Historia
It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life.

Absolutely fantastically woven story that was impossible to put down. Each of the characters was beautifully & artistically developed to engender the appropriate emotion from the reader. The author’s prose was so beautiful that I am going to buy the physical book so that I can pick it up to continually re-read sections bc his writing is just so exquisite in parts.
Absolutely loved.

Extremely disappointing. Terribly redundant and repetitive.
Revisado: 04-15-23
I was so disappointed to have finished this book having learned absolutely nothing new. This book is chock full of trite, “Good-Housekeeping-esque” advice that we’ve all read a zillion times. Total waste of time IF you are a parent who actively reads relevant data.

Historia
The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books - the only bookstore on Alice Island - has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose in the most embarrassing of circumstances. The store itself, it seems, will be next to go. One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children’s section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things. I love her very much, but I can no longer take care of her.

The Nuremberg Trials were the most important criminal proceedings ever held. They established the principle that individuals will always be held responsible for their actions under international law, and brought closure to World War II, allowing the reconstruction of Europe to begin.

I only wish it offered longer and more in-depth profile of the criminals, themselves.

Historia
In this “rich, complex family saga” (USA Today) full of long-buried family secrets, Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, blithely ignorant of all that awaits them. By 2016, they have four radically different daughters, each in a state of unrest.

absolutely the worst read, ever.
Revisado: 10-21-20
First of all, every single page is packed with frustrating, half finished characters, plots, diction, dialogue. Everything is underdeveloped and half finished. I should have abandoned immediately, but with all the glowing reviews, I'd thought it would improve. Boy, was I wrong.
The dialog was so absurd. (as if the boy, whatever his name was, would ever use the word, exquisite)?! There are dozens of examples of this. The way the chapters go back and forth in no seemingly thoughtful order or reason is maddening. The continually half thought out sentences & unfinished dialogues & sentences is extremely immature and unprofessional.
this book was so annoying and I felt like I needed Benadryl the whole time . Thank GOD it's over.

Historia
At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

This is an important book.
Revisado: 10-07-20
This is an important book, although I wouldn't call it a "great". I think that most people above 45 & certainly 50 need to read because doing so will make you a better person. This book will help you become a better spouse, parent, adult child, a better member of an extended family community and community, at large.
And I loved the main Character! she is a real "Mainiac".

You Are Worth It is a memoir about the War in Afghanistan and Kyle’s heroics, yes, but it also is a manual for living. Organized around the credos that have guided Kyle’s life (from “Don’t Hide Your Scars” to “Call Your Mom”), the book encourages us to become our best selves in the time we've been given on earth.

Deeply inspiring tribute to all US service members, as well as to the vast, global, dedicated network of First Respnders, military & civilian, who selflessly dedicate their lives for the well-being of others.

absolutely loved this tale from page 1. The narrator does a splendid job telling this beautifully woven story. The author very quickly and adeptly developed the characters to a point where the reader felt you knew each one. Beautifully done!

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive.

This work is so incredibly haunting. It takes the mind where it does not want to go & leaves you, @ the same time feeling hollow & encouraged.

Historia
The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

As excellent the 3rd read as it was the 1st. During this very difficult time in the USA, it was full of welcome lessons.
