Started out hating it, but ended with finding some value in the main characters evolution, and growth from a boy to a man.

Was not what I expected. Mostly narrative, without too much dialogue, recounting a group of women and their struggle during Iran's revolution. Author related Iranian women to heronines in various classical novels, and although I have not read most of those classics, I was able to follow along and understand her references. I've also been inspired to attempt reading Nabokav and James.

It's very hard to review a new book by an author you loved as a child. Is the author really not writing as well now as she did when you were young? Or are you simply no longer the target age group for the book? In the case of The Waters and the Wild, I think the answer is both. Francesca Lia Block is a wonderful writer, and her prose always glistens (even if its heavy, ethereal descriptions are an acquired taste and don't work for everyone). The prose is still beautiful here, but there are so many moments where the poetry gives way to heavy-handed metaphor and social consciousness in language that feels actively clunky. While she's always been a very conscientious writer, my instinct is to say that she's gotten less nuanced with age. On the other hand, I think some of my disappointment comes from simply growing older and not needing as much the stories of 13-year-old outcast girls who believe they may secretly be fairies in a magical realist metaphor for puberty. There are only so many times I can read Block describing jacaranda trees and the magic of Los Angeles and unlikely friendships among oddballs. Yet if I were still 13, I know my eyes would have lit up when I read this book, just as they did when I read the Weetzie Bat books and I Was a Teenage Fairy. Consequently, I would hand this book to current outcast middle schoolers without hesitation, hoping it would give them the comfort Block's older books gave to me. And Block has a talent for writing teenage characters who are authentic to the time in which she's writing, from the 80s and early 90s kids of the Weetzie Bat books to the late 90s/early 2000s teens of the novels and short stories I first encountered when I was among their number. This is Francesca Lia Block for the teenagers who barely remember the world before 9/11, authentic and devoid of the feeling of being projections of an older author's long-gone youth. Every generation deserves a Francesca Lia Block book of their own, and I sincerely hope this book can be theirs, even if it isn't mine.

A wonderful, heartfelt, honest, funny, sad, touching look at the author and her father's final five years together before his death. I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an elderly parent, to help them understand their natural but conflicted feelings in dealing with the stress of caring for an aging parent. I would also recommend this book to those who may soon be the elderly parent themselves, to see how to grow old gracefully, how to cherish every day for the small joys in them. Life is precious, relationships are important, and death is a natural part of every life.
Before I read My Antonia, I read Death Comes for the Archbishop. I had the Asian Flu at the time. So,I sat in my dormatory bed at New Mexico A&M and read this book. I fell into the story so completely and I have cherished ever sense. My tattered copy follows me everywhere I go. The Bishop is such a real and true person that when he was lost to us I could only weep. This book led me to Willa Cather. Oh Pioneers and My Antonia belong in the celestial throng of great books, and Death Comes for the Archbishop leads the way.

When you might want to leave the world behind and read something totally stupid, turn to Glory before you abandon all hope of 'serious' fiction.

don't think... blink.
just finished this yesterday - what a delightful read. i'm sorry i missed it on my first trip around the classics. wharton has a sardonic eye for the idiocy of 19th century new york society's mores and traditions, and i found myself laughing out loud more often than i had expected.
Son iki yıldır Duggars hayranıyım ve gösterilerini haftalarca sadakatle izliyorum. Bazıları biraz "şaşırtıcı" olsa bile bu kitabı çok beğendim. Yetiştirilmelerine ilişkin dürüstlükleri ve sahip oldukları yolu takip etme kararları ilham vericidir.
