Assess Regarding Books Love Is the Higher Law

One of my first vivid memories was watching a playback of the second tower crumble into nothingness as New Yorkers ran with binders and folders over their heads, completely covered in gray filth as if death had devoured them and spit them back out into the world. There was tension between my parents for some reason, and I could tell that they wee trying to controll themselves in front of me and my brother. I didn't think about what was happening much untill I saw 9/11 in a history textbook. It

I'm not American but I still remember waking up and seeing what happened. I think most people remember where they were when they first heard what happened on 9/11. I was in my first year at high school and I'd never seen anything like it. I couldn't imagine what the people in NYC were going through. I've never read a book on 9/11 before and I honestly never thought I would. I've started reading David's books and I saw this one at the library. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it but I thought

This is a difficult book to rate with stars. I liked so many things about it; how one of the most traumatic events of this generation was explored, and yet the book was not dramatic itself, how through three teens' perspectives the profound effects of 9/11 were pondered and reflected upon, and the relationships that formed between the characters themselves. The only change I would have made was making the book more about the characters - their voices were authentic, and filled with wisdom people

I'm kind of obsessed with 9/11 and it's obviously a touchy subject as well as a tear-jerker, so I has great expectations for this book. It was OK. Just OK (for me).At first, I either hated or didn't like the characters. This changed a little as I read more and more. I was, again, OK with them. So, as you can guess, the story didn't grab me. I had no intense feelings, and I wanted to, so bad :(

When this book showed up under my Christmas tree (thanks Santa Bill), I suddenly remembered that I had wanted to read it. (And I hate that there's so much I want to read that I actually forget what's on my list.) This book was - in a word - AMAZING. There are many, many reasons why, so I will narrow it to three.1) LGBT - Levithan is probably best known for Boy Meets Boy. In Love is the Higher Law, as in other books by Levithan, he has gay characters. What I love about this novel is that the

I think I need to accept the fact that the David Levithan work I'll enjoy most already happened in the days he ghostwrote for The Babysitters Club.I like the idea of this book a lot, and I cannot deny Levithan packs in some beautiful sentences about 9/11. In the future there is much here that may help explain what was felt that day, what rippled through the country.But also: this is a novel. And Levithan's multi-POV narrative reads more like a project in multi-POV narrative than, you know, just

To be honest, I was not entirely impressed with this book. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't. I love David Levithan, and I love his style of writing and storylines, but this one was weak and under developed.Love is the Higher Law focuses on the events of 9/11 and the aftermath of the city of New York and how people (namely three teenagers) reacted and moved on. The chapters alternate between each of the three characters, which I always love, but unfortunately in this book it just didn't work
