Tremain returns to the historical novel and this one got good reviews, so I decided to give it a try, despite the disappointment of all her other books after Music & Silence. This one is about English emigrants to New Zealand in the 19th century, in search of gold (the "colour" of the title). It started out well, and I thought it was going to be on a par with M & S, but somehow as the story progressed, I lost interest in the characters and stopped caring about what happened to them. The subplot about the psychic relationship between a child and his aboriginal nurse was distracting and seemed out of place, and Tremain killed off the most sympathetic characters (it says something about the book when the most sympathetic characters are a cow and a dog!). Sorry, another miss!

Boy's, drama, murders, and more in the book Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year. Sounds interesting right? Well not really, other than the plot, nothing else is really interesting. The point point of view is in the eyes of Jenny, but I do not like that. The ending is also very bad. They could have provided a little more details at the end. When you read books of course you want the story to be interesting. Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year, has a good one. Jenny Green the main character grew up in New York. She did not like it that much, so in her junior year she moved to a broading school in Canda. Although she liked male attention she did not like to mistreated by them in anyway. Most boys were not aware of this though. It started with one boy mistreating her, and accidental killing. After that each boy that mistreated her in anyway got what she thought they deserved. Point of view is an important part of a book. The narrator of this book is Jenny. You see and hear everything she does. I do not like it this way in this book. They should have had an all knowing narrator. Knowing what other people thought about her would have made it more interesting. Telling if the boys thoughts were the same as what Jenny thought they were. Ending a book with some questions is good, people can think whatever they want. Ending a book where your left with a lot of questions that could have easily been covered is not. Authors end books with information you were waiting for. Did they get caught? Did he survive? Are they together? Jenny Green's Killer Junior Year left me with so many questions. It does not give me anything about what happened to her. It just ends, with no happy or sad ending, it just ends. Books have to be interesting for me to like them. This book was almost there but not really. The plot was very good, but thats about it. The point of view could have been a little different. So it gives you more of other peoples thoughts. The ending was also bad. You do not just end a book you have to leave the reader a little information.
Really enjoyed and recommend the whole Steig Larron series

that was a wonderfull book. for every one, even smoking, going to start smoking, quit it, hate it, love it...
Africa, Missionaries, evil, all from different points of views from different women in one family. Incredibly written stylistically.
I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be a plausible scenario. The author was inventive but realistic with the events that unfolded. I thought I'd have a hard time listening (audio book) to a book that was completely told through the eyes of a young girl ~ since I'm a grown man (father of 2 young girls) but the young girl's struggles were either handled maturely or the author described enough that I was able to understand where the girl was coming from. While the book did deal with issues a 16 year old girl would deal with, it didn't feel like it was just "girly emotions". In the end, they were all just human emotions and easy to relate to.
This book was an interesting and quick read, but I wish it had delved more into the reasons behind wanting gender reassignment surgery...The author states that she KNEW she wanted it, that she KNEW she was the wrong gender, but that is all. It was a good story...but ultimately not one that explored anything very deeply.
If you normally do not read graphic novels, this is a great start. It's mostly autobiographical, is very raw and honest... The young author does not depict "heros" in the way we usually perceive graphic novels, but he does present a real person whose childhood experience was often disturbing, had his awkward teenage years, had genuine questions about his christian faith, and how the negative reaction he gained in return affected him, and so on. Many of you will appreciate it and probably want to share Blankets with other people.

I really liked this, such a timeless novel. Unfortunately I was hurried in reading it for a deadline so I didnt have the time to spend on it as it deserves but I hope to re-visit it in the future. Only negative I would say is that it's 800 odd pages long!! The film adaptation of Thackeray's novel with Reese Witherspoon in is also very good.
