Representaion Concering Books Yearbook (Yearbook Trilogy #1)
It was the first day of school at Lakeview High, and everyone was afraid of something. Michaela Choi was afraid that Ethan Back was never going to ask her out on a date. Andrea Beck was afraid that someone would find her weak spot, the chink in her armor. She was afraid of knowing what it was herself. Principal Downing was afraid she was going to die. Julie Reid was afraid that no one would notice her. She was also afraid that someone would. And there was a deeper, unnamed fear inside her that she couldn't escape - a fear that she was nothing and no one . . . Yearbook is a captivating story about relationships and heartaches and fears and ideas and doubts and testimonies and everything that a teenage mind and a backpack can contain. But most important, Yearbook is a novel about how everyone has something to offer and something to learn.Rating Based On Books Yearbook (Yearbook Trilogy #1)

An interesting mix. One one hand, the story was okay, the format interesting even if it did make me feel as if I was being robbed of a lot of potential plot, the chracters varied form the very good and true to life to the average teenage saint, the pacing was even good. The narrative was strong, particularly for the better developed characters. One the other hand, the dialogue was horrendous. It was sooo FAKE. No one talks like that, especially not teenagers. These two 17 year old were havignOral PresentationYearbook follows the lives of several students from Lakeview High School. Each has their own fears and struggle with their own challenges. Gaining and renewing testimonies is a consistent theme throughout. As far as Ally Condie's LDS fiction goes, I think I liked Being Sixteen better. It was a little weird with this book how you'd have a character there and then they'd just disappear for awhile. I felt like I got a deeper connection with the protagonist when she was just
AUTHOR PRESENTATION CATEGORYCondie weaves together the narratives of many different teenagers throughout one year of high school. The jock, the ice queen, the class clown, the goth, the gang's all here. While the book isn't necessarily of great consequence, it is a great first novel for Condie and a well written book. I personally connect best with narratives written in first-person, so while each character doesn't necessarily have a lot of time to talk in the book, I felt connected to them all
Earlier this year, I decided to go back and read all of Ally Condie's work. 'Yearbook' was apparently her first book. It was published by Deseret Book, so it was definitely a departure from her 'mainstream' novels. That said, I really enjoyed reading it.Sometimes the only characters in LDS novels are LDS themselves. In the case of 'Yearbook', I felt there was a very good balance of characters who were both LDS and not, though there was one person who did end up learning about the Gospel and
It is by far one of the best books I have read this month. It has not only strengthened my testimony but also my faith in the gospel of jesus christ
I find the book yearbook by Allyson condie to be very good at getting the story through the small tiny brain of mine in so many different stories, however there were areas in which the book was not quite as good at drama and suspence. The book was set from Seattle in modern time and was made for Mormon young adults. It was very interesting to have 22 chapters and have different people narrate them the whole time and for chapter 23 to just be yearbook entries for all of the narrators of the book.
