This book uses the same sort of narration as Blake Nelson's book, Girl, which I love and it uses some of the same locales and bands, which makes me feel like I'm in a time warp since Girl was written ten years before Rock Star Superstar. I still adored it, Blake Nelson writes appealing, fun characters.

En ocasiones, hay que dar una segunda ocasión a libros con los que chocamos, como este caso. En una segunda lectura, he conseguido evaluar de manera más ecuánime el texto, puesto que he conseguido introducirme en la narración de manera más eficiente. Obviamente, el libro no está a la altura de las mejores obra

Predictable story line and didn't quite live up to all of the hype.

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni Although I've given this book two, it's more two point five, but I was so disappointed that I thought I round down rather than up. I was recommended this book by my Aunt, who is usually a genius when it comes to giving me good books but with this one, it got worse as it went along. It recovered itself a little bit at the end, but when I was reading a book, within a flashback, I was ready to give up! The first problem with this book, is that Trussoni cramms as many long, intelligent words she can in each sentence. It's as if she's showing off her vocabulary, but really it's completely unnecessary and it makes it harder to read. When I started I thought it was going to go well. I liked the characters of Evangeline and Verlaine and I was intirigued by the mysterious letters. However it went back sixty odd years, in the mind of a senior nun Celestine. That's when it lost me. What could have been done as several conversations took up the middle of the story and what made it worse was that the interesting bits (like the expedition to get the lyre) were shorter than the boring 'talky' bits. Then I found I was reading a translation by one of the characters! That was unnecessary as well! It could have been shortened, or it could have just been the paragraphs that were essential to the plot. In fact, the whole flashback could have been a separate book, and I wish it was. When we came back to modern times, it did get better. We were back on track, even if the way the characters spoke was a little iffy. Trussoni also introduced a load of characters that weren't needed and just complicated things as I tried to remember what everyone looked like. I will admit, I was surprised by the end, but the journey, wasn't really worth it!

This book was a lot of fun to read...it was full of fluff just like I like it.

This book seems like it's most well-suited to artists and writers, i.e. people who get how to fill a day without working (it's tougher than it sounds!). At times, Annie can be quite verbose without saying much, of course, she does admit to quite a bit of caffeine/nicotine use. Anyway, not that I don't enjoy a cup of coffee or caffeine-induced conversations, but I find the conversations much more fulfilling when I'm a participant.

Great NLP intro and very accessible and usable advise and information. Left me wanting to study the field further.

This book really, really made me think. J (born as Jenifer Silver) considers himself a boy trapped in a girl's body. Throughout the book J is referred to as a he. When anyone (including his parents) refer to him as a girl, J feels like they are blind to what he already knows about himself. J has grown up being taunted for his appearance and for his personality as well. From a very young age he has always felt like a boy. He hates looking at his body and feels as though nature betrayed him. J has a best friend named Melissa, whom he secretly loves. But Melissa knows how J is. She has her own issues though (cutting), and she is an aspiring dancer. On the verge of his 18th birthday J starts to concoct a plan to transform himself into the man he believes he already is. He has always studied men - their walk, their speech, their mannerisms, everything. He is attracted to girls, and he meets another girl when he starts ditching school to see if people outside of his neighborhood and circle can accept him and see him as male. J becomes a runaway and he also becomes obsessed with getting testosterone shots. But the process to hormone therapy is much more complicated than he thinks. J doesn't feel as though his parents will accept his plan to become a man, but they do come through eventually (although it is a surprise as to which parent rejects the idea of J as a man more). This book is not just about sexuality, it is about gender. What determines our gender? Is it our body parts? Our genetics? The way our brains are wired? Our souls or our inherent personalities? If our brain is wired female but we are born with male body parts, what happens and why would this happen? This is obviously a great book for discussion on gender issues and on tolerance. J is a confused person, but he is also very firm on who he is, he just doesn't know exactly how to get there. Sometimes what he did, said or didn't say or do really annoyed me, but that made his character more real. At first it was hard to accept him as a 'he', because I kept picturing a girl who was dressing very male and being a tomboy, basically a lesbian, but then I realized that J isn't a lesbian, he is truly a man who was born a female, and it just got me thinking like I said. Highly recommend to libraries for their teen collections and for older teens and parents of GLBTQ teens.
