Fell head over heels in love with this story. I hated that it had to come to an end.

In the middle of this book I was leaning over to my husband and saying, "This is brilliant. One of the smartest books ever written." But then the ending just fell apart for me, because it wasn't an ending. Clearly you must read Children of the Mind to get the whole story. Which I will. Orson Scott Card should be an ethics teacher. He made me wish I was an ethics professor while reading Xenocide. The book brims with ethical suspence. I really love the use of religion in these books. Quim and Miro are fantastic characters. So are the Han family. I found myself crying at the beauty and symbolism of these two families. I hate Peter Wiggin, which I guess means that we all have a part of ourselves that we truly hate. And since Peter Wiggin shows up at the end of the book,I was heartily dismayed. Thus the 3 stars instead of 4. I suspect there will be a lot more Peter Wiggin in Children of the Mind. Boo Hoo. Still love Ender though.

I found myself disliking the man character of this book, I don't know what it was, but I just couldn't be proud of him for anything.

I always feel you shouldn't be afraid to read books that have a different opinion/viewpoint about your beliefs. It makes you analyze them and how you feel about them. Of course it helps if they are well written and try somewhat to be objective which this book to be on both accounts. The jumping between the 1800s to today was disjointed and did not add to the either story the author was trying to tell. It's a tricky subject and one that we as Mormons I think try to avoid instead of understand. The subject matter is not really what I take exception to, it just was that well written and too slanted in it's direction.

All her books are excellent. I love the way she develops relationships in the books. The characters are full bodied and realistic. Not just cut and dried romance. You always learn something from Ms. Coopers stories.

The entire time I was reading this book, all I could think was "He should really just stick to kids' books." Cute works in teen-lit in a way that just seems forced and shallow in a collection of short stories. Can we say "trying to hard"? That's Adverbs.

Levithan's works never fail to impress me. Love is the Higher Law is not an exception. It’s a very good piece of writing that shares the sorrow, emptiness, loss and lessons of human commonality during the September 11 terrorist attack in New York City. Levithan has the ability to create characters that readers could easily get attach with. He also has the most creative and impressive way of starting each chapter in his book. Again, this book is not an exception. 9/11 stories are always something that I look forward to read, or even watch in movies (Remember Me is one my favorite movies and I’m excited to see another 9/11 movie named Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close). With this novel, I liked how a love story unfolded during the tragic misfortune of New Yorkers, how friendship could change something forever and why love is indeed the higher law.

Here's the thing with Prep--I was really excited about reading it. I just loved American Wife A Novel, and I think Sittenfeld is really talented (and she has a wonderful writing style). But if you're going to spend 4 years and 400 pages with a protagonist in first person, you'd better like the character. And frankly, I didn't care for teenager Lee Flora. From pretty much freshman year on at her tony New England prep school (where she's on scholarship), Lee is a self-loathing, insecure nobody sitting at her own table, pity party of one. Yes, she's thoughtful and insightful, but even she says she's surprised when people like her because she thinks she's so unlikable. Hey Lee--you're right. And she doesn't show much growth through the four years! I know that many of us felt angst and stress in high school, but the book never clearly answers (at least not to my satisfaction) why she would leave her family in the midwest to go to a school she can't afford full of snobby rich people that she doesn't like. And holy crap, Lee is just so internally talky. She overthinks EVERYTHING and she's so self-involved! She claims to want to fade into the woodwork but then complains when no one likes her or boys don't pay attention to her. And frankly, I thought the other students were pretty thinly characterized. The most well-rounded character is Lee (obviously) and I thought her parents (whom I liked, and really wished they had smacked Lee around a bit for being such a pill), but the other students seemed vaguely like stereotypes and Lee was only the one insightful, brave and self-righteous enough to call them out on their obvious snobbery. I thought the book was a little tedious and believed Sittenfeld thought the reader would identify with poor Lee because she was ignored and put upon. But since I found her to be the architect of her own exclusion, I thought she was kind of a whiner. I was happy when I finally finished it. That's not right! Huh...now having just read through a bunch of goodreads reviews, I can see others agree with me. I should've read those first!

In Katherine Center's second novel she tackles the concepts of beauty and identity after marriage and motherhood. Elena is the mother of three rambunctious boys and married to Peter, the classical composer and pianist. "Lanie", as she is called, is uprooted and trying to survive after a move from Houston to Cambridge, Mass. She's starting to realize that she isn't sure who she is anymore and when a fellow mother asks the non-pregnant Lanie when she is due, something flips inside her. Through very realistic and graphic (poop, vomit, and other bodily fluids abound) language, Center and Lanie convey the upside-down feeling of being a young mother and wife and trying to remember who "you" really is. Lanie is portrayed with enough of an combination of innocence, sarcasm and desperation that even those who've never experienced child-rearing will be able to connect with her. Along the way we find that marriage after children is constant work, general hygiene may not always be a priority in life, and that it is the mistakes, the "should-haves" that make each person unique and beautiful and that love finds a way, regardless of outward-seeming circumstances. I would definitely recommend this and Center's first book "The Bright Side of Disaster", as must-reads for all my female friends and maybe even some male friends for insight into the human and female condition of life and love.
