The Trouble With Harry

Customer Reviews:

Loved this book..........2007-09-13

This was the first historical romance by Katie Macalister I've read, and it was a 'hoot'. Although her Guardian books are my favorites, this was one I couldn't put down. A great light summer read.

Not nearly as good as the reviews led me to believe........2007-01-12

For me this book had some cute moments but it also had many more moments which were nothing but pure irritation. I did not find it funny that Harry did not tell Plum about any of his children before the wedding and had actually intended to introduce her to the children one a day until she had met them all. How ever did he intend to perform this miracle? In the first few pages the five got into more scrapes and mischief than most children get into in a full year. A bull in the foyer? With no person seriously trying to get the animal out? With Harry actually hiding in his office? See, I don'lt find that kind of scenario funny. To me it is so totally impossible that it makes me thoroughly dislike where the author seems to believe I can be led. Were we supposed to believe that Plum could have just hitched up her skirts and waded right in to become the perfect Mum to this crew?

Also, Plum had been married for six weeks twenty years previously. How in the world did she gain enough sexual experience in that time to be able to write a book? Why did she even get the idea of writing a book? Did she write it soon after Charles left her? Did she write it because she needed money? Did she write it because she just wanted to share her vast knowledge? The author gives us no clues and answers no questions and because of that this part of the story made absolutely no sense. Had she not had a hankering for "Connubial Calisthenics" in all that time? What was it about Harry that triggered her overwhelming longing to once again practice these "arts" after being married to him for five hours? They were practically foaming at the mouth for each other yet neither knew the first thing about the other. It made me think, I'm sorry to say, about "connubial calisthenics" for hire. He lied, lied, lied. She lied, lied, lied. Is this funny? Not for me.

I wanted very much to like this book. Harry was an older hero and he wore glasses and he wasn't gorgeous. Instead of sympathizing with him and his plight, I just wondered why he didn't get a grip and deal with his children and their horrible behavior. Plum was an older heroine which is refreshing in romance novels but I didn't like her because every time she found out another of Harry's lies she blamed herself and tried to figure out how to keep him from sending her away. When the brats were being brats she blamed herself and tried to come up with ways to keep Harry from sending her away. How could she be expected to be a perfect mother to five hellions? She had never been a mother to even one hellion.

Unfortunately, not recommended. This author had a good idea but with kids who were so totally bratty and two adults whom I never liked, this story did not stand a chance with me.

Hilariously Funny! Don't Miss This One!.......2006-05-17

Marques Harry Haversham, forty-five year old widower, decides he needs a wife, a good stable woman, to help him raise his five unruly children. She must have a "certain charm to her appearance", though it's not absolutely necessary. While she might not have to be toothsome, he would like to look at her and not think of a bulldog!" Feeling too old to enter the marriage mart, and not wanting to suffer the torture of the Ton, he places an advertisement in the paper. To his dismay, he receives numerous applications from all types of women. He finally chooses the thirty-third interviewee, "Plum" Pelham, as his spouse. She desperately wants a family, would love children, but no man in all of Dorset would have her "after the scandal" - well, no man except Harry.
After they marry, Plum learns that Harry is marques, something he conveniently forgot to tell her. He also concealed the five kids he expects her to mother. Though clearly taken aback, Plum adapts because she has a secret too. Two decades ago, she married, well almost married. Charles her husband, forgot to mention one little thing before their marriage -- that he already had a wife! Of course, her family blamed and disowned her. Also, she is an author of "The Guide to Connubial Calisthenics" -- a book judged so obscene to be banned by the government. Her past surfaces when her first "spouse" tries to blackmail her, but even worse someone is trying to hurt the children. Plum will do anything to protect Harry and the kids and he feels likewise.
This is a terrific Regency romance starring two delightful forty-something protagonists who think love has passed them by. The secondary characters propel the tale as the children add comic relief (There is little India -- not such a little angel, hell bent to know about the birds and the bees, the twins trying to "fly" from the barn roof, Marston -- Harry's heir - who would rather be a blacksmith than the next Marquis, and MacTavish who presents his father with his latest "treasures"). The accidents begin to occur and her "ex" provides a hint of intrigue. The suspense flows smoothly till the end.
From the opening scene in which beleaguered Harry is trying to explain the facts of "womanhood" to his eldest daughter - I was laughing out loud! This book is a sheer delight from beginning to end! Katie Macalister is one of the most delightful (and prolific) writers in Romance today. When I want sheer fun, I look for a book by Katie Macalister. There is nothing as special as a writer who can leave you feeling good all over. A+

The Trouble With Harry.......2006-02-10

I laughed through this entire book. Laughing is good for the soul. I am sending this book to my daughter-in-law who is expecting.

