6/8/2023 0 Comments Invisible by Pete Hautman![]() ![]() I could really imagine meeting someone like Andy or Doug in the real world. One thing I liked about this book was the characters, and how believable they were. Also, it captured the essence of true friendship, because Andy and Doug would do almost anything in the world for each other. My favorite part of this book was that it was not like most books I’ve read it was creepy and eerie. This book has to be one of my favorite books of this year, perhaps even altogether. Invisible is a deep Psychological thriller with harsh twists and turns that will keep you up late at night reading. Andy and Doug are free with each other they talk about everything… well almost everything except for what happened at a place called Tuttle, years ago. In reality, Andy and Doug are on opposite side of the social spectrum, but they seem to make it work. He is someone who could have any girl in the school. ![]() Andy is popular and on the football team. ![]() The only other part of Doug’s life is his best friend, Andy Morrow.

Takaki’s “history” proceeds largely by anecdote, relying on obscure poems, diary entries, and newspaper accounts to flesh out his portrait of America as a bleak sinkhole of wasted efforts and futile hopes. Landowning whites may have begun the process by portraying Indians and blacks as savages forever outside the reach of civilization, but once under way, this unstoppable and systematic “demonization” relentlessly “set a course for the making of a national identity in America for centuries to come.” What all oppressed groups in America share, Takaki concludes, is just this sordid legacy of discrimination. Although ostensibly aiming to affirm America’s racial diversity, what A Different Mirror mostly offers is a history of ethnic persecution, from the federal government’s cheating of Choctaw Indians out of their ancestral homes in Georgia, to the long hours of drudgery endured by Irish domestic servants, to the job losses suffered disproportionately by blacks during the Depression. ![]() 6/8/2023 0 Comments Books by ali hazelwood![]() ![]() And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. ![]() Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. ![]() Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle.
