Bronwyn Koopman bkoopman33d314 — Recommended by John (thanks, John!). A gentle book with complex, believable characters. Loved both the bird illustrations and the author's elegantly simple tone. The lack of "flash" is obviously something aimed for, set up as a deliberate counterpoint to the flashy Harry Khan of the novel. Over the years, I've read a number of (mostly) nonfiction books about Kenya, or should I say British East Africa, as that is the time period I've mainly focused on. This tale brought me nicely into the country's present.

Ntokozo Nzuza _tokozo_zuza — 4.5 stars http://threedollarbillreviews.com/201... Russ wants more than anything to be able to overcome his doubts and walk into the building looming across the street. By doing so he will be admitting that he belongs in a place with a rainbow flag outside, and when you’re seventeen that’s not an easy thing to do. Once he gets across the road, it’s just two steps up to enter the building, but those two steps are the hardest ones Russ has ever contemplated taking. What he needs is someone else to be there with him, safety in numbers, someone to understand what he’s going through, but he’s standing all alone with his skateboard staring at the building. That is until Brian starts talking to him. Two Steps Up is a wonderful short story and anyone who struggled with sexual orientation during high school will identify immediately with the character of Russ. He is so well drawn and developed as a character that it is easy to empathize with what he is going through, the internal struggle of being true to himself and opening up to complete strangers. What may appear to be simple is actually an intensely difficult thing to do, and this story so beautiful describes what Russ is going through. "Russ bites his lip and keeps one foot on his board as he stares at the building across the street. It looks innocent enough, except for the rainbow flag that hangs from the top of the doorframe. Nobody would be able to mistake your intentions for going into that place. Everybody would know your business. He wonders why they have to make it so obvious. Don’t they know they’re scaring away… potentials? Not that he thinks he is a potential anything; he has long come to the realization that he is a homo. A fruit. Pansy. Fag. Cocksucker. Pillow biter. Friend of Dorothy. Queer. He’s seen all the terms on the net, and those examples aren’t even scratching the surface of what you can be called. Why are there so many words for what he is? And none of them are particularly nice either." I was immediately drawn into the story with Kennedy’s exceptional writing. The story being in present tense is a perfect choice, making the reading experience a total immersion in the character and his experiences. It isn’t easy to write a story within this tense, and Kennedy does an excellent job. Within the short length, so much is translated onto the page that by the end you can’t help but be connected to the character of Russ. The story is written from Russ’s point of view, so it is his emotions and thoughts that we are privy to, but at the same time Brian is not a one-dimensional character by any means. Although we may not know much about his past, it’s easy to extrapolate about the kind of person he is. Brian has been where Russ is, and intrinsically knows what Russ needs to bolster his courage. I likely connected with this story so strongly because I know what it is like to be in Russ’s shoes. His emotional struggle is a mirror image of a part of my own past, like it surely is for so many LGBT individuals. Kennedy has captured that point in a person’s life, the turning point to being able to finally openly admit, “yes I am, this is me, I belong here.” I’ve already read the story a few times and suspect it will be one that I often re-read. Though this focuses on being gay, any reader who has ever felt like an outsider will be able to identify with the main character. This story is about teenagers, and therefore rightfully so doesn't enter into any elements of a sexual relationship. This short story is perfectly suited for young adult readers, but it can definitely be enjoyed by readers of any age. For only $1.49, this is a story that everyone should read. Kennedy has quickly moved to the top of my list of favorite authors with his exceptional prose and enthralling characters. Anyone who hasn’t yet been introduced to his writing should pick up one of his short stories, and this is an excellent place to start. Once you read one story you won’t be able to stop.

Lika Porhomenko sdfsdf45654 — This is one of those books I wished would never end. In it, Kingsolver's writing, which has matured since The Bean Trees, uses the lush natural and cultural world of the southeast coast of the US as a backdrop for three related stories of brave, wild women. This is a complex story that brings forth the rich inner lives of strong, smart women facing grief.
