肾脏假设:或如何在七天毁了你的生活

优点:哇,我就更不可能不同意审查员在两颗恒星。我爱伊丽莎的其他作品像米利森特敏三部曲和鲍比和女孩,所以我很兴奋阅读肾脏假设。来自家庭、文化、社区近视的人认为哈佛是生活的缩影,我知道太多的人谁教他们的孩子享有杰出人士,认为一个常春藤盟校的文凭意味着你比其他人好。我认为“讨厌运动”对希格斯是一个很好的唤醒称之为智力和成绩和成就,不超过友谊、仁慈、同情和实际思考和为他人着想。更重要的是,它承认“完美”带来的痛苦和不安全感。我知道很多年轻人学习这节课可以站。我在30年代,但我内心的少年彻底欣赏这本书。缺点:通常的咒骂,这几天在青少年吸烟。我不知道希格斯真的学到他的课就得到了欺诈。父母的忽视是麻烦,但现实的考虑他们处理,然而这不是解释有助于一个更年轻的读者。 (As an adult I can see the clear symptoms of severe depression and need for professional help, but the realistic stigma in the book and in the culture is unfortunately realistic.) The ex-girlfriend and other girls in school are one dimensional, yes. However I thought it was more a symptom of how Higgs saw them rather than how we are supposed to~ granted a teenage reader may not get that nuance. Overall I think the message that "success alone won't bring you happiness" is a useful message that some entitled people in my own community could stand to learn. Maybe not in yours, but definitely appreciated in mine. Five stars.
