I also would like to mention that Rapid Share is no longer allowing some users to redeem there points to there premium account any longer wonder why? Instead you can only redeem them to open and start a new account which to me is useless because I not only download from an account I use it to upload as well.
I had enough points to redeem my regular account as I have always done since last year, but today I went to redeem those points and it would not allow me. The only option was to redeem them for a new one month account. Then once I did this there was no email notification about my new account login info.
The sites main page showed it for a moment but I lost my connection thus loosing the page and the new account info that was being displayed on it. I also lost points for an account I did not want and now can not use. I will be sending them an email about this issue and how I am very displeased with there new policy.
My regular account which holds all my main S. A files and links are going to expire. Expiration date: Wed, Dec Now normally every month I can redeem my points and re-new this account. I use too pay every month for about almost 2 years until I started uploading and redeeming points after all that is the whole idea and Rapid Share made this rule not me.
But it would seem that Rapid Share is kind of going back on there own rules these days or at least modifying them to there benefit. Now I can understand them wanting to make some changes because of money this is one of the main reasons they are doing this. But they are also one of the largest file hosting services to date, and have plenty of that green stuff rolling in trust me.
But when you think of how many members they now have not including the ads and sponsors that are raking in big money for this huge file sharing site, which by the way has other affiliate sites bringing in large amounts of revenue as well. I cannot agree with this new policy without getting a bitter taste of greed in my mega bytes. But too top it off I then looked at some of my files and noticed some were gone deleted without me even knowing and yes they reserve the right to do this I know its in there policy.
I think Rapid Share has become a bit too greedy this last year or so, and I am noticing that they have been removing a lot more files from users lately due to copyright issues of course, and I can understand this. Perhaps the mighty Rapid Share is starting to buckle from the many court problems it has had to face in the last year or so perhaps they need more revenue to pay off all those law suits you think?
But once again they reserve the right to change what ever they want when they want without notice to there paying customers; you know the ones like you and me that made them so bloody rich and huge in the first place.
First it was 60 days then 90 days and now back to 60 days and now there points system also has become somewhat useless ,these guys are changing there minds and there rules more then I can shake a file at.
Next thing you know it might be 30 days starting in February who knows? They sure seem to be having trouble figuring it out it changes every 4 months. As for the deletion of files well I kind of understand this reasoning since storage online is expensive and if a file is dead for 2 months I guess this is cause to delete the file point taken. But at the same time if your paying for it you should have the choice to keep it or Rapid could at least create an option for members if they so choose to keep such files simply opt to pay an extra small storage fee optional of course but simple yes?
Now I know this is a bit different then that scenario, but seriously Rapid needs to start giving its members some new options or there going to end up loosing in the end trust me. If it was supposed to be an emotional humanisation of the deep suffering of a Holocaust survivor and his daughter, sorry - epic fail. View 2 comments. Feb 11, Lizp rated it it was amazing. This book was a wonderful read. I love the way Lily Brett writes. I loved Edek. The main character, Ruth who runs a letter writing business in New York, is also excellent.
She is very keen to go to Poland with Edek, as she wants to make sense of the past, the extermination of her family. The description of their time in Poland is he This book was a wonderful read. The description of their time in Poland is heartbreaking, yet sometimes funny. The Zofia and Walentyna characters are very well drawn. She then becomes sad as she thinks of Norman, her first love.
Zofia is after Edek. Ruth is not happy. She thinks Zofia, at 63, is too young for her Dad. Zofia a great woman for poetic license says she has said no to men of thirty. Ruth was impressed. No men of thirty were running after her! I was taken aback to read one reviewer on here describing the book as trashy chick lit! I enjoyed the ending, albeit it being abrupt. Dec 17, Rebecca rated it it was ok. I actually really liked this book. The only reason I rated it just "OK" is because it ends so abruptly, in the middle of a sentence, and not like a freeze-frame ending.
More like "my copy of this book must be missing the last several pages. Why did the author do this? This book deals with the impact of the holocaust in Europe during WWII, not just on survivors but on the survivors' children.
Was the abrupt end I actually really liked this book. Was the abrupt ending an attempt to put the reader in the same position as victims of the holocaust, who had their lives cut off so unnecessarily and suddenly? That's the only explanation I can think of. They never got to find out what would have happened either. It's so sad. But I still want to know what happens, because I really liked the main character. I have been hoping there would be a sequel, but it's been years and there has been nothing.
I read this in hardcover. It was a Christmas gift back in the days before iPods and e-readers. I still have the book on a shelf, and every time I see it, it bugs me.
What the heck was the author thinking? You'll either love it or hate it. Personally, I loved it and love all Lily Brett's books, as 'difficult' and frustrating as the characters can be, I love them dearly. Just like my own family! Who knows. I just like it a a lot.

This was another book club choice. I really liked it. Good choice! What I liked: There are so many things I like about this book. I liked both the main characters: I identified with Ruth as an independent woman, a runner, a writer, and most important, someone who thinks critically about her surroundings and tries to get This was another book club choice.
She keeps correcting those who refer to Auschwitz as a museum rather than as a death camp. I liked Edek — an energetic man who makes friends everywhere, and seems surprisingly at ease in Poland, in contrast to Ruth, who seems more traumatized, even though he is the Holocaust survivor. This book gets across the idea that the second generation suffered too, in its own way. There is a scene where the family tries to reclaim some of their own possessions. There is so much information about Jewish life in Poland, historical events, the Holocaust, Polish attacks against Jews after the Holocaust.
It is provided organically, through conversations between characters, including the long-dead historical figure who is a character in the book. This figure provides a Nazi perspective on that period, which is interesting. This is an intelligent book, with comments that resonate, such as our obsequious behaviour to the wealthy in our community, and the reasons for it, and the discussion of latent Polish anti-Semitism.
This really resonated with me — I have had Polish colleagues at several workplaces, including the present one, and some of them provide the same reason as the one in the book as to why Poland is not anti-Semitic — the huge Jewish population that existed there for centuries.
I never find this argument particularly compelling. This is as uncomfortable to me as it is to Ruth in the book. And she rattles off all the reasons why. I really identified with some of her feelings, although at a few points she goes overboard and seems to be really anti-Polish without giving individuals a chance. The pogroms of mainly in Russia, Ukraine, and Bessarabia convinced him that Canada was a better choice after all.
This book is turning me off my idea of going to Poland. I have been considering going on one of those tours, or a March of the Living at some point in the next few years. At the book club meeting about this book, we had a great discussion. Another woman, child of survivors, really liked this book as well. Another member had been to Poland and some of the places that Ruth and Edek visit in the novel. She validated many of the descriptions from the book, although her reactions were different.
This is a bit of overkill. I liked that he added factual information about Nazis during the Holocaust. However, I was really not interested in his adventures in the afterlife, and I found his connection to Ruth disturbing and unnecessary. It detracted from the flow of the main story. Sarah Al-Arshani.
