Interesting storyline
Dealt realistically with LGBT issues
Didnt get to know the characters deep enough (0 more)
Follows the life of a male high school student, Simon, who is currently disguising that he is gay. He then finds comfort in an online friend who is struggling with the same problem. Simon then endeavours to find out who his online recipient is, while all along trying to keep his sexuality a secret.

I enjoyed watching popular film with an LGBT main character.
Simon is a lovable and an easily relatable teenager.

Very easy to use
I used this a while back and it was so fun and easy to use. I took French in high school so the beginning courses were to brush up but as it got harder it was easy to follow along and I didn't get frustrated or confused. I downloaded it onto my daughter's iPod and she uses it from time to time when she is bored and I love hearing her tell me what certain words mean in Spanish, which is the language she chose to learn.

Aaron is enjoying catching up with friends at his high school reunion when Stephanie gets the call that her husband, a political activist, is murdered. The plot (and sub-plots) move along well, and I do like the characters. Unfortunately, the author is too obvious with his political leanings and he pays no attention to the passage of times. (Then again, I want to live in a world where every day is Saturday.)

Mitch Malone has returned to his hometown to teach a seminar on investigative reporting. But that also means facing the ghosts of his past, including several tragic deaths. The murder of his high school crush forces him into facing things he's been running from for a long time. I enjoyed the mystery, which was very fast moving. I felt like the characters outside of Mitch could have used more development.
