Living in a house with five dogs I found myself laughing at the doggie humor in Home is Where the Bark Is. I have to say I rather enjoyed this book. One thing Serena knows is the moment Nick came into her shop is that things are going to be getting fairly hairy quite soon just how hairy Serena could never guess. Nick is way too masculine of man for a fru fru dog like Bessie. Nick Oakley and Bessie are the weirdest dog-child and human pairing Serena has seen since she started her business. Therefore she is determined to make sure her new client stays, and when he does it’s for more than one reason. Lately a lot of her clients have been pulling out due to “financial troubles”. The case has just entered a direction Nick was not planning on heading in. So armed with his aunt’s Yorkie Poo Bessie and his determination to crack the case, Nick enters “Paws-A-While” only to come face to face with the loveliest woman he has ever faced. Nick is convinced, since many of the recent victims have been clients of the business, that there has to be a connection. His job is to investigate the owner for possible identity theft. A recently retired FBI agent and new private investigator, Nick’s newest case has sent him to the “Paws-A-While” doggie day care and spa. It’s a doggie dog world out there and no-one is learning this better than Nick Whalen.

He stamps around the room, kicking the furniture and shouting. It’s the truth, even though I know, right now, he doesn’t believe me. “‘When I wake up, she is gone.’ That’s what I tell him, over and over. This is an amazing book with a really good story, I would recommend it to anyone who likes the works of Francesca Lia Block, or suffers with an eating disorder or family problems.' I happened upon this book because it was one of the few I hadn't read in the section I wandered into. 'An Amazing Mistake: I was leaving for a family vacation, so as usual I stopped by the book store and library. Īnd my favorite review from Alison from Canada who wrote on Amazon: With everything to gain and nothing to lose Carmen starts to ask: if she were thin, very thin, could it all be different?Īnd here's a blog I wrote recently about the book. Carmen finds her old life disappearing - her home, her friends and her father. Carmen knows the comfort of forbidden food. But with a long list of failed diets behind her and a mountain of empty wrappers under the bed. Weight is a big issue in Carmen's life - not surprising when her mother is obsessed with dieting and is determined that her daughter will be thin. Underwater the machines have attached themselves to the fish and moved from the island to the mainland, attacking the humans. Enemy planes sunk the ship carrying the prototypes for the walking machines, which ran entirely on the gas. Infection by the germ produced large amounts of foul-smelling gas from body tissue, and since infection quickly killed the test animals, walking machines were built to carry them further, allowing them to reach and sicken enemy troops. Later, it is found that the Japanese Army was researching germs that produce the death stench during World War II in a desperate effort to turn the tide of the war. Germs infecting the rotting body produce a gas - responsible for the terrible smell that surrounds the creatures - that makes the metal construct move. The creatures are eventually revealed to consist of a small metallic, legged structure with the carcass of a dead animal (and later, human) strapped on top. At first they appear merely as smaller fish, but later also as larger sea creatures such as sharks and even a whale. The plot of Gyo centers around the "death stench", a revolting smell first encountered in connection with creatures appearing to be bizarre fish with scuttling, sharp metal legs. After all, the Gospel according to John says that God is love. When Lewis set out to explore love in his work, he figured it’d be fairly straightforward. One subject that fascinated him was love. He used writing as a way to meditate on and explore different aspects of Christianity. If you’ve read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and you’re familiar with Christianity, you won’t need anyone to point out how allegorical the story is.īut Lewis didn’t just explore his faith through novels about magical wardrobes and lions that rise from the dead. This return to the church had a huge impact on Lewis’s writing. Tolkien was deeply religious and his faith inspired Lewis to renew his relationship with God after he’d abandoned Christianity in his teens. They met while they were working in the English faculty at Oxford University and were two of the founding members of Inklings – a renowned literary discussion group.

Dylan Evans, Evening Standard, September 10, 2002Įvery once in a while, a book comes along that compels us to change our minds about the world. Pinker's prose sweeps the reader along effortlessly, despite the complexity and sheer size of the intellectual territory he covers. Grayling, Literary Review, September 2002Ī remarkable and powerful book. Given the importance of the questions he discusses, his book is required reading. Pinker's case is convincing and cogent, and he does a service in presenting the arguments, and the associated scientific evidence, in such an accessible fashion. Simon Blackburn, New Scientist, September 5, 2002 But Pinker manages it, while never compromising on the point that good morals and politics need to acknowledge the truth about human beings as they are, rather than how we might like them to be. It is difficult to be morally sensitive while treading on people's dreams. It is enjoyable, informative, clear, humane and sensible. The Blank Slate is brilliant in several dimensions. Mark Ridley, The Times (London), September 4, 2002. I agree with his main position, and admire the way he defends it. He keeps his writing alive with humour, stories, cartoons, and one-liners from the movies. Pinker is a fluent writer, superb at explaining difficult ideas for general readers.
