Book Description
From Mordecai Richler, one of our greatest satirists, comes one of literature's most delightful characters, Duddy Kravitz -- in a novel that belongs in the pantheon of seminal twentieth century books.
Duddy -- the third generation of a Jewish immigrant family in Montreal -- is combative, amoral, scheming, a liar, and totally hilarious. From his street days tormenting teachers at the Jewish academy to his time hustling four jobs at once in a grand plan to "be somebody," Duddy learns about living -- and
the lesson is an outrageous roller-coaster ride through the human comedy. As Richler turns his blistering commentary on love, money, and politics, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz becomes a lesson for us all...in laughter and in life.

The Best (most controversial,honest &funny)novel in the history of Canada.......2006-06-14
I love everything about this novel;it's hilarious,controversial and culturally accurate;I think both the novel and film are excellent-and I can't decide whether I prefer the book or the film.If you only see the movie,you miss out on terrific lines-and insight into Duddy's Uncle Benjy,who I gotta go with as my favorite cultural insight from any novel,"There used to be...some dignity in being against the synagogue.With a severe orthodox rabbi there were things to quarrel about.There was some pleasure.But this cream-puff of a synagogue,this religious drugstore,you might as well spend your life being against the Reader's Digest.They've taken all the mystery out of religion"(p.126).And gems like this give the character's(particularly in the Kravitz family) a real honest two dimensional character.Without it,the novel is reduced to Duddy's grandfather's motto:"A man without land is nothing".Obviously,this is not as easy-morally or otherwise-that simple;I wish Richler had writtten a sequel-and I like to think that Virgil,the epileptic he "uses" and Yvette,who tells Duddy she's
through speaking to him,would've come around.Richler-who was criticized as a self-hating Jew-doesn't deserve the label;I love his honesty,accuracy and sense of humor.
Mandatory Reading..........2006-02-23
Duddy is a book about ambition. Each and every one of us wants more... Why else would we be on the internet looking for books to buy? This book is required reading as it serves to remind us that sometimes wanting more can be less. Duddy is driven by the advice of his grandfather that "a man without land is nothing." Duddy is a poor child from the slums of Montreal, and misinterprets this advice in search of change. He tries hard to succeed but wants to do so at all costs. Now, Duddy is not evil in any way, but he does not have the ability of seeing the harm that he causes to his friends and loved ones inadvertently with his actions.
This is a sad and beautiful book, and needs to be read by anyone who ever plans on having more than they have today...
Thank You Mr. Richler.

Richler hadn't yet reached his peak.......2005-10-27
For an example of what this author can really do, read "Barney's Version."
It seems that Richler specializes in making dislikeable characters (see Terry MacIver in "Barney's Version"), but he hadn't reached his peak as of this writing.
The character development is not all that good, nor is the general direction of the plot. In short, it's just one more among many kitsch bildungsroman. Save your time.
Bildungsromanovitz.......2005-07-05
Yes, here we have the classic Bildungsroman, or coming-of-age-story, that constitutes a (ahem, normally) delightful genre of literature. The classic of all English language Bildungsromans (generally conceded) is Joyce's Portait of The Artist As A Young Man where Joyce tells with a passionate, lyrical intensity what it was like for him (under the guise of alter-ego Stephen Dedalus) growing up in Dublin and coming to realise his calling as an artist using, famously, "silence, exile and cunning" to further that end.
There is also more than a bit of the picaresque to this novel, with the madcap rush of Duddy to grab his land by any means possible. But, alas, two things make this novel less than satisfactory or even, in the end, pleasing to read:
1) The writing. In contrast to Joyce or Thomas Wolfe or any other number of novelists who sketched their youth in a poetic lyricism that redeems even the protagonist's worst character flaws, Kravitz writes in a terse, hard-bitten prose that is rather off-putting (understatement) and exaggerates rather than casts into relief Kravitz's many small-minded, unfeeling, avaricious flaws.
