Guerra Broker bayanohi — Payton has been "strongly encouraged" by her parents to see the school guidance counselor. Basically, after learning that her dad has MS, she's stopped talking to them. This may make her seem like a complete brat, but when I say "learning," I mean "accidentally finding out" because they don't tell her. So anyway, the guidance counselor tells her that she should find a focus object and write about it. She's not sure what to pick but ends up picking Sean Griswold's head because he sits in front of her in class. This book is so good, you guys. It's about love and friendship and family (so all the important relationships). It's a coming of age story and is just so sweet and so funny and so great. This is one of those books I want everyone to read, because it's just amazing. Payton is such a likable heroine, even when she's being a complete brat. In some ways (a lot of ways, really), it's hard to read about the way she treats her dad, but I completely get it, too. First, it sucks that she was lied to (because she really was, you know?) and second, it's hard to deal with at that age. So yes, a bit of an overidentification there. And the relationship between Payton and Sean, as it grows, is great. I wish everyone had a "first love" story that's as perfect and sweet as theirs. But I also loved the relationship she had with her best friend, Jac. They're so perfect together and they complement each other in the best possible way. So yes, please read this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Tony Gilas dogwastestation — Update #1 18 May 2007 Started this book on Tuesday, three days ago. I think I only have 300 pages left. Let's just say this: The Stand is compelling, addictive, and above all else, haunting. I have been thinking about it nonstop, especially when I am not reading it. It sticks with me. Not the characters so much as the premise--the world being wiped out, everything mankind has built destroyed. And I have to say, every time someone coughs or sneezes right now, I want to not-so-subtly inch away, lest they give me Captain Trips. That's part of what is so compelling about this story; I think the best storytellers manage to interweave the mundane, the pettiness, the little quirks, the quotidian--the things that we can relate to--with the huge, profound, terrible, glorious, and amazing that we don't encounter so much. And Stephen King does a great job here: Fran's pregnancy, Harold's insecurities, Glen's tendency to ruminate, Mother Abigail's fears and doubts, the funny nicknames-Trashcan Man and Captain Tripps--all make this story SO REAL. King destroys the world and builds it back up again, as only a master storyteller can do. Update #2 19 May 2007 Finished! I stick by all I said earlier, except I will say this: the final "stand" was very anticlimactic. It was less of a "last stand" and more of a "whoops!"
