Hamlet and the Tales Of Sniggery Woods



Maggie Kneen

Review: How would one best describe Hamlet and the Tales of Sniggery Woods? It’s as if all the best elements from The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Aesop’s Fables were rolled into one, with details every proper fairy tale must possess thrown in for good measure—such as a wise heron king whose throne is a “thinking nest” and an ancient house held together with “cobwebs and cuckoo spit.” If you love Beatrix Potter’s animal characters, then you’re sure to be enchanted by Hamlet the Pig, Mrs. Piggins, King Heron and all their furry and feathered friends. With beautiful illustrations and prose, Maggie Kneen transports readers to a magical world as Hamlet sets out on a grand adventure to follow his heart and fulfill his dreams! (Ages 4-6)

What Do You See?



Judith Snyder
Publisher: Creative Editions, September 01, 2009
Review: Any way you read it—front to back, sideways or upside down for a different point of view—What Do You See? allows your mind to, as author/educator Judith Snyder says, “fly like a bold acrobat.” This is so much more than a book about shapes, in that it’s the kind of book that challenges kids to look at the world in a whole new way, long after storytime is over. With every turn of the page and every thought-provoking question, kids are encouraged to examine the ups and downs and all-arounds of simple shapes and colorful collage artwork. Is that squiggly line just a line—or a slithering snake? Or something else altogether? It’s a great way for curious kids to explore and create and make up their own stories. (Ages2-4)

The Affair



Lee Child
Publisher: Delacorte Press, September 27, 2011
Review: Maverick. Nomad. Vigilante hero. Jack Reacher is all these, and more. An elite military cop who turned his back on his career, he has been wandering across America for years, mostly keeping to himself, but dispensing justice with lethal efficiency when necessary. But how did it all begin? What happened to cause him to go on the road?
A novel of unrelenting suspense that could only come from the pen of #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, The Affair answers these questions, taking us back to 1997 and the event that altered the course of Reacher’s life.
A woman has been killed, and evidence points to a soldier stationed nearby. Jack’s orders: go undercover and quietly monitor the investigation from afar. That doesn’t last long. Reacher’s a good soldier, but he soon realizes that there’s more to the case than meets the eye. Sheriff Elizabeth Deveraux, a former marine with a nose for trouble, thinks so, too. Teaming up, they begin to dig for the truth…and discover that their quarry has friends in high places. Reacher isn’t the kind of man who likes to back down; if he keeps quiet, he won’t be able to live with himself. But then again, if he speaks out, he won’t be allowed to live…period.

Inferno


The World at War, 1939-1945
Max Hastings
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House, November 01, 2011
Review: Review by Dennis Showalter
Max Hastings has for years successfully and appropriately blurred the line between journalist and historian. His latest work exemplifies that approach. It is best understood not as a history of World War II in the conventional sense, but as the conflict’s story. Hastings explores the war as a human experience, bringing together material from around the world to describe experiences that in some cases were universal, in others as variegated as the circumstances that generated them.
In less expert hands the result might have been a disconnected series of anecdotes and vignettes, an exercise in cultural anthropology. But with a quarter-century’s experience and more than 20 books behind him, Hastings has produced a work best understood as a complement to Gerhard Weinberg’s A World at War. Inferno offers a solidly unobtrusive chronological framework for an empathetically-chosen spectrum of personal experiences derived from a vast base of interviews, correspondence and published material.
That data base is complemented and completed by Hastings’ own asides, opinions and conclusions on everything from the turning point in the Russo-German War (December 1941, because Russia remained undefeated), through the wartime erosion of Britain’s Indian empire, to describing the Grand Alliance as a grand charade and evaluating the abilities of commanders from Mark Clark to Erich von Manstein. He discusses Japanese biological warfare, and the “extraordinary cynicism” with which the U.S. amnestied its senior officer in return for information that proved worthless. He presents Anglo-American cryptanalysis as a case study in mobilizing civilian talent in a way the Axis refused to match. He comments on weapons systems from Spitfires to Sten guns.
It is all worthwhile, and if Hastings’ individual positions can be challenged, they cannot be casually dismissed. The book’s core and essence, however, is its human dimension. Hastings pays attention to aircrew selection and training as well as aerial operations. He balances “the exhilaration of an existence in the high blue sky” with “…a destiny as a bloody jam of compressed flesh and bones, or surmounting a petrol-fuelled funeral pyre." He succeeds in showing both as integral aspects of the airman’s experience.
When he turns to ground fighting, Hastings concentrates on the effects of stress, terror and randomness. Experience exacerbated fear rather than diminishing it. Fear and filth went hand in hand. Everybody stank. Loss of bowel and bladder control was normative. One staff under bombardment took shelter beneath map tables and broke into group song. In Normandy, British tankers and infantry considered each other mutually expendable. On the German side phone linemen were often the first to die as they sought to restore communications vital in an army lacking field radios.
And the consequences? Victimhood and bitterness, albeit in varying degrees, were universal outside the U.S. So were desires for dramatic social and political changes. The actual result was a series of compromises—and a world saved from the much worse fate of an Axis triumph. Not perfect, not even a “good war”—but Hastings’ approach shows it was good enough in an imperfect world.

