Now, that may be an irrationally nit-picky thing to point out, but I hold dogs and basically all animals in a higher regard than most people.

James condescends towards practically everyone around him. I mean, they order fancy and expensive salads from trendy fucking restaurants, drink Starbucks at art galleries 3x a day, live in brownstones and have access to nice things. I want real New Yorkers. Not these affected pseudo-hipsters. Find an appropriate euphemism next time, Mr. There are more PC ones out there.

There was a shift in attitudes towards the end that I felt came out of left field. What was the point of the therapy sessions? Nothing was really accomplished come the conclusion. Like, at all. None of the problems, aside from view spoiler [James breaking out of his shell a wee bit hide spoiler ] , felt resolved in any way; it is completely unsatisfying. Shelves: favorites. I was surprised I ended up finishing this book Around the middle of the book, something 'clicked' and I read a little faster, eager to see what happened with James.

I could relate to this, I kept to myself alot not the way James does, but I didn't care for the company of most of my peers and agreed with some of his thinking. I don't know if we would've been friends or not, but we have gotten along fairly wel I was surprised I ended up finishing this book I don't know if we would've been friends or not, but we have gotten along fairly well.

His family is His Nanette was my favorite, sweet and classy lady :. James' dad was a bit of jerk I got the impression he wasn't a bad man He feels guilty about not spending more time with his son I think and probly does love him but he feels 'obligated' in his affection for him.. James makes a blunder when he creates a profile on a website to pursue his older co-worker, he didn't mean to be malicious but his whole plan backfires on him. It was sweet in a way but misguided. I remember having the same opinion of college as James, I didn't go I hated high-school and I didn't see how college would've been any better.

The houses James wanted to live in sounded beautiful but I could tell he was still uncertain about that as well despite his insistence on it. The ending wrapped things up nicely, the final line made me smile because I'm sure all of us thought this at that age at some point or another.

Couple of my favorite passages from James: "I found this spectacle somewhat depressing, because I had always thought, or hoped, that adults weren't necessarily as hobbled by mindless conformity as so many of my peers seem to be. I always looked forward to being an adult, because I thought the adult was was, well adult.

That adults weren't cliquey or nasty, that the whole notion of being cool, or in, or popular would cease to be the arbiter of all things social, but I was beginning to realize that the adult world was as nonsensically brutal and socially perilous as the kingdom of childhood. I suppose this is why people always want other people to say 'I love you.

How do I know what I will want in my life? How do I know what things I will need? It is however, thought provoking, superbly written, and an intelligent take on the what it might be like for an smart and sensitive kid in the modern world. James is the main character, he is almost painfully self-aware and so intelligent it sets him apart form others and essentially prohibits him from having normal relationships with people.

I think there is truth to the idea that living in the world is hard for smart people, something this book also addresses through James, when mass culture is so crass and lowest common denominator, something that seems to get worse all the time.

Whatever: a short period of getting-acquainted time and less-than-amazing ending are forgivable sins in a special and enjoyable book that takes just an afternoon to read.

If this had been a greater time investment, the lame ending would've been a problem, but as it was I didn't feel owed anything, and sensed I'd already been more than adequately reimbursed for my trouble. This story is about a smart, cultured, snotty, fussy, wealthy eighteen-year-old boy who lives in the West Village, whose family actually seems to be fairly decent if New Yorkily self-absorbed , as far as families go, and obviously not everyone wants to read about a kid who reads Proust and Trollope, whose big dilemma hinges on having to head off to Brown in the fall.

But somehow the voice here was unique and funny and affecting enough to overcome this reader's initial unwillingness to empathize with such a character, or to read descriptions very funny, actually of his therapy sessions I know, based on all that it sounds pretty terrible!

But it was actually very good. For an afternoon, I was in this kid's head, and it was an interesting and illuminating place to visit wouldn't want to live there. All in all, a very quick and absorbing portrait of a "disturbed" young man, which made me laugh out loud several times on the train. Reviewed by JodiG. He isn't interested in the same things as other eighteen-year-old guys, doesn't even like people his age, and even keeps his family at a distance.

Nobody could blame James for being detached from his family. His father is a bit self-absorbed and seems to feel obligated to spend the little time he does with James. James' mother owns an art gallery and has just returned early from her honeymoon. Her third marriage has ended a Reviewed by JodiG. Her third marriage has ended almost as quickly as it began. And James' older sister, Gillian, is enmeshed in her own life, and an affair with a married professor. Even the family dog seems to feel superior to James.

The only family member James admires is his grandmother who is supportive and understanding, even if she is a bit eccentric herself. The only other person that James admires is John, who works with him at his mother's gallery.

James is a contemplative young man whose views on the world around him aren't always congruent with popular opinion. He sees the world with a mix of ironic humor and disdain. Although he isn't an "angry" teenager, James has distanced himself from the people and things that surround him. Now James' life is getting complicated. He has been accepted to Brown University but he has decided that he doesn't want to go to college. He would rather buy an old house in the Midwest and live in obscurity.

His parents have sent him to a shrink, one who annoyingly answers every question with a question. He has just ruined what friendship he had with John. And why are his parents now asking him if he's gay? James is a highly likeable character whose views on the world and himself are refreshing and insightful. This is a book that is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who reads it.

