Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life Review

I just finished the 230-page book by C.S. Lewis, "Surprised By Joy - The Shape of My Early Life." I have read other works by Lewis on the topic of Christianity, and have profited by them all. This book is no exception. It is a worthy read for Christians and non-Christians alike. People with inquiring minds will enjoy Lewis' intellectual path from atheism to belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God--for this is what the book is about.

(Whenever I read Lewis I want to take the book to a particular friend of mine who is as inquiring as is Lewis, but who is a determined atheist, or perhaps agnostic. He is determined not to believe, and I would wish otherwise for him.)

I am not one of those "inquiring minds," but I still very much enjoyed the descriptions of his home and homeland, the early schools he was forced to attend, his tutors, his teachers, and his few friends. The narrative is very typically Lewis: not devoid of emotion, but removed from it to the extent that it doesn't cloud the story.

His journey to Christ is very different from mine, but the closer he comes to faith, the more his path and mine intersect. Page 206, in the chapter "Checkmate,"

"The most religious (Plato, Aeschylys, Virgil) were clearly those on whom I could really feed. On the other hand, those writers who did not suffer from religion and with whom in theory my sympathy ought to have been complete--Shaw and Wells and Gibbon and Voltaire--all seemed a little thin; what as boys we called "tinny." It wasn't that I didn't like them. They were all (especially Gibbon) entertaining; but hardly more. There seemed to be no depth in them. They were too simple. The roughness and density of life did not appear in their books." (emphasis mine)

I have not read any of the authors he mentions; my experience simply tracks with the last part of his statement. The truth of Christianity includes all "the roughness and density of life," and this book traces in a compelling way an intellectual's journey to that truth.

Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life Overview

In this book Lewis tells of his search for joy, a spiritual journey that led him from the Christianity of his early youth into atheism and then back to Christianity. This book, together with his early diary All My Road Before Me, form the closest thing we have to an autobiography.

I love this book. - Lauraness - Lauraland
I have to admit, CS Lewis is my favorite author, so that's part of why I love hearing about his childhood. But the other part is the way he came to being a Christian, through his years-long quest to capture Joy.



what kept me reading was the expectation on how Lewis' 'Joy' brought him to Jesus Christ, and basically that's the main theme - Jesus J. Torres - San Juan, Puerto Rico
My First and foremost suggestion is that you don't buy this book unless you are really interested in C.S. Lewis' life and conversion, for it's a tough raw read yet an unique interesting one.
I would honestly say that there were few chapters that i didn't like, but what kept me reading was the expectation on how Lewis' 'Joy' brought him to Jesus Christ, and basically that's the main theme of this book in my oppinion. When i finished the book i felt sort of unsatisfied, like you're desperately opening a wrapped gift on Christmas hoping your dad bought your long awaited toy and find out that the gift is not what you exactly wanted, but then again i also found out that that was not the ending but rather his beginning.



Good read if you're a Lewis fan - Jacqueline - Florida
Definitely not the lightest read in the world, but when are Lewis' nonfiction works ever light? The chapters about his schooling are a little difficult to understand if you're not familiar with the English schooling system, but I can honestly say I never got bored reading about his experiences. Also, if you're familiar with his other works, you know that he draws allusions from every sort book he's read in his past. I think he could have been a little more sensitive to those who aren't familiar with practically every type of Greek, Norse, and Irish mythology and English literature ever written! I found myself skipping over references of these kinds, wishing I had read as much as he had before picking up this particular book.

But! Enough ranting. Lewis is without a doubt my favorite writer of all time, and one can't help but to feel his heart through the pages of this book. Not to mention, this was definitely the funniest of his works I have come across to date. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout many of the chapters. His wit and charm and great intellect pour out of this book. All-in-all, I believe it will be a fantastic and charming read for any fan of C.S. Lewis.

Jack and Jill (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection) Review

I love this book. Took a star off for the typical Alcott preachiness. But I read it off the Gutenberg project and loved it so much I bought it off Amazon. It's so sweet. Storyline similar to What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge, girl is stubborn, injures herself (well and jack), may be paralysed, after a bit of preaching, she decides to be good and she eventually heals but is better for the lesson. Sounds boring, but the characters are interesting and sweet. And they're believable. Loved it.

Jack and Jill (Classic Books on Cassettes Collection) Overview

When Jack and Jill tumble off of their sled their injuries cause them to be bedridden for many months. Their parents fill their days with the joys of Christmas preparations, a theatrical production and many other imaginative events. Six 90-minute cassettes.

