| Reviews : { Rating: 4.0 out of 5 } | Over , oer and over again... Wow... I didn't think anyone could say the same thing so many different ways and so many different times and sell their book. The only reason this book sells is because their are good salesman who convene department head to use this book. I read the text book cover to cover and after writting my notes out from the whole book, my notes were only four pages long, this book is a waste of time. I will admit their are several quotes and passages that made me chuckle but, over all this is not a good buy. I am selling my book back and I'm only half way through my semester. |

| Description : | For one semester/one quarter Sociology courses in Race and Ethnic Relations.
Richard Schaefer grew up in Chicago in the 1960's, at a time when neighborhoods were going through transitions in ethnic and racial composition. He found himself fascinated by what was happening, how people were reacting, and how these changes were affecting neighborhoods and people's jobs. These experiences led to a career in sociolog, and he is now a leading scholar on racial and ethnic relations.
This book grew out of his desire to help students to understand the changing dynamics of the U.S. population. This text is an accessible, comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the issues confronting racial and ethnic groups in both the U.S. and other countries. Organized first by issues and then by major racial and ethnic groups. The text examines each group’s history, explores its current situation, and its concerns for the future. |
| Reviews : { Rating: 4.0 out of 5 } | Don't buy this book- if you can help it! This book is written in the most insulting way. Author is overly opinionated and makes sweeping generalizations about all racial groups. Author makes bold statements that are unsupported, except by opinion. Here's a quote from the book about white ethnic groups (like German, Irish, Polish, etc.), "Whites as people don't think of themselves as a race or have a conscious racial identity. The only occasion when a White racial identity emerges is momentarily when Whites fill out a form asking for self-designation of a race or one of those occasions when they are culturally or socially surrounded by people who are not White. (page 121)" This is insulting to all who honor their cultural heritage. I am proud of my "White ethnic heritage", just as much as anyone from any other ethnic group should be. Thank goodness the class using this book is almost over! |

| Description : | Kafka on the Shore is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. As their paths converge, and the reasons for that convergence become clear, Haruki Murakami enfolds readers in a world where cats talk, fish fall from the sky, and spirits slip out of their bodies to make love or commit murder. Kafka on the Shore displays one of the world’s great storytellers at the peak of his powers. |
| Reviews : { Rating: 4.0 out of 5 } | Compelling and unique Now I know why this book is on the 1001 books to read before you die list. It is an amazing and vivid book that explores how one finds oneself when all is perceived lost. In this book, a 15 year old boy who calls himself Kafka runs away from home, and perhaps through fate or destiny, finds himself at a privately owned library with its own secrets. He is running from something that it is very important he avoids, but no matter how far you run, can you really escape fate? Meanwhile, an aging man who had an accident when he was young that left him a blank slate makes his own journey. Strange things have a habit of happening when he is around, but he is compelled to make his journey, although he doesn't know where it will take him and exactly why he has to make it. These two stories interweave each other with rich descriptions, a bit of magical circumstance, and lots of music. Classical music is described throughout this book while the characters are learning more about themselves and their capabilities. It made me want to listen to Schubert's piano sonatas and Beethoven's Archduke trio very much. This is my 3rd Murakami, and it didn't disappoint. It is very deep reading in places because so much of it is introspective, but I loved going on the journey with these characters. A wonderful read. |

| Description : | Anne Enright is a dazzling writer of international stature and one of Ireland’s most singular voices. Now she delivers The Gathering, a moving, evocative portrait of a large Irish family and a shot of fresh blood into the Irish literary tradition, combining the lyricism of the old with the shock of the new. The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan are gathering in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother, Liam, drowned in the sea. His sister, Veronica, collects the body and keeps the dead man company, guarding the secret she shares with him—something that happened in their grandmother’s house in the winter of 1968. As Enright traces the line of betrayal and redemption through three generations her distinctive intelligence twists the world a fraction and gives it back to us in a new and unforgettable light. The Gathering is a daring, witty, and insightful family epic, clarified through Anne Enright’s unblinking eye. It is a novel about love and disappointment, about how memories warp and secrets fester, and how fate is written in the body, not in the stars. |

