I grabbed this book because I needed to find something to read quickly and I'm glad I did. The book tells the story of Janie, a high school girl with bulimia, who is sent to a psychiatric hospital due to a traumatic experience. I think the story is well written and I can see the events leading up to her hospitalization could happen to a lot of girls. I'm glad the book has a positive message at the end. I plan on recommending it to my readers at school.

Initially, when I finished reading this book, I had planned on giving it 3 stars. But since I wait to enter my books on Goodreads until the end of the month, a few weeks have passed since I finished it, and when I saw it on my list, I thought: "What book is THAT?" I cannot in good conscience give 3 stars to a book that I can barely remember after 3 weeks. Walbert's book tells the story of 4 generations of women from the same family, the progenitor of which is a woman who starved herself to death for women's suffrage in the UK during WWI. I found myself liking the suffragette's granddaughter the most, whose story we don't get to see until she is already in her 70s. After the death of her adult son, she starts to see her life in a different light. I found myself really enjoying and identifying with her journey. I thought the best chapter in the whole book was the one during which she shared a cruise with her husband - this chapter was intense and melancholy, but so incredibly well written. Ultimately, I didn't feel like the 4 generations' stories meshed well together. They hardly seemed connected to one another at all. I also didn't understand the odd obsession with Florence Nightingale. And I guess I just don't really see the point of this book. It fell flat for me.

One of my favorite children's authors did this excellent book while literally spending a year traveling the world. Everyday he did a cartoon of the event that stood out most to him that day. Years later, he provides commentary. It was marvelous. His humor really shines through, as does his artistic ability. Not necessarily appropriate for children, who normally enjoy his books, but still fabulous.

Kate solves a major mystery involving Old Sam and his relationships to various members of the community and her own family. She has several near death experiences. Mutt does her part, too. Jim andKate become ever closer. I do agree with Kate. She is getting too old for all these near misses. I see future novels as being less physical on her. Really enjoy her adventures.

Warren frowned. 'Surely the public assistance rates aren't so bad as that? They're revised from time to time, aren't they? You don't just have to starve?' She shook her head. 'No, you don't have to starve. The rates are all right--in theory, Mr. Warren. You can keep alive and fit on P.A.C. relief--if you happen to have been born an archangel.' 'What do you mean?' She stopped and faced him. 'It's like this. There's really nothing wrong with the rates of relief. If you are careful, and wise, and prudent, you can live on that amount of money fairly well. And you've got to be intelligent, and well educated, too, and rather selfish. If you were like that you'd get along all right--but you wouldn't have a penny to spare.' She paused. 'But if you were human--well, you'd be for it. If you got bored stiff with doing nothing so that you went and blued fourpence on going to the pictures--you just wouldn't have enough to eat that week. Or if you couldn't cook very well, and spoiled the food a bit, you'd go hungry. You'd go hungry if your wife had a birthday and you wanted to give her a little present costing a bob--you'd only get eighty percent of your food that week. And of course, if your wife gets ill and you want to buy her little fancy bits of things...' (72-3). 'I had time to think about all this when I was here in hospital. I was right away from it then, able to see my job from the outside. And it seemed to me then, as it does now, that there's only one thing really worth working for in the City. That's to create work. 'I don't know if you've ever thought about machines,' he said. 'Every machine that's put into a factory displaces labour. That's a very old story, of course. The man who's put to work the machine isn't any better off than he was before; the three men that are thrown out of a job are very much worse off....The cure is for somebody to buckle to and make a job for the three men. 'I believe that that's the thing most worth doing in this modern world,' he said quietly. 'To create jobs that men can work at, and be proud of, and make money by their work. There's no dignity, no decency, or health today for men that haven't got a job. All other things depend on work today: without work men are utterly undone' (167).

Snakes and Me don't go together all that well. The same with spiders, two creatures which played a fairly big part in this book. The loss of one star can probably be attributed to this alone. Also the fact that although I appreciate there introductory and character building purposes the first three books still seem slightly inferior to me.