2.) Duddy Kravits himself is IMPOSSIBLE TO LIKE. This might be an advantage for a character in a book like The Brothers Karamazov, where we have several characters interacting throughout the novel, some with rather bad character traits indeed, or in a novel like Donleavy'y The Ginger Man whose ptotagonist's faults are compensated by his humanity and the beautiful writing. But when the character is the raison d'etre for the book without many redeeming qualities at all (I mean, not even "bad" ones with which one finds one's self sympathising) and the writing, which reminded me of bricklaying, only exacerbates the situation, it's time to hang it up....Period.
For any readers who didn't fancy this book but still admire bildungsroman, picaresque anti-hero type of things, I couldn't do better than recommend Irish-American author J.P. Donleavy's Darcy Dancer trilogy.-Now THAT is what good novels of this sort are all about.
A searing classic novel about the hidden costs of discounting the welfare of others in pursuit of one's dreams.......2005-07-05
Written by a two-time recipient of the Governor General's Award, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz is a searing classic novel about the hidden costs of discounting the welfare of others in pursuit of one's dreams. Desperate to escape Montreal's Jewish ghetto, Young Duddy Kravitz lives by his grandfather's maxim that "a man without land is nobody", and he lies, cheats, and steals in his voracious pursuit of property. Even though his magnetic charisma sustains his business presence, he soon learns that the realization of his dream is not all he expected it to be. Originally written in 1959, The Apprenticeship Of Duddy Kravitz rings more strongly true than ever in today's materialistic and greed-fueled society. Narrated by award-winning actor Paul Hecht, this audiobook version was originally broadcast on CBC radio. 4 CDs, approximately 4.5 hours, abridged.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Kevin Smith returns the Emerald Archer to life. A character that is a lot of fun, because he has a very different personality to lots of his counterparts, and hence clashes with them often.
A flawed man in many respects, but still a hero, he is happily dead, until an old friend, now wielding great power, comes calling.
Epic Arrow Come To Life.......2007-05-03
This is exceptionally written and executed book which resurrects one of DC's most lovable but overlooked characters. Green Arrow - ever a fan favourite - but never a major player is perhaps one of the most complex, interesting and human heroes to walk the DC landscape.
Kudos to Kevin Smith and Phil Hester for taking a potentially complicated backstory (something that I feel DC tends to stumble badly in with other books) and making it very real and personal. But most of all, they pump new life - literally - into a dead character.
Green Arrow's appeal is his vulnerability and the only other series that matches this level of writing is perhaps Daredevil - which Kevin Smith has also worked on. Both characters are similar.
Having read a couple of other books in this series - this is probably the tour de force, striking a critical balance between heroic nostalgia and contemporary relevance in its story telling.
Brilliant On So Many Levels.......2007-02-23
Who would have thought that a 1970s-style Green Arrow - complete with the famous (or infamous) boxing glove arrows - could have fit so seamlessly into a modern, realistic-style story of serial killers and child abusers? Who would have thought that a story featuring villains drawn from the ranks of demons, realistically-depicted satanists and child predators, could still have space to be often humorous, inspirational, and sexy, without coming off tasteless? Who would have thought that Oliver Queen - blown to a million pieces back in Green Arrow (1st ongoing series) # 100, could be brought back in a way that was credible? The now legendary "Quiver" arc (reprinting the first ten issues of the current Green Arrow ongoing series) managed all this and much more, spinning out one of the greatest stories of all time.
In the midst of a hunt for the Star City serial killer dubbed 'the Star City Slayer', Green Arrow Oliver Queen mysteriously re-appears in his old stomping grounds of Star City as a vigilante, amnesiac, derelict, who seems to have no memory of the last ten years of his life prior to his death. Taken in my a man named Stanley, who he rescued from some street attackers, and becoming sort of a surrogate - what? uncle? big brother? to a teenage girl named Mia who he rescued from a brutal pimp, Ollie sets to work as protector of Star City as if he'd been gone no more than a matter of weeks. Which apparantly, as far as Oliver knows, is all he has been gone. Things get weirder from there.
