Book Description

The use of chemical techniques is having a profound effect on approaches to the characterization, classification and identification of prokaryotes, i.e. archaea and bacteria. This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of such methods used in prokaryotic systematics and is written by leading specialists in this field. Designed as a laboratory manual, this volume describes the latest applications to prokaryote systematics of powerful techniques such as protein electrophoresis, pyrolysis mass spectrometry and rapid enzyme testing. The extraction, purification and characterization of specific components such as fatty acids, lipid A, peptidoglycan, pigments (carotenoids and bacteriochlorophylls) and isoprenoid quinones are explained. The value of these methods in the circumscription and identification of archaea and bacteria is demonstrated. The book is aimed at microbiologists and microbial technologists interested in characterizing and identifying bacteria.

Book Description

The author writes: Franny came out in The New Yorker/EM Zooey. Both stories are early, critical entries in a narrative series I'm doing about a family of settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. It is a long-term project, patently an ambitious one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful. I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life, and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them with due care and all-available skill.

Another Salinger Classic.......2007-06-13

(Review based on the Penguin edition of said book)

After having read "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Nine Stories", "Franny & Zooey" was the logical step onward. I absolutely adore JD Salinger, and that book didn't disappoint me at all.

In this short novel - in two parts - you get to know more about the Glass family, first touched upon in "Nine Stories".

Salinger is definitely one of the most talented writers I've ever had the pleasure to read, and I just can't get enough of his writings. He's at once witty, profound, extremely intelligent, humane, well-read, and God knows how many other adjectives I could list here.

So what's this book about? I'd say, perhaps wrongly, that it's about life for people who are too intelligent to have an easy ride through it. But even that sort of description doesn't do the book justice. I just don't know how to describe this book without failing to do so; I think it's better to just trust me and go buy it right away (provided you read the two former books I mentioned at the beginning of this review). You have to experience this!

I'm sorry about my reviews in general (and this one among them) because I never really write anything amazing unless I have something negative to say and criticise; the better the book, the worse the review. Salinger's treasures are too subtle to be apptly described in a review. I could say I love his style and everything, that I find him extraordinary and talented as hell, but that wouldn't do much convincing of anyone reading this review. Salinger may not please everyone, but you definitely must find out for yourself if you like his books or not.

What a snooze!.......2007-06-02

Wow, two hundred pages of useless banter with no action. Why this is an adored classic, I really don't know. What a snooze!

a meditation on grief .......2007-04-02

It wasn't until my fourth reading or so of Franny and Zooey that I began to understand that J.D. Salinger's topic is grief. Grief over his brother's death is the force that drives Holden Caufield as it is the source of Franny's breakdown. Franny and Zooey is a book of remarkable spriritual insight. I marvel at each reading.

Sequel to Catcher, or single reading.......2007-01-21

If after reading the Catcher in the Rye, thou art in quest for a solution to Holden's insufferable discontent, or would like to read some Salinger without necessarily being ridiculously biased to the point that it affects your appreciation of the story itself, get Franny and Zooey, which I think is a better book than Catcher, and also holds Salinger's existential answers.
F&Z is divided in 2 parts: the first part, considerably shorter, is FRANNY. We are told the story of Franny Glass (had you read Nine Stories you would've met her oldest brother, Seymour). Or rather, we are told the story of Franny Glass's nervous breakdown reaching its boiling point. She has come to visit her boyfriend Lane Coutell at University. She is not at all well: irritable, nervous, impatient, and moody, as opposed to her usual docile nature. We soon find out that she is obsessed with a book named The Way of the Pilgrim, in which a Russian peasant-turned-spiritual voyager, explains the method of achieving closeness to God by incessantly repeating the Jesus Prayer.
As usual with Salinger's favorites, Franny feels absolutely out of place and utterly misunderstood by Lane. Her disorientation as to what to do, her inconformity with school and society at its peak, and her anxiousness for achieving that state of perfection described in The Way of the Pilgrim, make her collapse.

Then comes ZOOEY, the longer tale. We are introduced to the fully fascinating Glass family... These were all remarkably intelligent children. Zooey and Franny were both partly raised by their two older brothers and thus, by their fascination with Eastern philosophy. Indeed, the book oozes with spirituality and long dissertations on religion and human nature- and surprisingly enough, it doesn't sound pretentious or distant, but oddly familiar. Perhaps because of Salinger's knowledge and regard for these theories.
In order not to narrate with too much detail, it is enough to say that it merely concerns Zooey's attempts at helping Franny to make sense. His rants about individuality and tolerance are rather self-indulgent, but do not cease to be fascinating. What is most important is that he answers all the questions left suspended by the abrupt ending of the Catcher in the Rye: what can Franny and Holden do with their constant disdain of others, their judgment of the "phonies", their sensitivity, and their lack of figures to look up to or seek support from? Obviously I will not translate his conclusions, but it is unquestionably worth reading... perhaps even more than the Catcher in the Rye. It is not as humorous, but certainly twice as endearing, and much more authentic.