Alcott's books deserve proper editions! - History mom - Plymouth, NH USA
I've long been a fan of the lesser Louisa May Alcott books and now my daughter has discovered them too. I was pleased to find Jack and Jill available in this handy paperback by an on-demand publisher. My seventh-grade daughter pounced on the book first, in great excitement. It was a bit deflating that there was no book-specific cover art or back cover material--it is a standard, rather ugly cover and the back text advertises the publisher itself. But I guess there's no arguing with that part. Far worse, my daughter found a minefield of typos in the first few pages, which proved very distracting. Then she found that about 1 1/2 pages from 3-4 were repeated verbatim on pages 5-6. She showed me both problems and she was absolutely right: the printing process had gone completely haywire. There was no reason to expect these issues were confined to the first few pages, and we had lost faith in the whole edition. Regretfully, we have sent the book back.





Child's rhyme and story - Ann - Portland, OR
This has a sticky, preachy quality about it -too sweet. but although the beginning bears a resemblance to the rhyme, the story is for young adults and adults. No where as good as Little Women






Child Life in 1800s New England - L. M Young - Marietta, GA USA
While this is not my favorite Alcott novel, I still enjoy reading it as a portrait of the responsibilities and amusements of boys and girls in the 19th century. While Jack and Jill recuperate from their injuries sustained "coasting" on the "lulla," they mature and change, as do their friends, whose small projects to make their life better result in, if not in unimportant monetary wealth or fame, happier times to last them the rest of their lives.

Calico Captive Review

All right. We're stretching back a ways this time around and featuring a book written by a very well-known author but oft overlooked in favor of its famous big sib. I know there are plenty of you The Witch of Blackbird Pond fans out there. I am one of you. How could you not love wonderful, brash Kit Tyler? And Hannah and Nat and Mercy? I loved it back when I was a little girl and my mom read it to me and I love it now when I re-read it for myself. In fact, after I finished it the first time, I immediately ran out to find what else Elizabeth George Speare had written and the first one I came across was CALICO CAPTIVE. I immediately liked the cover and the bright yellow spine. I read the back (back when I used to engage in that dangerous activity) and hoped that this Miriam would be as endearing and interesting as Kit. Her adventures seemed to be even more wild and that gave me an additional dose of hope. I'm always in favor of a good swashbuckle or two. I own the above middle copy and I actually think it represents the story quite well, early nineties styling and all. In many ways, CALICO CAPTIVE echoes the richness and beauty of The Witch of Blackbird Pond, and at the same time it is quite a different story. First published back in 1957, CALICO CAPTIVE is based on a true story and was actually Speare's first novel. At times it is even more fraught with danger and the two heroines are very different girls, in search of awfully different things in life. Once again, however, Speare just hits it out of the park when it comes to the atmosphere of the times and her portrayal of women and the lives they led.

Sixteen-year-old Miriam Willard lives with her family in the New Hampshire colony. And on the night in 1754 in which our story begins, she is experiencing her first real party. The soldiers from the nearby fort have come out for the occasion and everywhere there are candles and music and dancing. It proves to be everything she hoped it would be down to the lingering conversation at the end with quiet and handsome Phineas Whitney. Phineas is off to Harvard within a couple of weeks to study medicine and, with the French and Indian war still raging, he is not sure when he will see Miriam again. They would both very much like to continue their acquaintance and Miriam sends him off that night with high hopes they will get to know each other better over the next few weeks. Then, disaster strikes. In the middle of the night their homestead is attacked by Indians bent on capturing the family and marching them all the way to Montreal to be sold into slavery. The journey is harsh and dangerous and Miriam is terrified for herself and for her sister and her young children who are forced to make the march together. Separated in Montreal, Miriam fear she will never see her family again. Sold to an opulent and well-to-do French Canadien family, Miriam's life takes a bizarre and jarring twist as she serves as a ladies maid to the Du Quesne family. There she encounters a level of refinement and lust for life that she has never before fathomed. She also meets the coureur du bois Pierre Laroche and with such an acquaintance, it seems that many more cords slip around her, tying her to solitude and this strange land.

Miriam is a survivor and that is what I like best about her. She never gives up on her family--her sister, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews. She is many times overwhelmed, threatened, angry, and frightened. Yet she never gives in to despair or hatred. I loved her time in Montreal because she was able to embrace the new culture, despite her appalling situation. She made friends with her captors and employers and she saw a different view of the world. I had no idea which way the wind would blow for Miriam in the end and, though I appreciated the fine attributes of both faraway Phineas and very-much-in-the-flesh Pierre, I was pleased with the denouement and the decisions borne of hope that Miriam made in the end. Ms. Speare excels at presenting both sides of every story, at showing every group from the Indians to the French nobility, to the stiff Puritan stock of New Hampshire, in both light and shadow so that the reader gets a feel for just why these wildly diverse groups were fighting. Through Miriam's eyes we are allowed to experience the world at that wild and significant point in time and I have never forgotten what I saw the first time I read it. The harsh reality of her place in the world and the grim and often unbearable truth of those around her haunt Miriam throughout the novel. She does not forget easily, yet she is also one of the only characters to push back against the dizzying tide. By the end, I believed she could do what she said she would because I had watched her adapt time and time again. A truly fascinating read and definitely recommended for Speare fans, as well as those interested in captivity narratives or the early days of North American settlement.

