Incredibly slow, disjointed, too much technical jargon. The only time that I really was interested was at the last chapter or two. It took me months to get through this book.

This book was a very fast read, partly because of the large type in the book, and the fact that I didn't think it was very long!! The story was okay, typical teen drama unfolds all focused on 'will he kiss me??', 'Is he the one??'. The fact that I am no longer 15 (thank god) made this book kind of boring and blood boiling. It wasn't anything more than a 'harlequin' novel for teens, and the fact that the main focus seemed to be about getting kissed made me want to throw the book in the corner. However, probably the redeeming factor was that the main character, Sam, was smart and did not give in to peer pressure which I liked, no more damsels in distress for me!! So, overall: 2 stars, the writing was ho-hum, the story was ho-hum, but I liked Sam and Eric.....cute couple :)
I don't know why, but I am fascinated by novels about gangs. Probs my least fave of the Fuentes brother companion novels (this is the third), but it kept my attention the whole time, so that has to count for something. Also, Elkeles writes one hell of a love scene, I'll give her that. I just had some hangups with this one. Not nearly enough Carlos/Kiara and what was in didn't quite ring true. The cover is a scene that is not even a main scene in the book (at least not as major as some of the other ones). And what was with the epilogue? It reminded me of the Harry Potter epilogue. "They all got old and married and had kids (REPEAT CYCLE)." Maybe I need a nap.

Good book, though I liked Glue a bit better.

I devoured this book in about 48 hours and then struggled for almost 2 years with Atlas Shrugged. Similar themes - but I thought the story was more tightly told and controlled in this work than her later "masterwork".

Having given birth with the support of a midwife three times, when I heard about this one, I knew I had to make time to read it. The Midwife is the memoir of Jennifer Worth (“Jenny”) and her experiences in the East End Slums of post-war London. I think three things come together to make this a very interesting book. First, the voice of Jenny. She is candid and real - her storytelling doesn't sugar-coat her experiences or her mistakes. She never pretends that the East End was anything other than what it was: a hard place to live where people still found things worth living for. She shares her prejudices with us and shows us how they crumbled as she became more intimate with the people she cared for, both as a midwife and as a nurse. Life in the convent, its routines and relationships - Jenny relates these things with an unaffected and honest candor. Every once and a while the narrative felt a bit jumpy (moving between time periods, etc.), but because I was interested wherever she took me, it didn't bother me. The second thing is that the time and place is so narrow - we get such an intimate slice of a group of people, their trappings and failures and the things that make them tick. Some of their vices are described in uncomfortable detail and you can imagine how hopeless and degrading life could be. She teaches us to appreciate "Cockneys" and there is even an appendix so we can read Cockney and understand what they are saying :) As much as this book is about being a midwife, I also think it stands well as a cultural study of a group of people that no longer exist in the same sense. The third thing is the art of midwifery itself and her journey as a midwife. I caught myself smiling while reading some chapters, there is so much joy - and other chapters brought me to tears and had me biting my lip with worry. She was in the thick of the struggle between life and death that all mothers experience as they bring a new one into the world. And I think there is a nice balance between medical information and the more extensive personal stories that make Jenny's neighborhood vibrant, full of characters and their histories. She never pretends that it was easy or glamorous work, and sometimes the conditions she worked in were downright disgusting. I kept having the thought: this was REAL. It was her LIFE. Women gave BIRTH this way, lived this way - medical science was so different and I think this memoir gives a fascinating perspective of a way of life that is no longer, as well as a flavor for the satisfaction that comes from working with pregnant women. It's not lyrical or dreamy - it's a down-in-the-gutters look at an ages old profession. I loved it.
megan, remember me talking about this. did you ever read it? you have to. really really have to if you haven't. the drawing is not my favorite but it is in no ways bad. it is the story that drives this work. i love biography graphic novels, but you don't see them too much.
Excellent book to read I very much recommend it