Not sure about this one! Some comments ...................2004-10-07

I am not sure what Katie MacAlister was trying to achieve with this novel. Others have summed up the plot so I'd rather just give some comments.

Yes, it's an amusing story. The concept of our heroine having written a Guide to Connubial Calisthenics was quite unusual and clever but never really added much to the character of Plum except to give her some surprising sexual tastes and knowledge. Our heroine was, I am afraid, rather two dimensional and, as one reviewer has said, her actions and overall character were terribly inconsistent. Harry was amusing - how nice to have a hero wearing spectacles but as a real, genuine man (and father), he was totally unbelieveable.

Was this meant to be a regency historical? If so, I could not find a single sentence that fixed the timeframe. The story and characters could have been from any genre timeframe you care to mention as there was no narrative description to speak of.

All in all, the child characters were so over-drawn that they were beyond even farce - they were simply irritating. Too bad because I quite like a story with naughty children but Barbara Mezger could have done them much better.

I won't be put off by this author but I do nonetheless feel that the ecstatic rave reviews were a bit surprising. Not enough meat to the story, characters that were, in the end, non-engaging, and nothing here to indicate this was a regency-set story. The author's prose is reasonably good and she obviously has a great imagination but as a sum of its parts, this book just was not memorable for me.

The Decline of Capitalism: Can the Self-Regulated Profits System Survive?

ASIN: 1856495663

Book Description

We have grown accustomed to the notions of the end of history and that the current variant of free market capitalism is the only game in town. But how sound are the foundations of the global economy? The remarkable analysis contained in this book forsakes the shibboleths of both the Left and liberal economists to examine the actual behavior--patterns and tendencies--of economic institutions in the OECD countries of the 1980s and 90s. The conclusions are disturbing. The author uncovers profound sources of instability. Low growth has become endemic. There is a chronic surplus of capital. New technology is not solving either of these problems or structural unemployment. Meanwhile, the pursuit of neo-liberal economic orthodoxy by an emasculated state has only worsened the situation and the evidence of social dislocation is all about us. This is a book that must be read by every politician and thinking citizen still harboring illusions about the capacity of mere shifts in policy to return us to the golden era of the Sixties when high growth and full employment were the norm.

Is Free Market Capitalism the Only Game in Town??.......2004-08-18

+++++

The objective of this book, by economist and economic consultant Harry Shutt, is "to expose the realities of the...evolution of the global capitalist economy, and thereby to dispel the illusions which lie behind the neo-laissez-faire prospectus [a policy that states the economy works best with no governmental regulation or control]." Shutt does not take random potshots at the capitalist system but instead uses a historical approach with regard to the origin of capitalism in order to identify problems with the present system. As well, this book "attempts to bring together different fields of economic analysis (such as the impact of technological change, the evolution of financial markets, and Third World development) which are all too often considered in isolation from each other."

This book also "steps beyond the confines of economics to consider [other factors such as] the cultural, ethical, and geopolitical ramifications of...capitalist development." In other words, this book considers the human side of capitalistic economics and does not only concentrate on economic principles and market forces. Too often books on economics (especially basic economic books) concentrate only on economic principles without even considering the human element. The result is that everything appears well on a theoretical economic basis but the majority of people who have to survive in a particular economy are having difficulty.

Before jumping into the main thrust of the book, there is an introduction that caught my eye immediately. Here, Shutt mentions three reasons as to why the claims that the capitalistic free market system is the best may not be true despite what "official propaganda" and rhetoric tells us. He ends his introduction with this startling statement:

"As failure to resolve the world's profound economic distortions gives rise to more and more symptoms of social breakdown and civil strife in every continent, the need to focus wider public attention on their causes and effects has never been more pressing."

Shutt's journey on the origin of capitalism takes the reader to such highlights as the Industrial Revolution, the span from the 1920's economic boom and the 1930's Depression, World War Two, the postwar years, and the Soviet collapse. It ends in the present.

