Dustin Day pasted_ — This book was a refreshing reminder of everything I love about reading. The story moved so well and with such ease. I'd say in the manner of Go Ask Alice, it is timeless in message with a character so real that you believe every detail as if you are reading about a friend. I think that many of us have been in situations where we have felt like an outcast. I could relate to Melinda on two levels. Level one being the child in me who dealt with her own issues of feeling outside the circle and had her own secrets to keep. Level two being the mom in me who simply just wanted to grasp Melinda and hold her. The story was fresh with feeling and a plot that was entirely believable. Each character seemed to be someone you just might know. The student body was compiled of types we all knew. I was transported from page one to another time and another place that somehow I knew as well as my own. To say I loved it is an understatement. Lastly...the book moved me to emotion. You can't ask for better than that. If you have not read Speak, I highly recommend it.

Marie Leopoldie _ika_ — This is one of those books that I would rather rate 3.5. The allusion here is to Shakespeare, and the three sisters are Rose (Rosalind), Bean, (Bianca), and Cordy (Cordelia), daughters of a Shakespeare professor at a small Ohio college, Barnwell, now all aged on either side of thirty. Rose has never left home, mostly feeling responsibility for her parents; Bean is just come home, having been found out as a thief from the company payroll, and having lived far too high and promiscuous a life; and Cordy has just come home from several years in hippie existence, now pregnant, but still the family favorite. The three names are well-chosen, and speak directly to the characters - Rose really needs to go out and spend a fun year in the forest of Arden, not being responsible for anything but her own happiness, perhaps building a life with her fiance; Bean is as vacuous and materialistic as Bianca, and needs to value herself; and Cordy does rise to the occasion to manage her aging parents, particularly her mother, whose breast cancer is bringing the family together. I liked and did not like this book. The characters are constantly quoting Shakespeare to each other, which I liked but I wish I had known more of the specific play sources. The characteristics of the sisters are described over and over - the plot should have moved on a lot sooner, as it was not necessary to recharacterize them so many times. Ultimately this book reminds me more of Little Women than anything from Shakespeare, but that may be simply because LW seems to be the ultimate story of sisters without brothers. One device that I liked a lot was the use of a "we" first person for the narrative, with we being the sisters collectively, or the other two, when describing one sister. Hard to describe, but that worked well.

Natalia Bejarano _att_iveros — devastating but beautiful....the author has such a mastery of language. I felt like I knew these women.

Alex Liu northvipc763 — I enjoyed this in the same way I did the documentary trekkies and strangely enough, I kind of want to go to a scrabble tournament to see if I can impress women with my 2-letter word skills. Check out scrabbulous.com...I got housed by a twelve year old last night who told me to "go back to the sandbox." even with a triple word score using quince. I need to work on my scrabble trash talk skills Boyz In The Hood style. "Domino mutha fucka!"

Minju Kim _i_in_u — VERY INTERESTING AND KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. COULD FEEL THE PAIN OF THE CHARACTERS BECAUSE THE WRITER IS SO DESCRIPTIVE

Gyozo Jenes jenesgy — True confession: I have a serious love of Westerns - not so much the books, but the movies and TV shows. My father started me on them when I was a little girl. The first movie I remember seeing was the Seven Samurai, I still remember my father holding me on his lap while we watched. Seven SamuraiFirefly and if you haven't seen The Quick and the Dead you're missing out. Did I mention that the books and I just don't get along? I'm not entirely sure why other than that I really want them translated across the screen. It's one of the few genres where I prefer someone else to see it for me. Blood Red Road is a Western and it's going to be huge. The movie rights have been optioned by Ridley Scott and once you read the book you'll know why. Please don't skip the book and wait for the movie. The book is fabulous. Honestly, it had me in the synopsis with the phrase "gang of girl revolutionaries," but the reality of it is more than I imagined. The book is beautifully written with sparse words to mirror the spare landscape. Every character in the book is fully imagined. The main character, Saba, takes a glorious hero's journey complete with vulnerabilities, doubts, fear, and romance. She's not always nice and she's too independent for her own good, but people and circumstance force her to grow. Perhaps my favorite thing about this book is the way Ms. Young combines both Western and post-apocalyptic tropes (many of which come right straight out of video games like Fallout) into something completely unique. Like The Angels are the Reapers, the apocalypse is a fact and part of the landscape rather than something central to the book. I love the relationships in this book as Saba learns to love her little sister as much as she once hated her. Character growth is steady and realistic and my heart was fully engaged throughout. This is a book where girls rescue boys, but both genders are whole people with flaws and weaknesses and strength. A book where gender doesn't determine capability, where romance comes when you are least expecting it and least ready. A book that illustrates a budding romance that is realistic and not based on emotionally unavailable boys, a romance that is not emotionally abusive. I want to buy a copy for every girl (no matter the age) that I know. Book one in a proposed series, I'll be first in line for the next book and first in line for the movie, too.

Furkan Kubur furki860fk3325 — I rarely ever read adult books (I love middle-grade and teen lit and read that almost exclusively) and this book reminded me why. Though I did end up liking the characters and actual story, there were some themes/situations that I really did not care for and I wish I hadn't read them. The story is complicated and jumps back and forth from the past of Camilla Dickinson's life to the present, with no warning, with scenes in the present of her granddaughter Raffi visiting her and also some phone conversations with children and in-laws. It took a while to get into it and get used to all the skipping around. I had recently read "Camilla," so it was nice to read about her adult life...even though it was rather sad at times.
