Read this book for what it is...not what you think it should be. I read it a few years ago and loved it because it was an interesting story told well. I recently re-read parts of it after taking several writing classes and now I can say it's definitely not the literary masterpiece that I once thought it was. I think there's a lot of unnecessary post-James Frey fuss about this book, and also I think Burrough's second book, "Dry," about his struggle with alcoholism, is much better.

I had the kind of high hopes for "Dude You're a Fag" that were bound to leave me disappointed. It would've been impossible for the author to exhaustively cover absolutely everything I hoped she would about masculinity and sexual identity development in high school in a couple hundred pages. What's left, then, is a nonfiction work that is at times fascinating and at others deeply frustrating with its lack of information. Pascoe sets out to earn her PhD by studying masculinity within the dynamics of a small town California high school. It's racially diverse and indeed some of her most interesting observations come in the different way that masculinity manifests between White and Black students. (It is a little disappointing that while students of most ethnic backgrounds identify as either Black or White, there's a third socially recognized ethnic group of Latino students who speak no English, but Pascoe fails to interact with them at all since she doesn't speak Spanish. She didn't have a Spanish-speaking friend to help her out? It seems like even interviewing one or two students would've added quite a bit to the study.) The real highlight of the book was the chapter about masculine girls in the school, which primarily documented two very distinct cliques - the popular "basketball girls" who identified primarily as nonwhite and included open lesbians among their ranks, while adopting some of the clothing and culture of straight Black men, and the "GSA girls" who included mostly white lesbians who identified with more of a goth or punk culture. Her observations were fascinating, although I did take some issue with the treatment of the basketball girls' harassment of other female students as mostly harmless. Maybe I've been reading too much Julia Serano for my own good, but my immediate thought was that these girls weren't bending gender stereotypes so much as adopting masculine behaviors and deriving a higher social status from demonizing femininity. When describing how they threw food at other students in the cafeteria, Pascoe dismisses it as almost cute while elsewhere regarding the hazing of the school's only openly gay student Ricky, who has to change routes home because people throw things at him, as tragic and hateful. I am not arguing with the latter point, but failed to see the basketball girls' hazing of feminine students as quite so butch-girls-will-be-butch-girls benign. Perhaps the main area that I wish the book had covered more was how gay males functioned within the school's social structure. The story of Ricky is thorough and heartbreaking, but while Pascoe mentions at least one closeted gay male (one of the drama students), she never actually talks about his experiences beyond that. Since a good part of the book is devoted to how the administrators and school institution reinforce heterosexuality as normative behavior, it would have been nice if her writing and/or research had touched upon what effects of this structured endorsement had upon gay (and for that matter lesbian) students. Unfortunately beyond Ricky's story there's nothing here about gay men, perhaps the biggest disappointment of the book. The very issue of school as structure enforcing heterosexist norms, however, is mentioned repeatedly but never really defended well. Surely society as a whole has enough heterosexually-focused institutions that the high school isn't imposing assumptions on students they won't encounter elsewhere, and while that doesn't defend the practice there's also little time devoted to why the existence of gender-coded graduation gowns, differences in attire expectations between genders, school dances, or even the proclaimed horror of one teacher posting photos her students had given her from their school dances on a wall in the classroom (called by the author a "shrine to heterosexuality") actually hurts students, particularly ones who are not heterosexual. On the whole "Dude You're a Fag" was a fascinating read once I escaped the book's tedious first chapter, which is loaded down with sociology jargon (I'll be happy to never again read a book that contains the word "post-structuralist"). In particular the ways in which sexism and heterosexism were institutionalized and the suggested policy changes made the book a worthwhile read for anyone in a position to change these things. Seeing how ineffective anti-harassment laws can be in the context of school teachers and administrators unwilling to enforce them was sobering, and realizing how different Ricky's fate might have been had he been part of a stable, wealthy family willing to insist upon laws made to protect him being held up made me wonder how at-risk gay teens can be helped effectively.

This is simply one of the best books I've ever read. It's about a beautiful woman who is the kind of mother any woman can strive every day to be. This is an inspirational book about race, about life and about just making good choices, no matter what life throws your way. I loved this family and I loved this book.

