Where was this book when I was seventeen and pining, alone, in my braces and Birkenstocks, not clever enough to translate the Weight of My World into angsty poetry? I ache for and delight in Cassandra. Hers is the universal coming-of-age. UPDATE: rereading for BEBC. Yay! A fav!

Quick read. Paints a picture of a war started from vanity and ego and prosecuted through vanity and incompetence. A lot of wars are like that, I suppose.

If you don't fall in love with this book when you read it, I do not think we will be friends. This is one of my all time favorites.

Wow, the buzz on this book is fully deserved. Found myself really moved by the personal side of the story, ie. the tremendous struggles Henrietta and her kids faced. Then, when I thought I might drift, in the scientific explanations about how HeLa cells have been used, I was riveted. The stories behind all of those research projects were fascinating. So many ethical questions raised... and yet, you can't help but be thankful that it happened as it did when you look at all of the medical advances that resulted. I thought Skloot did a beautiful job at the end of the book of making the ethical questions universal: doctors can and do take tissue samples all the time without our knowledge to use for research. It's a little creepy, and in the era of DNA fingerprinting, potentially damaging... but it allows research. GREAT book.

I enjoyed My Life in France a bit more, but this was good as well. Included some lighter stories about Julia Child that I haven't read anywhere else.

this didn't help me in the slightest
Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. My Summary: Stephen was raised by his mother - a flighty socialite who has a new man in her bed every other week. Tired of living the life his mother has planned for him, Stephen finds freedom when he goes to visit his father in New Orleans. Over the course of the summer, Stephen's father teaches him a wide variety of survival skills; Stephen wishes he could remain with his father forever, but his mother wants him back. Then a series of hurricanes strikes, and Stephen and his father are left stranded. Content with waiting out the rest of the storms with his father, Stephen is horrified when strange men arrive at their little cottage and proceed to murder the only parent who ever cared what he wanted. Now, all alone in the swamps of New Orleans, Stephen must put into practice the skills his father taught him and survive the dangers of the city he used to call home. My Thoughts: This was a fairly short but enjoyable read. I liked the element of not-so-far-off dystopia, and the 'coming-of-age' theme blended with survival made for a good novel. In a way, it reminded me of Hatchet (you remember that book that every middle-schooler in North America will read before they graduate, right?). I really liked the survival elements of the novel, and the writing was very good. Stephen's resentment towards his mother was also very believable as well, making it easy for readers to relate to the character. I enjoyed the author's writing style as well: it was smooth and easy-to-follow, making it easy to finish the novel within a few hours. Final Thoughts: I recommend this book for any guys looking for a gritty, action-packed dystopian novel (and ladies as well!). Probably best for readers over the age of 14.
