The Dangerous Book for Boys by Conn Iggulden and Hal Iggulden
The Dangerous Book for Boys

MsLizB, July 3, 2007

I bought this for my 8-year-old grandson. He has enjoyed parts of it, but his father has read it cover-to-cover. The entries are short enough and the topics are mixed-up enough so that I expect something new will catch the fancy of a boy, while he's checking out something that he's already interested in.

Suite Francaise: A Novel by Irene Nemirovsky
Suite Francaise: A Novel

MsLizB, July 3, 2007

Knowing the fate of the author makes this book almost unbearably poignant. The developing relationships and understanding between the French and German "enemies" and the sometimes-deteriorating relationships of each group speaks strongly to the absurdity of war based on cultural, ethnic, and religious differences -- indeed, all wars, while at the same time showing the strength, and power to sustain, of human relationships.