The majority of this book becomes an analysis of how bad things have become thanks to such things as capitalist profit maximizing; globalization; privatization; deregulation; leverage buyouts; hostile takeover mergers; monetarism (theory which holds that economic stability and growth result from maintaining a steady rate of growth in the supply of money); "creative" accounting; redundant excess capital; fraud; corruption; organized crime; and the biggest problem of them all -- sluggish economic growth.

The last chapter of this book is the best. It reveals the author's profound main conclusion: the maximization of profit will cease to be the main basis of allocating resources.

What I found interesting about this book since it was published in 1998 is that many of the problems it discusses have increased. In fact, a few new ones have been added.

Included in this book are a few tables and graphs to aid in the analysis. At the end of each chapter are (foot)notes and references.

There are three problems I found with this book:

First, there is no glossary. Economic terms are presented but not defined. Thus, a glossary would have been of great value.

Second, chapters three to ten in this fourteen chapter book are discussed in an overly scholarly manner requiring one to have an above-average vocabulary. I managed to get through these chapters but some readers may find these chapters tedious. However, chapters one, two, and eleven to fourteen are relatively easy to comprehend.

Lastly, the author gives the impression that the capitalist system is on a continual decline leading to a major breakdown. Perhaps this will occur but Shutt gives no account of the resilience of the capitalistic economic system. For example, crises often lead to reforms that strengthen the system.

In conclusion, this book gives a fairly good account of the problems that need to be fixed in the global capitalistic economic system. In other words, it shows that all is not well with this system!!

Can capitalism be fixed?.......2002-12-20

This book has pierced the hubris of laizze-faire thought so common amongst the current economic pundits. It is a clear evaluation of the limits of capitalism and its failure in light of the human notion of an expanding economy. It should be read with an analytical attitude and should not be prejudged solely because of the title. It elucidates "the trouble with Capitalism" and why it will continue to spawn the normal up and down cycles. It presents clear examples of how political expediency, practiced by most OECD governments in their quest to appear as defenders of the public good, continues to play into the hands of private investment seeking contined increases in returns at the expense of real value. If you have ever wondered why taxes continue to rise, this book will explain how the public purse has become the corporate trough for ever increasing returns. He gives some interesting solutions of how the future could unfold if society can refocus its prioities and look to the "real" public good. A good read for any student of economic thought. The quote attributed to Marx that "the trouble with capitalism is that it eats its young" may come to mind after reading this book.

A challenge to contemporary laissez faire economists.......2001-10-21

Harry Shutt makes a strong case that private for-profit capitalism is nearing the end of its useful lifespan. He argues that capitalism's crisis is marked by an oversupply of capital desperately seeking investment opportunities in a world possessing a limited supply of secure, profit-producing activities.

The author has written an unique and insightful economic history of the post-WW II world, tracing many contemporary problems back to their root causes and exposing official explanations as propaganda. For example, the privatization of state assets has been aggressively promoted principally because they provide new homes for investment dollars -- not necessarilly because the private sector can more efficiently run these enterprises (which in fact they often can not).

Shutt suggests that the industrial economies have created an untenable situation for themselves. Public debt has been increased in order to prop up asset values (witness the Savings and Loan bank bail-out in the U.S. and other corporate welfare policies), making it difficult for governments to invest in either their own infrastructures or third world governments. This means that the world economy can not grow at a fast enough pace to satisfy the needs of private capital. Eventually, the oversupply of capital will lead to a crash in asset values.

Events that have occurred after the book's publication suggest that the author was on the mark. The Internet stock investment mania and its subsequent collapse illustrates how desperately capital latches onto any opportunity that might promise above-average profits, however risky it may actually be.

Shutt finishes the book with an outline of what the world might look like following a crash of the present system. The author suggests that an institution such as the European Union (or more precisely, an expanded and modified version of the E.U.) could be used to manage a more just and equitable system: namely one that balances the needs of labor, environment and capital, with primacy given to local, sustainable business enterprises that are fully accountable to the public.

Book Description

With over 100 million books in print, major motion pictures that have broken all box-office records in its first few weeks of release, and countless spin-off books, games, toys and other merchandise, Harry Potter is truly a cultural phenomenon. But what kind of culture does Harry Potter represent? Although the books may seem harmless and charming, Catholic parents, teachers and clergy are asking, "Is Harry Potter's dark world of sorcery and witchcraft really good for Christian kids?"