Review: The 11th novel in Charlaine Harris’ wildly popular Southern Vampire series, Dead Reckoning finds Sookie Stackhouse hoping she’ll finally be able to pull her turbulent life together. But trouble has a way of throwing her off course.
Ever since Sookie’s boss, Sam Merlotte, came out as a shapeshifter, business hasn’t been good at the bar. Whether it’s because some people in Bon Temps, Louisiana, object to the two-natured, or that a popular new roadhouse has opened up the road, they’re not sure.
Until the night someone tosses a firebomb through the window. No one is seriously hurt, but police suspect the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie thinks the culprit may be a supernatural, but male or female, no supernatural can be ruled out.
Sam’s struggling bar isn’t all that’s on her mind. As Sookie tries to put the past months behind her, she learns there are still secrets to be revealed. Her faerie relatives—past and present—may have more to say about Sookie’s Fae identity. And though the telepathic waitress can’t “read” vampire minds, Sookie knows Eric Northman is up to no good. And when she finds out what he’s plotting, she realizes the vampire she loves is far more ruthless than she ever knew....

Review: Immerse yourself in the sensual world of the Carpathians in bestselling author Christine Feehan’s Dark Slayer, the heart-stopping tale of an elusive vampire slayer who is legend to the forces of both darkness and light.
Ivory Malinov shouldn’t be alive. Betrayed by those closest to her and forced to endure unspeakable torture, she survived on sheer will alone, nursing her broken body back together far away from civilization.

Though born a dragonseeker—one of the greatest Carpathian lineages —Razvan has been a slave to the evil mage Xavier for centuries, and has been branded a criminal by his own people. Now, after escaping a lifetime of torment and imprisonment, he wants only one thing—to finally put an end to his tortured existence.
Both wounded in spirit, both outcasts, and both driven by terrible purpose, can these two warriors allow their hearts to unclench when they know that the slightest weakness could spell their doom?

Caleb's Crossing



Geraldine Brooks
Publisher: Penguin Group USA, May 03, 2011
Review: Like Pulitzer Prize-winning Geraldine Brooks’ previous novels, Caleb’s Crossing is inspired by historical events, this time the graduation of the first Native American from Harvard University in 1665. Narrated by 12-year-old Bethia Mayfied, it follows the story of Caleb Cheeshahteaumauk, a young boy taken under the wing of a minister hoping to convert his tribe. For Caleb, it’s an opportunity to explore the strange world of the English, and his journey across cultures is both fascinating and absorbing. Juxtaposed against Bethia’s own story as she struggles with the limited opportunities of her own life, this is a luminous tale of love, faith and adventure. It further establishes Brooks’ place as one of our most acclaimed novelists.