Salinger Crosses Over.......2006-04-22

"An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else's," declares Zooey Glass to his sister Franny, and Salinger italicizes the words "on his own terms" in case there was any doubt. Not that you doubt Salinger's artistic integrity. His sanity, however, is another story.

Madness is at the center of J.D. Salinger's "Franny And Zooey," published together in 1961 after first seeing print as separate stories in "The New Yorker" ("Franny" in 1955, "Zooey" two years later.) While the two stories work in tandem as they deal with the same concerns and main characters and are set a day or two apart, they feel quite distant from one another. Salinger abandons the discipline and wonderful ambiguity of "Franny" for a rambling philosophical tract that seems to be written more for Salinger and his fictional brainchildren than any outside reader.

In "Franny," the title character is a college student who has had it with pedantic professors and her stuck-up boyfriend. She longs for spiritual contentment, one detached from materialistic ego. Failing, she sinks into a state of near catatonia as she recites a prayer over and over trying to make a decisive break.

It is one of the finest stories Salinger wrote, which means a lot considering he wrote "For Esme With Love And Squalor" and "The Laughing Man." In the opening paragraph alone, we get a wonderful sense of place watching Yale boys await their dates' arrival via train, Salinger displaying both that pungent wit and considerable humanistic charm which made "Catcher In The Rye" so special.

As they huddle in groups in their overcoats against the autumn chill, "each young man, in his strident, conversational turn, was clearing up, once and for all, some highly controversial issue, one that the outside, non-matriculating world had been bungling, provocatively or not, for centuries."

By focusing on one of these men, Lane Coutell, and letting us meet his date Franny Glass through his eyes, Salinger immediately sets the right tone, describing her spiritual crisis in a series of awkward pauses over martinis and uneaten food. Lane is a decent young man, but absolutely not what she needs at that moment, made clearer as she begins to fall apart before him. She worries about her soul; he worries about her lousing up his homecoming weekend.

It's a fun, subtly presented dichotomy. As she talks about her admiration for a pilgrim she has read of who has dedicated his life to prayer, one is reminded of how well Salinger used spirituality to inform his sublime short story "Teddy."

"Franny" ends poignantly, if abruptly, but instead of leaving well enough alone, he wrote the sequel story "Zooey," more than three times the length of "Franny" and more an endurance run than sprint. Now back home, Franny lies on a sofa in her parents' apartment as her brother Zooey tries to rouse her from her mental state by telling her what life is really all about.

Calling "Zooey" a mess is to be kind. It is pompous, fuzzy-minded, and as divorced from reality as "Franny" was grounded in it. Salinger itemizes the contents of every overstuffed room in the Glass house, even the medicine cabinet. Long, rambling conversations are written out in stenographic detail, while paragraphs detail Zooey's shaving methods and his attitudes toward various brilliant siblings, alive and dead.

I don't want to say "Zooey" is terrible, because it isn't. Salinger offers some interesting concepts. Though the Glass family is pretty insufferable in their intellectual and spiritual superiority (and becomes more so, in later Salinger works), their complicated interrelationships are detailed in amusing fashion. Every now and again Salinger hits a great note.

You may like "Zooey" for what it is; if so you can be happy knowing you have that much in common with the author. The rest of us will have to make do with "Franny," a fair bit of solace indeed.

An insightful examination into the psychology of a young woman through the seemingly mundane events of her day to day life. On one hand, Franny is an independent-minded college girl trying to distance herself from her family while questioning her purpose in the world. On the other, she's the youngest of seven children, all famous for brilliant performances on the radio quiz program "It's a Wise Child," with a brother Zooey who continually reminds her of how she "should" be. When Franny discovers she's pregnant, her conflict heightens as she looks at friends who seem to have resigned themselves to lives as housewives and compares that to the life she'd always thought she'd lead.

Note: this is NOT the novel; it is "Monarch Notes" on the novel.......2007-02-17

Please note that this item is NOT the novel "Franny and Zooey" by J.D. Salinger.

It is the MONARCH NOTES on J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey. It may or may not be a perfectly adequate set of notes for helping you get through a school test on the book, but it is NOT the book itself. The only clues you get to this is (a) the title and (b) the publisher.

So if you want NOTES, buy this item. If you want the NOVEL, get a different item.

Franny and Zooey is a wonderful novel that gives concise insight into minds of the Glass family. Salanger is brillant as he uses intellect and whit while creating the characters. It gave me a whole new outlook on the world. I recomend it to all.

