| This is a profound and elegant novel, one that looks deeply and candidly into the inner lives of one American family. Huddle has long been a master at exposing that razor-wire solitude where his characters live, and in this novel he is working at his...more | |

| I loved this book. What could have been a trite send-up of celebrity becomes in Taylor's funny, swift prose, a very moving, inventive, and deep look at how we decide who we are. In this case, it's Regina Bloombsbury, whose high school basement band T...more | |

| funny, and scary, too. as ever, james, shows a keen sense of the absurd, inviolable rules of high school life. the adult characters are particularly well drawn, which is also unusual in a y.a. novel. some of the action sequences are killer, so to spe...more | |

| this is an intense, brooding novel, absolutely gripping, and a perfect match in its tone and urgency to wuthering heights, on which it's loosely based. james captures the unbearable silence and upheaval of teenage life, as well as offering up an auth...more | |
“The books of our childhood offer a vivid door to our own pasts, and not necessarily for the stories we read there, but for the memories of where we were and who we were when we were reading them; to remember a book is to remember the child who read that book.”
― Lewis Buzbee, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop
― Lewis Buzbee, The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop
“"It’s not as if I don’t have anything to read; there’s a tower of perfectly good unread books next to my bed, not to mention the shelves of books in the living room I’ve been meaning to reread. I find myself, maddeningly, hungry for the next one, as yet unknown. I no longer try to analyze this hunger; I capitulated long ago to the book lust that’s afflicted me most of my life.”

“Maturity and experience shouldn't stop one from craving silly things like sliding down bannisters.”

“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“The prime function of the children's book writer is to write a book that is so absorbing, exciting, funny, fast and beautiful that the child will fall in love with it. And that first love affair between the young child and the young book will lead hopefully to other loves for other books and when that happens the battle is probably won. The child will have found a crock of gold. He will also have gained something that will help to carry him most marvelously through the tangles of his later years.

“When you're writing a book, it's rather like going on a very long walk, across valleys and mountains and things, and you get the first view of what you see and you write it down. Then you walk a bit further, maybe up onto the top of a hill, and you see something else. Then you write that and you go on like that, day after day, getting different views of the same landscape really. The highest mountain on the walk is obviously the end of the book, because it's got to be the best view of all, when everything comes together and you can look back and see that everything you've done all ties up. But it's a very, very long, slow process.”