Wild Fire



Christine Feehan
Publisher: Jove, April 27, 2010
Review: Bestselling author Christine Feehan pulls out all the stops in Wild Fire, a white-hot tale about a leopard shape-shifter that weaves blistering action, scorching sensuality, and incendiary love scenes into a novel that’s impossible to put down.
Conner Vega may look elegant in his jeans and t-shirt, but there isn’t a civilized bone in his body. Within his chest beats the heart of a beast. As a member of the most lethal of the leopard shape-shifting tribes, he moves with liquid grace, bears the soul-crushing sins of past kills, and is branded by four scars running down his cheek—scars inflicted by the woman he craves beyond all reason…and who hates him above all else.
Isabeau Chandler has good reason to hate Conner—he once seduced her in order to get to her father. Too bad she also needs him, in more ways than one. A powerful drug czar has kidnapped some local children to use as hostages, and Conner is the only one who can get them back. The problem is, every time she’s near Conner, passions run like wild fire. Little does she realize that she has more in common with him than she ever thought possible…and that their mission will awaken a love that will leave them both shaken by its intensity.

Review: What role do amateurs play in our relationship with science? This fascinating book looks at “outsider physicists,” those unique individuals whose far-out ideas clash with mainstream physics. People such as James Carter, a trailer-park owner in Washington state, whose theory of everything is based on Circlon Synchronicity—a mechanical model of the universe in which atoms consist of coiled, ring-like structures.
Come along to a gathering of the National Philosophy Alliance, where fringe physicists present their theories—each claiming the key to Ultimate Reality. Drawing parallels between these rebels and outsider artists, Physics on the Fringe by Margaret Wertheim inspires us to ponder the definition of science and our response to it.

A Rope and a Prayer


A Kidnapping From Two Sides
David Rohde
Publisher: Viking Penguin/Div. of Penguin Putnam, November 30, 2010
Review: In November 2008, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Rohde was kidnapped by the Taliban and spirited away to the tribal areas of Pakistan. He was held captive for seven grueling months.
In New York, Kristen Mulvihill—David’s wife of two months—was held hostage in her own way, struggling to make sense of the cruelty, paranoia and irrational demands of David’s captors as she negotiated for his release.
A Rope and a Prayer is the story of those seven months. Offering insight on the Taliban mindset, the role of religion as both a negative and positive force in the world, and the use of kidnapping as a terrorist tool, it is, in the end, a story of courage about two people who refused to give up in the face of insurmountable odds.

Two Tumultuous Years in Pakistan
Nicholas Schmidle
Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc., May 12, 2009
Review: Nicholas Schmidle takes readers on a fascinating and troubling journey through Pakistan’s rioting streets, sweeping across Taliban camps in the Northwest-Frontier Province and on unexpected adventures that provide a contemporary history of a country long driven by internal conflict.
To Live or to Perish Forever is rife with the intimacy and good humor that is the stock-in-trade of only the most fearless reporters. The prose ably articulates the turbulence and chaos of Pakistan’s recent violent history. Schmidle perfectly captures that point in time that found President Pervez Musharraf losing his powers and the Taliban finding their own—a period when many Americans began to realize Pakistan’s fate is inextricably tied to theirs.
In February 2006, Schmidle visited Pakistan in the hopes of putting a face on “the most dangerous country in the world.” There, he befriended a radical cleric (who was soon declared an enemy of the state and eventually murdered), came to enjoy the smell of tear gas (because it meant he was close to the action) and was deported by the Pakistani authorities—not once, but twice. This is suspenseful, timely reading that sheds new light on an all-too mysterious subject.

