"Tis 1 part of the book stuck with me and irritated me. The daughter is in the hospital and her brother hit his head. He cracked his head open and according to his father, "one kid in the hospital is enough. His skull is hard enough so the hospital won't help". This made me furious, who wouldn't take their kid to the hospital. Their daughter also burnt herself making hotdogs but why do her parents continue to let her?" — Mar 04, 2014 05:19AM

"Francis is a immigrant from Germany in the1900s. She's 11 and has to work, against her parents wishes for money. Francis collects garbage in the street and sells it. At the end of the day she unwilling gives her share to a 10 year old to keep safe because she is a girl and is rendered incapable. This bothered me. Not only is it sexist but it is unfair to Francis I think this will become a problem as the story goes on" — Jan 28, 2014 06:49PM

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