A Lot of characters (some Extremely unexpected) and a lot of concepts and a lot of DC Universe history are woven into the tale as it progresses, for, although this is a Green Arrow-centered story, it expands until it's also a pivotal tale of the whole DCU. "Quiver" goes very deep into the territories of the spiritual, the metaphysical, the theological and 'nature-of-life'/nature-of-existance'-style philosophy. Is it successful on that front? In my opinion, extremely. To my personal way of thinking, it nails a lot of things dead on; there are other points that I feel probably aren't accurate compared to reality but make for fascinating, thought-provoking reading. There are few tales - comics, novels, movies, etc. - that are willing to explore the concepts Quiver goes into so boldly. For those who like discussing books in large groups or book-club settings, this volume would make a great choice.
The dialogue is brilliant, the action authentic, the art - although different from what I usually go for - masterfully done. There are more priceless and memorable moments in here than you can shake a stick - or a longbow - at. "Green Arrow: Quiver" is a must-have for anybody remotely into the DC Universe (except wee tots; it's pretty dark), and the kind of story that could turn a non comic reader full tilt into a major fan. An outstanding collection.
Very addictive Green Arrow story by Smith.......2006-07-27
I was a little skeptic when I bought this, not really knowing a whole lot about Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. Who ever, upon reading it I was extremely happy with the book. The story starts off 10 years after the death of Green Arrow. Star City is pretty much in need of old Ollie, and amazingly, he saves an old man (Ollie's soon to be 'friend' Stan Dover) and the story picks up from there. We are then taken thru a wild ride of Ollie coming back to life, death, and back to life. Along the way, we run into many guest stars (you can never really have too many, can you?) such as the usual Black Canary and Arsenal of course. Also, we met up with Aquaman, the JLA, Batman, Etragan, and the Spectre.
Smith can tell a story no doubt, and this is no exception. He takes Ollie from a forgotten character to a very strong and potent person in the DCU. Smith uses very good dialouge and good story telling to make this very wonderful and fantastic read. I highly recomend this to anyone who enjoys any DCU comic and Batman fans. So, in short buy with confidence.
Right on Target.......2006-06-27
Okay, the art takes some getting used to, and Kevin Smith has written better. That said, Green Arrow fans could not hope for a better resurrection. And it makes sense ... as much as anything can in DC's continuity.
You've got Batman, Superman, Black Canary, and quite a few other surprises in these pages, but let's face it -- the draw is that liberal, womanizing Ollie. Smith doesn't forget that, either. GA may be back from the dead, but he hasn't changed a bit.
If you've seen GA on "Justice League Unlimited" and wondered what he'd be like in his own book, this is a great place to start. Then go back and hunt down all the Green Lantern/Green Arrow stuff from the good ol' days. You'll be glad you did.

Book Description
Like the biological weapons they employ, a sinister conspiracy has spread across the Delta Quadrant and across many years of Starfleet History. Now the mysterious menace surfaces again -- to strike at the heart of the Romulan Empire.
An artificial virus has infected the entire Romulan ruling family. Ambassador Spock must put aside his efforts at unification to summon his old friend, Dr. Leonard McCoy, who discovers that the only hope for a cure lies with a long lost Romulan heir whose blood and tissues have not been contaminated by the virus. But can the heir be found before the collapse of a ruling dynasty throws the entire Empire into chaos?

Star Trek The Next Generation Double Helix Red Sector.......2007-04-01
This is one of the better books in the series of the Double Helix. The book was full of Action, Romance, Evil, Royalty and great characters. There was plenty of action involving phaser duels between characters and between ships. It was like many of the other books in the series. The book had a good guy and a corrupt power holder. A catastrophic event happens and The Federation comes to the rescue once again but this time there is Romulans. There are characters from two of the most powerful species, The Federation and The Romulans. There is a great meaning behind the book. It shows that two people who come from different places can hold on two each other in times of need and that maybe there is a chance of peace in the galaxy. I would recommend this book to who ever is interested in a good Science Fiction book and whoever likes Star trek.