Calico Captive Overview

In the year 1754, the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, is shattered by the terrifying cries of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day that had promised new happiness, finds herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.
It is a harrowing march north. Miriam can only force herself to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. At the end of the trail waits a life of hard work and, perhaps, even a life of slavery. Mingled with her thoughts of Phineas Whitney, her sweetheart on his way to Harvard, is the crying of her sister"s baby, Captive, born on the trail.
Miriam and her companions finally reach Montreal, a city of shifting loyalties filled with the intrigue of war, and here, by a sudden twist of fortune, Miriam meets the prominent Du Quesne family, who introduce her to a life she has never imagined. Based on an actual narrative diary published in 1807, Calico Captive skillfully reenacts an absorbing facet of history.

historical fiction from an era you don't usually hear about - R. Stemm - Chicago
While most people know this author best for her book The Witch of Blackbird Pond, I've always liked this one of hers best. Based on the true story of English settlers captured by the Abenakis and sold to the French as prisoners of war, it is told from the perspective of Miriam, a young woman who is a little too spunky for her own good, as she learns how best to survive as both a prisoner and a foreign seamstress in Montreal.






Ok but not my favorite - A. Storey -
I was a huge fan of "witch of blackbird pond" so I decided to read this book, too. I was a little disappointed because I am an American history nerd and this one was all about Montreal. The book was well written but as a mom, the story was a little too heartbreaking for me to bear and even harder to know the book was based on a true story. If you don't mind the French setting and you liked her other book, you'll probably like this one, too. But if you prefer American themed novels, pick up something by Ann Rinaldi.



another Speare masterpiece - C. L. DeVaney - South Carolina
The book is amazing. I am a former middle school English teacher. I used Speare's books in my classes b/c of their great plots and character development. Now I have a daugter in middle school. She reads my books I used with my students and especially loves the books by Speare. For her birthday, I looked for a new book for her. I purchased Calico Captive and read it before I gave it to her! I loved it and she did too.

Check Out The Sign of the Beaver

The Sign of the Beaver Review

I bought this audiobook for my son to listen to in the car on a long trip. The first thing I will say is actually a negative, that the reader was just a bit annoying, and the accent he used for the characters was off. (It's a story about Maine, why are you using a cheezy generic country accent?) Apart from that though, and regarding the actual content of the story, we really enjoyed it. It's a great story about growing up, friendship, respect and learning responsibility and self-reliance. I think especially for boys, the parts about how Matt and Attean fished, made bows and arrows, etc. are intriguing. We listened to this twice on our trip, and since we got home my son has also been listening to it on his CD player at bedtime, so I would have to say it is a hit with him (I think 8 years olds are maybe not as sensitive to cheezy, misplaced accents as other people might be.) I would definitely say this CD is worth the money.

The Sign of the Beaver - V McMullen -
The book was not that great. It was not well written. If you do not have to DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. The movie was terrible. horrible book



Sign of the Beaver - The best book ever! - -
Sign of the Beaver is one of our favorite books that we read in our third grade reading group. It was very exciting, emotional, and fun! It is about a boy named Matt and his father, and his father went to get his sister and mother and the new baby. It is really interesting because Matt meets an Indian boy named Attean and they make bows and snares, and they encounter a bear. We would recommend this book for other schools and young people who like adventure books. Sign of the Beaver is great, and we suggest you read it!



3.5 Stars - Teaches Some Difficult Concepts But... - Pam Tee -
"The Sign of the Beaver" is a book that my children and I enjoyed; they are boy and girl, 8 and 10.

The story is about a boy named Matt whose family is moving to the 'wilds' of colonial Maine. His dad and he have gone out ahead of the rest of the family to prepare a clearing, plant some crops and build a small cabin. Matt's dad then leaves him behind while he returns to Connecticut to retrieve the rest of the family which includes his wife, the baby they are expecting, and his daughter. While Matt's alone, he has a few life defining experiences; amongst them an encounter with a trapper who steals from him, and a tribe of nearby Indians. In particularly, he struggles to have a relationship with a Native American boy named Attean, who is a couple of years his senior.

TALKING POINTS:::
The book is an award winning chapter read that is written at nearly the 5th Grade level (AR 4.9)

I thought the value of the book was that it directly addressed the 'myth of white guy superiority'. Speare used both examples from DeFoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and some of the adventures of the boys to demonstrate how ridiculous it is to assume that newcomers would understand an environment better than the natives who grew up with it. In DeFoe's case, she ridicules his precepts and roundly shows how the man's prejudice was hurtful.

