Excellent book and I highly recommend it. Fictional character Almon, now an orphan, is rescued from the desert at the tender age 9 by Joseph and Mary who take him into their home. He serves their household and Jesus who at the time is at the tender age of 3. Almon is entrusted into his care to help look after Him and serve in the house of Joseph. Almon's life is filled with serving, becoming a scribe, learning carpentry from Joseph and watching Jesus grow to manhood as He embarks on His mortal ministry, what it could have been like to be a disciple and follower during this time. The author is quite good at making it come alive and leaving you to ponder much about your own thoughts and feelings had you actually been there among those who believed and those who did not.

I took off a star for schmaltz and added one for giving me food for thought. Basically the stars do not reflect how I feel about the quality of the writing but more reflect on the place of this book in my thought processes! Page 181 has a quote that I like to reread: "This whole thing is a process, not an event. All I want from you is to trust me with what little you can, and grow in loving people around you with the same love I share with you. It's not your job to change them, or to convince them. You are free to love without an agenda."
It has a "Blade Runner" introduction that hooks you in from the beginning. Quite insightful but not a full course meal.
I guess I understand as far as life lessons go, but I don't get the whole Show Me Readers nomination. Who chooses these books? There are far superior children's books out there. The story is sweet...a cat who believes in herself enough to overcome criticism from friends and enjoy ice skating for the joy of it.

I guess I read a lot in February. This is super short and bloody and I am really excited to see the movie. It's a good story and beautifully drawn. Good thing that I work at a library that collects graphic novels so I can revel in my geekdom each day.

Fanny is a 12 year old girl in Madison, Wisconsin. She had always dreamed of having a dog, and pleaded with her dad for a very long time to get her one. Finally, one day, her father shows up with a small puppy named Nellie, and Fanny instantly becomes attached to her. But Nellie kept ruining the furniture, the carpet, and Henry's (her dad's) art studio. On his last nerve, Henry decides to give Nellie away and Fanny is heartbroken for a very long time. A few years later, with Fanny still touchy about the subject of dogs, Henry disappears for a day and comes back with a big old dog named Dinner. Fanny is cautious with getting to know Dinner, knowing that she is probably just setting herself up for disappointment in her father again. Henry promises not to give her away ever. The title of this book, Protecting Marie, refers to a paper doll that Fanny had created when she was little, Queen Marie. Every week her father would have a "Stupid Hunt" with her to clean up her room and throw away things that were "Stupid". Fanny was terrified that Henry would find Marie and throw her away, so she had to find a new place to hide her for every Stupid Hunt. This at first confused me, because I thought that the dog should have been named Marie, but it was just a paper doll. I felt that I could really relate to this book in sooo many ways. Fanny's undying love for Dinner is truly remarkable. The ending is also a happy one, and it leaves the reader with a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Good story. Emma is the daughter of a rock star. Her baby brother is killed in a botched kidnapping when she is a child. She saw the killers, but can remember nothing. Now grown up she starts to put the pieces together.
If you are a fan of the band Neutral Milk Hotel and/or Rock Plaza Central, you’re familiar with the way some of the songs descend into a glorious cacophonous mess at the end (similar to The Beatles song “A Day in the Life”). What seems to be a chaotic aural blend of instrumentation somehow works; it’s pleasing to the ear. When I started Salman Rushdie’s Fury, I had the same hope for it, that somehow the jumbled chaos of characters, settings, and events would evolve into a story not simply understandable but beautiful, and not beautiful in spite of its flaws but because of them. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Rushdie’s exegesis on the supposed furies that we all feel hinges on his protagonist, Malik Solanka, an Indian philosophy professor who previously lived in England but moved to The Big Apple when he suddenly found himself standing over his wife and children with a carving knife. He became famous in England for making dolls, specifically one called “Little Brain,” a little girl puppet who interviews famous philosophers. The show became a huge success, Solanka sells out to commercial producers, and this ultimately leads to his "fury." Oh, and did I mention that he drinks? A lot? He’s not the most likable fellow on whom to pin a story; not that protagonists need to be likable (look at Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky, hell, almost anything by an Eastern European author), but they do need to be engrossing and, sadly, Solanka just isn’t. Indeed, every character in this book is simply a cardboard cutout: Lifeless and un-interesting. And then there are the numerous sub-plots (the murders of NYC women for example) that are never completely realized or related to Solanka, so I question what they are even doing in the story. I understand that this is supposed to be satirical, that Rushdie is poking fun at contemporary American life among the intellectual and the wealthy. I also understand that he is playing with our conception of the furies (female spirits of justice and vengeance) of ancient Greek and Roman mythology. “Life is fury. Fury—sexual, oedipal, political, magical, brutal—drives us to our finest heights and coarsest depths. This is what we are, what we civilize ourselves to disguise—the terrifying human animal in us, the exalted, transcendent, self-destructive, untrammeled lord of creation. We raise each other to the heights of joy. We tear each other limb from bloody limb,” Solanka says. However, good satire is supposed to expose certain profound truths about its subjects, and I don’t think Rushdie does this with any success. He doesn’t make us feel for his characters (in fact, the entire story strikes me as a bit misogynistic), and he doesn’t make us want to investigate what he is mocking. Don’t peg me as a Rushdie hater; I loved Midnight’s Children! But this definitely does not do for New York what Midnight’s Children did for Bombay. This is a different Rushdie; this Rushdie has embraced certain critics’ views of his work, the critics who praise him for doing things with style and language that no one else can accomplish and say that this makes up for his somewhat loose grip on plot and character development. It’s almost as if he took these reviews as a personal challenge to see how far he could go before readers noticed that he’s just fucking with us. And the result sucks.

مسرحية مجنونة ♥♥ * تستحق القراءه مرتين و ثلاث و أربع ..... إلخ
This was one of those books that I picked up in hopes to find the summer read for school. I struggled with it at first but I began to notice what a great story this was at making changes in your life and in the life of others. I thought the ending was fantastic, Absolutely fantastic. I just wish the language was a little better so we could use it in the classroom.
una lectura divertida y fácil, aunque quizás un poco trillada y ciertamente algo ridícula. muy inteligente. casi hasta el punto de ser demasiado inteligente. pero ciertamente plantea dudas sobre el propósito y la función del empleo en una organización burocrática. Al menos una universidad tiene educación e investigación.
