Hikikomo Lee hikikomolee7dd8 — I had to read this book for my literature and sexualities class. I thoroughly enjoyed this book but it makes me sad to read about parents who don't accept their children for who they are... especially when the parents are religious. Isn't god supposed to love and accept everyone? However, in most cases, said parents aren't the relaxed "I-go-to-church-but-still-have-a-beer-and-use-the-occasional-curse-word" type people... they are devout to the extent of fanaticism. I can't contribute much to any discussion of religion except to say that: 1) I am not religious but 2) I accept people who are. It bothers me when Christians are hypocritical and can't love/accept everyone, which turns back around to my previous point of parents who are unable to love/accept their children. And... for having a mother like this, Jeanette Winterson does a pretty good job of coping.

Will Huang willhuang — Just a note: There's a spoiler in the final third of this review, but it shouldn't matter to you because it is an annoying spoiler and part of the reason you shouldn't read The Way Home. ON WITH THE REVIEW!! I expected more from one of the writers of The Wire. I guess this is unfair to George Pelecanos. I mean it's not his fault that the other fiction writers associated with The Best Show Ever Aired are all gods of the crime-fiction realm. Not everyone can be Dennis Lehane, Richard Price, or even David Simon, who wrote one of the best nonficiton cop books ever. Not everyone can be great. But not everyone has to be George Pelecanos, either. It's not that The Way Home is terrible in every regard. In some ways, it is PERFECTLY...adequate. The plot, about a group of juvie offenders who get released and rehabilitated (to varying degrees) and then later accidentally get caught up in some Bad Things, is ok if as unoriginal as an episode of Two and a Half Men. But still, credit GP for attempting something about more than action-action-action. It's about friendship and loyalty, family and love, right and wrong. It's about a parent's decisions. It's also about some lazy-ass writing. Pelecanos DESPERATELY wants to set a mood and tone akin to those set by Price and Lehane. You can smell it. He wants to say Big Things. But he just can't do it. He graduated at the top of the class in the "Tell, Don't Show School," and the laziness (or just clumsiness)he learned there single-handedly destroys anything good that does manage to shine through. Here are two sentences, totally without context, that SHOW what I'm talking about: "Chris called Ali and had a brief conversation." Oh, DID he now? I wonder what was said in that conversation? Was it important? Were there knock-knock jokes? IF ONLY there was some way to show people what could have possibly been said! Some sort of...marks or something that could signify that, hey, people are talking here! This isn't the narrator's words! Seriously. Inexcusable and just fucking annoying. Example deux: "Renee became hysterical upon learning the news of Ben's violent death." This sentence comes during a pivotal moment after a major character gets waxed. The main character has gone to break the bad news to the new corpse's girlfriend. These are MAJOR players in this book. And that's all we get. She 'became hysterical.' Well. It's good to know that she reacted to the news! I'll bet Jackie O 'became hysterical' one day in 1963 as well! I mean, really? That's all you got? Did she break down and cry? Violate her pet bunny with a plunger handle? Or simply drink some tea that was, quite frankly, too hot? What kind of 'hysteria' we talking here? I'll admit that I stopped reading pretty much after this sentence. I skimmed the rest, just because I did have some time invested. And even though I don't know the details of the last 100 pages or so, there is a random paragraph on the final page that is so...out of place and stupid that it makes me want to go back through all 5 seasons of The Wire to see if there are any obvious parts ruined by this hack.
