I knew before I boarded this sailboat that it would take a lot for a collection of columns to "wow" me. In my estimation, many essay anthologies are the book-equivalent of eating cotton candy. When the pleasant taste fades, you wonder if you really had anything to eat. Having said that, the talented author of "Marley & Me" can be credited for serving up a diversified mix of topics. A handful of columns are thought-provoking and even inspiring. But in the end, I'm simply not a fan of essay collections. Note to self: skip future column anthologies unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From John Grogan, author of theNew York Times bestsellersBad Dogs Have More Fun,Marley and Me, andThe Long Way Home, comes a new collection of more than eighty newspaper articles from thePhiladelphia Inquirer written when he was a columnist there. In Life Is Like A Sailboat, John Grogan shows us all sides of the human condition--pieces that reflect his unique understanding of the crazy-quilt world we inhabit. From the fragility of life almost gone in an instant at a crosswalk, to avoiding the shoals of adolescence, to cell phones driving us to distraction (as we drive!), to turning the tables on telemarketers, to the Iraq War coming home to a small town in Pennsylvania--these pieces are filled with insight and sensitivity, laced with humor and understanding. In his own very unique way, John Grogan makes all of us feel more connected to each other and less like strangers living in a strange land. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
