I've had this book sitting on my "to-read" shelf for too long and I've decided to sit down and read it. I watched the movie first and figured it would be pretty close with the book and I was right. I could pretty much determine what happened next. Although some things were a bit different, it was basically the same as the movie. At times I felt myself getting bored of the book, but I pushed through it and ended up crying like a baby at the end of it.

One of the few Oprah's books she got right!! Born into a life few could only dream about Malika Oufkir, daughter of General Oufkir, is for all intensive purposes, adopted by the King Muhammad V of Morocco. Growing up beside his daughter Malika lives a life close to a princess. After Muhammad's death King Hassan II takes the throne. A few years later Malika's father is found guilty of an attempted coup and is killed. The family, Malika's mother and siblings, are arrested and sent to live for the next twenty years in a jail in the middle of the desert. A tragic story, Malika and her family pass the time in the stories Malika tell. They are secluded in separate huts and are given very little time outside. Even though no one had any knowledge of the General's coup attempts, they spent much their time in complete uncertainty, unsure what tomorrow will bring... Not to spoil the plot, but this book is one of the best I have read of someone looking back on the tragedy that defined their life. Oufkir offers no excuses, and keeps from either embellishing or simplifying her situation. A story that many would not believe as a work of fiction Oufkir works to create character that a memorable and real, while creating a tone that simply offers to share what happened.

This is the book that helped me realize that time doesn't have to be the way we think. Both the past and the future are our partners. We need them both, and we have them both with us all the time. This is the book that made me realize that although Bush totally rots, his time and his influence are temporary. What I got out of it was, "We have Life After Bush in our hands already -- we can make it better." It doesn't say anything about Bush, actually, since it was published a while ago. Actually Silko ended up predicting correctly a lot of historical events and movements -- the Zapatistas, the collapse of the Mexican economy in the 90s, "eco-terror" groups... She knows her stuff. This isn't a very good review, but read the book anyway.

I read this book because it was an assignment for school. We had to read it then discus it with a group. I also read it because it would help me on the project we would have to do after we were done reading it. I wanted to read this book after my teacher had told me the backround about it. I have herd how good the book was and was looking forward to reading it. I really enjoyed this book because it was real. It was someones life they had writen about. I thought that it was awesome how much feeling was put in to it. It felt like I was in the book and living their lives. It was very entertaining to read. I think the middle schoolers and up should read this book, because it kept me reading and entertained. I dont like to read but i loved this book. It made you feel the characters feelings. The book had so much action that it kept you wanting to read it. I could not put it down. I glad that we had to read this.

The whole Darkside/Superman side story was lame and badly written. I was looking to see if it was a one shot that was thrown into this trade. The rest was pretty good. Its still strange to see how more mature the story telling has gone in 15 years.

It’s the late 60′s, and fifteen – year-old Sam is the only gay kid in Cooper’s Crossing. At first, he’s had a hard time figuring out how he was different from other boys his age, until he came upon the local legend about young lad Will Fairchild who followed his lover Ben Garvey out into bushranger country a century ago. However, Sam is aware that being a “poofter” isn’t exactly looked upon as desirable, since the stories about Will and Ben are always told in hushed tones, and asking adults about “blokes-with blokes” only ever brought him a clout round the ear anyway. So Sam makes sure nobody knows he’s not into “sheilas”. Yet, Sam is lucky enough that his straight school crush, Joey, is so pent up on hormones that he doesn’t mind fooling around with his poofter best friend. When Joey leaves Cooper’s Crossing for good, he consoles Sam by pointing him to another boy, Steven, who passes through Cooper’s on a regular basis as a co-driver in his uncle’s truck. According to Joey, sixteen-year-old Steven might be just the thing Sam needs. And boy, is he ever! His truck alone leaves an impression with Sam, sporting the picture of a bushranger of all things, and Steven strikes Sam as just drop-dead gorgeous and just like he has always pictured a gay man. One look at Steven, and Sam is lost. So is Steven, obviously, and for the next few years, Sam becomes Steven’s “Navy wife”, dropping everything and rushing to meet Steven as soon as “Stand and Deliver” rolls into town. Their comfortable routine is on the rocks when Steven’s uncle falls ill with a heart attack just shortly before Steven is ready to take over the truck. Steven can’t do all the driving on his own. But the replacement driver, Reg, doesn’t mind Sam coming along with them as a third pair of hands, helping out and learning the trade, so Steven can take over when his uncle is back. Reg doesn’t mind Sam’s and Steven’s special kind of friendship either. Unfortunately, this results in Reg blabbering about them, and suddenly Sam finds himself looked at askance by people he’s known for all his life, including his family, as he’s outed in his hometown. But does this really matter? As Sam takes a new look at his hometown, he suddenly realizes that the folklore about Will Fairchild and his bushranger lover might be not so far away from his own life as he’d thought. A big part of this story’s charm lays in its Aussi-slang laced narrative. Sam tells his story with a kind of dry humor and down to earth serenity that immediately cast a spell on me. His voice made me fall into the groove of his tale and transported me smack in the middle of the Australian outback. Just like Sam himself is, the people Sam talks about are so real as to be almost tangible. Here’s one example of his voice: … Marureen Stacy was behind the bar, pulling pints, four nights a week. There’s a portrait of her up behind the bar to this day, wearing a low-cut red frock and looking like a couple of sofa cushions halfstuffed into a duffel bag. It was a wonder she could stand up straight with her centre of gravity too high and all off-balance. (Try wearing your rucksack backwards, see what I mean.)… Sam and Steven have an easygoing way of putting up with whatever life throws into their way, some kind of “I get there when I get there” attitude that has always struck me as significant for the people who live the hard life in the Australian outback. It doesn’t matter to either of them that they can’t be together more than a few times a month, and that they have to meet in the woods or in the Semi’s sleeper cab. They seize any opportunity and make the best of it, trusting it’s going to work out, if not this way, then another. This isn’t a romance in the classical sense, more of a love story or better, the story of Sam falling in love. Steven and Sam don’t even meet for the first third of the book, and they aren’t often together on-page (there’s no on-page-sex in here, btw, in case you were wondering) Steve is seen only through Sam’s eyes, thought about, thought of, mulled over, and yet there’s no doubt left that they are mutually serious about each other. Particularly delivered in Sam’s distinctive voice, I found this very skillfully done. All in all, this cute little story was simply a joy to read. Sam’s tale is damn funny and real and as honest as they come, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as thoroughly as I did. Highly recommended.

This is a thought provoking book in many ways. Beware of possible spoilers... This book challenges many views: pro life vs pro choice, organ donation, and in some ways stem cell research. Set in a dystopian genre, unwinding is essentially the solution for "bad" kids or those kids that land in the state system for reasons beyond their control. Another societal problem tackled in this book. There is no abortion from a war, but babies can be left on doorsteps and the residents are obliged to raise the baby. Parents can choose to have their children "unwound" as teenagers and their body parts are used as organ donation and as way to solve most medical problems. But that's OK because you don't really die as you live on helping others (reminds me of an ironic poke at organ donation) Because of all of this, it is hard to get a good sense of the message(s) of the author. I enjoyed the Hunger Games series much more. I would recommend this book to readers who like dystopian novels but want something a bit deeper than Westerfeld's Uglies series.
This novel really is phenomenal! It boosted this fairy tale up to become one of my favorites. There are two sexual scenes that I skipped a few pages.
