Isaacson can really combine a superb subject matter with information and entertainment. His character, Benjamin Franklin, was a thinker with a broad democratic sensibility, representing a tradition in politics which gives importance to pragmatism over moral ism and social mobility over class privilege. He pokes fun of the modern day fundies and creationists many a times, and mostly in ways they cannot comprehend. Contradictory to the image of an old man with a wire trim glass with his hair combed over, and the famous picture of a man flying a kite in a thunderstorm, Isaacson portrays the amazing depth and breadth of this man.

I’ve got this book about a year ago. Still read and re read it. Nita Engle gives you an unusual, fantastic and very fresh look at the world. She also asks a very important question: what would you do if you really could express your self in Art without having any difficulties? This question, and the answer, was improtant for me. When i’m getting tired from my mistakes i simply open this book and remind myself that watercolor has endless possibilities and will give me lot’s of happy hours… in the future. I only regret that the artist doesn’t have any video’s. Read More
Excellent as excellent can be.
Three good reasons to read it:
1. nice descriptions of inter-familiar relationships, and how one sibling’s strengths end up being taken as the others weakness;
2. only-in-your-dreams Luke, Rachel’s all supportive boyfriend (oh, my, but what a lucky girl!);
3. light though convincing picture of addiction and coming to terms with it.
Definitely worth it if you are looking for a complete and fulfilling read about family relationships, and how apparently normal and ordinary relations can get someone as nice as Rachel in trouble from an early beginning, and out of it when she finally perceives herself as her main North. Well-paced character development, makes you change your mind about all of them as you read along. Great read.
