"God of Animals," by Aryn Kyle, is an unflinching, powerful, honest, and achingly magnificent coming-of-age tale set in the American West. The period is most potential the mid-1970s--a time before computers, the Internet, cell-phones, satellite T.V., and antidepressant medications. The story is told entirely from the point of view of Alice Winston, a lonely twelve-year-old growing up on an aging horse arable farm in Desert Valley, Colorado. There are two transitions that take place over the course of the novel: one involves the arable farm moving in a new direction, and the other involves Alice growing into adolescence. Both are wrought next to difficulty and pain.
The ranch has be in the family for three generation, but it's fall on hard times and may not survive. Rich suburbs are taking root everywhere and the ranchers must adapt or fail. The days of proud horse breeding are over. The up to date business is catering to the needs of wealthy suburban horse lovers. It's the direction and reality of modern vivacity. There is nothing they can do to halt it.
Alice's transition into adolescence is just as inevitable and wrenching, but there's a verbs. At twelve, Alice is already an adult. It's primarily Alice's body that's undergoing change, but intrinsically the bodily changes induce a flood of emotional and psychological changes as all right. It is these that Alice has difficulty understanding, and there is not a soul in her life to help. Alice's mother is clinically depressed--she's only just left her bedroom since Alice was a baby. Once a star horsewoman, presently she is a mental invalid incapable of parenting Alice in any meaningful way. Alice's father, Joe, is overwhelmed keeping his business afloat, and is blind to his daughter's turbulent needs. He fails his daughter at every turn. Alice has have to parent herself--in almost every way, she is mature beyond her years. Alice's older sister is gone. She run away a year ago to marry a cowboy. Alice has no friends--she's different, isolated, not like the other primarily suburban girls that populate her school. Adding to her electric anguish, a classmate recently drowned. It's a difficult time, and Alice feels isolated, alone, adrift, and abandoned.
Alice's father, Joe, treats her resembling an adult ranch hand. When she's not at college, she's expected to do a man's work. Joe is a rough unsentimental realist, and is obviously trying to raise Alice in indistinguishable mold. But Alice is having a hard time remaining unsentimental. Unlike her father, she is acutely aware of the emotional side of existence, particularly the emotional needs of animals. She looks at their suffering and feel that the world is as blind to their needs as it is to hers. With practiced detachment, she takes in adjectives the everyday cruelty and abuse that often forms the foundation of ranching. Outwardly, she does not flinch, but inwardly she rails against it. Alice know all too well that the world can be cruel and unforgiving.
Two adults eventually enter Alice's time and offer her some degree of emotional support. Unfortunately, she finds out that both are merely using her to bring about their own private agendas.
This is a simple story about everyday realities. I loved both the human and animal characters, as well as the rich taking on of reality that underscore this humane novel. I also loved the author's fresh, powerful prose.
This is a subtle, unflinchingly honest viewpoint of life in all its complexity. It is a book roughly coming to terms with the reality of human isolation and cruelty. It's going on for making peace with the dark core of humanity.
My eyes brimmed with tears when I finished this novel--not next to sadness, but with acceptance and truth.
13 little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson --that was a very good book
Holes by Louis Sachar --that be also a good book. I read the book before the movie came out. I be reading this during Hurricane Isabel. My mom had picked it up when I wasn't reading it. When I wanted to read it again, she didn't want to put it down. She wanted to rip the book contained by half so she could keep reading, and so she could shut me up. lol. and no, I wouldn't let her do that. I don't remember who walk the book though.....
Secret life of the Bees by Sue Monk Kidd --that I read way before the movie come out. very good book.
The Blue Mirror by Kathe Koja----I skipped gym class in glorious school to finish this one =)
Hate You by Graham McNamee-----I skipped gym class again to finish this one
Med Center by Diane Hoh----this is a very addicting series.
The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett---I watched that movie so several times as a little girl, but the book was just as addicting. I loved it. I have this book in my history book when I should have been studying for finals hindmost in the 10th grade.
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks-----I cried so hard while reading this that my mom be telling me to just stop reading it. But I didn't. I just couldn't. I instinctively hate the movie. They changed some things that just contradicted things in the book
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton ---this may own been on a school's reading list you have have or may have....but it's one of my favorite books to read. One of my friends use to love reading this over and over again in class in the 7th category. And she'd just burst into tears. And my teacher would be like...'Taylor, It's only a verb...oh, not that book again.'
Waiting for Sarah by Bruce McBay-----also a very good book. I read this during class.
A Well-Timed Enchantment by Vivian Vande Velde-----I happen to love seriously of her books. Such as Companions of the Night---my all time favorite book.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell ---It's a classic =)
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte ----Also a very worthy classic. It was a 10th grade book. I listened to it on disk. But I've read it copious times since then.
Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld --that's a good series.
Uglies by scott westerfeld ---another good series
All American girl by Meg Cabot---I loved this book so much, I took it next to me to a school assembly. I didn’t care if I got stares =p
Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber---I love this series =)
Lord of the Flies by William Golding----It be a 10th grade school book. I loved it. I have read it over again.
The Stand by Stephen King---Very fitting book
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald---I read this fairly quickly. I loved it.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen----Another classic
I Know What You Did Last Summer by Lois Duncan----I stayed up all dark on a school night finishing this. Couldn't put it down.
My Dog Skip by Willie Morris-----I have not read this, but I saw the movie. Books are other better though, right? It was the first movie I ever cried at, and it was in a movie theater.
