a terrific and moving account of a young gay man growing up in the south during the civil rights movement. it felt timely to be reading this right now--tony kushner makes the point powerfully in the intro, so i'm going to quote a long passage: It articulates a crying need for solidarity, it performs the crucial function of remembering, for the queer community, how essential to the birth of our politics of liberation the civil rights movement was. The point, it seems to me, is not that one movement co-opts the energy or the nobility or the history of another; not that one people, rising to an angry knowledge of how it has been abused, competes for status of "most abused" with any other; but rather that we need to know the genealogies of our movements, and with that knowledge come to understand the interdependence of all liberation struggles. i'd really be fascinated to know how much of this story is autobiographical. i'm sure i'll read this again, in part to be able to devote less attention to plot and more attention to cruse's incredibly detailed artwork. at some point in the middle of reading this i read his acknowledgements at the end, and he described all the research he did on the historically accurate depiction of everything in the book--from cars and architecture to guns, movie cameras, record labels, and "other collectibles of a bygone era"--and then i really realized how much more impressive the drawings are. i've read a little bit about how cruse went deeply into debt to write this book, which took 4 years--now i feel guilty for buying the book used. he deserves my dollars! anyway, a great read, highly recommended.

Really enjoyed this..... Typical Jodi with the twist at the end! Must say was a bit predictable towards end however was still great1!
Meh-I didn't love the book, and I can't quite figure out why. It may just not have been the right book for me at the right time. It was a well written,vivid portrayal of life during the civil war, highlighting what the opportunities (or lack their of) that were available for women at the time. It also included lots of interesting information about the state of medicine at the time. The book received a star review from SLJ, Booklist, and even Kirkus--so just because I didn't love it doesn't mean that it's not a good book. I wouldn't hesitate to put it on a historical fiction bib--I think it's a good recommendation for middle school students--I think anyone much younger then that would be confused by all of the medical and scientific vocabulary that is included.

I enjoy a good memoir. I laughed out loud at this one. Sedaris takes the mundane and the quirky to new heights.

E.L. Doctorow is a genius. The book is brilliant, just brilliant. "About" the Rosenberg trial, in the way that Ragtime is "about" Houdini, or The March "about" Sherman. It's heavy reading, a bit more in the vein of City of God than Ragtime.
I have a fun story to tell. There is a part of the story that takes place on the Staten Island Ferry, which I read while travelling on the ferry from SI to Manhattan.

A beautiful story with great description of the Chinese countryside in the 70s. Glad to have read it prior to watching the movie.

Great debut novel from Ian Esslemont. It takes place in the same world as the Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson; the two authors co-created that world. If I could go back and change the order in which I read all the books by these two guys, I would read Night of Knives first, then the first six volumes of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, then Esslemont's second book, Return of the Crimson Guard.

hmm. it was sort of interesting to read about delilah's life story, especially her relationships with her adopted children, but all that in-group religious pep talk seriously got on my nerves. and i really did not get much insight from this book at all.

When I first starting reading, I was mesmerized, captured. The story pulled me in immediately. After the first few chapters, I had to set the book down and take a break. It was too tough to read. The scenes were all too graphic, emotional. This was not a reflection of the story or the writing; just the unimaginable horror about to be described. Ms. de Rosnay is an excellent writer. Her use of the English language, intermingled with her French, including her reference to many things Parisian, took me away into a world I didn't want to be in. But the writing drew me in further and further. The flashback technique was well-done. The chapters were very short, I loved it. Overall, I highly recommend this book. Like many books, ending are very tough to write. I found the ending rather predictable, which left me a bit deflated. But at least there was closure. I also thought that Zoe, the little French-American daughter was unrealistically mature. And I guess I don't get it. Why would this woman, the journalist, be so obsessed with the Jewish family who once lived in the apartment she was to live in. I understand the discomfort with it but no the obsession that drove her to finding the family and confronting them. Sadly, in my opinion, she ruined lives. And the reason she did...selfishly wanting to let the family know her family cared about them. Overall, great read but be prepared for tears and admonishment for the Nazi era.
