Question: A disappointing book about a tragic figure . After reading Robert Caro's masterful biographies (Volumes 1 and 2) of LBJ, I yearned to learn more about the background of Lady Bird--specifically what contributed to her not only staying married to LBJ but to singlemindedly propelling his career forward.  Well, Russell's book certainly disappoints.  It is very poorly and awkwardly written and edited.  The only new information that I gleaned from this book was gossipy.  If one  wishes to learn substantive information about Lady Bird (and of course about LBJ), Caro's biographies are a far superior source

Answer: NEG


Question: Wish I had known... . I don't care how great this book would have turned out to be if I had finished it.  Within the first 30 pages, Stephanie recalls the sex she had with the guy she's hunting down when she was 6 and he was 8 years old; and her Grandpa Plum shooting a grossly neglected family pet to end the animal's pain and suffering. If I had known about the distasteful elements in this book, I would never have purchased it

Answer: NEG


Question: Courtesy of Teens Read Too . Russel Middlebrook is pretty sure that he's gay.  After all, he's not attracted to girls, and he spends every day after gym class studiously avoiding the other half-naked guys in the locker room.  He's never had an actual experience with another guy, though, so maybe the attraction he feels toward them is something he'll outgrow--or maybe not.    While surfing the Internet one night, he finds chat rooms for different towns and cities, where you can talk to other people who are also gay.  And amazingly enough, there's a boy he meets with the name GayTeen-- who not only lives in his town, but also attends his high school.  Another gay boy, in his very own school?  There's no way that could be true-- especially when he finds out that the kid with the handle GayTeen is none other than Kevin Land, star of the baseball team, one of the most popular guys in school.    As Kevin and Russel get to know one another, outside of school and hidden away from prying eyes, they realize that there's no way for them to be together inside school walls.  The same is true for Russel's friends Min and Terese, who although they claim to just be really close friends, are actually in love.  So along with a few others, including Gunnar, who is straight, and Brian Bund, the loser of Goodkind High School, the boys form The Geography Club.  After all, no one else is going to want to join such a boring club--especially if they knew it was just a front for a gay/ lesbian school group.    As events at school heat up, with Brian eventually being outed as gay even though he's not, Russel, Kevin, and their friends will have to learn what's most important in life.  And that sometimes, no matter how much you might wish for things to be out in the open, you're just not ready.    GEOGRAPHY CLUB is a great, quick read from author Brent Hartinger, about the ups and downs of daily high school life, and the struggle to find ones identity