Even Spock is impressed by the main character of this book.......2003-07-20
This book is a journey of one man. At the beginning of the novel he is but an ensign in charge of extracting Ambassador Spock from a world in political turmoil, and it does not go the way he intends. The first part of the book is about his life after that mission goes awry, and how he grows up from a young, unsure-of-himself officer to a hardened man. The second part of the book sees him take on a new challenge that is intertwined with the Double Helix plot, of which this book is part 3 of 6.
With guest appearances by Spock, McCoy, Dr. Crusher and other characters in the NCC-1701-D crew compliment, this book centers on the journey of this young man from adolescene to adulthood, and I was gripped from beginning to end by the inner turmoil and outer emotions that the main character, Eric Stiles, is expertly described to undergo by Diane Carey. Ms. Carey's expertise in naval technical details shines in this book, as also seen in her hardback novel, _Ship of the Line_, about the first mission of the Enterprise NCC-1707-E, starring Captaion "Frazier" (Kelsey Grammar from Cheers' TNG character) and the NCC-1701-D crew after the movie Star Trek Generations. Both that book and this one have the characters on board vessels not normally seen in Star Trek TV episodes, for example border cutters (like the Coast Guard) and CSTs -- Combat Supply Tenders, one of which plays a major role in both book 3's plot and the ongoing double helix plot in this novel.
I highly recommend the Double Helix series--at least the first three books which I have read so far. They are entertaining, bring in characters from other eras and Star Trek series, and the underlying virus plot is also a great mystery.
If you're just looking for the further adventures of 130-something year old Bones McCoy, and his green blooded pal Spock, this is a great book. She depicts those characters true to their form from TV and the expanded universe of their appearances in various novels since then. Bravo to Diane Carey! Now I'm on to Book 4....
Flawed But Still Good.......2003-06-29
The Star Trek: Double Helix series is about a mysterious villain who is releasing biological agents across the Alpha Quadrant. This time he has targeted the Romulan royal family, and is up to Dr. McCoy and Ambassador Spock to find the cure before the Romulan Star Empire collapses into chaos and a potential devastating border war with the Federation.
That's what the book is supposed to be about. Forget all of that. The Romulans, the plague, Ambassador Spock and Dr. McCoy are all on the sidelines. The real story is about two young people. One is a Starfleet officer who desperately wants to live up to the legacy of his ancestors who served with Captain Kirk and fought in the Romulan Wars. The other, Zevon, is a Romulan prince and scientist, wracked with the guilt that a simple experiment he created led to the destabilization of an entire world. Both spent four years together as POWs in Red Sector, an area of space sealed off from the rest of the galaxy because of its political instability and hostility to aliens. Stiles eventually gained his freedom, but Zevon remained. Now years later, it is up to Stiles to rescue his friend and return him to Romulus, for his untainted blood is the last great hope for a cure.
If this all sounds complicated, it is. Diane Carey is a wonderful veteran Trek writer, but the plot jumps all over the damn place. She tries to do too many things in too little space. You've got the plague, the conspiracy behind it, the Romulans and all of their political intrigue, one last adventure for Spock and McCoy, Eric Stiles' maturation from a young ensign to a hero and officer in his own right, and Zevon's fight to bring peace and stability back to the planet his experiment had ruined.
Nitpicks: 1) This is supposed to be a medical thriller but it's not. 2) The mastermind villain becomes so mysterious he's almost like a cartoon character. 3) Red Sector is such an artificial plot device. I just can't believe the Federation, Romulans, and everybody else would seal off an area of space just because of some anti-alien hostility on a primitive world. 4) For various reasons, it makes much more sense to have Dr. McCoy treating the Romulan royals than Dr. Crusher, who starts acting just like him in her bedside manner. 5) The Top Gun stuff gave me a headache.
