<description><![CDATA[The Hunger Games is an unfeasible story, most would think. But then some of the things that we act upon in society today are unthinkable.

<description><![CDATA[More, please!!! The Stand, The Hunger Games, Chaos Walking, and now Ashes. I do love me some apocalyptic fiction, and I read Ashes compulsively. I read it at the breakfast table, in the closet waiting out a tornado warning, in the bathroom, in the car, at the eye doctor, at the gym. I even skipped the American Idol finale to read it. When I wasn't reading it, I was talking it up to others or thinking about it. Quite simply, literary euphoria!]]></description>

<title>Book Review - Truancy Origins by Isamu Fukui</title>

<pubDate>Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:45:33 -0600</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[As a high-octane-kung-fu-science-fiction-multi-hyphenated-action extravaganza, Truancy Origins works. Really well. It's only when the novel veers into the realm of social activism does it suffer, struggling to say something both substantive and relevant. Still Truancy Origins should resonate with its young adult audience, with its snarky, rebellious attitude towards authority and education. Like literary wish fulfillment for wanna-be rebels. A middle finger to the man. Graffiti on the Wall.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This year may go down as the year of discontent in the children's book field. It began with a dispute over last year's Caldecott Medal winner, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, in which William Steig depicted policemen as pigs. Police groups in more than a dozen states called for the book's removal from library shelves. The American Library Association fought the pressure, calling it censorship, and Library Journal printed a defense that was unintentionally ironic: 'Steig... loved pigs 'because they are pink.'' A ban-the-books campaign also hit John Donovan's teen-age novel, I'll Get There. It Better Be Worth the Trip, for its brief homosexual scene, and Maurice Sendak's picture-book fantasy In the Night Kitchen, which showed a little boy naked.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's still not clear to most of us why Harry Potter became a rage among the readers and Artemis Fowl did not (though a strong fan following for the later series also cannot be denied). We should be just glad that we got both the series almost at the same time. There are, of course, some similarities between the two characters. Both of them live in a world of magic though it's secret (the magic world) and has to remain that way. The way J K Rowling has written Harry Potter is slightly conservative, but Artemis Fowl innovates his way out of trouble (and creates anarchy).]]></description>

The bias is based on a morality that had its roots in religious fanaticism passed on through the generations. Carla's reticence to be decisive is not believable because she shows moments of sophisticated insight which is not supported by her actions. ]]></description>

Even more amazing is that she could show such insight into the thoughts and problems of a young boy, conflicts that one would not expect a girl to understand.
