Book Description

Siena Bernstein is leaving her yoga mat behind for a semester of study abroad in Munich. She's thrilled with the prospect of a German adventure (her horoscope is encouraging as well), but she hopes to make more than just her dreams come true while she's there. Siena's dad, who passed away when she was a baby, kept a "Carpe Diem" list—sort of his top-ten adventurous things to do. He completed all but one of the tasks—going to Germany to thank the man who helped smuggle his family past the Berlin Wall. Amidst her adventures in biergartens, Alpine skiing, and a rigorous course load, Siena is on a quest to complete her father's list. But she's also set on having the best possible time while she tries. With the help of two new best buds and a handsome RA in her dorm, she'll surely succeed.

...Siena is sure to become your new 'om girl!.......2007-03-10

Seventeen-year-old California girl, Siena Bernstein, was just an infant when her father died. However, not having known the man has not stopped her from loving him. In fact, being in possession of his Carpe Diem List has only made the bond with her and her deceased father even stronger. Which is why, as she embarks on a trip to Munich, Germany as part of the S.A.S.S. (Students Across the Seven Seas) Program, she is boarding the flight with a mission...to find the man who helped her father and grandparents escape war and concentration camps, and make their way to America. It was back in 1963 when Peter Schwalm helped her father and his grandparents escape the fighting, so that they could create a new life for themselves in a safe place - America. However, Siena's father never had the opportunity to thank Peter for putting his life on the line to save theirs. Therefore, Siena is determined to do just that. However, upon arriving in Munich, she realizes that the task is near impossible. After all, there are over three-hundred Peter Schwalm's residing in Germany, and only three months to muddle through them all. But Siena, a free-spirit, yoga-loving girl is determined to make her way through the list and find him, no matter how long it takes. Luckily, she has two new great friends - Chen and Meg - to help her on her quest. Together, the three girls spend time searching for Peter Schwalm, but never forget to take a little time out to have some fun. From visiting biergartens, to dancing the night away at some local hot spots, and even Alpine skiing. But when Siena realizes that her course-load seems to be dragging her down, she knows that it's time to buckle down to her studies, and get serious about her semester abroad. Now, with the help of uber-genius, Chen, Siena must learn the language of her family, put some emotion into her video for Film class, and remember the various dates that History requires. But the only dates Siena truly wants to remember are the ones she's dying to share with super-hottie, and the RA of her dorm, Stefan. Siena can feel the sparks flying between her and Stefan - or, at least that's what she thinks they are - but can't seem to get him past the "no fraternizing with students" rule. Siena would give anything for a foreign fling with the German god, but she doesn't want to be responsible for the cutie losing his job over something as trivial and tiny as a short-term romance. So, to take her mind off of the irresistible Stefan, she throws herself headfirst into her classes, and her quest for Peter. However, when things begin to look down, Siena can't help but feel that it's time to throw in the towel, and head back to her home in the wonderful U.S. of A, where she can go back to her job as baker and barista at Sweet Sara's, and her daily gab fests with her best friend, Lizzie. But for Siena to truly embrace her roots, she's going to have to suck up her insecurities, and make it through one of the toughest (yet most enjoyable) experiences of her life.

While I have read almost every installment in the S.A.S.S. series, I can honestly say that Suzanne Nelson's THE SOUND OF MUNICH is one of my absolute favorites. From page one, Siena's mindlessness, and ability to lose everything she touches is humorous, and a quirk that readers with a penchant for misplacing items will easily relate to. However, it is her free-spirit, and belief that everything happens for a reason, and that we should all live life to the fullest, that truly make her likable. Unlike many other characters in teen fiction, Siena doesn't fit the typical mold of a girl who is perfect, without flaws of any kind. In fact, Siena is almost the complete opposite. She embraces her quirks and traits - no matter how embarrassing they are - from her ability to constantly trip over her own feet, to her inability to conceal her laughter at just about every inappropriate moment. Siena embalms what a true teenage girl is - from her many mistakes and mishaps, to her constant flakiness. It is these things that make Siena...Siena. Nelson has done a marvelous job of creating a character with true personality, whose mission is one of substance, as opposed to a quest to find the perfect shade of lip gloss. Her interactions with the people around her, and her kindness to everyone - even those who drive her insane - is catching; while her beliefs to seize the day leave readers in the same frame of mind. With craziness and flare to spare, Siena is sure to become your new 'om girl!

