Nika Float zjn — Splendid. I last read this twenty years ago and it still bears reading again. Only four stars because the story is TOLD rather than SHOWN but heartily recommended nonetheless. A clever twist, too.

Yarttak Chhuy yarttak — Everyone who has written a negative review of this seems to attract trolls so I'll keep my full opinion to myself and say merely that it was not my cup of tea. Probably would have given it two stars except for the fact that it is the first book...after 2.5yrs of trying... I have ever given up without finishing.

Collin Pierson _ollin_ierson — This review is also posted on my blog, In The Good Books. Stay follows Clara, who details the story of why she came to the seaside interwoven with her story that begun there. She and her father are leaving for the summer to escape Clara's emotionally abusive and obsessive ex-boyfriend, and realise that the past will follow them, but that doesn't mean they can't create a new future. Clara's recount of her relationship with Christian originally made their relationship feel normal, but in hindsight, she pointed out problems she didn't see at the time. Christian's obsessive behaviour worsened gradually, and Clara thinking she was always in the wrong, waiting for it to get better, was a realistic reaction. Their relationship felt so true to abusive ones in real life that I could almost believe the book to be non-fiction. Deb Caletti's writing style is beautiful and has a poetic flow to it. Her prose is captivating and her characters' voice shines through. Also, including a present parental figure like Clara's dad added an interesting dynamic. Is anyone else sick of protagonist's with absentee parents/are orphaned? The book took me on an emotional roller coaster. I was completely enthralled like I didn't expect I would be about a book with a premise so new to me. The ending didn't bring complete closure, but it got as close I expect a situation like Clara's would get to being settled in real life. The ending had a hopeful tone, and I felt genuinely pleased for Clara and her father. Stay is the first book by Deb Caletti I've read, and it definitely will not be the last. Look out for it after the 5th of April, 2011. I give it a 5 out of 5.

子宸 叶 kokosnoot — I love Kadir Nelson's illustrations!!!

Denis Serikov _enisbox — 1981 Caldecott Medal Winner Another one where I'm not sure about the illustrations... ink and watercolor? Oh well, they're pretty anyway. A series of modern fables on themes such as "At times, a change of routine can be most healthful," or "A child's conduct will reflect the ways of his parents." Interesting, but nothing special.

Arthur Daniel _iklt — This is based on a fairy tale I had never heard before. The actual fairy tale is told in snippets at the beginning of each chapter, so you get the expanded story along with the tale from which it was developed. I enjoyed the story, told from many points of view, and covering 16th century England (as opposed to Germany, home of the Brothers' Grimm who wrote the tale) and an adjacent fairy realm. I could have done without the language of the times, though. The thees and thous and dosts and whilsts wore on me. And I have yet to figure out why it was the trend then to use an in place of if sometimes. But getting around the language wasn't too daunting of a task to keep me from finishing the story.

Joaquin Robles joaquin_robles — This is the memoir of Patchett's friendship with Lucy Grealy, who wrote Autobiography of a Face, and it's beautiful. I use three criteria to determine whether or not I think a book is really great: 1. Did it make me cry? 2. Did I immediately recommend it to other people? 3. Did it make me want to write something? This book did all three. Patchett isn't preoccupied with glorifying Grealy or trying to make her look like a saint, and that makes this book a better, and more honest, tribute to her friend. She shows the truth about great friends: that being so close to someone else means you have to tear each other apart sometimes, that it feels more like you're married because you get so jealous or so clingy, that sometimes all you want is to get away from them and other times you don't want to be around anyone else because no one "gets" you. Patchett doesn't pretend that any of this is foreign or weird, and that's why it works so well; the relationship feels real and honest and relatable. Bonus points for Sarah Lawrence references, where she and Grealy both went to school. Her depictions of social life there are spot-on. (Look for Tom Lux's cameo and the awful, awkward exchange between Grealy and Patchett in Bates.) Highly, highly recommended. Please read this.
