"I like this book, but it wasn’t holding my interest… It takes place in Thailand in the 1960’s and this memoir- like novel has a bit of magical realism, with a lot Odysseus, Homer and Virgil also in the mix.I hope/ want to be in the mood for this book...more "

I really enjoyed this YA/ science fiction/ romance/ mystery/ dystopia, which at its heart is about the lies told by governments to the governed, the lies told by parents to children, and the lies told between lovers. Elder is a teenager who will rule...more |

I'm just going to come right out and say it: This book was BRILLIANT and I absolutely LOVED every moment of it. I devoured it all through the night and have been thinking about it ever since (3 weeks ago).
Where to begin with my (rave-on) review? It... " Read more of this review » |

| I didn’t read all three of the novels in this omnibus. Yet. For now, I only read the first novel The Underdog, previously unpublished in the US, and Zusak's first novel, about the teenage brothers Ruben and Cameron Wolfe, who get into trouble, fight...more | |

“I could think of nothing else to say to her. In fact I could never think of anything to say to her, and I sat thinking of past painful conversations between us: How are you, Jean Louise? Fine, thank you ma'am, how are you? Very well, thank you; what have you been doing with yourself? Nothin'. Don't you do anything? Nome. Certainly you have friends? Yessum. Well what do you all do? Nothin'.”

“Jen and I were accustomed to our father's last-will-and-testament diction, and were at times free to interrupt Atticus for a translation when it was beyond our understanding.”

“It's not necessary to tell all you know. It's not ladylike--in the second place, folks don't like to have somebody around knowin' more than they do.”

“In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find - if it's a good novel - that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little... But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
― Ursula K. Le Guin
“She has committed no crime, she has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance, but I cannot pity her: she is white. She knew full well the enormity of her offense, but because her desires were stronger than the code she was breaking, she persisted in breaking it. She persisted, and her subsequent reaction is something that all of us have known at one time or another. She did something every child has done-she tried to put the evidence of her offense away from her. But in this case she was no child hiding stolen contraband: she struck out at her victim-of necessity she must put him away from her-he must be removed from her presence, from this world. She must destroy the evidence of her offense.”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
