** spoiler alert ** There was a heck of a lot of promise to this book. I spent the first half of it reading eagerly, very engrossed in Rosemary's life. She has a bright and brilliant point of view, and I really enjoyed reading from her perspective. Her voice was loud and vibrant, entertaining and often times, funny. There were a few of her lines I positively loved -- "Love is a lot like food poisoning," for one. But when it got deeper into the book, I started to wonder when we would see this miraculous transformation that we were supposed to get into. She was supposed to journey towards transformation and self-discovery... and all she did was start starving herself and occasionally see this short-term counselor. The addition of the boyfriend and the new friend, Kay-Kay, was certainly a good step for her, but where was this self-discovery? There was one thing that kept me from really connecting to this book, and it was how overly dramatic the portrayal of her weight loss was. Rosemary was supposed to be, at her highest, 203 pounds. The way she's talked about -- her eating habits, the way she is mocked, the way she's portrayed as a slob at times -- seemed way out of line with that. She's meant to sound huge, but at 203 pounds, unless she's barely 5 feet tall, that just sounds like a stretch? This is not me saying that I think 203 pounds is a healthy weight for a teenager, for the record. What really killed me was how it didn't feel like there was much of a resolution between Aunt Mary and Rosemary. She spent the entire book terrorizing her emotionally, berating her for being fat, and even though there was that "breakthrough" with her mother, I'd have liked to see Rosemary's triumph over it -- especially when she claims she's the reason that Rosemary lost so much weight. Now, what killed this from getting four stars from me (because again, I absolutely loved her point of view, and I think this is absolutely one of the more realistic and honest portrayals of a young adult I've read), was the ending. Specifically what she says when her mother asks her what made her lose the weight. She did it to get people off her back. I understand that this is supposed to only be the start of Rosemary's transformation, but I felt nothing for that specific ending.

very powerful book. Michener goes to unusual lengths in researching this book, which deals with the teenagers of the 60's and their consequences for their rebellion against society. It's very good.

** spoiler alert ** Wow. Again, Whitehead writes an amazingly intelligent, complex, and relevant novel and entertains the hell out of me during the process. Zombies! His seamless prose sheds light on a world going through a "Reboot," which is eerily similar to Reconstruction, save for there is no one to integrate back into society. Again, humanity picks itself up, dusts itself off, and tries to make things right again, only to find that trying to reconstruct the life before will never work. Things change. Things always change. Keep up, don't get stuck in the past. Move on. Build. I'm shaken after reading the last twenty pages because it's what every zombie apocalypse survivor fears: the barricades simply will not hold. Not forever, anyway. As Mark Spitz recounted all the events he'd gone through, from Last Night to last night, I felt a connection with him; I loved his character and also that of his teammates in Omega. He held back bonding with others for this nagging fear that he couldn't yet exhale, only to discover that he was right. Oh, what PASD (post-apocalyptic stress disorder) does to a person. I think I'll be suffering from PZOSD. The final scene, where he decides to jump in the water, was both liberating and tearful; I don't know if he'll make it. I certainly hope he does and I won't be giving up on him. This character was so real to me! This writer is brilliant! Why isn't this guy being handed prizes left and right? Undoubtedly, this man is literature's best kept secret. Do yourself a favor and discover this guy for yourself. As a zombie story, as a novel, as a work of literature, as a piece speaking to humanity, this is nothing short of stunning and a mature, complex allegory. Oh, how I loved this book.

A better book than movie

This is my all-time favourite collection of classics that my piano teacher had given me at the Intermediate stage. The selection is perfect, the transcriptions easy to read and, best of all, my copy is so worn from use that I no longer have to force the pages open! Hurray!

Well. I'd made the mistake of picking up one of Laurell K. Hamilton's later Anita Blake books and reading it first. I had to stop halfway because to be frank, it sucked. It really, really sucked. I couldn't believe people were paying money for that garbage. But many of my friends insisted that the first few books of the series were actually pretty good and not quite so wlsh fulfillment-esque. So I read the first book. ... it wasn't bad. In fact, it was a much better scale than her later books. But I still couldn't like it. =( In this world, vampires and lycanthropes and all the supernatural live side by side in wary acceptance. As long as one doesn't try to cross to the other. That's actually a bit interesting. A bit. Vampire fiction is overdone and often overwrought. I think the times of Buffy and Anne Rice are over; I just couldn't bring myself to care in the least bit about the characters, not even the enigmatic Jean-Claude. And the less said of Anita, perhaps the better. I've skimmed the later books to get a feel of where Hamilton is going with Blake's character and it's not good. Not good at all. It was disappointing because so many people adore the series and I totally though I'd love it. But alas, that was not to be.

A scarily disturbing story set in South Africa. I read this as a university set work and I'm very glad that I did, otherwise I might not have had the stomach to finish it. Brialliant, but not for the faint hearted

Kitap ilk 100 sayfa için oldukça ilginçti. Kitap, kredinin kökenini, ne zaman iyi ve ne zaman olmadığını açıklar. Kredi ile 'piramitler' inşa etmenin benzetmesi özellikle ilginçtir. Kitabın son yarısı borç reddinden bahsediyor ve oldukça sıkıcı bir okuma. Ayrıca kitabın tonu beni biraz rahatsız ediyor. Yazarın sık sık alaycı mı yoksa ciddi mi olduğunu söyleyemem. Ayrıca, çalışma gerçek bir kitaptan ziyade bir bilinç akışı gibi akar.
