Temiz yazılmış, ilgi çekici ve güncel. Büyük Diverjanstan çok daha iyi. Irak Savaşı'na katılarak ABD'nin Çin konusunda kendini nasıl vurduğunu da içeriyor. Afganistan'ın işgali ile kurduğumuz ittifaklarımızı sürdürseydik, Prusya'ya benzer bir güç dinamiği olurdu. Ancak kendimizi fazla genişlettik ve şimdi Çin barışçıl rızasına hazır. ABD yaşam standardı zaten diğer üçüncü dünya ülkelerinin sömürülmesini gerektirdiğinde, bu kadar kalabalık bir ülkenin yaşam standardını nasıl artırabileceğini görmek ilginç olacak. Çin ve kapitalist dünya sisteminin gerektirdiği sonsuz sermaye birikimi uyumlu mu?

Bu kitaplık raflarımızdan bir "yetim" kitap. İyi gözden geçirilmiş ama insan arkadaşlığı olmadan çok zaman geçti. Buna dikkat edebilmeyi umuyorum.

An easy, light read but not as good as Baby Proof. Still didn't like Darcy all that much by the end of the book.

I got this book through the Barnes and Noble Book Club and really thought I was going to enjoy it. I'm the right age and education level to blend right in with these characters, and yet I felt not one ounce of connection to any of them. The book was long and frequently tedious, and characters veered off on major life diversions with never a hint of the underlying motivations. I was extremely disappointed with this novel and didn't feel the narrative spoke to me at all. These characters seemed to revel in immaturity, and the endless posing was exhausting to read. I felt like every character was a negative stereotype of one age or another, and they therefore never rang true to me. I had a really hard time with this book; the more I read, the less I liked it and the less connection I felt to the characters. I believe that Lil's wedding should have marked the transition to maturity, but none of these characters ever seem to actually mature. This is my generation, and I would hate to think that any of my friends resembled these folks... I definitely found the characters mired in perpetual adolescence, and apparently unable to recognize that fact. Getting married and having babies doesn't make you an adult, and I feel these characters were all hiding their immaturity behind the trappings of adulthood. The ending was rushed despite my belief that the book is way too long. My constant feeling while reading was that we were missing too much- too many decisions and actions without any explanations. I think that helped contribute to my feelings of separation from the characters. I couldn't even summon up any sympathy for Lil when she died, and can't see how these people can be considered a group of "friends" given how they act toward one another.

This was the first book Gabriel read. I like that it rhymes. I like the pictures. I like the front of it and the back of it. And I like it because it shows me how to plant seeds and plant trees.
