Playing With the Grown-ups: A Novel

Playing With the Grown-ups: A Novel Review

For Kitty, growing up at Hay House amongst bluebell woods and doting relations is heaven. But for her mother, the restless Marina, a bohemian beauty who paints and weeps with alacrity, this comfortable domesticity cannot provide the novelty and excitement she craves. Marina is utterly beguiling, but more often than not Kitty can only gaze on her antics with awe and toe-curling trepidation.
When Swami-ji, Marina’s Guru, sees Marina’s future in New York, the family relocates, leaving Kitty exiled in a colorless boarding school. Reprieve comes in the form of the Guru’s summons to the ashram; but then, just as Kitty is approaching enlightenment, she and Marina are off again, leaving for an England that is now fast and unfamiliar. This time no god, man, or martini can staunch Marina’s hunger for a happiness that proves all too elusive. And Kitty, turning fifteen, must choose: whether to play dangerous games with the grown-ups or begin to put herself first.
Playing with the Grown-ups is an enchanting novel about growing up in a loving, utterly chaotic household; it is also hilarious, heartbreaking, and scandalous. The offbeat and often comic adventures of the free-spirited heroines—Marina and Kitty alike—will remind readers of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. With her magnificent talent for storytelling and creating unconventional characters, Sophie Dahl ably carries on the literary legacy of her grandfather, the beloved children’s book author, Roald Dahl.

Even when life is hectic and harried, every woman has a God-given longing for relationship, and her female friends play an important role in filling that. Oliver and Smalley help women distinguish between self-centered, insecure, childish relationships and other-centered, healthy, “grown-up” relationships. Using personal anecdotes and scriptural principles, they explain ten characteristics of a grown-up friend and offer ideas on how readers can develop these attributes in themselves. Finally, they tackle the tough issues of friendships, such as how to support a friend in crisis, how to work toward forgiveness when a friend has injured you, and how to determine when it is best to let a friendship go.

Law School for Grown-Ups

Law School for Grown-Ups Review

"Law School for Grown-Ups" is a succinct, practical, and somewhat irreverent guide to law school education. This guide’s focus is narrower than most guides. It is a project manual on the core elements of law school: class preparation, class participation, course outlining, and final exams. It also includes advice on dealing with the insecurity, hype, and paranoia that run rampant in the law school culture.

The author believes that too much of the advice presented in other law school guides is intuitive to the target reader of this guide – grown-ups. Much of this guide's advice goes against conventional wisdom found in other guides about law school success.

NOTE: This guide is succinct and does not contain any "feel-good" advice. At approximately 7,600 words in length, it is much shorter than other law school guides. The author has provided his advice on methods that worked well for him in law school - nothing more.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Jack Roberts is a corporate and real estate attorney practicing in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Before attending law school, Jack was a Russian linguist and team leader of a Tactical Intelligence Collection team in the United States Army and a technology consultant in the automotive industry.

Jack enjoys fly fishing the trout streams of Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Fortunately for his clients – and the trout – Jack’s legal skills are stronger than his fishing skills.

The Day I Turned Uncool: Confessions of a Reluctant Grown-up Review

Sooner or later, each of us must face the day we develop a disturbing new interest in lawn care; the day we order sauvignon blanc instead of Rolling Rock; the day we refuse to see any concert where we cannot sit down. Sooner or later, each of us must face the day we turn uncool.

Dan Zevin, who “was never exactly Fonz-like to begin with,” is having a hilariously hard time moving from his twenties to his thirties, and he confesses everything in these comic not-coming-of-age tales. As he shamefully employs his first cleaning lady, becomes abnormally attached to his dog, and commits flagrant acts of home improvement, Dan’s headed for an early midlife crisis—and a better-late-than-never revelation: Growing up is really nothing to be reluctant about. In fact, it’s very cool.

Moral Clarity: A Guide for Grown-Up Idealists (Revised Edition)

Moral Clarity: A Guide for Grown-Up Idealists (Revised Edition) Review

For years, moral language has been the province of the Right, as the Left has consoled itself with rudderless pragmatism. In this profound and powerful book, Susan Neiman reclaims the vocabulary of morality--good and evil, heroism and nobility--as a lingua franca for the twenty-first century. In constructing a framework for taking responsible action on today's urgent questions, Neiman reaches back to the eighteenth century, retrieving a series of values--happiness, reason, reverence, and hope--held high by Enlightenment thinkers. In this thoroughly updated edition, Neiman reflects on how the moral language of the 2008 presidential campaign has opened up new political and cultural possibilities in America and beyond.
