Book Review: Job's Year by Joseph Hansen

Job's Year by Joseph Hansen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a difficult read for me. I found the protagonist too aloof and a bit holier-than-those-around-him (which wasn't exactly misplaced--he was surrounded by some lousy people)...It kept me from empathizing too strongly.

I'm going to sound back-ass-ward here, but I have previously tried to read examples of the author's Tarzan stories and his John Carter series. I made it through neither book. This book however, I found to be quite a page-turner. Much is said, both in...more

Ok, so now I have a small crush on Matt Taibbi. This book was hilarious. I suppose I had heard of Taibbi before--I'm a bit of a political junkie--but this is his first book I've read. He conveyed a great voice, with sarcasm (and scorn) but also sympat...more

Pullman makes a topical move from maligning The Church to maligning Big Business. I'm a pretty big Pullman fan, altho I have stated several times I hated The Amber Spyglass... This book was like a warm fuzzy thing. Perfect to take to bed and read bene...more

This read like a long (very long) introduction to some other book which never seemed to materialize. And the animosity to the "new atheists" (as he kept referring to Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, et al) had me wondering if they threw a party and neglect...more