The Indifferent Stars Above


The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride
Daniel James Brown
Publisher: William Morrow & Co, Inc/Imp of Har., May 01, 2009
Review: In April of 1846, newlyweds Sarah Graves and Jay Fosdick took the journey west from Illinois with Sarah’s family, lured by California’s promise. But as summer wore on, the party fell further behind schedule and on August 16, they joined a wagon train headed by George Donner. This meticulously researched historical saga is told through the experiences of Sarah, who miraculously survived 33 days wandering in the Sierra Nevada.
Daniel James Brown’s The Indifferent Stars Above paints an unforgettable portrait of the heroism, heartbreak and horror of the infamous Donner party’s journey. Viewing the events through the lens of modern science, Brown compares Sarah’s experiences to other human ordeals of survival to understand why some live while others die. Modern readers will appreciate his use of modern biology and psychology to unearth the motivations and fatal miscalculations of these pioneers.
Brown takes his readers along for every painful footstep of Sarah’s journey. Along the way, he crafts a narrative that’s both spellbinding and richly informative. Armed with thorough research and a vibrant imagination, he masterfully brings to life one of the darkest pages in American pioneer history.

Tick Tock



James Patterson
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, January 24, 2011
Review: Rugged New York City Detective Michael Bennett comes roaring back in Tick Tock, the new page-turner from incomparable thrillmeister James Patterson.
Vacationing on the Irish Riviera—better known as Breezy Point, Queens—with his grandfather, his ten adopted kids and Mary Catherine, the nanny whom he’s growing very fond of, Detective Michael Bennett has no complaints. But fun in the sun, not to mention romance, isn’t in the cards when a bomb threat followed by a rash of coldly calculated murders sends Manhattan into chaos, and he’s called back to investigate.
The common thread between the killings seems to be Bennett himself, since the perp has left notes addressed to him at each crime scene. And they all say the same thing: “For Lawrence.” Working with FBI agent Emily Parker, a former colleague who’s not shy about her feelings, proves almost as troubling for Bennett as the baffling case. Yet a pattern soon emerges suggesting the vicious crimes are copycats of infamous killers from the past…and finding out “why” is of the essence. For as the clock ticks on, time is running out for Bennett’s family, still at the beach, alone and vulnerable…waiting for him to return.

Slavery's Constitution


From Revolution to Ratification
David Waldstreicher
Publisher: Hill & Wang, June 23, 2009
Review: The Constitution never directly mentions slavery; the word itself does not appear. And yet of the Constitution’s 84 clauses, six are directly concerned with slaves and their owners, and five others had implications for slavery that were considered and debated by the delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the citizens of the states during ratification. In Slavery’s Constitution, historian David Waldstreicher examines the effects of the slavery issue on the Revolution itself, on the framing of the Constitution and on the public ratification debate that followed.
Waldstreicher begins by exploring the role the politics of slavery played in the Revolution, explaining how the ruling of the English court in the famous case of the escaped Virginia slave James Somerset—a ruling narrowly in favor of the slave’s personal rights under the British constitution—made it clear to American slaveholders that they had as much to fear from English parliamentary sovereignty as tax-protesting American merchants did. With antislavery and American subjection going hand in hand, slavery itself propelled wealthy American planters toward revolution.
He then looks at how the framers discussed, bargained and agonized over slavery during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and shows how the compromises they reached welded together two dimensions of the politics of slavery: slavery as a form of governance over certain people, and slavery as an economic institution.
Waldstreicher also examines clause by clause how the Constitution took slavery into account, including the famous three-fifths clause that apportioned representatives and direct taxes by adding the whole number of free persons to three-fifths of “all other persons.” Those “other persons” were, of course, slaves, and Waldstreicher notes that this apportionment actually favored people who owned other people, giving slaveholders that much more control over the three-fifths more taxes they would pay. “In the new American order,” he observes, “taxation with representation and slavery were joined at the hip.
Finally, Waldstreicher outlines the debate to ratify the Constitution, and analyzes the appearance of slavery in The Federalist Papers. During ratification strikingly few people in the Deep South criticized the Constitution for being insufficiently pro-slavery, and Waldstreicher observes that the relative absence of debate on the topic in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia speaks volumes: the dominant planter classes were satisfied by what the Convention had produced.
In making the case that slavery was as important to the making of the Constitution as the Constitution was to the survival of slavery, Slavery’s Constitution is a provocative reassessment of the birth of our nation.

