Did not like this book at all, am glad it was a free advance copy. The characters are so self involved it was hard to like any of them or care about their lives. It seemed to be trying to captialize on the success of 'Sex and the City', but missed, in my opinion.

i loved this book. it brought together a hundred things I knew a tiny bit about with things I didn't know and gave me a big picture I never had. It's profound, yet a page-turner. I must read this auhor's other books.
Read from: June 29th – July 1st Forever; a word most people cringe at. Just the thought of being with one person for that long is terrifying. Then you have the slim population of people that want to be with one person for all their life because they believe if you truly love a person you can make it last forever. Let’s face it, forever usually never lasts. In the lives of Michael and Katherine forever is all they want, all they could dream of and just think it all started a year ago at a senior party. Michael is a well accomplished senior whose future looks bright and promising. However, he has never truly been happy. He’s dated many girls, but has never been in love. He believes when he meets the “one” he will truly be happy. Katherine is also a senior who is an amazing athlete with a bright future. She is all about her family and the thought of losing any of them breaks her heart. She too believes when she finds the “one” she’ll be happy. It might have been fate that brought these two together at a senior party. Ever since that senior party in December they have been in love and inseparable. Since they go to two different schools, weekends and holidays are all they have and they take what they can get. The only problem is that graduation is coming up. After graduation Michael is going off to North Carolina to work for his Uncle and Katherine is going to Rhode Island to work at her little sister’s tennis camp. Never being this far apart they both are deeply worried that this won’t work out. Hundreds of miles away from each other their love is tested and pushed to the limit. When first picking this book up and reading the summary I was stunned that Judy Blume wrote it because I was used to her being a children’s author. Judy Blume was born February 12, 1938 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. In High School she was the president of the school’s newspaper and went off to NYU for a college career in education. Margret, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, and Super Fudge were just some of her books that made it big. However, in 1975 when she released Forever, there was criticism and a dispute over this new book because it was more of an adult book than a child’s book. Forever was just the beginning of Judy Blume’s Career. While reading Forever, I really connected with it and I could understand what Michael and Katherine were going through. The way Judy Blume wrote Forever made me feel like I was a part of what was going on in Michael and Katherine’s lives. I highly recommend this book to teenage girls who like reading about the struggles of a new love and the fight to make it work. Forever is just another word unless you truly love a person and try to make it work.

This is a book I've meant to read for years. It's a bit of an icon, because when it was published it was something genuinely new; an attempt to pin down the culture of the northern working classes and assess how general social changes have influenced it. As such, it was a pioneer of that much-derided and misunderstood area of academia, Media Studies. It was first published more than fifty years ago, and we would expect that society has moved on a great deal since then and its relevance might be diluted. What seems surprising, however, is how much of this world of the dour, post-WW2 fifties is still recognisable in our own time. Step back fifty years from its publication and we are in Edwardian England; a world of horse-drawn carriages and gas-lights, of domestic servitude and deference. Step forward fifty years and there's still the motor-car and electricity, sensational tabloids, pop music and cinema. The government then as now embroiled in the Middle East, the teenagers much like our teenagers, and their young queen is now our elderly queen, but the same queen for all that. There is one big difference as a consequence of that similarity; when today's young people look back on the lives of their grandparents they (if they are honest) see themselves in similar conditions. In 1957, older people still had roots in that older world of deference and a more rural society with its distinctive regional culture and dialects. The mass media of the fifties changed all that, creating a more homogenised society. Was this a good thing? In some ways yes, but perhaps with its candy-floss ways it's a shallower one. The Uses of Literacy is a classic and fully deserves to be so. What makes it especially valuable is that it is a serious academic work by a serious academic which is yet complete accessible to the lay reader. That is not something that can often be said these days. My copy is an original Pelican edition; it says a lot, which Professor Hoggart would no doubt have had something to say about, that there are no more Pelicans and the lay reader is now treated with less respect; today's equivalent would be presented by a celebrity in the way that those old learned television documentary series by Jacob Bronowski and Kenneth Clark have been displaced by excitable comedians. I'm not sure that this doesn't reinforce what the book has to say.

This is a really cool book that will make you second guess what you are eating. Most of the science in the book is acurate although he can be a little preachy at times. Makes me want to grow all of my own food!

a compelling read for anyone wanting to learn more about the Holocaust from the perspective of someone who lived through it (though I suppose he did kill himself thereafter)

Great story of an extraordinary woman...sounds like she was respected in all arenas. I'm still not a fan of the diary writing and I found it a little boring in the middle of it but it picked up towards the end. I'm anxious to read the second one to find out how her life with Napoleon unravels or at least read a true biography of her.

I read this book over the holidays and couldn't put it down. For such a young life, Marla sure did live a full life. She took risks and only wanted to help those in need. If we could all help those in need.... Book 9 Hosted by Lisa in the cool Funky Art House!
