosas que contar sobre la vida de Portnoy, lo que es más importante (y probablemente eficaz en la medida en que el humor va) tienen una especie de anillo de verdad para ellos, como si fueran cosas que realmente podrían haber sucedido, puedes imaginar estar allí y ver al narrador reaccionar como lo hace. (Tal vez el libro tiene algún elemento autobiográfico.) A diferencia de Holden Caulfield, nada se resuelve realmente para Portnoy; los libros simplemente llevan su lamento y la narración de cuentos hasta el final, y esto se vuelve repetitivo a veces incluso si no te opones al tono general. Aquí no hay desarrollo de personajes y eso impide que el libro vaya a lugares. De todos modos, vale la pena recoger solo la risa sólida.