Convert from the Occult

In the comprehensive new three-tape set The Trouble with Harry, lay-Catholic apologist and EWTN Radio personality, Matthew Arnold, takes a critical look at the amazingly popular Potter books, the blockbuster movie and the cultural controversy that surrounds them.

From the unique perspective of a convert from occult beliefs and practices, he begins with an overview of the debate over the suitability of the Potter series, presenting the arguments both for and against this kind of material from concerned Catholics and mainline Christians. As you listen, you'll discover that the concerns about J.K. Rowling's trendy tales of kids and the supernatural world are not the "knee-jerk" response of dim-witted Fundamentalism, but the reasoned reflections of some of the most respected thinkers in contemporary Christianity.

Disturbing Trend

In these engaging and informative presentations you'll find the answers to questions like, "Isn't Harry Potter just a fantasy? Haven't fairy tales always had witches and magic? What about Christian fantasy like C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, or J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings?"

Comparing these classics with the work of J.K Rowling, Matthew Arnold raises this question in reply, "When did the witches and wielders of black magic become the 'good guys?'" Exposing the disturbing trend of "paganization" in children's literature, Matthew demonstrates why Catholic philosophers from St. Augustine to Pope John Paul II have consistently warned against allowing things into the minds of your children that may undermine their faith. You'll discover the real and present danger of allowing un-Christian views of the supernatural to become cherished childhood memories-memories that could one day be a stumbling block to accepting an authentically Christian worldview.

Desensitizing Exposure

With ample references to Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the words of the saints, Matthew Arnold also draws upon his own experience in the world of the occult, as well as the expert opinions of contemporary Catholic writers like Michael O'Brien (author of "Father Elijah") and classic reflections from Catholic literary giants J.R.R. Tolkien and G.K. Chesterton.

Speaking as a Catholic father, who as a youth entered into the dark world of the occult precisely because of fantasy fiction, Matthew says, "While Rowling's books may be fantasy, we must realize that the occult is real. And just like violence and pornography, kids are desensitized by exposure." Order The Trouble with Harry, today and get the information you need to protect the minds and hearts of the Church's most precious asset-our children

Informative and Revealing.......2004-08-04

I have listened to this tape series. (Note the one person blasting this "book that he read.") Matthew Arnold does a thorough job of analyzing Harry Potter and both sides of it.
In the first tape he looks at the common arguments for the books and against the books.
In the second tape he clearly shows why Harry Potter is distinctly different from Narnia and Lord of the Rings.
In the last tape he explores the occult links in the H.P. books themselves.
This series is definately worthwhile to listen to for its informative style. Anyone who claims to have "an open mind" needs to hear these arguements. It is not hate filled, rather it is a well reasoned, logical argument. Matthew Arnold also comes from an occult background which gives him sensitively to the subject of the occult.
I highly recommend this series for anyone who wants a just the facts analysis of Harry Potter.

"Paganization?".......2003-12-16

I'd like to point out the religious discrimination put forth by Mr. Arnold and his critique of paganization.

First of all, the term pagan first came into usage to religious devotees who did not follow Christianity. Many pagan religions, communities, and healers were stomped out in the "witch burnings" which happened to kill more people than the Holocaust. Some people now are trying to find out more about these religions and the values that they hold. Today, paganism refers to a number of varied and scattered religious beliefs vaguely connected to the Western European (and some other areas) indigenous spirituality.

Secondly, Harry Potter does not depict paganism!!! It depicts characters using a fantasy-genre based magic that is presented as a fact of life and not a spirituality. That is simply the placement of the book. If another book was simply set in London, without talking about Christianity, specifically showing Christians, or visiting a church, it would be ludicrous to think that it was promoting Christianity. But this is exactly the type of critique Mr. Arnold makes.

