What a fun light read for the summer!
I was given this book and reading it made me realize I wanted to focus my history text time to the Revolutionary War sub-genre. A thrilling tale that made me excited to be an American (I didn't think that was possible).
Won an ARC from her "get unplugged" contest. I honestly have to say I was a bit disappointed with this one. Too much inner monologue and preaching, it got boring after a while. A lot of readers pointed out that this was one of Justin's flaws in Awaken (I didn't mind so much, because I really liked Awaken), so I would have thought the author already fixed her tendencies to over-ruminate. Katie Kacvinsky really needs to understand more the writing concept of showing, not telling. On a more positive note, Maddie kicked some serious ass in this book. Hopefully, the last book will be better and more memorable than Middle Ground, because this is a really interesting series that I think paints a realistic picture on what life could be like a hundred years from now.
My favorite of the Sherman Alexie books that I have read so far. Junior decides to leave the reservation school to go to a nearby all white farm school. Try and go through high school being hated by your own community and looked down upon by the kids at your new school. Junior has problems for sure. Kinda depressing book but in a funny sort of way if that makes sense. Good book, a few teen age inappropriate issues and some language.
