| I understand how this book appeals to young people. It's based on a true story about girls who became state champions. It's easy to read, but it's monotone and predictable. Matt Tavares has talent, and you can see his craft in making this book. ...more | |
"So many people seem to love this book but for me it was very light on detail. The main focus of the story is telling the historical details of the team and how they broke through barriers, which some kids will love. The characters just seemed a bit f"

of
The Elements of Eloquence: How to Turn the Perfect English Phrase:
"I don’t have all that much to say about this book (not counting the whole lot of nonsense I append to the end of this review). It’s a short read—charming, light. It promises the key to eloquence, but is probably better for a quick laugh. Nevertheless"

Cute, fun, colorful illustrations. Dull and predictable story that's not true to the way kids talk and act. Fonts, graphic design, and page composition are lacking. ...more |

The title of Princess isn't really a title girls should aspire to. You are either born a princess or you marry a prince. I know girls like princesses. I get what the author was aiming for. It's a message that misses. ...more |

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

Michael, I just took a quick look at papernapkin.com and think it is marvelous. Fifty States of Mind is the most exciting approach to U.S. geography I've ever seen. Congratulations!
