Kathleen Yu kpyu — Feminism in fantasy.

Pedro Mota pedro21e5 — I really only read this series so I would be able to properly argue with Twihards, my cat could write a better story...

Weurui Yu tx025923ef27 — I devoured this like candy. Davis delineates a complex analysis of the work of the early blueswomen in relationship to gender and class issues in the African-American community in the decades following slavery. She grounds Ma Rainey's and Bessie Smith's songs and performances in historical context, considering their roots in the musical and socioeconomic history of slavery, as well as looking at ways in which they foreshadowed the political developments of the '60s and '70s. I could have done without the chapters on Billie Holiday. Davis' main argument about Holiday, that her banal love songs constitute social critique due to the subtleties of her vocal style, is groundless without a technical analysis of the music which Davis is unequipped to provide. She attempts to fill in the gaps with rapturous, schoolgirlish passages about Holiday's "genius." Oh well.

Luke Parcero lukeparcero14 — I find this book very difficult to review. Nicole Stansbury is an excellent author. Without her wonderful storytelling, I don't know how I would have had the patience for such a dysfunctional family. I am a person that craves stability and there was absolutely no stability for the family in this book. I found the family very maddening. But I suppose that was the entire point of the book. Stansbury did an excellent job making the reader go through so many emotions toward the character of the mother, hating her one minute, pitying her the next and almost sympathizing with her at other times. I suppose it would be all the emotions that Lucy went through in the book as well. As annoying as the characters could be at times, I found myself looking forward to seeing how things would resolve themselves. If it were possible I would give Stansbury's writing a 5 star rating and the story would get a 3 star. I will definately keep my eyes open for more of Stansbury's work in the future.

Rogerio Balieiro rogeriobal03b9 — I'm kind of on the fence about this book, mostly because of the cheesetastic ending. It was a very well written story and the concept was super interesting(basically, Mia was in car accident with her entire family, who did not make it, but she is watching herself in the hospital and deciding whether or not she will stay or go on to whatever is after this life). I can totally see teen readers getting right into this book, and I probably would have loved it if I was 15. But I'm not 15 and I didn't love it.
