| This English version felt like a "Lost in Translation" situation. I'd give more than 5 stars to the original one, which I read in original Japanese language in 70's. You'd enjoy it more if you read like a historical novel when Japan was recovering fr ...more | |

| Why does a male author insist on writing a teenage girl's inner voice? That was my question when I was reading this novel. I was once a teenage girl. Even though it was a long time ago, I can recall how I felt and how I was feeling. I never felt Tamm ...more | |

| I would've given it probably 5 stars if I had read it when I was 15 y.o in 1975. I would've also loved Banville's generous prose. I might have fallen in love with the dark and ambiguous atmosphere of the story. But I am now a jaded 65 year old reader ...more | |

| Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben writig together? Wow. It must be good. Or at least entertaining....That was what I thought. Until I actually started reading this book. It's like a story written by a high school kid who was inspired by some cool th ...more | |

| This is an important YA book right now. I especially loved the prologue and the epilogue. | |
“It is one of the secrets in that change of mental poise which has been fitly named conversion, that to many among us neither heaven nor earth has any revelation till some personality touches theirs with a peculiar influence, subduing them into receptiveness..”

“Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.”

“I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.”

“What's everyone talking about?"
"The end of The Iliad."
"That's the best part," Marx said.
"Why is it the best part?" Sadie asked.
"Because it's perfect," Marx said. "'Tamer of horses' is an honest profession. The lines mean that one doesn't have to be a god or a king for your life to have meaning.”

“The alternative to appropriation is a world in which artists only reference their own cultures."
"That's an oversimplification of the issue."
"The alternative to appropriation is a world where white European people make art about white European people with only white European references in it. Swap African or Asian or Latin or whatever culture you want for European. A world where everyone is blind and deaf to any culture or experience that is not their own. I hate that world don't you? I'm terrified of that world and I don't want to live in a that world, and as a mixed race person, I literally don't exist in it. My dad, who I barely knew, was Jewish. My mom was an American-born Korean. I was raised by Korean immigrant grandparents in Korea Town Los Angeles and as any mixed race person will tell you-- to be half of two things is to be whole of nothing.”
