Historia5 out of 5 stars 209
Set in the vibrant fourteenth century of Chaucer and the Black Death, the story features knights fighting in battle, serfs struggling in poverty, and the magnificent Plantagenets—Edward III, the Black Prince, and Richard II—who rule despotically over a court rotten with intrigue. Within this era of danger and romance, John of Gaunt, the king’s son, falls passionately in love with the already-married Katherine. Their affair persists through decades of war, adultery, murder, loneliness, and redemption.

The authenticity of the heroine at all phases of life
Revisado: 04-23-25
I liked the love story of course. But the illustrations of the times through words was fantastic. The reader really gets to see life as it was back then. I was also impressed with Catherine”s ability to take criticism and look at it, think about it and change her views if the new info made sense.

Mikael Blomkvist is trying to reach Lisbeth Salander—the fierce, unstoppable girl with the dragon tattoo. He needs her help unraveling the identity of a man who died with Blomkvist's phone number in his pocket—a man who does not exist in any official records and whose garbled last words hinted at knowledge that would be dangerous to important people. But Lisbeth has disappeared. She's sold her apartment in Stockholm. She's gone dark. She's told no one where she is. And no one is aware that at long last she's got her primal enemy, her twin sister, Camilla, squarely in her sights.

Lagercrantz excels again!
Revisado: 07-29-20
Ever since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I have been reading the Lisbeth Salander stories. I love the details, the actions, the suspense, the interweaving of relationships and stories. Lagercrantz has continued Larson’s style and voice, so Lisbeth continues to live on—much to the enjoyment of me and other readers.

Hailed by The New York Times as "a marvel of storytelling", The Things They Carried’s portrayal of the boots-on-the-ground experience of soldiers in the Vietnam War is a landmark in war writing. Now, three-time Emmy Award winner-Bryan Cranston, star of the hit TV series Breaking Bad, delivers an electrifying performance that walks the book’s hallucinatory line between reality and fiction and highlights the emotional power of the spoken word.

The stark reality of war!
Revisado: 04-09-18
What made the experience of listening to The Things They Carried the most enjoyable?
No sugar coating on this story! The deepest emotions of men in battle described with brutal honesty.
What did you like best about this story?
The intimate portrait of the men in his unit.
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene that cut most to my core was his struggle with going to Canada and succumbing to his cowardice.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt a deep sorrow for anyone who must live through the horrors of war--what it does to them physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I often cried as I empathized with their struggles.

Do you want to really experience combat? Throw away the war books on strategy and tactics and read this one.

A must read for parents of girls and every girl
Revisado: 04-09-18
What made the experience of listening to Play Big the most enjoyable?
The humility and authenticity of the author`
What other book might you compare Play Big to and why?
Same premises as Landmark Forum, for taking responsibility for your life and being open to limitless possibilities.
Which scene was your favorite?
Story of not being picked up full time by Arizona as coach. The grace and dignity that Jen accepted this was admirable. I could feel her disappointment, then saw her not only rise above it but soar above it. A truly remarkable woman.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Jen got it right--"Play Big!"
Any additional comments?
This book is a guide to raising girls or growing up in today's society as a girl, with the focus being on growing up as a PERSON with limitless possibilities, just by being authentic and who you are at the core. So many golden nuggets of information to keep in your hip pocket.
