Antes de ler este livro com poemas de Álvaro de Campos, pouco ou nada sabia sobre ele. Pesquisei apenas sobre Fernando Pessoa, para conhecer a sua vida e obra, mas preferi não procurar pelo seu heterónimo, resolvendo descobrir pela minha leitura, quem era esta personagem. Ao terminar, digo que encontrei um homem que vive numa ânsia profunda por ser como é e de não poder recomeçar do zero. Algumas vezes compreendi o que me dizia, outras vezes não, mas esta poesia deprimente, enche-me, ironicamente, de esperança para não voltar a ser como ele, como um dia já fui. Encontrei um poema (“Apontamento”), que me deixou agradavelmente surpreendida, pois uma cantora que aprecio (Margarida Pinto) musicou-o e não tinha conhecimento que pertencia a Álvaro de Campos. Deste modo compreendi como até aos dias de hoje, Fernando Pessoa continua influenciar-nos com toda a sua obra. Tanto haveria para dizer de cada poema, cada um é um mundo por descobrir, mas infelizmente as palavras não me saem com a sabedoria de Álvaro. Creio que com o passar dos anos, ao descobrir e compreender mais de Fernando Pessoa, poderei tirar melhores conclusões sobre o autor e todos os seus heterónimos.

A somewhat fluffy story about a young Latina's coming of age. Sofi comes off as somewhat spoiled and self-absorbed, and even though she learns to love her family in Mexico, there's nothing here that hasn't already been done much better before.

Read it for school, and hated it. I tried to read it. It disgusted me so badly I only barely skimmed the better part of it. Still got an A- on the test--only missed the question about what shape the island was. I didn't like the plot, the characters, or the writing style. I know it was supposed to be some sort of social commentary on the world and the lack of humanity, but all it was to me was tedious and unpalatable (and even my dog wouldn't eat it, lol).

I read this while I was working on a play. Yes, all then names fell from my mind, but the images will last forever.

I enjoyed this story immensely. It was very similar to the movie (Goldman wrote both the book and the screenplay), but I have to say I think I liked the book more, even if by just a little. I also enjoyed the fact that Simon Morgenstern, the supposed original author, does not actually exist. I read the entire book wondering just what the original version was really like, only to find after completing the book, and doing a quick google search, that Goldman invented Morgenstern. I think I like the book even more for that. This is a quick read, and a funny one. I recommend this book.

Loved the story - very engaging. Do think the author tried a little hard to be clever, but I was sucked in from the beginning and couldn't wait to finish. I can't say that about a lot of books.

