Easy read, very funny, very odd, makes you feel very normal...or at least less messed up.
Much more comical than I expected it to be. Even though I had read some spoilers and knew who Emma ended up with, I still had no clue how Austen would manage to get the two together. So I applaud her for her unexpectedness.

Hiding the truth and becoming someone that you are not are some stages in life that every man and woman have to face. Sadly for this kid, he has to go through them all at one time. Life could be rough, but there are people out there you could rely on, and you may not even know it. There will always be someone there for you through thick and thin. This lesson is what makes this book so moving. I give it 4 out of 5.

Engaging. Drove me back to re-read some of Conroy's novels.

Just re-read this book. Much better when I was in my twenties....new perspective now!
Generation Dead is surely the Citizen Kane of Zombies in high school novels. (Okay, I can't think of any other novels about zombies in high school, but my review stands....) For reasons that are only theorized in the novel, (too much processed junk food?) dead teenagers are beginning to reanimate and assuming a second half-life. Some kids become just brain dead shamblers, but other "living-impaireds" prove to be higher functioning and go back to school. This is a premise that obviously requires a huge suspension of disbelief, but once you get past that, this novel is pretty good. Though the plot revolves around a bizarre undead love triangle, (jock loves hot goth chick; hot goth chick loves undead football player; undead football player loves? hot goth chick) this is no feelings cavalcade like Twilight. Generation Dead's plot is advanced by these personal relationships, but also explores how the public and family members would react to reanimated dead kids. Some kids are embraced by their parents; others are poignantly rejected. The predictable elements of the public wage hysterical protests, while the opposing factions embrace the "differently biotic" with an all too familiar forced sensitivity. Like George Romero, author Daniel Waters attempts some social commentary within a zombie outbreak setting. I imagine that there is too little romance in this book to interest the Twilight fans, but probably just enough to sicken the stomachs of everyone else. This book will likely slip through the cracks which is unfortunate because the other is really attempting something a little different.
No doubt, this is a thrilling, emotion laden, heart breaking, uplifting, roller coaster ride of a story. It is impossible not to be swept, by land and sea, into the moving and implausible story of Zamperini. It’s a gut-wrenching and heart string-tearing page-turner of a story. Read it: you will be rewarded by an exciting story. But, sorry, it’s not a 5 star book. The analogy is when school kids are assigned a different state to write about, and give a presentation to the class. Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, California are thrilling, exciting states, interesting to the student and class. But, whoa be to the poor student assigned South Dakota, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Idaho: it’s tough to whip up enthusiasm, really even interest, for these noble locations. (I mean no locality prejudice; it's just the way it is.) A 5-star book, in my opinion, is an exceptional book because of its language, design, creativity, originality, or something. And, while well-written, Unbroken, is none of these. I am no curmudgeon; it’s what I believe. I have read a number of incredible true tales of human tragedy, triumph, greatness, and fallibility. Included on this list are Into Thin Air; Into the Wild; The Hot Zone and others. Unbroken perhaps leads this list. It's a good read. Just, not a great book.

** spoiler alert ** I was conflicted on how to review this one. In general, I found many passages where not much happened, horses were ridden out and ridden back, meals were made, eaten and cleared, etc. I also thought a lot of smiling went on--though there was certainly some large conflicts, much of the day-to-day of the novel went on a bit too smoothly for me. The big exception was Aunt Janelle, the "primo bitch," whom I also wanted to see some more depth from. Finally, the major life changes for Geoff and Eli (from two extremes to meet in the middle) occurred a bit too suddenly and easily for me. These were major life changes for both of them and they seem to slide into them as easily as they slid into each other. The redeeming quality for me was the connection between the love of Geoff's two dads for each other to the love Geoff and Eli shared, particularly in the advice from Geoff's friend Raine, to live one day at a time--not to fear a love that may not last. And this ultimately made the ending unsatisfactory for me, we should not always expect happy endings, but live as if each day with the one we love is a gift and more than we deserve. The rest, as they say, is gravy.

The best book I have read in a very long time. I will recommend this to everyone and anyone who asks. What a great story, loved the characters, the writing style, the changing voices, everything. I want a sequel because I miss the characters!
If you've seen the movie, its better than the book. The ending was disappointing.
