Beh, è ufficiale: ho un debole assoluto per la narrazione in stile flusso di coscienza.La scrittura era molto malinconica e, se fosse stata ancora più fluida, sarei di certo scivolata e caduta a faccia in giù a metà lettura!Sai quando di tanto in tanto capita un libro che sei sicura non dimenticherai presto, ma non riesci a spiegare esattamente PERCHÉ? Ecco come mi sento riguardo a *Come vivo ora* di Meg Rosoff e a questi preziosi ragazzi. Questo romanzo è un'esperienza indimenticabile.Incantevo...

Ho dei ricordi così belli di *Come vivo ora* di Meg Rosoff.

Ho passato un po' di tempo a riflettere su come avrei valutato questo libro, ma alla fine ho deciso per un pieno 5/5, ed ecco perché:Mi turba profondamente che così tanti lettori non riescano a vedere oltre la relazione non convenzionale tra la nostra protagonista e suo cugino, perché non è affatto questo il fulcro del libro. Questo è l'unico vero difetto di **Come vivo ora** – sfortunatamente, **Meg Rosoff** sembra aver indirizzato il suo libro a un pubblico troppo immaturo per capire che quest...

A onor del vero, ero stata ampiamente avvertita. Avevo letto la recensione di Tatiana, quindi avrei dovuto essere ben preparata.La saggezza popolare dice che quando i cugini si lasciano andare, è probabile che il risultato sia qualcosa del genere:[image error]No! No! Noooooooooooooooooo!Ma nessuno l'ha detto a Daisy ed Edmond. Niente urla 'vero amore' più dell'andare a letto con la tua cugina di primo grado minorenne, dipendente dalla nicotina e telepatica, mentre infuria una guerra.Il romanzo d...

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...
