Book Description
A lively and irresistible first novel about an overachieving teenage girl who discovers that, in order to get into the college of her dreams, she needs to have more fun. Since Opal's birth, the Mehtas have raised their only daughter with one goal in mind: to get into Harvard. They even concocted a rigorous game plan they called HOWGIH--How Opal Will Get Into Harvard. There were flowcharts, diagrams, and endless lists to track her progress. At 16, Opal is her high school's valedictorian, president of three honor societies, and first chair in the regional orchestra. She even took welding classes to appear well-rounded. Her admission to Harvard looks like a sure thing. But at Opal's interview with Harvard's Dean of Admissions, he sets aside her impressive resume and asks the one question she never saw coming: What do you like to do for fun? Opal flubs the interview, but the Dean offers her another chance--if she can show that she is more than her GPA. Opal and her parents respond to this setback with the same rigor, calculation, and focus they applied to creating the perfect academic resume, and design a whole new plan: HOWGAL--How Opal Will Get A Life. The Mehtas excel at anything they set their mind to, and Opal's calculated rise on her high school's social ladder--full of pop-culture cramfests, fashion makeovers, and a semester of nonstop partying--leaves Opal impossibly popular…and very confused. For the first time in her life, Opal finds herself asking two fundamental questions, "Who am I, and what do I love to do?" In this brilliant and outrageously funny debut novel, Opal's journey is a delight from the first page to the last.
Customer Reviews:
why was this book even written?.......2007-08-05
I read this book and intended to base my review on its contents alone, not the controversy. That's been played out enough.
I completely expected to hate it, but I didn't. I didn't particularly love it either. There were so many things in this book that were either improbable, impossible or bore a resemblence to every piece of teen lit/chick lit ever written. It was exactly like Mean Girls, except not as clever.
I haven't been a teenager for a while now, but none of it really rang true. How did Opal get so smart with all of fashion labels all of the sudden? And the ones she wears, like Moschino, are not ones girls her age would wear. Or even know about. Some of the other ones just seem really adult and not something a high school senior whould wear.
The dialogues were kind of stupid, contrived and sounded unnatural. It played into so many stereotypes. The popular girls are always bitches, the nerds are always nice and college is this great heaven away from high school. I found when I went to college, it really started getting complicated, but that wasn't the message in this book.
The only thing I liked were Opal's interactions with Sean. Those seemed like the most truthful. It seemed like there was a good book in there somewhere, struggling to get out.
I get it two stars because she at least tried. I could have easily gone off on her for the plagarizing, but like I said, that's already been done. Plagarism or not, I found this book contrived, unoriginal and horribly cliched.
Indian Version of 'Mean Girls'.......2007-07-07
This book reminded me so much of the movie 'Mean Girls' The popular girls are the Haute Bitchez instead of the Plastics and the main plot being the whole climbing up the social ladder, only to come falling down. Some parts of the book made me cringe as I read them, especially when the parents were involved in Opal's college aspirations and how ridicule far they were willing to go to get her into Harvard.
However, some parts of the novel made me reflect on my own life as a Indian-American college student--whose parents just like Opal's have tried to live their lives vicariously through me. I really enjoyed the chapter when she visits Harvard and that feeling of college being the stepping stone into a whole new world. I remember feeling the same exact things during my freshman year as I met new and exciting people who I had never had contact before.
To keep things short, if your parents have ever tried to force you to do anything (college, marriage, life in general) you should read this book. Who knows, it may give you a new perspective on things.
Unfairly maligned........2007-05-12
Kaavya Viswanathan, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life (Little, Brown, 2006)
Everyone remembers (at least, I hope you do-- it wasn't all that long ago) the Kaavya Viswanathan scandal, in which the entire literary world destroyed the reputation of a first-time author because a few sentences in a three-hundred-plus-page novel bore a good deal of similarity to a few sentences from another novel written by someone else. If nothing else, at least it taught the world how to spell "Kaavya Viswanathan." Otherwise, it's really too bad, because for chick lit, this really isn't too bad a book. I've read a bunch of chick lit-- certainly more than the quota for the average American male. And no one's ever going to mistake Opal Mehta for Eudora Welty (or, for that matter, William Faulkner), but this is as good an example of the genre as you're likely to find. For one thing, its protagonist is not obsessed with (and, perhaps, has never even heard the name of) Manolo Blahnik.
