First, let me start by saying this is a banned book - for reasons I am unsure. Yes, I have read why and think they are poppycock. This book should be required reading, not forbidden. Eleanor is a very wounded young girl of 16. Caught between child and womanhood, Eleanor struggles to be the glue for her young siblings in a house of horrors, thanks to her stepdad, a drunk who is unkind and creepy (there is no bathroom door, he leers at Eleanor, and as it turns out, is suggestive with his comments). After relocating, yet again, Eleanor finds herself on the bus sitting next to an Asian kid (her words), who turns out to be far more than she could ever have hoped. Park (the kid on the bus) comes from a polar opposite family, where the kid is embarrassed because his parents kiss, on the lips, with tongue, regardless of who is watching. Park and his brother's biggest worries are what's for dinner at their grandparents' house the following Sunday. While Eleanor struggles to stay unnoticed in high school, she wears unconventional statement pieces (men's ties, feathers, etc.) to cover up the fact that her clothes are used and often with rips in undesired places or several sizes too large. Park, the cool kid, wears all the right clothes, fits in without trying, even though he feels an outcast because of his ethnicity in all-white Omaha, and is unbelievably drawn to Eleanor's uniqueness. Over time, Park's genuine kindness and patience win out, and Eleanor gives him a chance to show her how she deserves to be treated and respected. Eleanor & Park has SO many good lessons in it (and no overt sex and only a few harsh swear words. It was banned for 'vile profanity' with 227 instances of coarse language and sexuality (I am literally rolling my eyes at this)) that teenagers should read this book to get an understanding of how some of their peers may be living and what struggles they have. A book like Eleanor & Park should be celebrated for its empathy, not banned. I read this book in a single day. It's like a trip in a time machine back to your first love. I couldn't put it down. The kids are sweet, smart, misfits who find each other by accident and get caught up in a wonderful rush of innocent first love while the girl is trapped in a house where love has gone really wrong. Her boyfriend and his family are her only escape. The whole story is bittersweet but wonderful.
I have never seen anything quite like “Eleanor & Park.” Rainbow Rowell’s first novel for young adults is a beautiful, haunting love story — but I have seen those. It’s set in 1986, and God knows I’ve seen that. There’s bullying, sibling rivalry, salvation through music and comics, a monstrous stepparent — and I know, we’ve seen all this stuff. But you’ve never seen “Eleanor & Park.” Its observational precision and richness make for very special reading. È contenuto inHa come supplementoPremi e riconoscimentiMenzioniElenchi di rilievo
Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits--smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