| Description : | The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good...and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt. Phèdre nó Delaunay is a young woman who was born with a scarlet mote in her left eye. Sold into indentured servitude as a child, her bond is purchased by Anafiel Delaunay, a nobleman with very a special mission...and the first one to recognize who and what she is: one pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Phèdre is trained equally in the courtly arts and the talents of the bedchamber, but, above all, the ability to observe, remember, and analyze. Almost as talented a spy as she is courtesan, Phèdre stumbles upon a plot that threatens the very foundations of her homeland. Treachery sets her on her path; love and honor goad her further. And in the doing, it will take her to the edge of despair...and beyond. Hateful friend, loving enemy, beloved assassin; they can all wear the same glittering mask in this world, and Phèdre will get but one chance to save all that she holds dear. Set in a world of cunning poets, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and a truly Machiavellian villainess, this is a novel of grandeur, luxuriance, sacrifice, betrayal, and deeply laid conspiracies. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of Kushiel's Dart-a massive tale about the violent death of an old age, and the birth of a new. |
| Reviews : { Rating: 4.0 out of 5 } | Not Awesome When I finished Kushiel's Dart, I found myself annoyed at the prospect of reading the sequels. I probably won't. Ultimately I just didn't care about the main character Phedre. And even the idea of following her through two more lengthy sequels is just tiresome. While reading, I was particularly bothered by a couple of things. Off the bat, the "prose" that many readers have been enamored by put me off. The story being told in first person, the "beautiful" writing style makes Phedre come off sounding like somebody's arrogant grandmother. And although I never really hated her, I never really liked her or cared what happened to her. At one point Phedre experiences a very big personal loss and becomes a helpless victim, and it just didn't bother me. Now, there are two kinds of people who complain about the SM and sex in the story. Some people were offended by it (too much, too explicit), and others felt disappointed by it (semi-graphic descriptions disappear a third of the way into the story, and Carey tries to describe all of her explicit sex scenes "tastefully"). It seems that Carey was trying to drive a fine line between too much and too little in the sex department. So, she gives a glimpse of what some of Phedre's sexual encounters are like, and then it's like "now, that you know more or less what it's like, we don't have to talk about it any more." And perusing the 5 star reviews, apparently for a lot of people she drove that line perfectly. But, personally, I have to agree with the reviewer who said that it was a bad move to do away with the sex depictions part-way in, because at that point those people who are going to be offended by it are already gone, and those who were enjoying it (who were perhaps drawn to the book based on the intriguing concept of a BDSM protagonist) end up feeling cheated. And if Carey didn't want to over-emphasize sex in the book, didn't want it to come off as straight-up pornographic, that's understandable, but the fact that many of the greater plot complications are more or less resolved with sexual encounters makes that desire seem somewhat hypocritical. Oh and that's one of the other things that really bugged me. No matter how bad it got for her, Phedre always happened to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time in exactly the right capacity (usually as the result of a sexual encounter) to ultimately save the day. So, you'll see a lot of complaints in the critical reviews about how Phedre is an annoying Mary-Sue character with little to no significant faults. She's too perfect to be likeable or even believable. She faces no really hard choices, just rides along with the Plot and experiences very little discernible growth. Didn't have a problem with all the "made-up world" words. Didn't have a problem with the "alternate Europe" universe or the Nephilim-based theology with the "god" Elua being born from the blood of Jesus on the cross and the Magadalene's tears in the earth. Though the sex-based theology did strike me as pretty shallow. Didn't buy how the antagonist Melisande was supposed to be so much more beautiful than the already superlatively beautiful Phedre and the other D'Angeline people--the most beautiful race on the planet. Didn't buy how Melisande supposedly made Phedre's knees weak, etc. Just wasn't convincing. Well, there are a number of other nitpick things I could say, but there are at least 60 other 1, 2, or 3 star ratings for you to temper the glowing praise with. So, have at it! |