Despite all of this, the book is still fun to read. Why? Because the characterization is excellent. Ambassador Spock and Dr. McCoy don't appear often, and rarely together, but when they do they shine. You really do feel like you're seeing legends at work. Even more impressive is the creation of a strong character such as Eric Stiles completely out of scratch. His transformation from a young inexperienced ensign to a hero worthy of Kirk makes up more than enough for all of the book's many flaws.
Carey just can't get above Betty Sue..........2002-09-13
Mark Twain once described Richard Wagner's music as being "better than it sounds." This sentiment sums up my feelings of Diane Carey's Trek novels.
When one picks up a Star Trek novel by Diane Carey, one may be assured of two comforting elements: 1) Captain Kirk (and, by association, the rest of the TOS crew) will be treated by other characters as the bravest, strongest, noblest, handsomest, simply the ginchiest anyone has ever seen; and 2) Ms. Carey's knowledge and experience of nautical and naval traditions will be lathered over the story at every opportunity in a manner almost of reminiscent of Irving Wallace, who would do extensive research of his subject and then have a character simply mouth paragraph after paragraph of expository paraphrasing, almost completely divorced from the context of the plot. Ms. Carey's last two efforts evince these traits exceptionally well. In "Ship Of The Line," she has Captain Morgan Bateson speak in nineteenth-century sailing lingo, while in "Red Sector," her protagonist has a case of hero-worship on Spock that borders on the homoerotic.
Ms. Carey's latest effort, "Wagon Train To The Stars," is classic Carey. Both the above elements are present in full force. A supporting character -- the captain of a privateer vessel in the aforementioned "wagon train," early on rebels against taking orders from Kirk, saying "there's only one man in a hundred thousand worth following" (or words to that effect). Then, after several amazingly heroic, courageous and daring feats, the privateer places himself fully at Kirk's disposal, repeating his earlier statement.
... She has to show the reader just how heroic, how wonderful the TOS characters are. I can't imagine her Kirk with the humor shown in "The Trouble With Tribbles" or "How Much For Just The Planet?", the self-doubt of "Balance Of Terror" and "Obsession," or the fallability of "Operation -- Annihiliate!" and "Errand Of Mercy."
I'll continue to read the New Earth books. Once again, Carey (this time with John Ordover) have concocted a brilliant plot, and so far it's a pretty good story. It's just that her actual words never quite live up to the story's promise.
Another great installment!!!.......2002-06-14
Red Sector is a fantastic book. It's very refreshing having a book that concentrates almost primarily on a non main character in John Eric Stiles. The character is extremely well thought out and written. The author nailed Spock and a hundred and thirty something Dr. McCoy perfectly. I'm dying to find out who the voice is at this point. Hopefully the next three in the Double Helix series will be as good as this one and the other two. Thank you very much to Diane Carey for an excellent book, even if I don't understand all those sailing terms your books are replete with.

From the supplier: The FDA's concerns about aseptic low-acid particulate processing were valid in the early 1970s but no longer are. The agency continues to insist that the food industry prove the safety of aseptic processes through FDA parameters and mathematical models. But more valid safety-demonstration methods exist. Furthermore, technological advances have effectively eliminated large-particulate sterilization problems.

DON'T PUT IT IN ON A SHELF- READ IT EVERY DAY.......2007-06-08
Full of inspiring and uplifting thoughts. Insightful! Covers all the bases. Draws on many of the great religions of the world as well as some of the greatest writers of the centuries.
daily readings for inspiration or education.......2006-05-15
Easwaran takes a short quotation from a wide range of sources, and unpacks the meaning in a way that is uncanny and speaks straight to the heart. The appeal is that you don't have to understand all this brilliant philosophy and wisdom in one go: Easwaran takes just one idea for today and shows how to apply it to your life today. A great way to start the day, or to use in a discussion group or a yoga lesson.
