When Dr. Will Cooke, an idealistic young physician just out of medical training, set up practice in the small rural community of Austin, Indiana, he had no idea that much of the town was being torn apart by poverty, addiction, and life-threatening illnesses. But he soon found himself at the crossroads of two unprecedented health-care disasters: a national opioid epidemic and the worst drug-fueled HIV outbreak ever seen in rural America. Confronted with Austin’s hidden secrets, Dr. Cooke decided he had to do something about them.

Great Book !
Revisado: 06-30-21
This is a terrific book about a young doctor dealing with a tragedy all too common in many American communities. It involves drug addiction, an HIV epidemic, deaths of despair and vast numbers of people living in poverty with little hope.
Canary in the Coal Mine complements the book Tightrope by Nicholas Kristof. While Kristof focuses on these issues from a national perspective, Dr. Cooke focuses on a single small town in mid-America. Both books address the failure of the War on Drugs and the damage to many American families.
Dr. Cooke talks about spirituality a good deal and the need have more than faith alone. He focuses on the need to do good works, not just for the neighbor, but for the stranger, too.
Canary in the Coal Mine tells a tragic story, but one filled with inspiration and hope. Bob Siegmann

Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo, the brilliant hacker, the obstinate outsider, the volatile seeker of justice for herself and others - even she has never been able to uncover the most telling facts of her traumatic childhood, the secrets that might finally fully explain her to herself. Now, when she sees a chance to uncover them once and for all, she enlists the help of Mikael Blomkvist, the editor of the muckraking investigative journal Millennium. And she will let nothing stop her.

Where is Lisabeth Salander?
Revisado: 09-24-17
An interesting plot but the book is not nearly as exciting as the three originals. Part of the reason may be that Lisabeth is not in most of the scenes.

Harold Bloom explores our Western literary tradition by concentrating on the works of twenty-six authors central to the Canon. He argues against ideology in literary criticism; he laments the loss of intellectual and aesthetic standards; he deplores multiculturalism, Marxism, feminism, neoconservatism, Afrocentrism, and the New Historicism. Insisting instead upon "the autonomy of aesthetic," Bloom places Shakespeare at the center of the Western Canon.....

A true master of literature

This is a wonderful book. Bloom is terrific except that overdoes his complaints about diversity and technology. For lovers of literature the canon continues to be important.

One night, Peter Lake - orphan, master-mechanic, and master second-story man - attempts to rob a fortress-like mansion on the Upper West Side. Though he thinks the house is empty, the daughter of the house is home. Thus begins the affair between the middle-aged Irish burglar and Beverly Penn, a young girl who is dying. Because of a love that at first he cannot fully understand, Peter, a simple and uneducated man, will be driven "to stop time and bring back the dead".

Disappointing.

His worst book. Way too long. First 1/3rd is excellent, but the rest is a serious
waste of time.