** spoiler alert ** I loved this book, just like the first book in the Percy Jackson series! This one was even more captivating and intense! In The Sea of Monsters, Rick Riordan once again wove Greek mythology figures into the story, but this time, the main focus was not a stolen lightning bolt, but a poisoned tree. The tree that protects Camp Half-Blood from mortals and monsters was originally Thalia, Zeus's daughter. Then, she was in a fight with monsters and sacrificed herself to save her friends. She was turned into a tree to protect the camp and "watch over them." This protection was slowly weakening and wearing out because somebody had poisoned Thalia's tree! The only way to possibly cure it is to find the Golden Fleece, a magical fleece that will bring life into everything near it. The problem is, the Golden Fleece is impossible to get, as it is in the treacherous Sea of Monsters, or as mortals know it, the Bermuda Triangle, and in order to travel from camp, a quest must be granted. That is unlikely as Chiron, the old centaur who directed activities was replaced with Tantalus, a cruel figure who dislikes Percy very much. Finally, they convince Tantalus to grant a quest, but he gives the quest opportunity to Clarisse, daughter of Ares, and Percy's biggest enemy. Percy knows he must still venture out so he, Annabeth, and Tyson escape from camp. Tyson is a cyclops and recently found out to be a son of Poseidon as well as Percy. Annabeth, Tyson, and Percy travel for days to the Sea of Monsters, with Grover in mind as well. In his dreams, Percy has been connecting with Grover, because he was captured by a giant cyclops and is in trouble! He too is in the Sea of Monsters, so they hope to save him while finding the Golden Fleece! I loved this part of the book because it was very complicated, with everything happening at once, but very interesting and page-turning, suspenseful, and kind of funny at points! At one point in their travels, the trio runs into Clarisse, who is alone on a ship of dead war soldiers, a "gift" from Ares. Together, they travel for a while until they meet two huge monsters, Charybdis and Scylla. These two monsters sink their ship and separate them, so Annabeth and Percy are together, Clarisse is once again by herself, and sadly, Tyson is nowhere to be seen! This part was also very suspenseful, because I wanted to know what happened to Tyson. When Percy and Annabeth finally reach the island where the Golden Fleece and Grover are, they find that Clarisse has already been there. The huge cyclops had trapped Grover, thinking he is a girl cyclops and going to marry him, and the trio has to rescue him! Also, the Golden Fleece is on a tree, guarded by monster sheep. The only way to rescue both Grover and the Golden Fleece is to trick the cyclops, which they eventually do, with the help of Tyson, who returned magically, almost out of nowhere! This was very happy! When everyone returns to camp, Thalia's tree is once again healthy and powerfully protecting camp, Chiron comes back, and all is well, almost. Luke, son of Hermes, is still out to get the gods. He is trying to make Kronos, the titan ruler, come back to power and is doing all he can to accomplish this, including fight Percy! This was a nice twist to the book, and I really liked it! At the very end, what made this book so amazing was the fact that the Golden Fleece did its job too well, to the extent that Thalia came back to life as a girl. This is how Luke and Kronos planned it, so one more demigod might be on their side! I could not believe this and I loved this last chapter of the book! Overall, The Sea of Monsters was amazing, funny, sad at points, suspenseful, captivating, interesting, and just an all around great, page-turning book!

I loved the series, and this may be my favorite book from the series because it's when we first meet Harry, and Hermione and Ron, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Fred, George, so many of them. And we see them first meet each other. We had so much fun with this series as a family--I'm forever to Ms. Rowling for it.

I loved it! I sort of wished that when Raphael had brought that new girl to his office and she was his engaged to be his engaged, I was hoping that Andrea would have found someone else to make him jealous as he did her but the author had other ideas and I suppose it was more mature that Andrea first wanted to sort herself out first before even thinking about taking on a new lover. But it ended short what Raphael did to her and I was glad that it was so much love they both still had for each other. I hope there is another book from Andrea's point of view and looking forward for another installment of Kate and Curran who were in there briefly.
