Loading... Are We There Yet?by David Levithan
None. What I like most about Levithan’s stories is the characters. They are so real, and yet so unique. In this case, two brothers who have grown distant. Levithan knows how to capture what life is. His writing is spot on and relatable. I’m a woman, so I can’t say I can fully relate but I have plenty of siblings and more than enough lost friends who I’ve let distance and time take away from me. Levithan is a pro at bringing the emotions of the book through into very plain focus. He makes you want to do something about those emotions. His prose is beautiful. I didn’t like the book as much as some of his other books, but it was still a great read. (  ) Kassilem | Apr 20, 2013 |  I generally dig anything Levithan writes. This was no exception, though I didn't want to marry it the way I did some of his books. I loved the oblique way the story of the two semi-estranged brothers unfolded, I loved the odd girl who shows up in the middle of their trip, and the end was perfect. Very enjoyable, indeed. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | It's been a few years ago that I read this and still I can remember one definite feeling this book gave me: wanderlust. I wanted to pack a suitcase and go explore a country I've never been to before. Furthermore, as I'm a single child, I enjoyed reading about the sibling relationship in this book and I'm really glad that I picked this up! ( ) HereWithoutYou | Mar 31, 2013 | Something about the transition between what was happening and the brothers making up didn't quite work... what made Daniel realize it was silly to buy ties for his bosses and make a new list... ? I don't know. It didn't quite work. But it was still really enjoyable. :) ( ) amaraduende | Mar 30, 2013 | YA Levithan  coolmama | Nov 2, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
