Irene M (130 KP) rated The Rainbow Stick Boy in Books
Dec 7, 2018
While every other stick person is one colour, Huey is born rainbow coloured. The book looks at how he is treated differently, how he tries to hide what he is so he can fit in and could easily be used to help children understand MANY differences in life. I read this to see if it would help my Aspergers son to understand that being a bit different is okay, and it will be perfect for that, but could easily be used for any other physical or behavioral difference, possibly even as a way to help understand transgender and homosexuality and other "differences" to ALL ages.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated In the Darkroom in Books
Jul 28, 2017
Her father's confusion over what she believed to be 'female', at the same time denying an abusive past and surviving the holocaust, highlights the troubles of adopting another identity as a form of escape.
Faludi's attempt to understand her father, however, is deeply moving - trying to process her previous actions with her past and her present is an account that many can relate to. Her passion to find out the enigma that is her father is commendable and there were many times I shed a tear listening to this tale of much sorrow.
It really is a masterpiece of writing and will go down as an important piece of literature for this decade.
