...wide open to let in the dust and the honking and the rumble of men and women on their way to work or nowhere at all. To my right, a SPUR gas station sold a gallon for $2.45; to my left, people waited for cheap bus rides in the relentless sun, and a seafood shop sold steamed crabs, juicy and tasting of the sweetest saltwater...
...their smiles were proof that these young prodigies were flourishing here." Yes it looks horrible, but no more so than one of those frightening children's beauty contests made popular in the southern U.S. Or on a broader scale, Delisle does an outstanding job of depicting North Korea's relentless culture of fear and hostility, where "volunteers" keep unused roads tidy, where people vanish and their fate is unspoken-of and where the few forms of entertainment relentlessly depict the U.S and Japan as cruel torturers bent on destroying North Korea.

...limping behemoths like Sony have discovered, staying ahead in electronics is a relentless challenge.

Analysts, brokers, commodities traders are all wickedly caricatured, and in one of the book's most fascinating passages, Halloway's invisibility affords sweet revenge on the market...
...back to making fitness activities feel as they did when we were kids - full of fun, movement and creativity - not the drudgery of the same old 30 minutes on a treadmill or an hour at the gym. Catherine Cram Middleton, Wisconsin, U.S. In our modern society's relentless pursuit of physical fitness, we risk forgetting a crucial factor: mental well-being. Our grandparents lived healthier lives not just because they sweated more than we do but also because they fretted less. Technology helps us get more done in the least possible time, but today's lifestyles mean frazzled nerves...
