bookshelves: comics---gothic-novel
"Perfect Practice makes Perfect!" Teenage Relationships, Family, and how to publish a Gothic/Comic Novel.
Remember "Sidekicks" w/Chuck Norris and that young boy, "Barry", well this book is similar.
This young man writes a Gothic Novel, describes the history of Comic books and Gothic Novels, meets girl who likes Comics, relationship w/Step-Dad and DAD is sour, Constantly bullied at School, interested in girls but can't communicate w/them, and how relationships dissolve and develop.
I really enjoyed the history of Comics and the about the Series that are now out in Movies. Also about drawing and what it takes to make things happen.
Real good plot and twists and turns just like real life.
Hard to put down.
Would read again. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79040917 to: Boot Camp (Hardcover) by Todd Strasser
Similar to "Holes" but not w/a happy ending.

We are a "Throw-away" society and this book explains how we throw away our children and especially our "troubled" teens.

Shocking story of Brainwashing and abusing our teenagers, under the guise of "just following orders".

A real "Eye" opener of a book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79040604 Katherine (Paperback) by Anya Seton

bookshelves: textiles-england
Have U watched "EverAfter" or "Hoodwinked" or read the fairy tale, "Rumpelstiltskin"?
Well, Elizabeth C.Bunce does a magical weave of a tale of a young mill owner, named Charlotte Miller. Curses, family troubles and youth seem to haunt Charlotte at every turn of her life. Travell the lifeline of the threads of the Millers, Weavers and those of Stillwaters as Charlotte tries to untangle herself from the tatters and piles of cloth that has cluttered up the mill, and her life. I have always wondered about the young miller daughter in Rumpelstiltskin and I truly believe that Weaver of tales, Ms. Bunce has done that within this colorful tapestry of bounded leaves which some would call a book.
Enjoy! ]]>