It's To Die For
James Patterson
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, June 29, 2009
Review: James Patterson lives up to his blockbuster-selling reputation as “America’s #1 storyteller” (Forbes) as he plunges into a heart-pounding new story of fear and desire in, of all places, paradise.
How could anything bad happen in Hawaii, wonders L.A. Times reporter Ben Hawkins when he arrives in the tropical Eden on earth, hot on the trail of a story that promises to be huge. It seems Syd, the breathtakingly gorgeous supermodel, was on a photo shoot here when she suddely vanished. Her grief-stricken parents, who are trying to investigate the inexplicable disappearance on their own, can’t give Ben more to go on than what he already has—zilch. But, as he’s counting on the case to give him the basis for his next bestseller, Ben digs in and digs on, getting nowhere fast. Frustrated by clues and leads that don’t pan out, Ben realizes he’s no closer to uncovering the kidnapper's identity than when he first stepped off the plane—until he gets a shocking visit that pushes him into an impossible-to-resist deal with the devil.
Impossible to put down, Swimsuit enters chilling new territory where the collision of beauty and murder transforms paradise into a hell of unspeakable horrors.

The Death of King Arthur


The Immortal Legend
Sir Thomas Malory
Publisher: Penguin Group USA, November 10, 2011
Review: Return to Camelot with this masterful retelling of the King Arthur story.
Although many versions of the tales of the Knights of the Round Table exist, Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory endures as the most moving and richly inventive. In this abridged retelling, the inimitable Peter Ackroyd breathes fresh excitement back into this classic book, masterfully translating Mallory’s 15th-century idiom into contemporary prose in a way that allows the essential story of Arthur and his knights to emerge more clearly while keeping all the majesty and pathos of the original intact. The claiming of the Sword in the Stone, the magic and machinations of Merlin, the quest for the Holy Grail, the love of Guinevere and Lancelot, the exploits of Tristan, the treachery of Mordred—all the great stories of Camelot are here, told anew with Ackroyd’s characteristic charm and panache.
Bringing one of the cornerstones of English literature to a whole new audience, The Death of King Arthur vividly brings to life a world of courage and chivalry, and of magic and majesty. If you’ve ever thrilled to the tales of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, you won’t want to miss this book.

The Science of a Good Marriage
Tara Parker-Pope
Publisher: Dutton, April 29, 2010
Review: In For Better, Tara Parker-Pope illuminates the extraordinary findings of researchers who have studied wedded folk to see how marriage works and what keeps it together. The results are amazing. We learn, for example, that the urge to stay true to your partner may rely less on wedding vows than on the level of certain hormones! And there’s more.
How does getting married affect the frequency with which a couple has sex? (The truth may surprise you.) Why do married people, on average, live longer than unmarried people? And how does body language—such as eye-rolling and seat-shifting—let researchers gauge which couples are most likely to break up? The answers prove that science plays a much larger role than you would ever imagine.

Review: George Dawes Green—the New York Times bestselling author of The Caveman’s Valentine and The Juror—returns with Ravens, a riveting work of psychological suspense that’s at once frightening, comic and utterly spellbinding.
When Shaw McBridge and Romeo Zderko pull up at a convenience store, they’re only planning to quickly fix up a leaky tire and then be on their way to Florida, far from the reality of their dull Ohio tech-support jobs. However, as fate would have it, the winning $318,000,000 jackpot ticket was just purchased by a local family at that very store. Shaw hatches an audacious scheme when a gullible clerk reveals to him the identity of the winners: He and Romeo are going to find the family and then squeeze them for half their prize.
That evening, Shaw visits their home, taking them hostage while the sinister Romeo patrols the streets nearby, ready to kill at the first sign of resistance. At first, the family offers none. But Shaw’s plan depends on maintaining constant fear—merciless, unfaltering terror—and soon, under the pressure, everyone’s sanity begins to unravel
This is an utterly compelling novel from a true master of suspense.
