Not long after Glory's arrival, her wayward brother Jack arrives after a twenty-year absence. By returning home, Glory and Jack are fleeing unhappy pasts and confronting inner turmoil. Robinson shows Glory and Jack reconnecting in slow, weighty dialog that emphasizes just how serious things are. The story is filled with religious discussions, regretful confessions, and ...

| i really loved this book. i read it as a recommendation of the author of the Twilight Serives (Stephenie Meyer). This book definitely lived up to the expectation of being a page turner. Suzanne Collin's writing style is sharp, biting, vivid & illustrative. the premise is also interesting. set in the future, food is a scarcity, the government uses a tactic to suppress rebellion: the hunger games. one boy and one girl (from ages 12-18) are chosen from each district to fight to the death. the reward ...

| At its core, Indignation is about how "one's most banal, incidental, even comical choices achieve the most disproportionate result." Marcus Messner, son of a kosher butcher and a student at a small, conservative college, is an outsider. Weighed down with an intense and paranoid personality, Marcus is wholly focused on getting all A's and avoiding death in the Korean War. His intensity and ideology result in dire consequences.
Like a short story, Indignation is written with laser beam precision. A ... Read More: |

| Stacey O'Brian is not a gifted writer, but once I accepted that fact and moved beyond it to the delightful story itself, I was enthralled. I have had a wide assortment of animals, including several birds. I currently am owned by a thirteen year old Maximilian Pionus parrot whose real name is Sweetheart but also goes by the moniker of "Mr. T" (testosterone) and who shares many of the traits that Wesley displayed over his nineteen years with Stacey. Sweetheart, like Wesley, does not willingly share his mate, me, as my husband ... Read More: |

| It may be one out of a hundred of these things that make me laugh, so unless I am editing this book (and I didn't), I cannot imagine that this would be worth buying. Per a previous review, this seems to be full of the ones that make your stomach turn in disgust and shame for having looked at a LOLCat to begin with.
I will continue to frequent the web site and will leave my money in my wallet where it belongs. Yeah, not even a gag-gift would warrant purchasing this. |

| I read the first few pages of this book standing in line at the bookstore. The beginning was mysterious, but started to paint a picture of a narrator that seemed defeated. The narrator turns out to be Death, speaking to us from the Nazi Germany during WW2. Death, ironically, is afraid of humans. This set the book off with a delightfully fresh concept.
The story is not meant to be a complex one, though there are a number of complex themes in the book. It involves Death, who comes to us during a busy time for him in ... Read More: |

| I've read that male writers tend to be more plot based and female writers more character based. Every time I read a book I've been noticing that this statement is true. Women writers portray more emotion in their characters and this is what makes them so interesting. Most of the Artemis Fowl books are plot based and this one is too, but there are more glimpses of internal conflict from Artemis in this book than the others. He realizes things about himself which he doesn't particularly like and this is exactly the kind of character writing ... Read More: |

| Healing the Rift: Merging Science and Spirituality
As a scientist and biotechnology executive I was intimately involved in the food industry for over a decade and visited agricultural sites in over a dozen countries on four continents. I applaud Pollan's expose' of of modern agriculture's cost. Michael Pollan exposes the high price we pay for industrialization of food production. The fact that the majority of deaths are caused by the Western diet and many of the major diseases are a result of how and what we eat is incalculable ... Read More: |
