The prologue gives away the ending, and the rest of the book just sucks. Blah.
Saving Sweetness is a wonderful book to discuss personification, hyperboles, similes and metaphors. Introduce these language arts terms after reading the story. Then re-read to see if students can find examples of the terms. Another way this book could be used is in teaching different dialects. The dialect of the wild west is one most likely not known to your students. Compare this book to other books wiht different dialects so students can see the craft of giving characters personality through the way they speak. This is something all students can use in their writing, as long as they undertand the dialect. A great way to bring in culture would be to have students write a story in the dialect that is spoken at their home!
Lovely political intrigue wound within a setting medieval with a touch of magic-reminiscent of Tolkien. A must read for Fans of The Ring trilogy..
The first half of this book was particularly strong. But as the book went on, it was like the author lost new points to make and say. Esp. since each chapter can be seen as stand alone, so shows are reintroduced and quotes are used again. It got a little annoying. But overall a good book. I would recommend it for anyone interested in television history and it's affect on our culture today.

The first time I read this, I was 13 and I was hooked. I love(d) the grand sweep of this story, how hard-headed Scarlett is and how she was such a woman before her time (to use a cliched phrase). I always wish she'd wise up and get over Ashley but that's only because I love Rhett so much and wish Scarlett would too while she has the chance.

An unapologetic view into the dysfunctional family of a woman who struggles with her "coming of age" during turbulent times within her extended family as well as the political/social environment in the South during the 50s and 60s. While the book is engaging and interesting, I was disapppointed in the latter third of the book as Norma marries and has a family. While the first two thirds of the book gives an in depth look at her childhood, there isn't enough depth toward the end of the book, which makes the ending disappointing. While it is admirable that Norma is finally able to stand up for herself and her personal beliefs, despite the fact that it means disappointing her extended family, I was left at the end of the story feeling like the author was more of a coward in the way that she handled her decisions and how they would affect those who loved her. Perhaps if she had continued the story beyond 1970, I might have come to understand why she made the decisions she did, or at least whether she was at peace with them. Instead, I had to go to her website, but even there, little is said about what became of her beyond the brief bio.

Exactly like the beginning of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. It just skips the part where the mangled letters go back up the coconut tree. I found the board book version at TJMaxx and decided I wanted it for our library. Results are in- this is a winner! I thought the letter mania was over, but I was way wrong. Maybe it's the obsession with Super Why and Alphapig, but this book has been requested at every nap/bedtime reading session since he opened it for Easter.
Kingdom Coming, by Michelle Goldberg - 3 stars; an exposee about the feverish political power grab of Christian evangelicals, especially by the so-called Christian Reconstructionists, who openly advocate an Old Testament theocracy in America; too detailed (too many names and dates), but still quite fascinating nonetheless; obviously, not for the Pat Robertson crowd. Sample excerpt, from page 1: "Michael Farris, the founder and president of the evangelical Patrick Henry College, calls his campaign to turn Christian homeschooled students into political cadres Generation Joshua…the homeschooling movement will succeed when our children, the Joshua Generation, engage wholeheartedly in the battle to take the land….The influence of these kids, trained from infancy to be Christian culture warriors, is already making itself felt. Farris’s Patrick Henry College, located in rural Virginia, caters specifically to homeschooled evangelical students. It has existed only since 2000, and accepts fewer than 100 students a year, yet in 2004’s spring semester, it provided 7 percent of the White House’s interns….[Generation Joshua] dispatched students to help Senate candidates like Oklahoma’s Tom Coburn (who has called for the death penalty for abortionists)…." And on and on it goes. Too much info, but for the receptive audience, many fascinating tidbits. (E.g., Bill Frist was NOT invited to Justice Sunday II, an event to support conservative nominations to courts, because he eventually started to support stem cell research.)
