Or that I was there. I wish that there was some chance of talking like this after tonight, or seeing each other. Like, really seeing each other. Of being alone. Together."

In the beginning of the story, they acted like they hated each other, but now they've become best friends. And even something more than that. The reason why I picked this quote is because out of the other quotes in the book, to me this one basically sums up the story. Plus this quote represents me in a way because I've been in this type of situation before, and remembering that makes me feel like I'm in the story along with the other characters. And I absolutely love when I get that feeling when I'm in the story, and I feel like I'm a main character.]]> 2017-09-26 13:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gre08259/mywkz83uutsu/wish/191237357 Book Review gre08259 https://padlet.com/gre08259/mywkz83uutsu/wish/191237536 New York Times

When I began reading contemporary fiction in high school, I remember feeling that each book was an absolute revelation. Whether I was reading Michael Crichton or Amy Tan or Tom Robbins, there had never been anything like it before in my life. The novel’s novelty passes, of course. I’m 35 now. I’ve read a dozen “we brought back the dinosaurs and they are mad” books. I’ve seen the conventions, and I’ve seen them interrogated.

But I have never seen anything quite like “Eleanor & Park.” Rainbow Rowell’s first novel for young adults is a beautiful, haunting love story — but I have seen those. It’s set in 1986, and God knows I’ve seen that. There’s bullying, sibling rivalry, salvation through music and comics, a monstrous stepparent — and I know, we’ve seen all this stuff. But you’ve never seen “Eleanor & Park.” Its observational precision and richness make for very special reading.



Early in the novel, Park’s English teacher asks him why “Romeo and Juliet” has survived 400 years. With Eleanor looking on, Park says: “Because people want to remember what it’s like to be young? And in love?” After a moment, he adds, “Is that right?”

I read up to the whole review. I couldn't stop reading it! ]]> 2017-09-26 13:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gre08259/mywkz83uutsu/wish/191237778