The other concept I like was that the book tried to show children that most of the time it is individuals who can behave badly, and not groups. Although it could be argued that by making it clear that the Europeans were 'grabbing up' the land without consideration of the people who already live there, that they were in fact behaving badly as a group.

All this said, I think the pacing suffered on account of the complexity of the ideas that the author was trying to get across. And certainly her choice of grammar made the book, in my experience, an exceedingly difficult read-aloud.

Lions at Lunchtime (Stepping Stone Book Series) Review

I'm seven years old. I like this book because Jack is my brother's name. Annie is the little sister and so am I. The book was cool because when they went to Africa they saw zebras and giraffes. The part when Annie found a bird and followed it in to a forest. That was boring. I recommend this book for kids and grownups. They teach you stuff about the books. I learned many things about any books of Jack and Annie Magic Tree House. I would have to say Jack and Annie are one of the best books I have read. Like the part when Annie got stuck in sticky mud. An elephant came by and squirted water and washed Annie. It felt like a hard shower. I wonder if the water was cold. The End.

Check Out Ramona and Her Mother for $10.09

Ramona and Her Mother Review

"Ramona And Her Mother" is a later entry in the Ramona & Beezus series, and yet it is also one of the finest books of its kind, another in a long line of great books by the masterful Beverly Cleary.

First pubished in 1979, the book finds the gauzy comfort of the Eisenhower era (when the first Henry Huggins and Beezus books were written) replaced by the strain and worry of the recessionary 'Seventies. Ramona's dad, who recently lost his job, has found new work at a local supermarket, but he doesn't like the position, and having both parents out working full-time places new strains on the family. Ramona, who is now seven years old, is no longer an overt brat, but there's a lot going on in her little head, as she struggles with the demands that come with growing up. She is envious of her teenage older sister, who she sees as a goodie-goodie and as her parent's favorite. Her relationship with her mom seems to be up in the air as well, and her parents, both tired from long days at work, have started to argue, which worries the kids. Of course, Cleary finds the silver lining, and while young readers may both recognize their own families (and become anxious for exactly the same reasons as Ramona does) Cleary magically produces happy endings that still do not deny the hardships and imperfections of life. If you've enjoyed Ramona's earlier adventures, you will not be disappointed with this funny, quick volume. (ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

Ramona and Her Mother Overview

Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby. Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint.

Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise. Mr. and Mrs. Quimby sometimes forget who is to do what, as when the Crock-Pot is not plugged in and dinner remains uncooked. Beezus acquires a ludicrous teased hairdo at the student body shop while Ramona gets a becoming pixie haircut. Ramona, who feels unloved, takes to twitching her nose like a rabbit in a cozy picture book until her teacher becomes concerned that something is making her nervous.

Yet Ramona is wrong. She is loved, and readers will rejoice with her when she discovers the wonderful truth. Few writers today are as skilled as Mrs. Cleary at showing families in the round, and here she is at the peak of her powers.

Ramona and Her Mother Specifications

At 7 and a half, with working parents and a sister at "a difficult age," Ramona Quimby tries hard to do her part to keep family peace. Usually, however, she ends up behind every uproarious incident in the house. Whether she's dying herself blue, watching while her young neighbor flings Kleenex around the house, or wearing her soft new pajamas to school one day (under her clothes, of course), Ramona's life is never dull. Through it all, she is struggling for a place in her mother's heart, worried that she might be unlovable. Not a chance. Ramona Quimby is nothing if not lovable.

Beverly Cleary's gift for understanding the tangle of thoughts and emotions in a child's mind and heart is remarkable. Luckily, in addition to being empathic, witty, and astute, Cleary is also prolific. She has created over two dozen children's books, and been presented with many awards, including the Newbery Medal for Dear Mr. Henshaw, as well as the Newbery Honor for Ramona and Her Father and for Ramona Quimby, Age 8.

A GREAT BOOK! - L. Marantz - Kaneohe, HI
I thought it was excellent and I would recommend it to a lot of people. I have read a lot of books about Ramona.






Spirited but sped-up - otternymph - Sunnyside, Queens, NY
I loved Ramona Quimby as a child and discovered that as an adult, I still love her! I bought three audio books narrated by Stockard Channing, who performs mostly fantastic voices for each of the characters and reads with great spirit, but my chief complaint is:

Did it have to be so fast? Sometimes it sounds as if the producers sped up the tapes to fit all the narration onto two CDs. Sometimes Channing gulps and swallows her words, and if I didn't know the text so well, I would have no idea what she was saying. I still enjoy the recording, but it is really vexing to be unable to understand her!

Otherwise, this reading is spirited, warm and brings you closer to Ramona! Cleary's depiction of a child's psyche is absolutely accurate. Kids should enjoy Ramona's rambunctious, totally rational (to her eyes) behavior, and Channing's enthusiastic (if speedy) reading.
