Good character studies of people surviving during the Depression. I found some interesting social commentary, and quite a bit of unexpected humor.

I liked the movie better. Miranda was exactly the same for both the book and the movie, but the titular main character, Andy, was a whiny wimp in the book. Maybe I'm too much of a loner to judge fairly, but the way all her friends' problems were somehow her responsibility, or the way people couldn't handle her inability to make personal calls during work hours seemed skewed the wrong way for me. Her attitude WAS bad. The job itself was as miserable as one of the circles of Hell, but I just could not like Andy (in the book) well enough to fully appreciate how awful the situation must have been. The writing style was good, especially for a first novel. I didn't notice any awkward sentences or pacing. If I had felt any rapport for the protagonist, I'd have felt that the book moved along rather well.

"Naomi Replansky's poetry rings with reality and wisdom, and it is always song. Her observant, political wit and gravity are as piercing and as necessary now as ever – and I would say more so . . . her voice and her way of reading are among the very best we have." —Jean Valentine "Naomi Replansky is a major American poet, long overdue for acclaim. She writes skillfully, both in and out of strict form, crafting lines carefully, with concision and rare intensity. Her poems are the real thing; her collected work of a lifetime deserves the widest possible hearing." —X. J. Kennedy "Here in a book, the work of a life. All the poet Naomi Replansky is here: the dry, quiet voice, the incantatory and familiar rhythms that are never quite what you think they are, the wit, the touch of comfort, and the tongue-lash, the modesty that entirely frees her from trend, and the audacity – above all the audacity, the risk-taking, the nerve of the woman! These poems bear honest witness to what it was to be alive, really alive, in the twentieth century, and I turn to them again and again for courage to face the dark opening of the twenty-first." —Ursula Le Guin "The free and savvy poems of Naomi Replansky soar, in a speech that urgently affirms a strength we've almost forgotten we have. Clear as water and as necessary, they quicken our solitary selves. The light pulse of their instantly shared energy shows us each other and joins us in our eagerness to speak out as they do, against confusion. They are bold and embolden us. We hear the true polis alive under the dirty air of truthless ping and we participate in its power. To participate in power is freedom, Cicero says. These poems, proposing sixty years of a free woman's song, wake us up to it. Their cadences and claims uncover the given world and make us think. We do so willingly because the beat they keep is the rhythm of the heart." —Marie Ponsot

This is a fictional story of a father and daughter who flee from slavery with the help of her mother's hand crafted quilt. Each square from the quilt symbolizes some sort of help to reach their freedom in Canada. I think it is a good read for black history month and it could be used for an activity during black history month. Students could make quilts out of paper or cloth for a historical activity.

this book was a great adventure book!~
My first D Sedaris experience was a good one but it could have been better. It's hit or miss in this book.
"Loved it", but was utterly utterly terrified by it as well

well, that's not completely correct, since i never finished book. it's a...good book, but has its incredibly odd moments. if you have a burning passion for anythink japanese, or if you just want to learn about a different culture, it's a good book to read.
