http://threedollarbillreviews.com/201... This semi-autobiographical story combines themes that many will recognize. It tells of the turning point of a young woman's life, where the course is dramatically changed and she knows that nothing will ever be the same again. Divided into two parts, the first tells of the main character's experiences during her senior year of high school, while the second moves to thirty years later as the woman returns to her hometown. This engaging story explores the power of forgiveness, both for those that seek to be forgiven for their actions and those that need to forgive in order to truly move on. Shelby Livingston grew up in a small town in South Carolina in what appears on the surface to be a perfect life. She has a group of close friends, and together they are known as the Six, inseparable and intensely close to one another. At least until their senior year when Naomi discovers a secret about two of the friends, and as a result abandons them all and betrays their secret to anyone who will listen. The tragic events that follow, as well as a worsening relationship with her mother, cause Shelby to leave home for good right after graduation. Thirty years later, Shelby has a rewarding career but the events from her senior year still haunt her. The loss of two of the Six over the years and being tired of a bohemian lifestyle due to her job have Shelby considering a move back to her hometown, and the house she grew up in. Attending her thirty year high school reunion stirs up old memories and marks the reemergence of women from her past, one responsible for the heartbreaking betrayal and the other a symbol of Shelby's hopes and dreams. Welcome Home is a wonderful book that explores universal themes. Childhood friendships are quite powerful, and mark bonds that are often stronger than familial relationships. Tragic events while growing up can have a drastic impact on a young woman and greatly inform the path the rest of life will take. This easily recognizable theme quickly pulled me into the story from the very beginning. The character of Shelby is well developed throughout and her motivations and obstacles are always clear within the story. Of the two parts of the story, the first felt a bit stronger. The writing is tight and the story progresses quickly. I was totally engrossed and turned the pages quickly to find out what would happen next. The events are truly heartbreaking, and I felt for each of the characters involved. As the story moves into the second part, the pacing seems to slow down a bit. Though I enjoyed the events of the second half, I wasn't as invested in the characters as I was in the first half. The second half is of course necessary for a happy ending to occur, and there are many extremely well done emotional moments, I just would have liked the pacing of the story to have maintained what was set near the beginning. There are striking contrasts presented throughout the book with the different levels of support and love provided by families. Shelby's parents in particular are set up as almost polar opposites, with her mother unable to understand or accept that Shelby is a lesbian and being cruel and thoughtless as a result, while Shelby's father may not understand but loves and supports his daughter. Melissa's parents, Mrs. Ballard and her female friend Sue Ellen, provide a safe haven for all of the Six, a home where they can all be themselves and are accepted no matter what. Each of these have a strong influence on Shelby and the woman she becomes, and following along as she heals old wounds and opens up to new possibilities is a pleasure. The romance of the story is not a surprise and evolves more or less without too much conflict. With the struggle that Shelby encounters over events from the past, it's fitting that the relationship she pursues is not overly complicated. The interactions between the women are touching and heartfelt and there are beautiful yet subtle mentions of the intimacy they share. There are numerous secondary characters that add to the story, and two of my absolute favorites were Melissa and Kara. The depth of these two characters adds so much to the story and had me smiling many times while reading. The one area that I wish had more development within the story is with the character of Carolyn. There are mentions of her life beyond their senior year, but there wasn't enough closure as was given for all of the other characters. Overall this is an enjoyable book that centers on the need to forgive past transgressions in order to fully move on, even after thirty years. Poulter has created an excellent cast of characters and a story that pulls you in from the very beginning. I hope there will be another novel from this author in the future!

Lilah yang menyukai tantangan dan mendapati dirinya mendapatkan kesempatan untuk mengganyang dan berkuasa atas diri Adam yang sombong arogan tersebut, tidak kuasa menolak tawaran untuk menjadi terapis Adam. Dan dari sini bermula dari adu mulut yang tidak berkesudahan, celetukan dan ejekan Adam yang menjurus yang ditanggapi dengan omongan lancang oleh Lilah membuat suasana dan perkembangan psikis Adam mencapai kemajuan. Dan mulai juga tumbuh percikan cinta mereka dari kebersamaan mereka. Sampai saatnya tiba-tiba kedatangan Lucrezia. Cewq sempurna yang ternyata matre ini selalu mengganggu saat latihan terapi Adam bersama Lilah, sampai Lucrezia mengumumkan dirinya adalah tunangan dan calon istri Adam. Lilah yang tidak tahan dengan Lucrezia, menyatakan pendapatnya yg blak-blakan tentang penilaiannya terhadap Lucrezia. Akhirnya (ini bagian yang bikin gw kagum terhadap Adam), Adam mengusir Lucrezia dan menantang Lilah (atau sebaliknya Lilah yang menantang Adam) untuk bercinta. Dan setelah mereka bercinta ...wooooooooooooowwwwwwww.... kejutan terjadi diantara mereka. Sayang sekali, setelah itu Lilah melarikan diri. Adam marah besar dan ketika akhirnya mereka bertemu kembali di rumah sakit ketika Adam berkunjung utk menjenguk kakak Lilah yang baru saja melahirkan... Adam mendapati dia bertemu kembali dengan musuh besarnya sekaligus cinta sejatinya. 5 bintang utk novel ini. Tokoh Adam mengingatkanku pada tokoh Huo Da di sinetron Taiwan berjudul Why Why Love. Tampaknya tim skenario WWL mencontek sifat Adam untuk dingepaskan pada karakter Huo Da yang meledak-ledak, temperamental, sinis dan egois. Dan membaca novel ini tidak urung membuatku senyum-senyum sendiri membaca adu silat lidah mereka. [image error]

Why> I read Into the Wild because I really enjoyed Into Thin Air, I love adventure/travel stories, and I wanted to learn more about Chris McCandless after seeing the film (especially more about his personal history and character). What worked: The writing is superb; Krakauer keeps the reader interested throughout by exploring all facets of the story in a non-chronological style. What is really excellent is that Krakauer allows the reader to decide for him/herself whether or not McCandless was a romantic and idealisitc Thoreau-loving John Muir kind of guy, a troubled young man who had issues with his father and authority, or an arrogant conqueror of nature who made one too many rookie mistakes. (I believe he's a combination of all three, but some may decide otherwise). The research for the book was also well done; the use of McCandless' own writing and notations from his book collection keeps the reader fascinated by the psyche of this man. What doesn't: In my opinion, Into the Wild needs revision. It seemed like the book was written too soon after the incident to really provide clear and unbiased analysis. I wished there had been an afterward about the McCandless legacy and his place in culture. Also, I would like to hear how his friends and family remember him almost 20 years later when the tradegy isn't so raw in their minds. Might they remember him less as an idealist and more of an inexperienced kid or would the opposite be true? It would have been interesting to interview young people and adventure junkies who have made the pilgrimage to the Magic Bus about what effect the novel, movie, and McCandless' legacy has had on them. Finally, I think the book also needs some revision with regards to Everett Ruess whose remains have recently been discovered and the true nature of his disappearance solved. Now that we know Ruess' fate, some additional comparisons could be made between the two wanderers. To read, or not to read? Definately give this a try; especially if you like Krakauer's other work, you liked or wanted to see the movie, or are a fan of hitchhiker-type adventure stories. It was a good book, but some of the magic was lost for me because I had already seen the film. The book was better than the movie so read before you rent!
