Kite Runner 2 by Khaled Hosseini

After finishing the next part of the book, going to Pakistan, the once sweet and kind beginning of the book with some drama can not compare with the past 2 chapters. Now that he is 18 years old the magnitude of violence has increased tremendously. We discover new character traits and morals buried deep within old and even new characters. When Baba almost chokes Karim to death because the truck is not coming or when Kamal's father takes Karim's gun and kills himself because his son is dying is totally unexpected. The out bust of violence by Baba is only backed up by his protective and almost saint-like characteristics. I am excited to read more and discover what will happen next when they move to America.

The Mole People by Jenifer Toth 4

Just finished the book and let me tell you it was excellent! After reading thought the stories of numerous homeless underground people I feel as if I am connected to them and I understand their pain and suffering, but yet again it is not pain they always feel, for example, in Bernard's community most of the people were happy because Bernard provided food and fire for them to relax after a long day. In the epilogue of the book Toth reveals the to the reader what the people she had talked to three months before the book was published. She also tells us about nightmares she has from being in the tunnels and she can't compare to the homeless in the tunnels due to her lack of understand on how they can live down there. The Mole People was an excellent book and I recommend it to any reader who wants and excellent story and an adventure into the pits of New York City.

The Mole Poeple by Jennifer Toth 3

Jennifer Toth is afraid of no man. In the past few chapters she has gotten up close and personal with some of the underground homeless living in an are called Bernard's tunnel. Here, in the tunnel, they have a place to rest and get something to eat and drink but they can also go there to rehabilitate and try to ween themselves off of drugs and alcohol. As this perticular chapter she continues to travels deeper into the South, and more hostile, end of the tunnel where drug addicts can be found in every hole and you are just about as asafe as the next guy. I admire Toth's braveness and courage to go and be among the homeless, dangerous or not. The insight she provides is stupendous.

The Mole People by Jennifer Toth 2

By now I can see and understand whatthisbookis about and how Toth approaches discovering what she has. She does not onlytalk to people living underground, she also interviews cops and local taxi drivers to see their side of the story. Everybody has different opinionsabout the case and I am starting to form one too. The people living underground might not have the "right" to be there but it is what they call home. They are not bothering anybody by being there and I do not see how they can effect the upper world when they are so depp, deep down. With the more people she interviews, the more perspectives you get about the "Life in the Tunnels beneath New york City."