Finally, I would ask you how you would respond to a criticism we ought to be aware of Schindler's List because it promotes Judaism, the Horacio Alger story because it promotes Protestantism, Aladdin because it promotes Islam, or the Lion King because it promotes Paganism (a more realistic claim). Those arguments would be received as discriminatory, hateful, and a bit silly. I hope you respond to The Trouble With Harry in a similar way.

trouble? with Harry Potter?.......2003-11-18

I read the first 2 books in the Harry Potter series and then listened to Matthew Arnold's audio tapes (twice!) I found Arnold's series insightful and well researched. I realized in listening to this audio set that I need to be more critical of what I read, listen to, and watch on television. Matthew Arnold addresses the Harry Potter series, but also the sad fact that many of us have lost the ability to critically analyze what we read. I enjoyed this audio set and have recommended it to many friends who have questions regarding Harry Potter books. It is good not only for Catholics, but all parents who are concerned about good reading materials for their children! A++

The Truth Hurts.......2003-10-13

Funny... I had reviewed this audio set last month and it still isn't posted. I just wanted to say that this is the best researched information out there. I doubt the people who reviewed this set even listened to it. Especially the one who says she "read" it, since it isn't a book but an audio set! Matthew Arnold gives a truly Catholic perspective and obviously is educating us Catholics on what that really is. For you "faithful" and "devout" Catholics who I know pray your rosaries every day - try reading the lives of the saints or the early church fathers instead of this disguised "Satanic" Harry Potter trash. Do all for the glory of God. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us!

Alarming.......2003-09-09

As a faithful Catholic I am alarmed at materials like this which give the Catholic Church a bad image, put out as they are by people with a very narrow viewpoint of what it means to be Catholic. This is another example, in my opinion, of someone using the Harry Potter name and popularity to their own ends. While I respect Mr. Arnold's right to his opinion, to label it as "Catholic" is misleading, to say the least. He would do well to read the excellent study "The Hidden Key to Harry Potter: Understanding the Meaning, Genius, and Popularity of Joanne Rowling's Harry Potter Novels" by John Granger if he wants to see how to make an intelligent statement on this issue.

Great movie, great book.......2001-09-17

The Trouble With Harry by JT Story is a fun little book about a dead guy who nobody really cares about. The 1955 movie by Alfred Hitchcock is also very quirky. I saw the movie first, and I am a very big hitchcock fan, so I would probably say the movie is better. But, if you can manage to get your hands on a copy, its worth it. I had to special order mine from the UK, cost me about $60, but I'm glad i did. Entertaining book, easy read. If you like this, check out Drowning Mona. Much of the same dark comedy, but its very recent.

A Great Black Comedy, Hilarious and Sweet.......2000-12-23

THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY is a hilarious book that is so endearing that it would fit as a children's story if not for some inappropriate things. It is a well-written story with developed and wonderful characters, wonderful morbid and black touches, and satisfying conclusions. This book was adapted by Alfred Hitchcock into a movie which is wonderful, too. Not everything is included in the movie, so I recommend this book. I watched the movie first so, I know that there are some really funny things in this book not included in the movie. One of the best characters is Mrs. Gravely. Also, for those who have read the book and seen the movie, I like the books story of the hedgehogs. It's odd how both the captain and Sam seemed to feel more sympathetic of the animals than of the person, while Jennifer didn't seem to care at all. Anyway, read the book, it is wonderful.

Great.......2000-06-01

Trouble with Harry is a great book. It explores trust, murder, suspense and great themes. It is a great story, with a great plot. Alfred Hitchcock did great transforming this novel to a movie, but the novel is better. It is a great novel that deserves to be read. You won't be dissapointed if you read it.

Product Description

The Trouble with Harry is a true story about Harry the cat. Born to a stray cat in Greece, on the island of Aegina, Harry was sick and almost blind when he was rescued and looked after by various people on the island. When two young Canadian women visited Greece, they fell in love with Harry and decided to take him home with them. Harry loved Canada and his life there; he loved to climb on people's laps; he loved to smell flowers; he loved to roam in the back yard. Though technically blind, he probably saw shadows and shapes of things. But he coped so well with his lack of eyesight, it was hard to believe sometimes that he couldn't see. He could always find a friendly lap to climb up on; he would turn his face to the sun to feel its warmth; he loved to roam in the back yard and smell the flowers and roll around in the grass. You could say that he was one lucky cat but as Kathryn once said: "We were the lucky ones." Harry lived happily with his human friends for eight years until he died in 2003. This story is dedicated to him. He is also featured on a number of animal welfare brochures published in Athens, Greece, by the Society for the Protection of Stray Animals.
