My second experience with Laurie Halse Anderson. Like Speak it was a look at a serious teen issue, written in an unusual way. I have to say that I feel Speak was a little more effective, but Wintergirls was very interesting - and disturbing, as it should be. As with Speak, one of the primary themes of the book is not really mentioned "out loud" - the idea of talking with someone or sharing your suffering in order to better be able to deal with it. In this case Lia is tormented by the idea that she didn't listen to her (former) best friend, Cassie, when it was most important. Lia struggles with letting her feelings and fears out right to the end, even knowing it's a life or death decision. One of the most disturbing parts of this book for me was the litany of website/blog postings from "wintergirls" looking for encouragement to keep starving themselves. *shudder* The idea of letting others in to help is very important, and these requests for support are a perversion of that concept because they're looking for help make themselves sicker, even though they don't see it that way. I think Laurie Halse Anderson very successfully depicted the fact that people with eating disorders have an entirely different mentality, and an entirely different way of viewing their bodies than people not dealing with the disease. Lia repeatedly describes how her (or others') eyes are "broken" and she is fully aware that they are not seeing what she is, and vice versa. The sheer levels of calculation and deception involved were also really shocking to me. I will say, one thing that stuck out rather glaringly was Anderson's attempts to make Lia's experience at the end as universal as possible. I think she's hoping it will be a beacon of hope and inspiration for as many varieties of people as possible, but it came off as kind of... obvious how wide she was throwing the net, if you get my drift. When Lia was imagining her possible futures, it became less about Lia as a character and what she would imagine, and became very generalized, trying to include the widest array the author could think of. I get it, I understand why, and I hope it helps a lot of people - but I think it crossed the line a little bit between Lia's story and afterschool special. I'm glad I read this book, in order to open my mind to how mind-altering an eating disorder can be, and to remind me that this struggle goes on on a daily basis for a staggering number of people.

It began with a BANG, a good'ol page turner, then.......THUD! I found myself channeling Evelyn Woods to get through the last 30% of the book. I'm glad it's over. I decided to read the book because I hadn't seen the movie in many many years and this seem the perfect time. Netflix dropped the movie in the mail today, so I look forward to seeing it again with post-read eyes. Now, what's next?!?!

LOVE his TV show Top Gear - however, I'm pretty sure he has ADD and you can tell when you read this book. It's a bit all over the place. Still. . . love that british TV humor!

deborah blum is a pulitzer winning science journalist, so her quest into the paranormal is informed by hard facts.
Hmmm, one of the few non-religious ppl that is politically conservative that I found both credible and interesting. I was surprised :-) He seemed to be pretty objective about both religious jews and religious right wing evangelicals...all from the outside..a pretty easy and quick read, as well. I enjoyed this book

It's a great anthology of romance stories. 6 stories. 6 great authors. None of the stories seem rushed. All the 'couples' knew each other in some way before they hooked up in the story. Past love; crushes.. A really great read.

So far, I absolutely love this book. Poetry is not really "my bag" most of the time, but Duffy's style is clever and easy to read; her rhyme-scheme subtle and natural-sounding. If you don't know the premise, all of these poems are told by the "wives" of famous men throughout history. She's funny, witty, subversive, and sometimes downright dark with this collection. It's a must-read for any self-identified feminists out there.
