In one of my college creative writing workshops, my instructor (a pretty well-known poet) told the class that he didn't think that it was ever possible for a writer to convincingly write from the other gender. I scoffed at that then--Jennifer Roberson's wonderful narrator Tiger from the Sword-dancer series immediately came to mind--but since then I've realized that the number of writers who even undertake such a challenge, not to mention the number who succeed (I'm looking at you, John C.

This is a typical YA book, full of pathos, passion, and drama -- mostly ego centric. I don't care for this kind of book, but I understand it's place in YA literature.

The relationship she had with her friend (who may or may not be gay, it was never clear ... only that he kept insisting he wasn't)was off-beat and took away from the story, though I admit that it lended a sense of realism to the story (life

I thought it was ok...without the john lennon/beatles theme, it would have been boring

This book is quick read. Its about a young girl named Pamela Jean but she calls herself Star learning how to cope with the death of her mother. This is story about self discovery and learning how to go on once someone you love passes on. If you havent guessed from title this is a bit of a homage to the beatles but mostly John Lennon.All the chapters in the book are named after Beatle songs.Its a good book but I would mostly reccomend it to any Beatle and John Lennon fans or to anyone thats just

As an homage to the Beatles; Pepperland falls short. Not even as good as the worst Beatles recording.
