Totally cute! First loves, musicals, and a little deaf orphan waiting for Mary Poppins to adopt him! Adorable! Also worth mentioning, the father and son who can't just make a presentation about a monument in DC, but instead have to make a scale model of the National Mall, political conversations about the interned Japanese in WWII, and a variety of races and sexual orientations happily existing in a book without shouting LOOK AT US! WE'RE DIFFERENT! The negative: Red Sox. Though I did like theWhen Flannery first recommended this book to me with the promise of Boston and baseball, my exact reaction was, "........" The opening paragraph of her review cracks me up because what I remember most about Boston is: rats. Lots and lots of rats. Since "everywhere" is too general, let me tell you 3 specific places where I saw a rat.1. Subway (as in Eat Fresh®)2. California Pizza Kitchen, Prudential Center3. My dorm roomMy friends refused to walk on my left because whenever I saw a rat charging
Reviewed by Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen for TeensReadToo.comT.C., originally Anthony Conigliaro Keller, was born into a family who loves baseball, and speaks with a very distinct accent. Like his family, T.C. loves the sport and practically knows all there is to know about baseball. It certainly helps him with his grades; if only it could help him get the girl of his dreams. With quite an odd family, a knack at frustrating those around him, making sure he only gets a B+ on everything
I give the rating of two stars in its truest sense of "it's okay." This was a difficult novel to rate. I thought the writing was really good, and it was funny. But the main characters were all so incredible. They were all wealthy (or at least not poor), they all were really smart/got good grades, they were all really talented in different ways, they were all very attractive, etc. And I guess it is quite possible that three people like them would all be friends, so I don't know why I'm
I got hooked up after reading the blurb.My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger is an incredible book. Its the story of three teens in their freshman year of high school, about their most excellent year. There's T.C. (Anthony) who is obsessed with baseball and anything related with baseball, his best friend Augie (Asian gay teenager), and Alejandra a.k.a T.C.s dream girl who doesnt return his love. Each character has a unique personality. Its a book about a lifelong friendship and love. There are
I miss Boston. I miss walking through the Commons in the fall, drinking on roof decks in the summertime, riding the T and just getting off at random stops, shoveling my car out, pumpkin ale, my book club besties, Fenway franks, that feeling that a bar gets when a Dropkick Murphys song comes on, and perusing the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. Hell, I even miss the frakking BU students who ride the green line and the 57 TWO STOPS instead of just walking. This book almost made me
4 stars for being one of the most heartwarming books ever. My Most Excellent Year is a multi-medium contemporary about three kids; high school class clown T.C., theater kid Augie, and the absolutely badass Alejandra. This book succeeds mainly because of the main three characters' interesting personalities. Each one is unique and interestingAlejandra and T.C.'s romance is completely free of instalove. Their banter-filled relationship was so fun to read about. Kluger also does a great job with