Book Description

Many men aim high; Tom Farrell dares to be average. While his friends accumulate wedding rings, mortgages, and even, alarmingly, babies, Tom still lives alone in his rented apartment with nothing but condiments and alcohol in his refrigerator. He spends Saturday mornings watching cartoons and eating Cocoa Puffs out of an Empire Strikes Back bowl, and devotes the rest of the weekend to his other favorite hobbies: sports and girls. His credo, to think and act like a thirteen-year-old boy at all times, has worked well enough to land him a decent job writing headlines for the New York Tabloid. But neither his personal life nor his professional life has any forward momentum; he's occupied the same cubicle since the first George Bush was president and is currently "between girlfriends." At thirty-two, it starts to occur to him: There's a fine line between picky and loser.

Enter a sly, beautiful coworker named Julia. After a few torrid dates, Tom is hooked. "She's like cleaning behind my refrigerator. A once-in-a-lifetime thing." But the closer he gets to Julia, the more elusive she becomes. Frustrated, Tom seeks the dubious advice of his buddy Shooter, a shallow sexual gladiator, and wonders why he keeps getting into arguments with Bran, his smart, sarcastic "default date." But then tragedy strikes, and everyone's attitudes toward life and love change -- and even Tom begins to see himself in a new light.

By turns riotous and tenderhearted, Kyle Smith's Love Monkey is the most candid and excruciatingly funny exploration of the male mind and libido since High Fidelity.

i would rate it lower, if possible.......2007-06-22

This has to be one of the worst books I've ever read. The main character is a jerk and the story is tedious. The writing style--if one can call it that--is pretentious and weak. Only for the most shallow and least discriminating among us.

An Emotional Wasteland.......2007-03-24

I found this book to be a complete waste of time. The main character, Tom, is a shallow and immature character who evokes no response in the reader. I could neither like nor hate this character - rather I just felt very ambivalent about him and could have cared less about what happened to him. It took having the character experience 9/11 to make me feel anything at all while reading this book. An author should not have to rely on a horribly tragic event to evoke a response from his readers. Do not waste your time with this book.

He could've been her prince charming if she'd let him........2007-01-02

The main character is so in love, he's confused and afraid his feelings will ruin everything, because these days showing a girl you like her is a sign of weakness- and that's sad!
In just a few phrases he is able to show how much he loves her and how heartbroken he was when she left him:

"There's no such thing as a perfect Suturday afternoon unless it involves her."

or

"...Julia appeares with a glass of water... What I want is a glass of her. My heart hurts."

How can anyone think this guy is shallow? I hope that there are guys out there, who feel like that.
I enjoyed this book very much.

32 going on 12.......2006-10-13

Kyle Smith is a funny guy and he writes very well. His book is full of hilarious lines, and on several occasions it made me laugh out loud. That's the good part.
The bad part? His characters. Tom Farrell is shallow and immature--a thirty-two year old guy who, by his own admission, is going on twelve. And while he gets points for candor, after a few pages I got profoundly bored with him. It's true that Manhattan is full of these guys who are in their thirties and in their forties and who still act like twelve-year old boys, but just because there are a lot of them, it doesn't mean their behavior is any less pathetic or more interesting. I find them boring and unattractive in person, and boring and unattractive in writing. His other characters are not much better: Shooter, a misogynist friend who treats all women as sex objects and Julia, the woman he loves. Other than the fact that she's beautiful, wears nice clothes, and shaves her legs thoroughly (that is, other than extremely superficial qualities) I don't get what he sees in her: she is cheating on her live-in boyfriend (awful), pining for an ex-boyfriend who is not interested in her (pathetic), and going out with Tom because, in her own words, he buys her drinks (no comment).
Actually, now that I think about it, she's just as shallow and immature as he is. They are made for each other.

Summary: Love makes you crazy.......2006-09-11

I read this book at the behest of my wife, who wanted to know if mens minds actually function like that of the main character. My answer, to her and to any women who are reading this, is no, they don't. At least, mine doesn't. But then again, I have never been in love with someone who was obviously going to crush my heart. I suppose that could make me act a little different.

Love Monkey is a fun little book. Like all Chicklit books (or is this Guylit?) the author has a cool job, in this case editing the Sunday entertainment section of a tabloid. And like most Guylit books, it takes place in NY. And like most Guylit books there's a wacky and eccentric friend giving what turns out to be bad advice. And so on and so on. This isn't a knock on the book, you could make the same sort of list almost any genre. What's important is how entertaining each one of these standard elements are, and the answer is very. The cool job is especially cool, since we get to hear all of the joke headlines he comes up with.

There are a couple of surprises in the book, such as the inclusion of a real world event and the ending (see, I didn't ruin either) but for the most part the entertainment comes from the nuerotica mind-set and clever wordplay of the narrator. It's good beach reading, check it out!
