I've never read a book before and broke down crying.  Amazing.  I don't push many books ... but this is one of the greatest books I've ever read ... and I read everything.  I found myself shouting out loud ... I found myself cheering ... hanging on every word and page ... Ah, forget it.  Just read it.  You'll not be disappointed.

Brilliant, devastating, and unforgettable. THE DARKEST MINDS is now one of my all-time favorite novels (and the characters now own a pretty gigantic piece of my heart). Do yourself a favor and buy a copy. You won't regret it.

The best thing about this music is that it is unexpected and surprising, and yet still tuneful.  It definitely gets into your head and stays with you.  The melodies and rhythms and harmonies always take the unexpected turn--just when you think you know where a song is going, it changes up on you.  Makes you want to listen again and again so the tune in your head matches what you heard.  The lyrics are strange, extremely evocative of a time and place--the lyrics put you someplace you have been before, and in that place they really speak to you, though obliquely.  Think Brian Wilson with Van Dyke Parks ("Surf's Up", etc.)  But really this is not like anything you have heard before--it may remind you of something, but it seeks its own space in your ears.  The more you listen, the more you find to like.  If you don't already wonder how music that all sounds the same gets on the radio time and again, and why unique but tuneful music is largely left off the airwaves, Appetite certainly will make you ask that question.  This is challenging music, but still fun to listen to.  Well produced and really a great listen worth many returns.

Los Angeles, California. Home of Hollywoods extravagant entertainment industry, where fortunes are made and dreams come true. But thats not all that makes up Los Angeles. Not anymore. Ghosts visions and specters now haunt the city."

Imagine if you will....the year is 1431. & you are Geoffroy Thrage, the executioner who set Joan of Arc on fire. After that you live out the rest of your life believing that you will be condemned for that act. And then, few decades later, you die. But that is not the end. You are reborn.. again, and again, and again. For centuries. Always with a birt defect and always with perfect recollection of all your past lives. And never able to get absolution for the act you committed almost 600 years ago. Until now.

As he's making his way to L.A. to meet a person who's claiming to be Joan, he is picked up by Mike Vale. Once a promising painter, now just a drunk on his way to his ex-wife's funeral. With air travel banned due to "ghost" appearing & scaring people shitless, they are driving through California in search of absolution. Each for their own reasons. Faith has brought them together, and they're about to find out why.

WOW. Keith Rosson. All those great writers that have the ability to capture your attention, not just with a single page but just with their names written on the cover. You pick them up and you know you're about to read something good. Their writing can transport you to the pages, stir emotions inside of you in a way you didn't know a book can. You read and even if the work is fictional it's tangible, it becomes real & it's relatable. Cause we've all been there or know someone who has. It doesn't shy away from the realistic; from the gritty and the dirty. It's free flowing, it's a string of thoughts put on paper so easily, so fluidly. It's a current that will sweep you away & you won't mind. Cause it's something beautiful, something exquisite, something you only hear about, not something that happens to you, so when it does, you get caught up in its beauty. The brush of an artist, the word of a writer. Something magnificent, something to behold and something to get lost in.

Well Keith is one of those writers. Or at the very least he's in his way there. And this book, this book man. Read it, cause its worth getting lost in.

You will need to suspend disbelief long enough to believe.  You will never forget this story and you shouldn't.

Really makes you think about how you react to situations, a bit repetitive but I think it's meant to be a constant reminder.  I think everyone should read this at least once.

THis book will take you to places you've never been. It will open your eyes and mind to new thinking. The beginning is hard as it deals with loss, but it is so worth it. If you have left over issues, IT WILL make you deal with those too. It will make you question.  It is not a flip through casual reading book. Once you get to the end. WOW so worth it.

I had never heard of this book before I saw it and no introduction is better than just getting the huge, heavy thing on your lap and looking through it. As most reviewers of this book have said, it cannot be described, but they have tried. I too can only give you an idea about this book and giving ideas is what this book is about.
  One day my friend Martine said that I must see this book and dropped it into my lap, I have not yet give it back. I sat there in my comfy chair and leafed through the many, many pages reading a little here, looking a little there. After a while I realised that this book was an amazing source of information and inspiration and so I started reading from the beginning, taking notes along the way.
  Todd Dominey, a new media designer, wrote, "As a designer, I felt more inspired, more aware, more energized after just a handful of pages than I can remember feeling in years of buying design and art related books." As indicated by its title, this book is meant to open your mind, to get you seeing the things you never noticed before, to give you a fresh perspective and a new way of understanding.
  On the first real page of the book a  quote by Montaigne reads "I quote others only the better to express myself." This book has over a thousand quotes from writers, philosophers, artists and anyone who has ever said anything thoughtful. A quote starts each of the books 72 chapters, each having a loose theme such as 'Imagination', 'Noise', 'Wit' or 'Colour'.
  But this is so much more than a book of smart remarks, it is a scrapbook of a lifetime of visual awareness. Decades must have whittled by as Fletcher was collecting all these fantastic stories, jotting down memories, cutting up newspapers, photocopying books, sketching fleeting visions and remembering good jokes.
  Every double spread of the book is counted as one page, and each of these 532 'pages' are thoughtfully designed by Fletcher. Every anecdote, poem and thought is uniquely arranged with the typography, colour and layout carefully balancing the illustrations, doodles and photographs of which there are around 700. It is truly mindbending how much care and effort must have gone into this book, and it is this effort which makes it such a joy to read.
  Through reading "Sideways" you also get to know a little about Alan Fletcher, to understand what kind of man it takes to complete such a generous and insightful offering of information. His brain must have been mightily relieved once it had poured out all this knowledge, and not a drop has been spilt. It is now up to us to absorb as much as we can, to learn from it and enjoy it. Those with even the smallest interest in the visual or the verbal will find it impossible to not appreciate and wonder at this book. Be careful carrying it home though.

This book really makes one stop, think, and remember to appreciate what we have in our lives. It is a very quick read and once started, it was difficult to put down. Thanks for the reminder of remembering what life and love are about.

This is a book that will likely stay with you the rest of your life.  Between the personal anecdotes and the philosophical reflections, it is both captivating and thought-provoking.  As a disclaimer, I have to admit that I know the family but was not personally acquainted with Paul and Lucy.  After reading the book, I wish I had gotten to know him.  You probably will, too.

In late middle-age, I come from a "we don't talk about those things" at home or at school generation and was married and honeymoon pregnant before I had the slightest idea of how babies get made.

Few reading experiences reach the heights of "The Red Tent" where Anita Diament invites you to be all the characters and makes the invitation so enticing that you must accept.

For the five days I read "The Red Tent," what was currently happening crossed my thoughts many times each day as I mulled the events over and over in my mind.  I felt "The Red Tent" as I read was at once delicious and shocking.  "The Red Tent" will fill you up and empty you again and again.  The reader who goes into "The Red Tent" will be a different person when leaving "The Red Tent" and some will revisit the memories of "The Red Tent" time and again.

Every woman over 18 needs to experience "The Red Tent."
