Kurt Vonnegut was unquestionably my favorite author when I was in high school. My most beloved English teacher, the grey-bearded Mr. Hansen (who somewhat resembled an Anglo-Saxon vision of God, if God wore Hawaiian shirts and linen shorts in the summertime), wrote something in my yearbook about how I had a Vonnegut-like sensibility. Nothing could've made me more proud. It's been years since I read anything by the man, though, and when my friend Lauren recommended this collection, I put it on hold at the library right away. I am particularly fond of short stories and deeply adore Welcome to the Monkey House; Lauren said this would be right up my alley. She's right, that girl. How did I manage to allow it to be this long since I last read something from KV? I won't be foolish enough to make that mistake in the future. While I'm not usually enamored of forewords, I particularly enjoyed this one. Dave Eggers sets up the volume, a posthumously printed collection of works KV had published in various magazines and journals, rather brilliantly. His main argument is that the world needs (and is currently lacking) storytellers like KV, who was an unabashedly moral voice. His stories frequently have a very clear moral, he is quite often trying to teach his reader something about what it means to be good or kind or right (or at least not ridiculous and selfish). Eggers argues that the world is full of opinionated people who have a lot to say about right and wrong but the loudest of these voices are usually on the fringe and (my words) somewhat deranged. Story writers, on the other hand, have learned to avoid telling people what is right and wrong, to remain a nonjudgmental voice. And while there's a place for everything, the spot occupied by writers like KV lately remains fairly empty. But on to the stories. Vonnegut has a way of turning ordinary situations extraordinary while still keeping them grounded. Where else would you read a story about a man who travels the country shilling appliances by showing off a custom fridge he built to resemble his ex-wife (complete with blinking eyes, blushing skin, and skills on the dance floor) and come away with a story about the dangers of idolizing our loves and not seeing them for the imperfect people they really are? Goddamnit, Kurt Vonnegut, you've done it again. If you're the sort of person who didn't hate "A Long Walk to Forever," a somewhat romantic and mysteriously divisive story from Welcome to the Monkey House, this is going to be right up your alley, as it was mine.

I'm not usually so invested with massive amount of high school blah blah, in fact I'm one of those readers who really can't be bothered re-living all the angst and pain-fest of what high school is all about which is why I tend to stick with paranormal. But after I read the first book, She Is So Dead To Us, I kinda fell in love with the way Krisen Scott can pen an absolutely consuming story-line with characters I felt compelled to be invested with right from the start. True, the second book, was slightly annoying but I still enjoyed it and had hopes that the last book would finally deliver an ending I could be happy with and be thankful that I stuck with it. I'm happy to say that This Is So Not Happening did just that. Not that I'm saying that this didn't have it's share of typical problems, cause it so did, but I'm weirdly attracted to all the bullshit that comes with these characters and I'm not even sure of the whys. All I know is that this ended the way I wanted it too, I wish we were spared some of the eye-rolling dramatics concerning Ally and Jake, but if I really think about it was I really expecting anything less? All in all, I really enjoyed this series, angst and all. It feels like these characters have really matured with each book and while they are very much flawed, they still felt very much real and I think that's what I loved most about them and what they had to go through to get here. I'm looking forward to seeing what Scott has in store for us next!
