THIS REALLY WORKS, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP UP WITH IT. IT GETS DOWN AND DOES A GREAT JOB!!! I OWN A GOLDEN RETRIEVER AND IT DOES A GREAT JOB.
What Is Columbus Day

It’s absolutely wonderful to travel with. Always a paperback at hand. Although this time we are not on a bicycling trip to far away (where half the luggage used to be made of books), it still is great to be able to have lots of books with you and travelling light.

While I was hesitating between the small and the large version, I am very happy with the small one. Fits in my handbag. Never without a book. And if that happens, just pick and download a new one. I am going to use it daily while commuting to work (by train). I also considered an e-reader which would be able to read Dutch books. However, the selection at Amazon is immense compared to what the Dutch market has to offer: the decision was made very quickly.

I am also very impressed with the Kindle service. After having an issue with my Kindle, a new one arrived within a couple of days.

The only thing I miss is that I cannot pass on the book after I’ve finished it. This is what I did with the paper books, and if that would be possible (even with loosing it from my own library) that would be great. No more book exchanges at travel spots, which is kind of sad.

Yet, more ups than downs. I am totally happy with it.

The Day The Sky

I had a hard time putting this book down, not because it was action packed or particularly fast paced, but because the development, sincerity and engaging voice of the main character at both stages of his life was refreshingly flawless. The voice remains true and believable throughout the entire narrative and is well developed giving me a clear picture of who Jacob Jankowski is and why I should care. Because this is achieved, I am fully invested in his world and experiences. Like wise, the supporting characters are dynamic and interesting, but even given their deformities, whether physical or psychologically, they never over shadow the main character.

The book provokes thoughts on treatment and intelligence of animals, economy, marriage, class, race, healthcare, friendship and family. As well as, it forces us to take a hard look at how our culture deals with the elderly.

“Sometimes the monotony of bingo and sing-alongs and ancient dusty people parked in the hallway in wheelchairs makes me long for death. Particularly when I remember that I’m one of the ancient dusty people, filed away like some worthless tchotchke.”

If I had to give a ‘con’ to the book, it would be toward the ending when the author simplifies Jacob’s journey with a ‘run away with the circus’ solution. However, this does not disappoint and in a way is the logical path and most appropriate ending given the character’s circumstances and alternative. It is the happiest it can get.
