Predictable.

It took me forever to read this book. I couldn't get into it, but it was well written, and the plot developed nicely. I don't know what the problem was but I just didn't like it.

With the best books, you pick them up, and you know after a few sentences, this is going to be a good one. Laura Elliott's YA book Winnemucca is pure poetry. Adults will devour this book as much as any younger readers. I found myself slowing down to breathe in the beauty of the words, sometimes reading aloud, to better try and catch the rhythms of the beautiful and unique back-country voice of this narrator, Virginia Mae Nolyn: "When the convict slipped back into the circular crowd, I grabbed a handful of San Joaquin soil and swirled the fingers of my free hand in the little mound of dirt in my palm. I touched my soil-stained fingers to my heart and became a Child of the Road." The story is not complicated, but Virginia Mae's stubborn mind sure is. Running away from her own impending marriage, she has found out that the thing she hates the most is to be managed. She is learning to listen to the impulses that "bubble up inside" and continually reminds herself, especially when the going gets tough, "One foot in front of the other." Her birth-mother is in Winnemucca, so Ginny is not just running away from something. She is on a quest to find her mother and connect, for the first time. To claim the things that have been denied her. She takes us with her on her harrowing, sometimes dangerous, always breathtaking road-trip, allowing the reader to eavesdrop on every moment of the gorgeously conflicted consciousness of a seventeen-year-old rebel. There is irony in the fact that the largest employer in her hometown is a federal prison, and half the town population lives within its walls. At one point, Ginny stands just outside the prison fence, looking in: "A convict paused inside the chain-link with his hands on his hips. I let go of the prison sign, dropped to my feet and stood ramrod straight, as different from the wimpy oats as possible. We stared at each other. Him in his prison. Me in mine. We both knew what kept us walking in circles." The writing is self-assured, powerful, and poetic. Her journey to Winnemucca is Ginny's road to self-discovery, out of her own personal prison of ignorance and self-delusion. From her website I saw that Laura Elliot has another book coming out in a few months. I predict a wide following for this author if the next book is anywhere near as good as Winnemucca. Winnemucca is a newborn classic.

I love the first book! This third book was more like all the others she has written but I still loved it.

I REALLY loved this book... for me to get through a novel of historical fiction, it really has to capture my attention, and it did that. I really could care less how accurate or inaccurate ANYTHING about the story is. It's a story, I liked the characters and the plot, and I was satisfied with the ending, and that's enough for me. Besides, when you research a historical event TOO much and then try to prove it through your writing, you end up with The Perfect Storm, which was so boring that I couldn't finish it. For a middle-aged white guy, I'd say it's not too shabby.

Review coming soon. Wintergirls is yet another strong and bold book by the author of Speak. Anderson uses graphic layout to a great advantage. It really states a point better than words may have. Her characters are good and not too flat. She shows us some interesting sides of Lia, her everyday and her memories. I enjoyed reading from Lia's point of view and the inner monologue and stream of consciousness were intersting to follow. (even though some times I did not understand all of it. That is perfectly fine. - I have thoughts and such I do not understand myself, now and then.) Lia is the portrait of the feelings many girls go through. - Of course with different degrees. It is important to see that eating disorders can evolve and get out of control very easily. I have not experienced anything this extreme myself, but I have been in a place where I was depressed and did not eat much like skipped breakfast. (years, years and years ago, though) I hear girls around me complain about their weight and see how they have low self-esteem no matter if they are "underweight, normalweight or overweight". Eating habits are hard to break so it is important that these stories get out! Girls (and boys) die from this, just like Cassie in the book. It is an urgent message about a major problem in adolescence.

Finshed reading this to my younger sons last night; when I revisit Laura Ingalls Wilder these days, it tends to be her older ones. As a writer, she feels slightly less confident in this book: the chapters are more instructive and the use of stories-within-the-story was something she grew out of after this book. But it's still glorious. I love the honey tree, Ma making hats, Laura's jealousy of oh-so-perfect Mary, the astonishment of seeing a town for the first time; the excitement of the dance. I can't help noticing how much better off Pa was when he lived here: cows, pork, honey, abundant and varied vegetables, family around: there's a much more prosperous feel. Not for the first time, I feel for Ma having to become a pioneer wife when it's obviously not really her thing. Laura's love for Pa is never clearer than in this book: where most farming books end with harvenst, or the coming of warm weather, she finishes as winter closes in again, because winter means having Pa at home in the evening, with his fiddle and the security he brings them. The ending where she locates the little house in the present 'This is now, it can nevedr be long ago' is moving and elegaic. My boys enjoyed it, but not as much as my husband (who has strong elements of Pa in him, both as a parent and a handyman), who loved every chapter.

This novel works backwards to explain how the Garcia girls not only lost their accents, but were shaped by the conflicts of interest of their early lives in the Dominican Republic, their parents' conservative views, and the sinful American culture. Deserves more than one read to fully appreciate the different paths the girls take to womanhood and self-realization. It's like unopening a present, but starting from the inside and going out. You don't really know what you're looking at until you get through it all... and even then...

The first thing I suppose I should tell you is that this is not a book I would have normally picked out for myself. Having said that I will tell you that I found it surprisingly enjoying and addicting. Yes, that is why you aren't getting all the posts you should have today, because I spent my time with a book. Although I would not recommend this book for young readers, or for reading just before bed, this was a story that though discussing a homicide was not overly disturbing. Liz Schulte has a wonderful way of telling the story and keeping you attached without making your "real" life terrifying. Thank you Liz for helping me enjoy a genre I would normally avoid.
