I felt the same thing. Life of Pi definitely had me flabbergasted by the end compared to Navigating Early, but it did bother me that it took so long for the pieces to come together. <br /><br />My Friend Dahmer was really hard to read but also a haunting story that is so sad and that I won't ever forget. Makes me sad that people feel isolated like that, especially kids/teens. <br /><br />I really loved Up, Tall, and High! but I read it with my <5 year olds at the time and we had a blast. It was silly and fun. <br /><br />You read a ton of books this week!

I enjoyed Moon Over Manifest - and from the way you described the book, they seem to have so many parallelisms - with the gradual build up of the story, strength of family love and a touch of mystery. I know what you mean about Up! Tall! and High! While I enjoyed it, I wouldn't say it was my absolute favorite as well. I haven't read Life of Pi yet (although I have my own copy of the book), hopefully I get to read that within the year. I've also been reading quite a lot of graphic novels lately. I finished reading Ichiro a week ago but did not enjoy it as much as Friends with Boys. :) Have a great reading week ahead of you!GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-36104262240242616852013-03-11T18:09:47.908-07:002013-03-11T18:09:47.908-07:00I read Navigating Early this week too. I know what...I read Navigating Early this week too. I know what you mean about needing to just suspend belief and go with it - I was in the mood to do just that so for me it was a 5 stars book. Especially because Early was such a special character. I loved how his idiocycrancies were celebrated. The Cloak Society is on my son's bookshelf. I might get to it before him!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645170464461303667.post-62582315105663160042013-03-11T17:26:10.252-07:002013-03-11T17:26:10.252-07:00Wow!
