https://padlet.com/evolpi/h2qr9ifwavpc Titles, Authors, and Little Bitty Reviews of Books We've Loved and Hated This Semester en-us 2019-12-19 14:19:53 UTC 2019-12-19 14:22:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60f.png evolpi https://padlet.com/evolpi/h2qr9ifwavpc/wish/425891657 I have to give this book a fair shake:  it had some poignant lines and several laugh out loud moments.  Plus the story was pretty easy to read.  It was about Jewish boy named Jacob at a tough time in his life.  The focus of the story was on his school and family life, and a particularly nice-looking and very young live-in housekeeper.  
But I don't recommend it.  I mean, we get it Braff:  people think about sex sometimes.  But Braff, in trying (too hard?) to connect with his young-adult audience spent so much time here that it became redundant, tiresome.  Like a speaker who makes a good point but then just 
won't. 
stop.

This is The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. If you like a wild ride with many punny misadventures along the way and a gang of misfit character archetypes led by a boy late middle-school to early high school age who could kind of not care less about almost everything, then this is a great pick for you! It's funny, fast, and easy to read - an adventure I hated to see end!]]> 2019-12-19 14:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/evolpi/h2qr9ifwavpc/wish/425891660 evolpi https://padlet.com/evolpi/h2qr9ifwavpc/wish/425891662 Review and *maybe* a brief, brief summary.