In fact, the protagonist knows nothing about fashion. Or culture. Or anything, really, except academics and welding. (Welding? Yes, welding.) She's a single-minded, driven straight-A student whose entire lifetime goal has been to get into Harvard. Well, anyway, that's the goal her parents have set for her, and she's just kind of followed along. But when her early-admission interview goes disastrously because she has no life outside academics, her parents devise a new plan: get Opal a life. Of course, this is related to the old plan of getting her into Harvard, but still, it's a pretty radical redefinition. And because of it, Opal starts to question not only her own motives, but those of everyone around her.
I get the feeling that those who have been trashing the novel on Amazon, usually with one-liners, fall into two camps: those who haven't read it and are shocked (shocked, I tell you!) at the fact that one writer would [...] another (I'm assuming you've all heard of Virgil, yes?), and those who managed to get all the way through high school without ever being embarrassed by their parents. To the latter camp, I salute you. (The former, I just scrape you off my shoe.) The rest of us, however, can identify all too well. Viswanathan has given us a good, solid character roster here, at least for her main characters. She even throws in a curve ball by having the leader of the popular clique at school not be a two-dimensional airhead. And you know what? You can't [...] characterization. You can try, but everything you didn't [...] won't hold up on its own. Kaavya Viswanathan has talent. And once the world has gotten over this ludicrous idea of "intellectual property," hopefully people will realize that. *** ½
Fun and easy read.......2007-03-06
While I will admit that this isn't the most intellectual book, it was funny, entertaining, and catchy. Those of you who like chick lit fashion books will enjoy this; those who don't, you shouldn't read it anyway!
Not That Bad.......2007-03-02
Yes, this book is getting slammed becuase of its alleged plagiarism, but come on. It wasn't that much. I love Megan McCafferty, but hers and Viswanathan's books AREN'T that alike. The plots are completely different. Although the book wasn't brilliantly written, it was funny and entertaining. So I give Kaavya credit for creating a fun story, even if some of the material wasn't hers. And she's only seventeen years old--she's got years ahead of her to improve and make a comeback if she truly wants to continue writing. Check this book out if you are a teenager and you want to have a fun, fluffy read.

Book Description
Give Canada’s Master Warrant Officer Jenny Casey an inch and she’ll take a galaxy. That’s just the kind of person a world on the brink of destruction needs. The year is 2063, and Earth has been brutalized. An asteroid flung at Toronto by the PanChinese government has killed tens of millions and left the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in its wake. Humanity must find another option....
Perched above the devastation in the starship Montreal, Jenny is still in the thick of the fray. Plugged into the worldwire, connected to a brilliant AI, her mind can be everywhere and anywhere at once. But it’s focused on the mysterious alien beings right outside her ship. Are they there to help–or destroy? With Earth a breeding ground for treason and betrayal as governments struggle to assign blame, Jenny holds the fate of humankind in her artificially reconstructed hand....
Download Description
Elizabeth Bear shares a birthday with Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. This, coupled with a tendency to read the dictionary as a child, doomed her early to penury, intransigence, friendlessness, and the writing of speculative fiction. She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, and grew up in central Connecticut with the exception of two years (which she was too young to remember very well) spent in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, in the last house with electricity before the Canadian border. She currently lives in the Mojave Desert near Las Vegas, Nevada, but she's trying to escape. Her recent and forthcoming appearances include: SCIFICTION, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, On Spec, H.P. Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror, Chiaroscuro, Ideomancer, The Fortean Bureau, Polish fantasy magazine Nowa Fantastyka, and the anthologies Shadows Over Baker Street (Del Rey, 2003) and All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories (Wheatland Press, 2004). She's a second-generation Swede, a third-generation Ukrainian, and a third-generation Transylvanian, with some Irish, English, Scots, Cherokee, and German thrown in for leavening. Elizabeth Bear is her real name, but not all of it. Her dogs outweigh her, and she is much beset by her cats.
From the Paperback edition.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-08-05
Big rock blast sacrifice aftermath.
In the wake of a large object being dropped on Canada from a very great height, the problems of the planet still remain, evne with the sacrifice of one of Jenny's pilot proteges to help ameliorate the damage. Space exploration is still vital, and Jenny Casey is considering her own expedition given her current position and materiel.
Luckily for the meat-based population of the planet, Richard Feynman is happy to use his basically now planet-sized brain resources to help with the rebuilding effort on the surface of the planet.
Political enemies who want things to stay as they are would really like to stop any successes Casey and her allies might be able to manage. Not all of them are human.
Again, a book that is tricky to sum up in a phrase, and well worth a look. It is perhaps even a bit better than the last two.
