Akshay Panchal akshaypanchal — MUST read

Domingo Antonio domingorobledo7972 — this book is awesome. i LOVE it:] :] not sure whats its themes are, maybe possible future problems? identity issues? mystery? imm not sure, but is really great:D

Jane Guseva janerozhko88d8 — Excellent and worth the 700+ pages. It's in hardback only and I debated reading it because I'd have to carry it back and forth on the bus and on the air plane for my business trips. I decided to try the first chapter to see if it'd be worth it. Well, it was in fact worth lugging around. It's quintessential Wally Lamb--he can take the most serious of subjects, thoroughly explore them from the inside (meaning that the reader feels that he or she is actually living the horrific experience), yet Lamb finds clever ways to inject humor into the midst of it all. Bravo Wally!

Smile Han _mile_ — I dearly love this book. My grandmother read it to me as a child, and we have handed it down two more generations. These stories are really fun, and can be used as teaching tools. Two of my little great nieces are reading my only copy of it. Their mother, my niece, came and asked for all of the books for children that she had read at her grandmother's house while growing up. That was my mother's house. It was hard to see them go, but I am glad I gave them to my nieces.

Maverick Roberts _averick_3a03 — I had always heard a lot about this book and it was always on my list of things to read. Then this Christmas my department head gave me a signed copy as a present. I decided that it was definitely time to read it yesterday when I wasn't feeling well. Melinda is starting her freshman year of high school as an outcast. Everyone thinks she called the cops at the big party at the end of the last school year. No one bothered to find out why she would have called the cops, not even her best friend Rachel. Her parents aren't around much either. They are both always working and don't really know much about what's going on in Melinda's life. As the year progresses Melinda speak's less and less. She feels as though her throat is closing and her lips and mouth are always dry. When I first started reading this book I went online and checked out a couple of reviews. People seem to love or hate this book. There is no in the middle and I think that that is usually a sign of a great book. It illicits strong feelings in everyone who reads it. For most of this book Melinda is trapped in her own head. She can't deal with what happened to her on top of everyone's perceptions of her actions. She ends up hiding from the world and her parents lack of interest and her fellow students unwillingness to look past the obvious. I really liked how her friendship with Ivy and with her lab partner organically bloomed and the way these friendships and her tree project began to make her come out of her shell and deal with what happened. I also liked the style the book was written in. I liked the mini headings instead of full on chapters. It felt like a good reflection of how Melinda was living her life, one little piece at a time because anything else was too big to handle.
