The Realm of Possibility
Endless possibilities.
There's the girl who is in love with Holden Caulfield. The boy who wants to be strong who falls for the girl who's convinced she needs to be weak. The girl who writes love songs for a girl she can't have. The two boys teetering on the brink of their first anniversary. And everyone in between.
As he did in the highly acclaimed Boy Meets Boy, David Levithan gives us a world of unforgettable voices that readers will want to visit again and again. It's the realm of possibility open to us all - where love, joy, and the stories we tell will linger.
I actually liked this quite a bit, but the low rating is for the unwieldy format. It's 20 interrelated prose-poems, each from a different character's POV, and as the book progresses we pick up different plotlines through hints back to earlier events in earlier poems (though some go nowhere, and that really annoyed me). The poems are a bit hit and miss in quality, and the stories they tell are the same, but there's a lot of heart in the characters. I particularly liked Anton and Gail's story - I
It's David Levithan, what do you expect?
9/1/20: Final review up Is love the gospel, or is the gospel love? Only the Lord knows, and the Lord isnt saying. Its up to the rest of us to make it out. To make it work. This book is not something that I would read normally. And what I do read normally, I have been away from that for almost a year now. The sole reason for that is how a small decision opened up a whole new world for me. One book made me look for more books like it and broadened my horizons. And I find myself trying out new
"Here's what I know about the realm of possibility- it is always expanding. It is never what you think it is.Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead.As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world's devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us."The Realm of
OMG! Levithan is a genius. This book, a novel in verse, has 20 narrators, all students at the same high school. Each tells his or her own story, and they all are inter-related. Some are friends, some are enemies, some are romantic interests. As always, Levithan includes gay and lesbian characters with respect and affection. Each student has a distinctive voice and we grow to love all of them. To fully see the relationships, I created a chart to show whose story was whose, who they liked and
This book seemed extremely promising especially since it is a David Levithan book, but I am completely done reading about Teenagers who believe that their life is terrible(When it is pretty much regular) and go on Complaining about it. The issues mentioned here are so goddamn petty that I couldn't help rolling my eyes .It's hard to believe that I was a teenager just two years ago ! I feel so old and matured already .

"I often feel I am living in fragments, skipping Over words, leaving the rest of the sentenceBlank in order to move to the next page.Maybe there is hope in fragments, that what is lostCan always be filled in by someone who knows."Every person is a planet with an atmosphere, that sometimes collides or fuses with other ones. If this book shows anything, it's that we never know what really goes on in people's minds, even when we think we figured it out (like we think in high school, whereI actually liked this quite a bit, but the low rating is for the unwieldy format.