Lost!.......2006-07-15
I have not read the other books in this trilogy - in fact I only learned it was a trilogy by checking the reviews here on Amazon.
The book starts out in the middle of a thought, then before finishing the first one, proceeds to drop us smack in the middle of many other thoughts and conversations. Not nearly enough context is provided, so the reader is left trying to peice clues together, trying to decide whether there's anything here worth getting involved in.
I couldn't make the jump. After 64 pages, I have given up. In fairness to the author, I'll look for a copy of Hammered - maybe it works better if you start at the beginning.
Smashing conclusion to trilogy.......2006-04-06
"Worldwired" goes off, yet again in new direction. The three-part saga that in the author's "Hammered" seemed to be establishing itself as a cyberpunky "band of outlaws up against globalism and the corporations," but turned into an international thriller cum space opera in "Scardown," now adds a first-contact puzzle thread to the proceedings. (And a spectacular scene at the United Nations.)
This time out Jenny Casey takes more of a supporting role (although she gets plenty of action) as Richard, the super-intelligent artificial intelligence, moves front and center here. Certainly, he is the one who keeps all the plotlines together. But Jenny herself gets plenty of chapters in which to tell her part of the story in her wisecracky first-person-present style.
The author brings back the characters who survived the first two tales, and tosses in a few more (she puts a few of the returnees essentially on hold for a while, but do not fret, because she plugs them in when they're needed again), and once again uses her jagged multiple pov style. There's plenty of action here, but you have to resist the temptation to gobble down the pages, because if you do, you won't have the time to relish Ms. Bear's fine-honed prose style.
I hope that Ms. Bear will return to this "universe" she's created, although advertisements at the back of the book would seem to indicate that in her next novel she intends to go in another direction. No matter. I'll travel that road with her.
A fine wrap up.......2006-01-03
The end of the trilogy is by far the best book of the series, in contrast to most multi book novels, which typically start strong, and limp to an end. Not that the first two books are at all weak. The first book "Hammered" is very strong, with many absorbing characters, but the second, "Scarsdown" is, perhaps due to the extigicies of editing, a little compacted for easy reading.
This work could easily have been expanded to four books, but that's the publisher's decision, not Ms. Bear's
Totally worthwhile and expansive read, with quite a bit of moral and social commentary between the lines. A very dense but readable debut into Scienece Fiction, and i cant wait for her next work. Anybody who thinks SF is not a mature field is urged to read Elizabeth Bear.
A Satisfying Conclusion to a Good Series.......2005-12-31
Although (luckily for us) there appears to be plenty of room for sequels, Ms. Bear brings a nice wrap to an essentially self-contained arc of what feels like a much larger story. Although (speaking as a male reader) some--not all--of the male characters seemed a bit flat, the star of the show, Jenny Casey, is one of the best and deepest female heroines I have come across in ages. This is good, character-centered writing, and it's good sf, with a sense of scope and scale that push the genre forward, without requiring too great a suspension of disbelief.
I liked all three of these (HAMMERED and SCARDOWN are the previous novels in the series), and look forward to reading more from Elizabeth Bear.
Book Description

They propose circle basics, such as listening without an agenda and rotating leadership, and also offer reflections on the power of personal storytelling and thoughts on reclaiming and reinventing ritual. Women longing for a powerful and supportive feminine community in which to thrive spiritually will find vital wisdom here.
Customer Reviews:
Real.......2007-02-26
I really like this book, it gives a honest look at womens circles and gives a fantastic template that anyone could, and in my opinon should use. Having been a member of some of these groups myself I can tell you problems always arise. You can work them out the hard way, but why try to invent your own mouse trap when a great one already exists. These ladies have clearly been around the circle block so to speak. I say learn from what you can from their experence, and take the advise of other groups that work. It should be a reference book for any circle.
Forning a Circle Without Nervousness.......2006-02-23
I wanted to start a Women's Spirituality Group but I never started any kind of group. I was not sure where to begin and that is where Sacred Circles came into play. I read the book, highlighted what I felt was important and then followed the suggestions. Sacred Circles walked me through step-by-step with the planning. It suggested how to run the first meeting and ideas for future meetings. After I told my friend about the book and she read some of it, she agreed to be my partner. This was the most informing book that I found on the subject. It took the edge off a new endeavor.
