Amended review: This ISN'T the last of the series! WOO HOO! I found that there are three more titles, and an unfinished one as well, plus a fellow named Dean King has put together an atlas and a dictionary of terms based on the Aubrey/Maturin series.
Whew. The Commodore ended well enough to cap off the series, but there is more to know about the characters, and I want to spend... more

| 5. The pillar of salt |
|
By: Albert Memmi
Publisher: J. P. O'Hara
1994
This (semi)autobiographical book was written in the mid fifties. It deserves to be plucked from obscurity and placed among the better novels of the 20th century. Artful prose tells the story of a boy growing up in colonial Tunis. He is at the crossroads of Jewish, French, African and Moslem/Arab culture. He is unable to assimilate all these influences into his life, so he rejects his background... more

|
By: Mitchell H. Messer, Linda J. Dillon, Roman Coronado-Bogdaniak
Publisher: C. O. P. E. Publications
1992-07
I couldn't finish reading the book. I found the emotional, non-detached language very disturbing. The continuous distinction of "we normal people" and "they angry abusers" didn't appeal to me. Also, it's not always obvious whether the author is giving advice to people who have anger problems themselves or to people who are dealing with an angry person, and I found it very distracting. The organization... more
