An interesting story about being a child of immigrants and balancing two cultures.
I was so interested in reading this book that I had my library bring it back from an inter-library loan. Most of my eagerness was based on my love of "Jane Eyre" coupled with the curiosity I had always had about Mr. Rochester's first wife. However, while the book is not a total disappointment, it was not all that I hoped it would be. First of all, let me say that the descriptions of the Caribbean Islands are detailed and beautiful. Having just returned from the island of Haiti, I would also say that Rhys' descriptions of the alienation between black and white was dead-on, and still exists in just the form that she described in many places. That being said, it is clear from the very beginning that the author wishes to convey the increasing madness of Antoinette/Bertha through the herky-jerky writing style that is employed. Thoughts skip and scatter, and reading this prose is unnerving and unpleasant. I did like Rhys' short exploration of Rochester's reasoning for marrying the mad Island woman. However, some of his actions (without adding spoilers) went far beyond believable when weighed against his total character development in the rest of this book and in Jane Eyre. Finally, I have to agree with one reviewer who commented that "The English are greedy and cruel, the black West Indians are secretive and inscrutable, and the Creole women are caught in the middle, and it drives them mad, mad, MAD!" Ultimately and rather sadly, that is about the only thing that I took away from this book.

I am becoming addicted to this series. The books are perfect for this age group. I remember that I became very interested in Greek mythology when I was in fifth grade, and I think I would have liked these books then. Rick Riordan does a very good job of incorporating mythological creatures and staying true to the myths in a contemporary setting. This book was essentially the Odyssey, and it was very well done. I really like Tyson. He's probably the first character that I feel really connected to, other than Percy, I guess. I really hope Tyson is in the other books.

Solidly written and personal. This book reminded me of one life lesson easily forgotten: Sometimes it is more rewarding to serve than to be served.

This book hurts my head. I;ve read it 3 or 4 times and it's still tough. Very clever, maybe just a little too clever...
Okay, so Cormac isn't that bad. I enjoyed this read much, much more than The Road.

This book was really amazing. I loved the suspense, romance, and drama of this book. I recommend it to anyone!
There's a long introduction to this edition which discusses gender and sexuality in the novel and how they relate to its enduring popularity. At one point the essayist wonders why the initial audience included such a high proportion of women. This seems obvious to me; the story consists of two romances! There's been a female audience for novels of romance ever since they were invented. So I was not really expecting romance, more a written version of the film High Plains Drifter or some such. Well, there's lots of mysterious strangers, injustice, desire for revenge, riding of horses and landscape worship and some gunplay, too, but it's inescapably a character-driven romantic tale. Fun, too, for the most part. The way things play out, the story is also the Fall of Adam and Eve, in reverse, which is a trifle weird. It's surprisingly well written, apart from the occassions when the landscape description turns purple to match the sage and I can recommend it to anyone who wants to find out what the "formula Western" novel was all about back in 1912. Deeper than expected.

Middle ages, love, murder, betrayal, rape, theivery and the plague. The epic of epics. Wool dyeing is way more interesting than it seems.

This book covers every part of World War II, from a brief overview of World War I and its effects, to the battles in East Asia and the Pacific, to North Africa, and of course Europe. It gives enough detail to make good reading and to not be encyclopedic, but brushes over topics lightly enough to give a chance to the others. I also really enjoyed the citations at the end; rather than give a traditional bibliography or footnotes, the author gives a list of references and further reading, broken down by subject. If someone is interested in the Italian campaign, for example, he explains which books the reader should look into next. The only downside is that this book was published in the 80s, so most of the references were printed in the 60s and 70s, and may not be in print anymore.
