黒川 麻乃 kumanoyue552a — This is an excellent book full of facts I never realized. I learned a lot while reading this book.

Russell Francis _ussell_rancis — 3.5 Anyone who likes conspiracy theories, police procedurals and sci-fi will love this book. I enjoyed it quite a lot, once I got over the little things that irritated me about it. The story is unique and compelling and the ending is not predictable at all. It didn't do that thing I hate so much (foreshadowing), and I really appreciate it! The little things that irritated me: the premise is complicated, but the author just hints and insinuates at what that complication is for the first 50 pages, instead of telling the reader what's going on. The confusion detracted from my enjoyment, and added nothing. The regional names are unneccessarily quirky and impossible to pronounce, and the reader (me) stumbles over them at every use, which for the place names, is about 20 times per page. There are some bizarre and unexplained idioms, apparently intended to show the differences between the two main regional dialects, but they add nothing and serve only to bewilder. The concept is unusual and mysterious enough without these little quirks. But, as I said, on the whole, an enjoyable read. Possibly even thought provoking.

Laura Tariche lauratariche — Actually a 3 1/2

Samuel Gagnon samgagnon — There is no better feeling then sitting down with a blank page of a diary, just begging you to write on its empty space. Soon that emptiness is full of memories, emotion, and life experiences. A diary can remind us who we are and who we want to be. I feel that way and most likely so does Melody Carlson, the author of Dairy of a Teenage Girl; Becoming Me. Her writing is brought to life in the main character of timid and lost Caitlin O’Conner. This character is one that readers are able to relate with. Writing about her life, Caitlin discovers herself in a gradual way—each entry she reveals a slight bit more about herself than the one prior to it. This steady process lets the reader identify with the changes that are taking place in Caitlin’s life. As she goes through both triumphs and trials I find myself feeling the emotions while reading Melody Larsson’s well-thought words. There is a tender sincerity in the writing and it makes me feel a connection to the character’s life. On page ninety-three I feel the most invested in Caitlin’s life. It is an introduction to a diary entry of one of Caitlin’s lowest times: "March 16th, Friday (I survived): I know, it’s been a long, long while since I’ve written anything in my diary. I guess that’s because I’ve been living in the black abyss these past two weeks. Somehow I made it to school for the rest of that hopelessly awful week (after I made such a fool of myself). I wore black and kept my head down low and spoke to no one." This minute glimpse of Caitlin’s emotional life is very powerful. In this entry, Caitlin is describing her trying time because she just found out that her first love Josh fell in love with her best friend Jenny. This plot may sound immature or just petty drama, but Caitlin’s poignant language forces the reader to emotionally connect themselves to her dark anger towards her life situations. Her raw life is distressing and lurid when she comes across evidence of her father having an affair with a woman of his workplace. From this part of the story, Caitlin loses herself as she struggles with the reality that everything shes ever speculated about love turns out to be untrue. Josh is a loss in her life, as is her father. She loses all hope in God and her utmost core values are shaken. On page 93 she gives up all hope: “…Or perhaps it is actually possible to die from a broken heart. Surely the pain is enough to kill you. God, are you still there? Can you even hear me? Did you make all this happen to me? Do you even care?” These questions that the main character asked are deep and personal. I believe that people reading this book can read her questions and identify with them. They are questions that all people ask at some point of their lives. During the darkness we, broken people, ask questions. Carlson brought a sense of searching to Becoming Me, her background of faith pushed through into her writing in such a graceful and inspirational way. This book is one that inspirits those who give it a chance. The cover may seem soft and calm but the content is polar opposite. The darkness of Caitlin's struggles can remind anyone who reads this book that there are questioning Christians in the world who toil with who they are and who God is. Maybe even more importantly, where God is. When all seems lost, though, there is a strength that is greater than all hopelessness. Caitlin o'Conner exemplifies this transformation from darkness to light. Through questions of herself and of God, she is able to pick up the broken pieces of her life and spirituality. I took this character metamorphosis to be very refining to my own faith journey. This novel is inspiring to me because it reminds me that I can ask questions. God does not turn away anyone in the dark. There is hope of light to all people who need the Lord's strengthening love. This book shows earthly love and how through the act of sin we can all lose that love very quickly, but it also shows a contradictory love. One that is greater than all despair. When the character changed it was evident that those changes were because of God's involvement in her life. If we, as Christians, also let God into our lives we too can change.
