A revealing look

Sometimes we forget about the slings and arrows suffered by maids of decades gone by. This book is a very good example of what their lives were like.

Best Bet for understanding American History

My first thought, is this a review link or a political blog? It amazes me how the liberals hate to have their opinions confused with facts. All, those socialist and marxist that rated this book a one star, did so because they hated the way the book presented facts with references and foot notes that do not support their anti American campaign. Here is a question for all you liberal socialist: What county is better than the U.S. that is socialist or Marxist. Think of the answer to yourself - got it- good, now go move there and get the hell out of America if you hate it so much. Good by and good riddance. Now as for the book itself. If you are interested in learning what they probably never taught you in school then I suggest this book, so you have a clear understanding of how we got here and what we need to do as Americans to keep this country great. The book states facts with plenty of footnotes and references, does not present opinions like the liberal communist love to use as talking points. If you are truly interested in the history of this country read this book. If you want to hear the same song over and over and over, watch Katie Couric or MSNBC and get your talking points so you can gel your uniformed opinions that you can regurgitate over your double soy milk latte with your comrades.

Nice Quick Informative Read

Maybe repetitive with respect to his other books, but this book is a nice quick, and well structured read. It provides some great simple rules that really make sense, and help bring us back in touch to what we are eating. Just having some of these rules in mind while shopping has made a big difference. Highly recommended!

Great read

Finally I was able to land my hands on a good thriller and once I finished this book I bought its sequel (girl who played with fire). Full credits to the author. I am taking away one star because at times it gets verbose (so you need to be know how to skim) and that the last 50 pages of the book are really a stretch since the mystery was already solved.

Might as well start with the set

I bought the 3-book set because the first two books in the series were being passed around by my students so much, they were getting pretty dog-eared--and (verbal) fights were breaking out about who got what book next. (These are high school kids.) As a teacher whose heart goes out to learning-challenged kids, I have to appreciate the fact that Percy Jackson, the protagonist, has ADHD and dyslexia--issues that only enhance his heroics, not detract from them. The books are easy and engrossing, with plenty of sword brandishing and sarcasm, so they keep teens reading. There are, of course, mini lessons on Greek mythology throughout the books (often as the ever-valiant heroes are being attached once again by another fury or hydra or what-have-you), so I appreciate that, too.

I stop just short of a five-star rating here as I have read as far as Book Four and I would have liked to see Riordan be a bit more creative with his plot devices. The fourth book opens with Percy beginning school at yet another new school and this time it's the cheerleaders who are not what they seem to be, but that's only slightly different from how the other books open. Some situations have been used so repeatedly that I've begun to predict how our heroes will be backed into a corner with no way out this time--and who will save them.

Overall, though, I think this is a great series for young folks.

Below par

Jodi Picoult is one of maybe 4 or 5 authors that I make a point of buying in hardcover, but to be honest, that may be over after this book. I don't always like Picoult's books, but I can always see value in the way they are written. That is not the case this time. I found the jumping from character to character to be hard to follow (even though it seems to have worked well for her in the past.) The lawyer and detective seemed to appear out of nowhere and it took me awhile to figure out who they even were. The mom seems very weak. The older brother seems like a recreation of the older brother from My Sister's Keeper. And to be honest, I haven't even really fallen for the main character yet.

Normally I can't put a Picoult book down. This time, I am having trouble making myself pick it up. I didn't like the story line in Change of Heart, but I wanted to see where she was going with it - but in this one, I'm not sure that I am going to finish.

Definite Liberal Bias

I don't know what made me think journalists for "New York" and "Time" magazines would write a book without a liberal bias. Any misstep during the campaign by Obama was glossed over or blamed on someone else. Problems were quickly solved by the all-knowing "chosen one". John McCain was protrayed as an obscenity-shouting madman. Sarah Palin comes off in the book as being a few steps away from being committed. The book should be sold with a large bottle of Pepto Bismol.

For use in a special Ed classroom.

My students are hooked on this book series. They have gone from non readers to reading without it being assigned. Thank you.

Didn't learn much about survival

After seeing the great reviews here, I was excited to dig into the book. I am about 1/3 way through and I'm finding it difficult to continue. Perhaps my expectation were off course. I was expecting a book to give insight into survival skills in different situations. All I got were stories of people who had a desire to live but it was very skimpy on tactical advise. So far the most I got out of this book is where to sit in a plane to perhaps survive a crash. I hope the rest of the book gets better... if so, I will update my review
