Janice S read and liked Linda's review of The Cracker Factory:

"I found this in a used paperback book store in Guilford, CT about 5 years ago and never got around to it, for whatever reason. Absolutely hilarious!! It's rare that a book makes me laugh out loud, even ones that are rated as such. The subject matte...more "

Completed 15.4 (science and science fiction)

Book : Science
My Lobotomy by Howard Duffy (4 stars)

In 1960, at the age of 12, Howard Duffy was the youngest patient to receive an ice pick lobotomy. His stepmother disliked him, although he was never violent. Walter Freeman, his doctor, and the pioneer of the procedure was looking for any reason to give lobotomies. He wanted to become famous. There were, at that time, very little checks and balances in the medical field. The combination of these factors paved the way to Howard's suffering. Forty-two years later, Mr. Duffy goes in search for the answers as to how this could have happened to him.

Movie: Science Fiction
Time After Time (4 stars)

Honestly, I thought I would dislike this part of the task. I'm not a fan of science fiction. I ended up really enjoying this movie in which Jack the Ripper steals H.G. Wells's time machine. Of course, Wells must follow him to the future to get his machine back. In 1979, Jack is up to his old tricks, and Wells must spring into action. I couldn't believe how much wit and insight this movie contained. I'll definitely watch some more science fiction.

I'd like to recommend The Giant's House: A Romance by Elizabeth McCracken. It's the story of a librarian who falls in love with a giant. It is very unique and quirky, while still containing beautiful prose. I really enjoyed this book. It was an unexpected gem. ]]> <![CDATA[Janice added 'The Giant's House: A Romance']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78539249 to: The Giant's House: A Romance (P.S.) by Elizabeth McCracken
