Even though there's no real emotional connection between Jimmy the former Red Guard member finding true love after Mao's death and the downfall of the Gang of Four and Fong Tai his great-grandfather whose story begins the book, we enjoy the story better because they are family -- though neither would understand the other's world. In their own way, though, both are rebels.

The physical and the metaphysical are interwoven in the fabric of mankind. Often yesterday's fiction is today's reality. Nature is replete with hidden mysteries we cannot explain. In James Redfield's the fiction novel The Celestine Prophecy he presents the theory of coincidence in a magical way as he takes us on a journey of insight to the spirit. While I read this book it did not seem like fiction and the story seemed like a real possibility.

But blame the marketing for that because the book's a must-read, even if you've watched the movie. And thankfully, Boyle's script is an adaptation, not a mere copy of the book.

Book clubs have the same effect, as readers come together to enter the fantasy of a book once again, but this time together as a group. What the fantasy reveals this time, may be the same, slightly different or entirely different depending on the group as a whole.

They prefer reading over movies or television and like to escape into their own little world. As they read the words on a page, their minds create the scene and the characters.

Bergen was asked if he would ever consider writing a story about someone with a reasonably happy life, more like his own. Bergen replied he was sure readers would find such a book boring.

We is considered a precursor to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and has a feeling similar to Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, both novels which explore similar themes of a domineering government and a disengaged future society with a fantasy-realism element.

The Dwarf catapulted Lagerkvist to international fame, but the book is now largely dwarfed (ahem) by his more famous novel, Barabbas. Still, this acerbic little gem deserves a place on the bookshelf of discriminating readers, beside such dark, disturbing, and unforgettable literature as Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground.

Throughout the picture runs a gravel road which passes an apple orchard on the way to the mountains in the background. The cover provides a good visual of the story that Guterson tells. This is a story of a doctor named Ben Givens who was recently diagnosed with terminal colon cancer.

Mr. Pat lays it on the line while using the facts to write a story so compelling and close to our world today. I had read Mr. Pat's last book, "The Terrorist Legacy" and thought it was scary but "The Apostate Theory" gives us cause to really stop and think of what is going on in our world and what consequences lie ahead. The true fact about the Muslim religion is that any male born to a Muslim father must remain a Muslim. If he doesn't and doesn't change his every day life back to Muslim, he becomes an Apostate and the punishment is DEATH.

The book has several themes and lessons with relevancy to today's society. The most important is that things will change because of their impermanent nature in general. When change occurs one has to be flexible and find a way to acknowledge and integrate such conditions into the fabric of society. Fighting may be an option; however, it's an option that may result in disaster in the long run because change is inevitable in the long run.