Sehr gut! (Very good!).......2006-08-09

This book is the best of the S.A.S.S. series. In this book, readers will enjoy Siena's eccentric personality, along with her love of astrology and "flakiness." She is a great protagonist and this book depicts Germany very well. If you take German, be sure to read this book - you'll really enjoy it!

Have a great read!

Best S.A.S.S. so far!.......2006-06-30

This is by far the BEST S.A.S.S. book yet!
Instead of the old- Go to foreign country, make friends, have a blast, fail a test, find love, ace test- this book had more depth. It told the tale of Sienna, a girl who's half German, but feels completely American. She wants to discover more about her German culture and perhaps complete her father's Carpe Diem list while she's at it. She discovers the trauma of WWII first hand and learns the rich and bold history of those who risked their lives to save others during hard times. And, she even meets a cute guy along the way.

I really loved this, and all S.A.S.S. and non-S.A.S.S. readers should pick up a copy today! :)

What a treat!.......2006-06-26

I enjoyed this book so much. It was my treat for the day for as long as I could stretch it out. It is the perfect read after a long, tiresome day. Nothing like a good book and a hot bath (preferably together!)to make you feel good. Suzanne Nelson is a very talented writer with a wonderful gift for humour and insight.

best of SASS.......2006-06-22

I thought this was the best SASS book so far. I like these books, but almost all the storylines are too similar-- that is, you go to this foreign country shallow and naive, and then you come back totally changed and totally better, plus, you get a hot guy and a bright future.
There is more depth to this book. Siena is half-German, and wants to find that someone who had helped smuggle her dad across the Berlin Wall. This gives it an interesting twist, as you learn a part of Germany's past through Siena's eyes, seeing it more personally.
Don't worry, she DID get a hot German guy, in case you're worrying.

Book Description

Singularity theory draws on many other areas of mathematics and, in turn, contributes to many areas both within and outside mathematics, including differential and algebraic geometry, knot theory, differential equations, bifurcation theory, Hamiltonian mechanics, optics, robotics and computer vision. This volume consists of two dozen articles from some of the best known figures in singularity theory, and it presents an up-to-date survey of research in this area.

Book Description

The first five novels of Henry James, presented complete in this volume, feature sparkling dialogue, masterfully timed suspense, and the romance of youthful artistic aspirations. The contrast between Europe and America, which gives a special dimension to all of James's cultural observations, is brilliantly deployed in these early works. "Watch and Ward," written when James was 28, is a Bostonian version of the Pygmalion story. In "Roderick Hudson," a headstrong and gifted young American sculptor loses his way among the temptations of Italy. "The American" was written in Paris and dramatizes a confrontation between the expatriate culture of American tourists and the protected world behind the barriers of old families and traditions. "The Europeans," by contrast, places two visiting European cousins in a pristine and conservative New England village. The little-known and charming "Confidence" is a light drawing-room comedy about the romantic entanglements of America! ns traveling through Europe.

Customer Reviews:

Some great early novels by Henry James.......2001-04-26

This book has five complete novels for one comparatively low price! "Watch and Ward," is a novel that James himself preferred to ignore as a youthful indiscretion, but I found it a vastly entertaining and suspenseful love story. Roderick Hudson is a compelling cautionary tale. The American is a gripping story that cries out for a movie version (in my fantasy Peter Weir would direct, and it might star Tom Cruise and Winona Ryder, although I'm sure many others would do just as well). This novel has love, a duel, a frightful skeleton in the closet, blackmail, Carmelite nuns, etc. The ending should be adjusted along the lines of the play version that James later wrote. The Europeans did not grab me, but Confidence is a delightful novel with something James later tended to avoid--a happy ending. This collection provides a lot of great novelistic entertainment for the buck. The way the Library of America does it is that for one they are non-profit, and second they use top quality thin acid-free paper, which allows them to fit five books into the space of something slightly larger than one thick paperback. The book even has a silky little bookmark to hold your place. Classy!
