I didn't like this book too much. I found it difficult to relate to the main character. But, this was definitel an interesting treatment of the experience of loss after 911. ]]> 23578834 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:49:17 -0700 Comment701700 http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show_group/27143.Woman_s_husband_gets_hurt_in_a_dumb_race_on_his_horse_their_kid_gets_killed_by_same_horse_woman_starts_posing_for_local_artist_ June made a comment in the What's The Name of That Book??? group:

I liked this book! Four friends in middle school experience outsidership, politics, and rule breaking. I like the tone of the book a lot. The kids aren't Nickelodeon annoying, or super cute. They seem like real kids.

It was quick to read, and I was impressed with the issues it tackled. The main character, Bobby and his friends Addie, Joe and Skeezie are misfits at their school. When elections for school president come around, Addie decides to create a third party to represent 'minorities' at school. The friends learn that there are many kinds of minorities, and start a campaign to stop name calling at their school.

This book deals very elegantly with adolescence, sexuality, death, class, and popularity. ]]> 21452260 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 17:58:06 -0700 Review19601582 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19601582 The Air We Breathe: A Novel (Hardcover) by Andrea Barrett

bookshelves: didn-t-finish
Annoying me so far. Self indulgent and unnecessarily wordy. I am pressing on....

I give up! Maybe I have too much anxiety to finish it. It's due back at the library, and after my 'Heroes' marathon, I didn't have the time or will to finish. Maybe I'll try again at a later date. ]]> 21290104 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:58:56 -0700 Review19471064 http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19471064 Once You Go Black: Desire, Choice and Black Masculinity in Post-War America (Sexual Cultures) by Robert Reid-Pharr
