Historia
This deliciously sharp novel captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and potential, talent and privilege. Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies.

For the murfs.
The book is very timely: covered murf anxieties. Bourgeois parents worry that kids are getting crunched between affirmative action & legacies for limited spots at elite academic institutions. The author was attuned to why we are all pushing our kids way too hard with extracurriculars & academic success—and why it appears that we are so competitive with other families. It’s horrible. I try to explain it to Europeans & Aussies, but they can’t even comprehend it.
We all view childhood as a zero sum game instead of a community for betterment and growth.
Surprised this was written by a dude.
I loved it and you will definitely get through it super fast, because it is a fun novel. At times, maybe slightly corny. But the characters were well-developed and I liked the author’s wide-breadth of general knowledge. And I liked just how pertinent the storyline to current affairs.

Historia
The human body is largely electro-chemical, and by interfering with certain frequencies scientists can alter how the human body will react. This interference can be used for positive aspects, such as meditation and relaxation, but they can also be exploited for more nefarious purposes, such as creating stress, confusion, and the sensation of psychosis or schizophrenia in a targeted individual.

I thought this book might be about sonic weapons, similar to what is being used in Cuba at the moment. When I chose the book, I noted that Amazon then suggested various Russian books. I assumed I must be on the right track if Russians are purchasing this book, since we all know the Russians want ‘merica outta Cuba. Horse manure! This is the worst bunch of malarkey I have ever taken the 30 minutes of my life to listen to!!! Terrible. Sounds like someone recorded bizarre conspiracy theories in a garage in the Pacific Northwest. Someone who doesn’t get out of the house very often (except on their daily outing to Starbucks to chat with other men in their 60s about conspiracies). I want my 30 minutes back!!!!! No stars.
