When Anabel arrives things get even more enticing. The piano that sits in Miss Sister's dance hall calls to Theo. Thank goodness for Miss Sister Grandersole's Boarding House and Dance School. Now he's got to live with Uncle Raymond, a Vietnam War vet and a loner who wants nothing to do with this long-lost nephew. When Theo gets off a bus in Destiny, Florida, he's left behind the only life he's ever known.

I say "we" because I'm guilty of the same, and it took this book to make me realize it. Why not? If there's no shame in it, then why is there such an aversion created by the title alone? We don't want to think about eating animals. We don't want to face being held accountable for what we know. We have that general feeling and we don't want the specifics. There's an assumption that a book about eating animals is going to tell you that it is in some way wrong to eat animals-whether for the welfare of animals or for your own welfare-and most people "don't want to hear it." We know something is wrong with meat today-with how completely estranged we are from the process that turns animal into product. Just carry Eating Animals around for a few days and you'll understand. The title of this book garners a reaction from people who haven't read it and who may never read it. This isn't as much of a review of Jonathan Safran Foer's latest book as it is a reaction to it-a reaction to the reactions of others, even. But there’s weird stuff, too-like the curse everyone keeps talking about, and some camper who s gone missing. When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. When a freak storm hits during the school trip, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she’s going to find out. Piper doesn’t understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn’t recognize her. Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare about his being in trouble. They’re all students at a boarding school for “bad kids.” What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly? Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper, and a best friend named Leo. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up in a bus full of kids on a field trip.

Usually I remember enough to write up a review… let’s see what my opinion is after a quick flip through the novel: But the sad fact is that I forgot everything about ‘ History Is All You Left Me’ and I needed to skim through the whole book to collect my thoughts. I usually write up notes straight away, and I don’t know if I omitted my review because of the emotional impact, and I needed a few days to let it sit and simply forgot, or jumped in to the next read to get away from the book hangover and started to avoid writing a review. To be honest, 3 months had passed since reading ‘ History is All You Left Me’ until writing a review.
