Beware the cost of beauty... Gregory Maguire is one of my very favorite authors. Literally, every sentence in this book sparkled. Absolutely stunning, especially considering the dark undertones of the entire story - also remarkable when one considers the original Grimm tale he has adapted. He has stayed true to the essence of the story, while giving a voice to the voiceless characters. Very, very good.

Late to join the Stephanie Plum party but very glad I did. Stephanie gets herself into all sorts of trouble and the fun is finding her way out. She's no Barbie and definitely doesn't start out badass. She's a pretty real character and I'm excited for the next in the series.

This book really activates all the senses. When I think of this book, it makes me hungry.

Summary: A son and his dad visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to honor his grandfather. Their visit shows how much pride the family has to for their deceased relative and how much a grandchild can respect someone he has never met. Thoughts: This book hit close to home because I have visited that wall in search for the names of relatives. It's heartbreaking to hear about a child having to grow up without ever knowing his grandfather and a son losing a father at such a young age.

This fourth read from Miller was to be chock full of thoughts and insights on the harsh and hilarious realities of growing up fatherless, as he did when his father "split" when he was quite young. Unfortunately this thin book wades through tales of Miller's years spent in the garage apartment of his friend and mentor, John MacMurray, who's billed as the co-author. (I'd not want my name attached to this book if I was him.) Long story long, this book was simply a disappointment. The subject matter's of great interest; it's just that Miller really doesn't discuss it, and when he does, it's with all the depth that a high-school junior with solid English-class instruction could muster. He's really not even that great of a writer. Not once was I compelled to underline a passage or retain a sliver of the contents. I wanted meat; I was handed a bare wishbone. As for any discussion of Miller's literary merits holding up to those of, say, Anne Lamott, I've concluded recently that it's no contest. It's like comparing apples and orangutans. Lamott's writing flows; Miller's a glorified blogger.

Flowers in the Attic (and the whole Dollanganger Series) has a bad rap when really, it's exceptional writing. V.C. Andrews ~ the REAL V.C. Andrews was a clever author who wrote gripping stories but here's the rub; she stumbled on a formula that skyrocketed her to the best seller list and then she died. Her family (or whomever was in charge of her estate) didn't want to let go of a good thing and so sometime after the Dollanganger Series, My Sweet Audrina and *I think* somewhere in the middle of the Heaven Series her name was given out to one or more writers as a nom de plume and told to run with the formula and churn out the books for the bucks. It's a shame, really because if they'd left well enough alone, today Andrews would have been hailed for the brief but shining star she was. Also lending to the bad rap was the dreadful and horrendous movie (starring Kristy Swanson?) made of Flowers in the Attic sometime in the mid-80's. Talk about dragging a name through the mud. I went back 2 years ago and reread the entire series ~ this time with an adult's mindset. I was struck by the degree of substance, the intensity and the richly written characters. I challenge you to pick up Flowers in the Attic and NOT be sucked into the gripping story. It is a difficult book to put down at night. It was fresh and original writing for it's time before it became formulaic. It's heart wrenching. Back when I read it the first time I had to wait for Petals on the Wind (the best of the 5 books if you ask me) and the succeeding 3 in the series ending in Garden of Shadows (a stellar example of reading the prequel last and having that omg/holy crap moment) to BE WRITTEN and hit the shelves. Much like the waiting for the Harry Potter books to be released ~ it was sweet agony. And I will readily admit that when Catherine's story closes in book 4 (Seeds of Yesterday) it delivered a really good cry. The author DESERVES accolades for HER writing and it's a shame her name has spiraled into a formulaic if best-selling nightmare.
Oh, I love being reminded how sad life is through the power of literature. This one is written at a middle school level, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 16. It isn't graphic, but the plot is all about being sold into sex slavery. I had a student eat it up last year, and she was probably only 14, oops! I do think it is an important book to read. It's content is international, well researched, and in serious need of our attention.

This book is about how detrimental settling for things in life is and I love the sarcasm that the main character has throughout the story. It takes some of the most awkward and almost disturbing situations and spins it to make it relate-able through humor.
Good insight, but a little dramatic I think.

Todavía disfruté este libro, pero la serie sigue una fórmula establecida. Un poco desearía que ella ya pateara a Mike a la acera.
