The World is a Stage by Gail Sterling
Elisa - My reviews and Ramblings —
Authority: 439
This is listed as a Young Adult novel, but for reader from 16 years old and up, and it’s quite right since it’s a mix of life journey, like often in the Young Adult novels, but also of sex discovery. It’s also a very nice historical novel, but the type of history you usually find in the plays written in that ...2 days ago -

A note before I get into today’s review. It should be apparent by now that I’m not observing the holidays in this week’s posts. If you’re like me, by this time in the season, you’re ready to undeck the halls and find some jollies that aren’t seasonal. If you’re still in search of Christmas spirit, I ...3 days ago -

Becky's Book Reviews —
Authority: 524
Kelly, Jacqueline. 2009. The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Henry Holt. By 1899, we had learned to tame the darkness but not the Texas heat. That is a great first line. I just loved it. While I didnt love the whole novel quite as evenly, I did enjoy it--really enjoy it! Its historical fiction. (A genre I tend to ...3 days ago -
Stitches: A Memoir, by David Small
Blogging for a Good Book —
Authority: 124
I’m not an enormous fan of graphic novels. I’ve got no problems with the idea of them, I’m just not very visually oriented. So I hope you’ll know how much I liked Stitches when I say that it may be favorite book of 2009. David Small’s memoir of his harrowing childhood is a terrifying tour de force . ...4 days ago -
A diary for social change. A young girl’s terrible experience of war.
Memory Writers Network —
Authority: 106
Somehow Zlata Filopovics diary transcended these limits. Perhaps the readability of her entries arose naturally from the war itself. Dramatic tension erupted when, frightened by explosions, her family scrambled to the basement, not knowing how long they would be there or what would be left of their world when they ...5 days ago -

Those who read this blog regularly may remember my past posts ( here , here and here ) about the Amazon Kindle and recall that I have mixed feelings about it.

Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell In Love by Lauren Tarshis
Confessions of a Book Habitu —
Authority: 125
5 Stars JF Sequel to Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree Cute story, once again. These books actually have a lot in common with the Stargirl books-- only without the stuff that bugged me. :D For one, Emma-Jean is a 7th grader, which age would have made the Stargirl books make far more sense. AND Emma-Jean ...1 week ago -
THEATER OF THE ARID
Antagony & Ecstasy —
Authority: 134
There are a few directors who make dull, even insipid movies much too often for it to be a "surprise", but Im heartbroken every time it happens anyway. One of the kings of this tendency is Richard Linklater, who made the stunning dyad of romantic dramas Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, as well as the most perfect of ...1 week ago -

DISNEY ANIMATION: WELL AND TRULY, IM ON MY WAY NOW
Antagony & Ecstasy —
Authority: 134
Brother Bear is the platonic ideal of a completely vanilla animated childrens movie: the one Disney film that, whenever I mention that Ive been working my way through the whole animated canon, I can guarantee that whomever Im talking to forgot that it exists. Even I keep forgetting that it exists: when working on ...2 weeks ago -

Now, here is a situation that I do not understand whatsoever: after completing Aladdin in 1992 and witnessing as it became the highest-grossing animated film ever produced at that, and still one of only two traditionally-animated features to break $200 million at the U.S. box office, directors Ron Clements and John ...2 weeks ago -
