It's a beautiful novel, heartbreaking, but I didn't get a chance to finish it. <br /><br />I don't even get the day off, so it's even worse. I didn't even know most of the stuff that he did until I got to college. I knew the stuff they were telling us in elementary and middle and whatever were lies, but it never crossed my mind to look into the matter deeply (just because everything was so glossed over, it didn't stay on my mind long enough) <br /><br />I did like that aspect that it wasn't all action action action, but there was definitely an underlying sense of foreboding.Najelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529650047480022627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188049842243154327.post-79188674535500616952011-02-05T12:39:42.112-08:002011-02-05T12:39:42.112-08:00After the earthquake in Haiti I spent a week revie...After the earthquake in Haiti I spent a week reviewing YA/MG books set in Haiti or about Haitain Americans (Danticat has another MG, called Behind the Mountains I think) and this is one of the books I read. It has me even more curious to read Edwidge Danticat's adult novels, which one did you read? I think I may pick up Krik, Krack first.<br /><br />Anyway, I despise that we celebrate Christopher Columbus day but I admit, I like my day off =/ However he did some truly despicable things so I would give up my day off with much less grumbling if we stopped celebrating him and it was explained to all kids why he shouldn't be celebrated.<br /><br />Not much happened at first but it was nice just to develop a feel for Haiti so early on and get a sense of what daily life was like. There is an inevitable air of sadness I felt as a reader.MissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188049842243154327.post-60079341064476483192011-02-05T08:07:56.136-08:002011-02-05T08:07:56.136-08:00@Beth: I wish there were more books on this subjec...@Beth: I wish there were more books on this subject too.

Snyder and Graceling are similar but Study is much better than Graceling. So maybe you might give those a try? I loved them. I still need to read the last one.<br /><br />Another darker book is If I Stay by Gayle Forman. I read that recently.
