Justarius gave to: The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides read in December, 2011	My rating:
Not my favorite book, but it did capture the essence of just graduating from college rather well. It's a time both wracked by doubt and soaring with possibilities. At that age, people are technically "adults," but they are no more prepared to handl...more

Justarius made a comment on his review of Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough "Because dudes are a lot simpler, at least that's what Gottlieb says. Basically, guys like what they see, or they don't. They don't expect to "improv...more"

Justarius liked Elizabeth's review of Marry Him: " Well-written and easy to read, but nothing new if you're a single woman who's read anything about dating. Except for the fact that she blames feminism for her screwed up love life. I think she screwed up her love life on her own; I'm a feminist and I... " Read more of this review »

Justarius liked Amanda's review of Marry Him: " Extremely engrossing and fun to read. My husband picked it up and couldn't put it down. We were actually fighting over it!

I enjoyed the book for the most part. It's a hodgepodge of anecdotes and teaching insights. Being in the education field, some of them rang true, but others seemed a bit off. He rambles a bit on the autobiographical parts, but the book is candid a...more

Justarius liked Beth's review of Pastwatch: " This is an idea book, not a character book. In this book, Card is exploring the idea that a group of people would deliberately go back in time to alter events in such a way that human history would work out "better." The height of hubris, d...

Justarius gave to: The Celestine Prophecy (Celestine Prophecy, #1) by James Redfield	My rating:
I enjoyed the first half of the book. It presented interesting ideas--pseudo-science/New Age, tis true, but still interesting. Unfortunately, in the second half, the story jumped into the realm of sci-fi/fantasy and barreled into an unresolved, un...more