Shelves: queerlyphrased. I just finished this book and I'm still worried about James. I want to put my arms around him. This book is alternately hilarious and haunting. Peter Cameron does an excellent job of conveying the agony and mundaneness of loneliness and unnamed depression.

That said, this is not a depressing book; I don't read depressing books. I had to stop reading it while my students did independent work because I would repeatedly burst out laughing. This book is poignant, and it makes you want to read it aga I just finished this book and I'm still worried about James. This book is poignant, and it makes you want to read it again. I just It's a wonder, though, because it started out so smoothly and had a nice balance between humor and 'brainy-ish' dialog.

Somewhere around the introduction of the therapist, it spun out this painfully arduous reflection on human nature and life, which isn't a bad thing, but it wasn't headed in a direction that i was willing to spend on DNF Somewhere around the introduction of the therapist, it spun out this painfully arduous reflection on human nature and life, which isn't a bad thing, but it wasn't headed in a direction that i was willing to spend one more minute on.

It was also about this time that the characters became drab replicas of one another. Any distinguishing factors dissipated as the MC went into endless diatribes against everyone and everything. Jan 05, J. Quickly came to realize the main character just needed to get over himself, which made reading the rest of the book tiresome. He's clearly a good writer so I finished it, but can't say the book lived up to the hype it's been getting.

I adored this book and am surprised I hadn't heard of it until Goodreads recommended it to me. Cameron's take on the story of a gay teenager coming to terms with his life stands apart from similar books in a way that's hard to describe. A few memorable quotes in here but that's about it. What even happens in this book? I just read it and I don't think I could tell you. Shelves: teen-town. This book is a pitch perfect literary gem, with a comic precocious hero, James Sveck who is better read than most adults twice his age this one included.

She has given James a job at the gallery answering phones, which gives him plenty of time for is voracious reading. It is in these sessions where James duels linguistically with his psychiatrist, and his visits with his maternal grandmother, that gradually get James to come to terms with his fears and rejoin society at large.

This is a mature read about a mature young man. I just kept waiting on this book to get good, or to just go somewhere. While some of his thoughts and ideas I could relate to, mostly he had a really depressed outlook on life in general, and really just could not look at the bright side of anything. His mom, sister, and pretty much every I just kept waiting on this book to get good, or to just go somewhere. Not that James made it easy. I found this book in the young adult section of the library, but I can hardly see how any young adult would like this.

If this had not been an audio book, I would not have finished it. Since it was relatively short and the only thing I had to listen to at work at the moment, I trudged through the entire thing, but cannot recommend anyone else to do the same.

I loved the title, but the story was disappointing. Or maybe it was the writing style I didn't like. Cameron's novel feels like a long, drawn-out short story. There are a few insightful moments, but not enough. What bothers me most are the wasted words, which, if pulled out and transfered to a blank document, would probably fill about twenty needless pages. I don't really know what to think of this book. Otherwise, though, I think this guy was trying way too hard to make this novel Catcher in the Rye.

So just read Catcher in the Rye. It's better. I really liked it in the beginning and I really liked it in the end. The middle part? Is it a modern version of 'The Catcher in the Rye'? The main characters have some similarities, but James Sveck is a lot more fun even though he claims he is not and the writing is much, much better. James' session with his therapist and talks with his Nanette are definitely the best part of the novel. I just wished we explored a lot more with his life pre-Brown.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. And good thing I did. The story is about eighteen years of James Sveck, who instead of planning for his freshmen year at Brown is looking at real estate options in Midwest. Fai conto che io ho l'edizione con la copertina blu precedente all'uscit del film , ma probabilmente i numeri delle pagine corrispondono lo stesso.

Se hai tempo leggi quel breve passaggio. Un saluto! Silvia: appena arrivo a casa cerco il passo che dici e lo leggo : io ho l'edizione "post-film", spero che le pagine corrispondano! Sembrava che tutti fossero in grado di accoppiarsi, di unire le proprie parti in modi piacevoli e fecondi, ma nella mia anatomia e nella mia psiche c'era qualcosa di impercettibilmente diverso che mi divideva in modo irrevocabile dagli altri.

Era una sensazione dolorosa che mi rendeva molto infelice. Mi ha fatto piangere nel bagno degli uomini del Russell Building. E desiderare di non essere vivo. James ha 18 anni e vive a New York. Finita la scuola, lavoricchia nella galleria d'arte della madre, dove non entra mai nessuno: sarebbe arduo, d'altra parte, suscitare clamore intorno a opere di tendenza come le pattumiere dell'artista giapponese che vuole restare Senza Nome. Ho chiuso questo libro poco fa, dopo averlo divorato nella giornata di oggi, e non posso fare a meno di rievocare i tempi in cui io avevo 18 anni.

Tutte scelte che sicuramente non condizionano definitivamente la propria vita ma che comunque rappresentano una tappa importante. A 18 si inizia davvero a diventare adulti.

E James, il fantastico protagonista di questo romanzo, ha proprio18 anni e vive a New York ok, nulla a che vedere con il mio paesino.
