The Basketball Diariesby: Jim Carroll January 30, 1997 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |
||
|
As a basketball player,this book was interesting. As a homosapien, this book was excellent. Not only does Jim Carroll have a talent for basketball but he also has a talent for writing. In the book, he describes everything he feels in such a way that would make you feel as though you were there with him. This book is funny, entertaining, and leaves you drawing up a perspective on life in the same way that Carroll does. I also reccomend the music of 'The Jim Caroll band' which has as much feeling as his words do. A great book for just about anybody!

Good Night, Mr. Tomby: Michelle Magorian 1986-11 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |

A truly wonderful book that had me in tears on more-than-one occassion (including on a crowded rush hour train out of London Bridge station one evening). it may not be 100% believable - but who cares. It's well written and should appeal to young and old. I love it.

Cry, the Beloved Country: A Story of Comfort in Desolationby: Alan Paton December 18, 1995 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |

This book was on Oprah's list for a reason. Read it ... and weep. I did, again, and again, and again.
In a world where people take things for granted it's important to understand that others may have struggled. Without giving anything away the main character taught me a lot about compassion. Beautifully written, one seamless poem .. and lessons that will remain with me for a very long time. >>More Details |

My Brother Sam Is Dead (Point)by: James Lincoln Collier, Christopher Collier December 31, 1989 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |
||
|
My Brother Sam is dead is perhaps one of the most boring books I have ever read. Perhaps it would have been different if it were not an English reading assignment, but I doubt that I would ever actually read this book out of my own free will.
This book is set in a time you cannot relate to, and modern day young adults like myself will find it incredibly dreary. The main character Tim's obvious immaturity and stubborness is frustrating, and ultimatey results in poor character development on the author's part. Over 120 children at my school are reading this book, and I have not talked to one that actually enjoys it, in fact, many groan when the time comes to read it. My one warning is: if you are a teacher ... Read More: >>More Details |

Always Runningby: RODRIGUEZ January 01, 1994 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |
||
|
When I opened 'Always Running' for the first time, something deep inside me snapped and I couldn't ignore recalling the memories of my long past days in East Los Angeles. --IT READ LIKE POETRY-- The memories sang out with laughter and tears; with heartache and celebration. It was as if someone else was there along with me, sharing the same experience. Suddenly, I wasn't alone. Not anymore. I pondered the idea that someone had stolen snapshots of my life. From high school moments at Garfield to running thru shadowed streets in White Fense territory that tempted only a fool to venture down. I experienced that life! That dark tragedy of twisted fate! Luis, you have helped me to bridge a gap between the past I desparetely wanted to ... Read More:

No-no Boyby: John Okada 1978-06 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |
||
|
In this novel,the nisei drama is sincerely depicted by J.Okada. By penetrating the characters' inner life, we readers not only witness about the conflicts and difficulties they share, but also their struggle to find a way out of this vicious circle. Within this vicious circle there are significant characters like Ichiro (the protogoinst) and Kenji. Kenji served America during WWII. He lost one of his leg in the war, but also he lost his masculinity. However, what bothers him most is the feeling of being deceived by his country. Of course, what is behind of this is the idea of racism, and Okada carefully marks this point. However, things are not same for Ichiro. He refused to fight not only for US. ,but also on behalf of Japan. So he ... Read More:

Shark Baitby: Graham Salisbury 1997-10 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |
||
|
A sad commentary on the personal morality of adolescents. Possessing a strong understanding of good and evil, Mokes still makes the wrong choices. In my opinion, this book sends a terrible message to young people, as the negative consequences of the main character's actions are not fully played out. Well-written, but I take offense with the lack of character of Mokes.

When She Was Goodby: Norma Fox Mazer 1997-09 Best Selling > Books > Social Issues: Fiction |

I am a college student working on a project. I read this book and I liked it. I had to evaluate this book for a class and realized that if I were younger, some of the things mentioned in this book, would be hard for me to follow. I love to read and I read this book within a day. I just think that anyone can read it, but only the mature reader will be able to truly understand it.

Soto delineates nineteen-year-old Chicano boy who has no luck in his life despite his continuous efforts to improve it. In contrast to the serious plot, Soto's narrative tone is modest, restrained, and, at times, humorous, similar to less serious books he has written before, and his insight is vivid and precise. His challenge in this work has been triumphant!
