Ilustration Conducive To Books Wide Awake

I can't believe there's going to be a gay Jewish president.

As my mother said this, she looked at my father, who was still staring at the screen. They were shocked, barely comprehending.

Me? I sat there and beamed.

Everything seems to be going right in Duncan's life: The candidate he's been supporting for president has just won the election. Duncan's boyfriend, Jimmy, is with him to celebrate. Love and kindness appear to have won the day.

But all too quickly, things start to go wrong. The election is called into question... and Duncan and Jimmy's relationship is called into question, too. Suddenly Duncan has to decide what he's willing to risk for something he believes in... and how far he's willing to go to hold on to the people we hold dear.

Evaluation About Books Wide Awake

The two books I have read from David Levithan so far have required quite a bit of suspension of disbelief - in "Boy Meets Boy" it was a bit easier to get over the initial resistance to it, but "Wide Awake" suffers because of it. It's a shame, because it could have been a truly great and inspiring YA novel. Levithan's world-building always seems to push a bit too far - my first stumbling block was the notion that in the future we no longer shop for stuff, but just go to look at them and then

The fact that this book was published in 2006 and the ideas are still relevant in 2018, perhaps even more than they were then, made me emotional more than once. It's not a perfect book, sometimes unnecessarily poetic, but it's really good.

A huge disappointment after Boy Meets Boy. This novel was way too preachy, I felt like Levithan hammered me over the head with his message at every point. Where Boy Meets Boy was beautiful, funny and sad, Wide Awake was just... boring. I felt no sort of relationship with the characters at all, there was never any doubt as to how it all would turn out, and the beautiful phrases that had made Boy Meets Boy such a joy to read was sorely lacking from this novel.

I have never read a book, especially one written over a decade ago, that is so incredibly relevant to current events. I was floored with my love for this book. Absolute necessity. Read it IMMEDIATELY.

There are three things about David Levithan's books that I adore: the tenderness with which the protagonist views the world, the writing that has so much energy it seems to pop off the page, and finally, the creation of a world that is so idealistic and believable that I want to pack my bags and move to it. It's the last one that I had a problem with in this book.Wide Awake is set sometime in the distant future where teens hang out at non-shopping malls and give their money to charity rather

I'm not in the mood to continue reading this right now and I hate having it as "currently-reading" on my main page because there's too many books and I get stressed, so I'm shelving as "abandoned" for now.

I'm a fan of David Levithan. His characters feel like old friends from the very beginning of his books. Duncan and Jimmy are no exception - their relationship isn't perfect, but it is beautiful and lyrical and touching. The story, centering around a contested election involving the first gay Jewish president, definitely made me think and wonder about the future. Could this be possible someday? If this could be possible, what else about our world could change? I enjoy finding books that ask big
