I have read this three times, first in 1991, again in 1998 and, most recently, in 2005. It is one of those books that I think that I should like better than I do, so I keep trying it to see if it sticks this time. The Franny story draws me in, but I just can't engage with the Zooey story (which is most of the book).(less)

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read it about half a dozen times and, every time I do, it comes across as different. The only problem when I read it and visualize the characters, they look like the actors that portrayed them in the 80s film version of the book, which now strikes me as a lame adaptation.(less)

This is a collection of very readable technical descriptions of a variety of topics relating to digital video that also goes into the analog technologies as well as characteristics of human perception that influenced the creation of the digital video systems. It is a "technical" introduction, so there is a lot of math that you need to understand to really figure out what the author is saying. However, given the technical depth of the book, it is probably the easiest to read presentation of this material that I have ever seen.(less)

OK, this review is biased by the topic. The Type 25 and 33 are my favorite of the Lotus Formula One cars and any book that mentions them and gets some portion of the facts right is bound to get positive comments from me. As with most of these books that have been written in recent years after most of the principal players have passed on, the book is based around the recollections of a couple of them that are still around. The presentation of the history of the cars is very good and fairly complete, but not quite up to the standards of Mike Oliver's Lotus 49 book. The selection of photos presented is excellent.(less)

Sometimes the book seems like just a random collection of silly things happening in a silly environment. Sometimes it seems like there is some real insight being expressed and I am just not getting it.

I agree with the basic idea of the book. However, the examples used by the author to illustrate points were typically incompletely or inaccurately described. Sure, her friend thinks of Ikea Billy bookcases as disposable. On the other hand, I still have Billy bookcases that I bought almost 20 years ago and they have held up well. In her world, only her friend's experience is valid. Yes, there is an argument to be made for the larger costs to society for the relentless desire to drive out all costs, but those arguments are not made in this book.(less)
