This is a book review by Sally Wendkos Olds about the novel WONDER by R.J. Palacio. The story is about a boy born with hemifacial microsomia and microtia. It is a surprisingly uplifting story full of laughs. A fast read.
The bulk of the book, “Suddenly Solo: A Lifestyle Road Map for the Widowed or Divorced Man” by Harold (Hal) Spielman and Marc Silbert, offers guidance for meeting, dating, having sex with, and developing relationships with women. Co-authored by a widower (a market researcher by profession) and a divorced man (a writer), the book draws on extensive research. The writing is accessible and easy to run through, and the headings are prominent enough so you can easily find topics of interest. There are also lots of stories and even a joke for a man to share with his buddies. The authors come across as nice, decent men with a sense of humor who show compassion for their male readers and respect for the women these men want to meet.

Uggie the dog, a Jack Russell Terrier and the canine star of the award-winning movie The Artist, has now written an autobiography titled Uggie—My Story. And what a tail, er, tale, he has to tell! This is a rags-to-riches story about a dog given up by his family because he was too rambunctious. Omar von Muller, an experienced animal trainer, saved Uggie from being a “pound-bound hound.” Uggie’s road to Hollywood was sprinkled with TV commercials and other gigs before he hit the big time—movies!Uggie’s early films include Sniff: The Dog Movie and Mr. Fix-It. Higher up on the ladder to fame, the Jack Russell Terrier landed a much bigger film: Water for Elephants starring Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson. As is the case for so many actors, Uggie fell deeply in love with his co-star, Reese, who he gushes about chapter after chapter in the book.