Sacred Circles.......2006-02-19
Our lives are our story and our story is our life. What a great sentence. I've always felt that sometimes our children have lacked connection to their past by not living near relatives or grandparents, as families have had tendency to spread out across the country in the last few decades. This book really looks at how important "The telling" is of what we would even describe as the simplist story....what was my mom like growing up as a child? what did she do for fun? our own family history is so important and we forget to pass that on sometimes. This book is wonderful in bringing that back into focus and encouraging us to share those stories, with our children AND our friends. This is a great read!
An Excellent Guide.......2002-04-11
If you are thinking about forming a women's circle with an emphasis on spirituality, this is an excellent guide. There are helpful how-to suggestions, principles and examples. It is deservedly listed as a resouce on the millionthcircle,org website.
Excellent resource - very thorough.......2001-03-04
This book has it all if you want to start your own group. Easy to read, fleshes out every aspect needed to get a group going, and spiritually thougtht-provoking. A friend and I have begun our own group as a direct result of this book. Particularly helpful was a chapter offering fully planned out meetings (theme and alter suggestions, readings, group activity options). It's all mapped out. It also has lists of other resources that are available to support woman's groups (books, videos, music, web sites, etc.)
Book Description
Cooking in baked-clay ovens dates back to images found on wall paintings in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the Indian version-tandoor-can rightly claim to be one of the world's oldest methods of cooking. In this definitive work on the subject, expert Ranjit Rai presents over 70 recipes covering virtually every lamb, fish, poultry and kebab dish prepared in this ancient style. It has a section on breads, and also includes a number of vegetarian dishes, as well as comprehensive listings of marinades and tenderizers, chutneys and relishes. Prefacing each recipe is a detailed background on its history and provenance (as well as some generous sampling from various ancient cooking sutras).
Tandoor is above all designed for easy use, and all recipes are presented clearly and many are accompanied by beautiful full color photographs. This is the last word on this wonderful and very popular cuisine.
Customer Reviews:
Superb collection of orginal recipes!.......2005-07-04

Book Description
Antique Typewriters Office Collectibles teaches readers to properly identify and evaluate what they have, in terms collectors can understand. In addition to typewriters, the highly collectible ribbon tins are given a special section. The nearly 400 full-color photographs allow you to recognize good machines, learn the differences among models, and distinguish the worthless from the valuable.1997 values. AUTHORBIO: Darryl Rehr is a professional journalist who began collecting typewriters in 1984. Antique Typewriters and Office Collectibles is Rehr's first book-length work in the field, but he has written extensively on the subject for almost two decades. He has been editor of ETCetera, the journal of the Early Typewriter Collectors Association. REVIEW: This identification guide offers a broad view of historical typewriters for anyone who is interested. Specifically, it tries to teach readers how to talk to typewriter collectors about the details of machines which may otherwise seem impossible to describe.
Customer Reviews:
Great Pictoral Guide But..........2003-04-04
Both veteran and beginners alike will enjoy Darryl Rehr's book on antique typewriters. The best feature is of course the pictures that are generally very crisp and in color. The short descriptions of each model are useful as well. This work is a handy reference, and after collecting typewriters for twenty years, I find myself always referring to it. However, as with most collector books of this type, one must use the information contained here with some reservation. For instance, nothing is footnoted, and that is a particular problem if one wishes to check information when performing research. Footnotes are sometimes the most interesting feature of a work because they can provide useful cross-references and leads to other sources that one may not have thought of. The second problem, and again this is to be expected with most collector's books, is that the prices cited for scarcer items are inaccurate even for 1997. Typewriters may not be as popular as baseball cards or antique furniture, but there is an international market for them to which prices are set. In fact, one typewriter listed as worth $5,000.00 was actually, in 1997 prices, worth at least $15,000.00 and in today's market valued between $20,000.00 and $33,000.00! My point here is that though this work is useful, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject, buyers should be aware that this is only a guide and that if he or she has a typewriter to sell, it may be wise to check beyond these pages and contact the many collectors out there for accurate pricing information (like the ones listed in the acknowledgements section at the front of the book).
In regards to prices.......2002-11-22
I thought this book was great, regarding some complaints about price guide: It is impossible to place a standard market value on typewriters. why? 1) the market is far too small, they are not like baseball cards or comic books
2) there are only a few that are actually considered rare, i cannot tell you how many olivers or underwoods i've seen listed as: "very rare"
prices are are determined by the individual collector. example:
i happen to like the old maroon portables, mainly royals, this means that to me they are worth more than say the more rare royal flat-bed. they are, however far from "rare".
there were something like 600,000 underwood no.5's made.
most of them seem to be around...
a wonderful book if you like typewriters.......2000-09-19
WHO WOULD WANT THIS BOOK
Anyone that like typewriters, is nostalgic about them, collects them or can't afford to collect them (space-wise or money-wise). This lovely book contains pictures and brief descriptions of old typewriters -- there are many beautiful and crisp photos and some brief descriptions. There's also a small appendix with other office machines (calculators, pencil sharpeners, etc).
WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THIS BOOK
The pictures. Definitely the pictures. I could never tire looking at them.
WHAT'S NOT NICE ABOUT THIS BOOK
It's hard to criticise what is clearly a work of love. Some people mentioned that the prices are off. But I would like to focus on other aspects; Perhaps some of these can be fixed in further editions:
- There's very little treatment of foreign typewriters. This is a pity because different languages posed different mechanical challenges to typewriter manufacturers and it's nice to see how they overcame those difficulties. It's also nice to see other alphabets. :)
- It would have been nice to include a sample of the text produced by each typewriter. Just to see the various typefaces. An index of typefaces/typewriters and their samples could have been nice to have as an appendix, so that people could match samples they have (old letters, notes, etc) with the typewriters that could have possibly been used to write them.
- A bit more prose -- a more thorough description of the mechanical aspects of these machines would have been a nice thing to have.
Useful Reference For Typewriter and Office Item Collectors.......1999-11-20
175 pages with more than 400 beautiful, sharp, full color photos of everything from typewriters to ribbon tins, early calculators, pencil sharpeners, and more. Gives the history of typewriters, information on rating conditions, restoring and shipping typewriters. A very interesting and useful reference. The value guide prices could be updated, but the basic information presented is still very helpful.
A definitive guide for collectors........1998-10-29
"Antique Typewriters & Office Collectibles" is an essential guide for both the serious and casual collector. Hundreds of beautiful color photographs allow for quick identification of different brands and models while the text provides interesting histories. The only flaw concerns the pricing guide, which is reliable in terms of relative (but not actual) values. Many of the typewriters pictured are currently selling for upwards of five times the prices quoted by Mr. Rehr. (For example, I recently sold a model valued at $10 by the book for more than $60.)
Without "Antique Typewriters," however, the universe of typewriter collecting would be even more chaotic than it already is. Highly recommended.

Book Description
Art is Work, lavishly illustrated with more than 500 full-color reproductions, is a comprehensive overview of legendary designer Milton Glaser's rich and varied oeuvre, a dazzling array of iconic work on well-known products, ranging from newspapers and magazines to toys, textiles, restaurant interiors, supermarkets, posters, album covers, and much, much more. An illuminating text accompanying these images offers a rare glimpse into his personal artistic philosophy and working methods. Art is Work reflects Milton Glaser's abundant gifts and is a fitting manifestation itself of the talents of one of the powerful and creative forces in design today.
Customer Reviews:
Great for Students.......2002-03-24
Milton Glaser has rightly been called a genius. With the exception of some printing issues (the only reason this doesn't get 5 stars), this is a great book. Besides cataloguing much of Glaser's work, the interviews and pieces which show the progression of his work are amazing. I'd highly recommend this to ANYONE involved in teh creative process, but especially to students who may not fully realize how the creative process can play out (and scoffs at the idea of multiple sketches and comps)
Glaser a genius, all designers need this.......2001-05-20
I'd have rated it 5 stars save that the printer (I returned my first copy) has a few blotches and splotches here and there; not terrible, just improper). Milton Glaser was called a genius when he was inducted into the NY Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. He is! His conceptions are powerful and creative. His control of many illustration media, of typography from various eras and modes of thought, of decorative matter, his ability to endlessly combine them, are a lesson to experienced designers, illustrators, and art directors, and a stimulus to those who get by on a few cheap tricks. The work is gorgeous, the text is instructional, the overall effect energizing. Buy it.
Magnificent!.......2000-12-06
From his famous Dylan poster to the iconic "I Love New York" logo, Glaser is probably (with the exception of Saul Bass and Paul Rand) the most recognized graphic designer of the 20th century.
Glaser is a true renaissance man- blending illustration, graphic design, signage and interior design. His work today still resonates and vibrates with the same intensity and passion as his days with the Pushpin era.
With his latest book, Milton Glaser once again proves he is the maestro of design and illustration. It is filled with case studies, personal captions and wonderful illustrations and photographs of his work.
Whether you are a student or a professional-buy this book. It will truly inspire you.
