Perhaps my favorite book I read for a class in college. Solid historical research, sharp and original analysis/framework, and one heckuva interesting topic/thesis...
ooookaay a few days ago the expected publication date was in may and now it is in SEPTEMBER????? noooo!! UPDATE: Now they are going to publish it in May 2014????? C'mon, I am angry! UPDATE 2: So apparently this comes out in August. I'm not even angry anymore, just sad. :( UPDATE 3: I AM READING IT!!! LAST UPDATE: I liked it. Very much. Especially the last part which involved everyone! I liked Isla and I loved Josh. There was something missing, but it is definetly a sweet and wonderful read.
When I finished the first in this set I was shocked and not ready for more. Yet I needed to read more, it was like a car crash that you don't want to look at but you do. And the more I read the more I wanted to look away! This is not a book for the faint or heart. Over all this and the whole set is good, its just not for everyone.
This was a very interesting read. The book was a great insight into why *I* acted that way when I was a teenager. It will also be a valuable asset for when my own kids are teens. I will buy a copy of this to have for future reading and I recommend it to anyone who was a teenager once.
