Ehhh..I listened to this on audiobook and just didn't love it. It was a little "teen-y" for me- & how can i complain- I mean it's a teen book, just not a great story. A good message though, for teens. I'd recommend it especially to younger readers.

Read this book, (and then be very selective of where you go to dinner).
2009 Newberry Winner. Nobody “Bod” Owens lives in a graveyard. He escapes a tragic event as a toddler and is taken in by the kind souls in the graveyard. “It takes a graveyard to raise a child.” Bod’s guardian, adoptive parents, teachers and friends are all souls in the graveyard who teach him everything they know, but is it enough? One day, Bod will have to enter the world outside the graveyard. When he does, will he be prepared? Will he survive? He’s been through so much, what more does his life offer?
So far loathing the main protagonist. Self involved and so many pages just whining and not enough story. That said it is very well written.

For fans of Grimes' Emma Graham series, this book is novel in that it gives a little bit of an adult perspective on the town and townspeople 12-year-old Emma describes. It's not a particularly strong mystery, but more of a blending with a dramatic, character-based story. It is dramatic and well written, but only one of the several plot threads is resolved. I imagine Grimes meant to revisit these characters, but moved on to Emma as a way to do that.

This was one of the better craft books I've read. The writing advice is practical and the behind-the-scenes stories of Clarion's founding and processes were engaging. Wilhelm is a near legend and this book makes her seem approachable and wise.

A Catholic, pompous over-educated blowhard with digestive phobias who thinks he's in the wrong century and watches terrible movies spitefully and at 30 still lives with and constantly disappoints his Mom? Who could ever relate to him? Oh, I've got to go, Law and Order: SVU is on. Relatablility aside, I found this book to be a colossal bore. It wasn't so much because the protagonist was a colossal bore, but because everyone else was: if the book had been structured purely around Ignatius and his mother, and the mother-son dynamic, it would be 1) shorter, 2) tighter and 3) better. But instead we are put into the heads of a million other boring assholes, who spend the whole novel talking small talk or college improv, with usually one cardboard character playing the straight man so the other can speak their cute colloquialism and rant about absolutely nothing important. There were too many heads in this book, too many coincidences. Coincidences I don't mind, but too many heads I can't stand. It bogs everything down. I didn't feel anything was ever at stake and I didn't believe anything that happened, even though everything that happened was pretty boring to begin with, and even if it did happen I didn't believe it would change anything or anybody because everybody was so cartoonish to begin with they had no reason or way to change. And cartoonish would've been okay if the situations weren't so oddly realistically dull in comparison. This book took me months and months and months to read, though oddly I sped through the last 100 or so pages. Why? Because I stopped caring and just wanted the whole thing to be over with. I stopped caring and just sped through it and that made the book oddly more enjoyable. Weird, huh? I think The Fan Man is a similar book, dealing with the same sort of situation and characters, and it's twenty times shorter and twenty times funnier than this book. There were good parts all over this book, but they did not make together a good book. Although a sequel might've been nice.
This book is set in an office. It could be any office, but this happens to be an ad agency in Chicago. The office has a typical wide array of personality types and petty office squabbles, but by using the device of narrating from the group as a whole, you see how an office tends to bond together in situations, regardless of its dysfunctions and disagreement. The narrative gimmick of using fist person plural (a first for me!)does not mean we don't learn the stories of the individuals in this office. They all get their turn, as their stories are told by the group as they perceived them. And a quirky, wickedly funny picture starts to develop of this office and its denizens. We learn that this company is having financial difficulties, forcing layoffs. Each employee responds to this crisis in their own way: practical jokes, reciting poetry, stealing office equipment, etc. But what the author really excels at is poking gentle fun at corporate culture, "groupthink", and the collective fear of a company on the rocks. I ended up really enjoying this satirical look at office dynamics, and recommend it for anyone who ever did a stint in cubicle hell.