This little gem of a book is hard to find, so I took the time to type in sections to give others a taste of it. With all that is written about the woundedness of adoption (and I don't deny there is woundedness), Youd's Biblical approach is welcome. What is most valuable about this book is the Biblical basis for her observations and what she has done to guide the reader into a Biblical perspective of adoption. She acknowledges adoption, and its challenges, without the dread sentencing of other approaches. Writing each biography in narrative form, she includes questions called "You Decide" at the end of each section. Some of these question are adoption specific, some observational in nature, but most have to do with how God is working and how we respond to Him. And, in her conclusion, she illuminates the reality that ALL Christians are adopted by God into His forever family through Jesus Christ. This is not the last word on adoption or a Biblical view of it, but it is foundation upon which an image of one's self can be constructed that includes a past that raises questions about God and his son, Jesus, as well as a current adoption into God's family through acceptance of Jesus substitutionary death, and a future glorification in God's forever family. These are concepts that desperately need to be illuminated in the Christian adoption community. I hope more can be built on the foundation Youd has laid. I also think this would be a good Bible study for families, adoptees, siblings, even Grandparents. It may help to create a language in which adoption can be communicated about in a Biblical manner. I'm not sure the correct point in our family's development, but I would like to study this together. Youd's introduction is the best summary of this perspective. After quoting Psalm 27:10 and Psalm 22:10, Youd writes, "Why couldn't my parents keep me?" "What were the circumstances of my birth?" "What are my real roots?" This book may not answer all your personal questions about adoption for that is not its real purpose. It does show, however, how God uses what we may regard as undesirable circumstances for His greater purpose. Each of the four Bible characters, Joseph, Moses, Samuel, and Esther, were taken by God from their natural parents and raised by someone else. Joseph was actually thrust out upon God alone. Moses was raised by Pharoah's daughter. Samuel was trained by Eli, the priest. Esther lived with her older cousin. Each character left his or her natural family at a different time in life. Joseph was seventeen years old. Moses was an infant. Samuel was a young child, probably around five years old. The Bible does not say how old Esther was but she was probably a preteen. Each character left his or her natural family under different circumstances. Joseph was sold by his jealous brothers. Moses' mother gave him to the Egyptian Pharoah's daughter in order to save his life. Samuel's mother gave her son back to God because she had promised that she would if God gave her a son. Esther lived with her cousin, Mordecai, because her parents had died. What happened to each of these people?... ... With that brief introduction, let's begin these fascinating stories. Perhaps you'll find some of your circumstances written here. Perhaps you'll find some comfort, some courage, and some challenges along the way. It is hoped that you will trust God more with your life when you have seen how God worked in the lives of Joseph, who was never bitter with his circumstances; Moses, whose secular training was not wasted; Samuel, who had pure devotion to God; and Esther, who was guided by God's coincidences." pg. 9-11 The conclusion quotes Jeremiah 29:11 and reads: "In this world of uncertainty and constant change, where can a person find calmness and light in a violent storm, an anchor that holds firmly, a solid foundation on which to stand? Is there anyone who knows for sure which way you should go when the road forks or which path will bring the most contentment? Does anyone care how you really feel deep down inside when you're all alone? All of us long to be thoroughly loved in spite of our faults. Where can we go? Who can we trust? Is there an ultimate companion in whom we can place so much loyalty and confidence? ....[a review of the 4 Bible characters' victory over trials follows]... ... Your life is also a gift FROM God. What you choose to do with your life is your gift TO God. Finding the unique purpose for which he created you and by which you will find your deepest joy, involves a major decision on your part and that is what this chapter is all about. God is an expert at calming storms, bringing light into darkness, and holding firmly onto uncertain hands. He alone provides a firm, non-slippery foundation on which to stand... ...This is the same God that Joseph, Moses, Samuel and Esther worshiped. He is perfect in knowledge and love, and he is the one who wants to adopt you as his own child. God invites each of us to come and be a part of His family, a brother or sister to Joseph, Moses, Samuel, Esther, and others you may know right now. He calls you. Are you listening? Have you felt his Holy Spirit prompt you to respond? When I was a child, I learned that God loved me so much that he sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on a cross for my sins. The only way I could be clean and pure before a holy God was to accept Jesus' sacrifice as being personally for me. He died in my place... ...as an adopted child of God,I have all the rights and privileges or a family member. I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ, God's only Son, inheriting all his spiritual riches, including peace and joy. Through prayer I have direct access to God at any time, and he encourages my questions as well as my worship. His Holy Spirit is constantly with me carefully guiding me within the boundaries he has set. I am like a precious jewel to him. God has drawn a hedge of protection around me. He does not deal with me according to what I deserve; instead, in love and mercy God trains and disciplines me. One day, when my physical body dies, I will go to the place he has prepared for me. There I will live throughout eternity encircled in his love. How should you respond to God's invitation? Right now you can choose by faith to open your life to him. If you do that, God promises to come into your life and adopt you as his own child forever. He will assure you that he loves you and that you are now his own child by giving you His Holy Spirit, sometimes called the "Spirit of Adoption." Through God's Word, the Bible, he will feed your mind spiritual food daily as he miraculously fed the Israelites in the desert. God will defend you from the enemy because you are his own dear child. He will satisfy your thirst for truth, and as you follow his leading, God will give you the desires of your heart. Hallelujah! I am adopted! There's plenty of room in God's family for you. "In love, he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 1:5 NIV)"

This was a great choice to read following reading GenderQueer. Like that book, it is a collection of personal essays, this time on issues of passing, but defined in the broadest terms, to include more than just gender, race, ethnicity. While reading the book, I found myself thinking about issues of passing and identity in many other areas of my life. (The most obvious one is geek/fandom communities, and passing as a fan online and at cons; but it also applied more far afield.) I found the book great as an intro, as someone just starting to read in this area; I don't know how interesting it would be to someone already familiar, but it is probably always worthwhile to read personal accounts. The essays were a bit of a roller coaster ride of feelings; there were essays that really felt like a punch in the gut, then some that were uplifting, then some not so interesting, some that I identified with, some that I didn't. The book brings up many questions about passing, intentional vs unintentional, assimilation, access, expression of self vs choosing a representation, rights to claim an identity and questions of sufficiency, intersectionality, expression as activism or -- the other way around -- whether passing or presenting a certain way brings with it responsibilities (such as requiring activism), spaces and communities and the function of representation in those spaces, and ... there's even a sense of presentation in the act of reading this book in public, and whether I choose to hide the cover or whether I choose to be overt in making it known what I'm reading. One of the authors wrote, "Even as I write this I wonder if I will pass at rejecting passing enough to make it into this anthology."

Good, engaging reading if you like the genre. Beware, ends like dog stories are wont to do.
