Roberto Vertieri rvertieri — ** spoiler alert ** I liked the set up and flow of the story focusing with Clare as the constant through time, more or less. What annoyed me though is story itself. She spends her entire life waiting for him, both before he died and after and that just made me angry. On the other hand Alba was worth waiting a book for...

Isa Galván is1 — My very favorite Ayn Rand book. This one's been read twice and I've picked it up and re-read a few key parts a few times. This one's got power.

Sunny Huangfu _unny_uangfu — ** spoiler alert ** Push is the painfully graphic story of a battered child named Precious Jones. Precious Jones is sixteen years old, lives in Harlem, New York with her mother, who is an overweight shut-in. Everyone who knows Claireece calls her Precious. Claireece Jones decides to call herself Precious when she is young because she believes the meaning of the word, Precious, will make her father stop sexually abusing her. As a young child Precious is like a slave in her own home. She spends her time cooking for her mother and fantasizing unrealistically about a glamorous life. While she’s cooking and cleaning her mother, Mary, sits and watches the television. Mary receives a welfare check and food stamps. She is regularly beaten and ordered around by her jealous, reclusive mother. Her mother repeatedly tells her how stupid and worthless she is while other kids taunt her for her obesity. Her mother is jealous that her husband shows their daughter attention that she sees as being rightfully hers. She has become hardened and heartless, lacking education and social skills. Her father, Carl, is a rotating figure in her life. He does not live with the family and only stops by when he wants to have sex with Precious. He starts having sex with Precious when she was three. Her mother is right next to them the first time he has sex with Precious. She does not do anything about it. When she was twelve she left school to give birth to her first child named Little Mongo, who was born with Down's Syndrome, "short for Mongoloid Down Sinder, which is what she is; sometimes what I feel I is. I feel so stupid sometimes. So ugly, worth nuffin." Little Mongo lives with her grandmother. The baby is her father's child. Precious says he has been raping her since she was in second grade. Carl leaves for years after he finds out about Little Mongo. Her mother and father sexually abuses her. “I always did like school, jus’ seem school never did like me”. When Precious was in the second grade she was held back because she couldn’t read and peed on herself. She would come to school and sit in the class everyday. At school she would always be made fun of; her peers would call her fat and stupid. She would sit in the back of the class and stops talking to everyone. She should be a junior in high school, but is only in ninth grade. She likes Mr. Wicher even though she yelled at him on the first day of school. Sitting in Mr. Wicher’s math class Precious calls him a motherf**ker when he tells her to turn to page 122 because she doesn’t know how to read. She has remained completely illiterate. At the age of sixteen she becomes pregnant again with her fathers child. On January 15, 1988, Precious has her son, Abdul Jamal Louis Jones. Abdul means servant of God and Louis is for Farrakhan. Precious says her name means something valuable, but Claireece is someone else's name. Precious tells the social worker that Little Mongo does not live with her so Mary gets kicked off aid. All Precious thinks about in the hospital is school. She doesn't let anyone know she had a birthday in November. She is not sure how she feels about the baby. She thinks he is pretty, but knows he is a product of rape. Her life seems set to repeat the self-destructive pattern of her mother's, until her principal sends her to an alternative reading class where, with the help of a dedicated teacher and fellow students who have undergone experiences as harrowing as her own, she begins an intoxicating discovery of words, friendship, and, in the process, herself. Precious comes under the experimental pedagogy of a lesbian miracle worker named, implausibly enough, Blue Rain. Under her angelic mentorship, Precious, who has never before experienced real nurturing, learns to voice her long suppressed feelings in a journal. As her language skills improve, she finds sustenance in writing poetry, in friendships and in support groups-one for "insect" survivors and one for HIV-positive teens. Precious writes to Ms. Rain while she is in the hospital. She talks about being raped by Carl. Ms. Ran tells her to remember to put the date on her journals. Precious says she only feels bad because she has been diagnosed with HIV. Push finishes with the class book, which includes the students' life stories. Precious opens with two poems called "everi mornin" and "mornin". In "everi mornin" she compares herself to the fictional Mary who had a little lamb. Precious says AIDS and a baby followed her to school instead of a lamb. The second poem is about doing good things for her Abdul and then leaving him in another woman's arms when she goes to school. She also refers to the small pieces of grass she sees in local parks as "green diamonds," indicating that she does see some beauty in an otherwise dark world. I think that the book Push was an overall good book.
