Barack Obama is a refreshing change from the backstabbing politics and hidden agendas that we often see these days. His voice has power and he gives me hope for a better future. This man certainly knows how to choose & use his words!

The author is a Rwandan who grew up in Uganda who is now a Catholic priest. He has spent six years (as of the writing of this book) as a professor at Duke University. The first half of this book is about the Rwanda genocide and the history leading up to it. The information was good, but the author tended to skip around in time and digress into side narratives that made it difficult for me to follow his main point. That point seemed to be: Hutu Christian slaughtered Tutsi Christian neighbors--people they worshipped together with in church--and American Christians abandoned Tutsi Christians. So, he says, to avoid this we must ask ourselves if our identity as Christians is stronger than our loyalty to other cultural labels. It's a good question, and I would have recommended the book if the book stopped at page 80. However, in the first part of the book, the author says that the Belgians came to Rwanda, made faulty categorizations of the population after only a brief stay in the land, and that this lead to the genocide. Yet, in the second part of the book, he tries to neatly place American Christians into categories based on what he's seen during his relatively brief stay here. Based on my own lifetime of research, none of his explanations for our American cultural identities seemed accurate to me because they miss the nuances. Also, I don't know a single Christian who fits into the neat categories he makes for us. Basically, I rather felt he was making the same mistake that the Belgians did of trying to categorize a culture and failing because he missed the many nuances. I also felt like he made several assumptions that I couldn't agree with. First, he doesn't seem to recognize that we live in a sinful, fallen world. In the second half of the book, his argument seems to suggest that if everyone in the world just picked one identity and we were all loyal to that one identity above all others, then all divisions--and therefore all evil, pain, suffering, starvation, etc.--would be eradicated. The problem I have with this is that people need to be transformed by Jesus in order to not act self-first like they did in Rwanda. Just calling ourselves Christians and shedding all other identities won't work. Having one unifying national identity has been tried before with no success. Even if everyone who called themselves Christians were totally transformed by Jesus and dropped all divisions, the world isn't made up totally of Christians. Evil would still occur. Basically, his points in the first half of the book are good, but, in my opinion, the book falls apart in the second half because it fails to recognize the true source of the problems in this world.

"You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything. . . affects everything."Thirteen Reasons Why is a good, interesting, suspenseful book. The plot is interesting. If you think one thing, it might change in the next few chapters. It talks about real life situations, some people go through. The characters are very interesting. They all have different problems and all connect in an odd way. Clay is a normal teenager, who is trying to get over the suicide of his crush Hannah. One day when he came home he found a package on his step. It was from Hannah. Inside were cassette tapes along with a list. A list of people who at one point crossed Hannah’s path. But, Clay had no idea how they got there if Hannah was dead. As he listens to them he finds a lot of things out. How peoples little actions affect people in ways we don't see. How when all these things add up, some people just can't handle it. Some books are very realistic in different ways. Thirteen Reasons Why, has situations in it that teenagers go through. Rumors never stop. People hear one thing but say another not realizing who they hurt. They have to deal with going to a new school at some point. Making new friends, seeming different and weird to different groups of people. Friends backstabbing you and feeling like you don't have any left. There are a lot of characters in this book, I couldn't name them all. They are all important at one point in the book. But, the most important ones are Clay and Hannah. Clay is a normal boy. He doesn't feel as though he did anything wrong until he gets a box of cassette tapes. Each tape has Hannah's voice. She explains why each person is on the list. The reason why she killed herself. Both Clay and Hannah narrate the book, Hannah when Clay is listening to the tapes. Clay every other time. Clay is confused by why he is on the tape. He doesn't remember doing anything to Hannah, only talking to her once at a party. Thirteen Reasons Why is a good book. The plot is very good. It is suspenseful, leaving you on your seat at the end of chapters. It talks about real life situation. Death, rumors, and friendships. The characters are also very interesting. There are many in the book. But, you soon find out why they are there.

I really enjoyed this continuation of Shanghai Girls! I'm fascinated by Mao's China, and reading about Joy and Pearl in this time and place was compelling. Their stories were both heart-breaking and heart-warming.

Well...I can't say this had any sassy sexy info in it. (But really, John Adams and sexy should never EVER be put in the same sentence)...it DID however have some very very interesting background of the beginning of the lil ol US of A... While I'm not a fan of the US's arrogance...I am a fan of some of the ballsy things Adams did to git this whole USA independence party started...I mean, he liked to toot his own horn (but really, those of us great ones always do) but he got ISH DONE. When everyone else wanted to puss out...he lit a fire under some asses. I like that sass. It was also interesting to hear some stories about Jefferson, and how he would somewhat take credit for Adams' achievements and also sabotage some of the things Adams was fighting for. That bastard! I'm burning all my two dollah bills immediately! Well, I only have one...and the economy is tight and furlough paychecks suck...so maybe I won't. Maybe. McCullough doesn't write page-turners. At points...this is PAINFULLY boring. But he knows his stuff and he writes damn well. I can't even imagine the research he has to put into this with all of the letters by John, Abigail, and Thomas Jefferson he puts in. The man must eat, sleep and shit history. (Sounds painful). Does he ever go to movies? Does he watch sportscenter or cheer for a favorite team? Is he really alive or just a machine that pumps out historical masterpieces one after the other? Do I care as I think he's damn good? Do I think this review needs to end??? (That answer is yes)
