Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-10-08 Summary: Pulitzer Prize winning Agrarian Lit ... In the early pages of So Big we learn that So Big is the nickname of Dirk DeJong, a young man who has long outgrown the childhood name from his mother, Selina. At this point I figure that the novel would be about the title character, but So Big is really about his mother Selina. Selina takes a job as smalltown schoolteacher in Illinois knowing that in two years she will be eligible to work in a city school and be better paid (the novel is set in the late 1800's). In High Prairie Selina finds out that she is nothing ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-08-08 Summary: an oscar winning movie ... So Big was made into a movie four times: 1924, 1930, 1932 and the 1953 version starred Jane Wyman. It was directed by Robert Wise who did many outstanding films including "Sound of Music." I am a big Edna Ferber fan, am presently reading one of her collections of short stories--this one called "One Basket." Every story is so good. Her writing is so good--can anyone explain to me why she is not more revered as an American author. Most of her books are love stories to America. Her autobiographies, especially the first ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-16 Summary: Elusive piece of the puzzle for me ... We have been struggling to design a small modern cabin for almost 4 years now. While I have been studying books on sustainable building, I had not considered "not so big" until reading this book. I also bought and read and LOVED the Creating the Not So Big House. See my blog for more information. [...] ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-16 Summary: The not so big house ... The two books present the concept of the not so big house using examples by various architechs appproach. I it would have been better to explain how to work with your own project and what to ask for, but otherwise is great. ...more

The Sky So Big and Black (Meme Wars)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-21 Summary: Immersive, Compelling Story-Telling ... The Sky So Big and Black draws you in, much like its namesake. Even as one laying on his back staring at the stars may feel vertigo, so reading this story could convince you to fall into the world it paints. It immerses you. You will not be able to stop turning the pages. Well I think most of John Barnes' stuff is sub-par. But this book moved me. Let it move you. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-11-22 Summary: A Good Book with Scary Concept ... I didn't know there's a four book story arc involved with this book until now, while shopping for this copy online for a friend. The book starts off with a young girl's perspective of growing up as a prospector on a colony, but the events which her life revolves around gets bleaker and more dangerous as the book goes on. The author eventually paints a terrifying vision of a near-future science fiction that made me recollect the nightmarish possibilities mentioned in Orwell's _1984_. I spent several days, after finishing ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Some stupid chimp at your company has attached a series name, "Meme Wars" to the title on the web page. I don't use that series name and it's extremely misleading because it makes this sound like an action-adventure type sf novel when in fact it's more like "Little House on Mars." I do not understand why every few months you send your crew of monkeys crawling through the backlist titles to revise things that were right in the first place, but you've been doing that for at least ten years....more
[2] ... Review | "They don't make 'em like that any more!" say fans of the classic juvenile SF novels, Alexei Panshin's Rite of Passage (1968) and the run of Robert A. Heinlein novels that begins with Rocket Ship Galileo (1947) and ends with Podkayne of Mars (1963). Except--John Barnes has made one like that: The Sky So Big and Black . The book's brilliant teenage protagonist, hard science, brisk pace, didactic moments, and strong characterization make it clear that Barnes is working consciously in the tradition of...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-18 Summary: Made me enjoy chess for the first time in my life ... My copy of big bang board games came already installed in my macbook, but had I been able to play them before buying the mac, I would've bought them anyway.
