Bueno, es oficial: estoy totalmente enganchado a la narración tipo flujo de conciencia. La escritura era muy melancólica y si hubiera sido un poco más fluida, ¡seguro que me habría resbalado y caído de cara a mitad del libro! ¿Sabes cómo de vez en cuando aparece un libro que estás seguro de que no olvidarás pronto pero no puedes explicar exactamente *POR QUÉ*? Así me siento con *Mi vida ahora* de Meg Rosoff y estos niños tan preciosos. Un entorno encantador, personajes extraordinariamente en...

Tengo recuerdos tan entrañables de Mi vida ahora de Meg Rosoff.

Pasé un tiempo considerando cómo calificaría este libro, pero finalmente me decidí por una calificación de 5/5, y aquí está el porqué:Me preocupa muchísimo que tantos lectores no puedan ver más allá de la relación poco convencional entre nuestra protagonista y su primo, porque eso no es, en absoluto, de lo que trata el libro. Ese es el único verdadero punto débil de "Mi vida ahora"—desafortunadamente, Meg Rosoff pareció dirigir su libro a una audiencia demasiado inmadura para darse cuenta de que...

Para ser justos, tuve muchas advertencias. Había leído la reseña de Tatiana, así que debería haber estado bien preparada. La sabiduría popular dicta que cuando los primos se desmadran, es probable que acabes con algo así: [imagen error] ¡No! ¡No! ¡Noooooooooooooooooo! Pero nadie les dijo eso a Daisy y Edmond. Nada grita 'amor verdadero' como acostarse con tu prima hermana menor de edad, adicta a la nicotina y telepática, mientras hay una guerra en curso. Este libro, *Mi vida ahora* de Meg Ro...

This summer I started doing more fitnessy activities not in an attempt to lose weight or clear my prematurely blocked arteries but in response to the plethora of Young Adult Dystopian Novels that led me to question whether I could a) win the Hunger Games b) jump from a moving train with my Dauntless buddies c) take out an alien with a swift kick to the face and then evade their hot spaceship pursuit. The answers to these questions are a) no b) no c) no. Young Adult Dystopian Novels forced me to ...

The world has gone mad... What is there to add more?While the book was a bit overly simplistic, there was something endearing about it. The 4 stars is for the unorthodox punctuation.Q:Every war has turning points and every person too. (c)Q:If you haven't been in a war and are wondering how long it takes to get used to losing everything you think you need or love, I can tell you the answer is no time at all. (c)Q:I noticed that once you realize someone's watching you it's pretty hard not to find ...

Horrible. This book contained inappropriate content for the recommended 13 year old and up readers. An anorexic 15 year old has sex with her "cool", cigarette smoking cousin. This book is everything you wouldn't want your 13 year old reading about. On top of the disgusting content I found there to be really no plot and no real clear resolution or ending. The characters were strangers to me the entire time while reading. I found the whole story rather boring and pointless.PLOT:3/20 CREATIVITY:3/2...

i may just be giving this five stars out of surprise... i was dreading reading all these teen books - not all of them look bad or anything, but there are just so many and i am so far away from my teenage years... but this one is a hoot! (if a book about war and death and eating disorders and all horrible things can be said to be a hoot. for my purposes i say yes) i liked the character's voice; it was just the right combination of faux-sophistication and vulnerability. and all the survival stuff ...

While the world wavers on the brink of war, struck by terrorist attacks and embargoes, Daisy's big concern is whether her stepmother is poisoning her food and how much she hates the unborn baby. Shipped off by her father to stay with cousins she's never met in England, she's not so far into herself that she doesn't notice something a bit odd about them. Osbert, the eldest, seems fairly normal, being responsible for his siblings while their mother, Daisy's Aunt Penn, is away but really wanting to...
