Saturday Review of Books: February 10, 2007

Categories:

General, Saturday Reviews

by Sherry

Critics sometimes appear to be addressing themselves to works other than those I remember writing.
—Joyce Carol Oates

Welcome to this week’s Saturday Review of Books. Here’s how it works. Find a review on your blog posted sometime this week of a book you’re reading or a book you’ve read. The review doesn’t have to be a formal sort of thing. You can just write your thoughts on a particular book, a few ideas inspired by reading the book, your evaluation, quotations, whatever.

Now post a link here to the specific post where you’ve written your book review. Don’t link to your main blog page because this kind of link makes it hard to find the book review, especially when people drop in later after you’ve added new content to your blog. In parentheses after your name, add the title of the book you’re reviewing. This addition will help people to find the reviews they’re most interested in reading.

    I really enjoyed Silas Marner. I have started a Friday Foreign Film Review also if anyone is interested. http://3mreviews.blogspot.com

    I’ve linked to two this week. The first is about two readalouds I’m just finishing up with my students, and the second is another Philippa Gregory historical novel. This one, The Constant Princess, is about Katherine of Aragon.

    Sherry,

    thanks for rounding us up!

    This week, I’m pointing to our discussion of Rachna Gilmore’s book “Lights for Gita”, a touching story about a young girl’s first Divali in sleety, grey Canada.

    Enjoy,
    Andrea

    The book I reviewed this week is non-fiction and details how pc attitudes regarding homosexuality, abortion, and premarital sex trap the teens and young adults who buy into them, and make a train wreck of their current *and* future lives. The effects are lasting….

    I had a bunch of reviews this week, but picked the one that seems most popular – Bread and Roses, Too, by Katherine Paterson. Have a great weekend!

    Katharine Graham’s Personal History was one of my Winter Reading Challenge selections. Finished it in December–so the reading was on time!–but just got around to completing my review.
