A teacher gets tasked with teaching sex ed - but not really teaching it. ( ) I put off reading this book because I couldn't stomach the tension of reading some "current controversy", tense and depressing book, a la Jodi Poucault. I ended up reading it as an alternative to all the lengthy history books on my bedside table. It was far lighter than I expected, and very hard to put down. I read it in about 24 hours. It has been criticized for being stereotypical--of evangelical Christians, and of gays--and for not being as well-developed as other Perrotta novels, but it definitely demonstrates his ability to draw readers in, and I'll seek out more of his books, with less trepidation!
What a movie it will be: Divorced suburban mother of two fights the Tabernacle crazies who have taken over her school. The problem is that while Perrotta's novels may make for good movies, they don't make for very good books. Prix et récompensesDistinctions
Ruth Ramsey is the human sexuality teacher at the local high school. Her daughter's soccer coach, Tom Mason, is a former bad boy who hit rock bottom and was saved. Now a member of the local evangelical Christian church that sees Ruth Ramsey and her sex ed classes as a target, the two become bitter adversaries. But when controversy on the soccer field forces them to actually talk to each other, an uneasy friendship begins to develop. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
