Rendition During Books Leave Myself Behind

Noah York is a closeted gay teenager with a foul mouth, a critical disposition, and plenty of material for his tirades. After his father dies, Noah's mother, a temperamental poet, takes a teaching job in a small New Hampshire town, far from Chicago and the only world Noah has known. While Noah gets along reasonably with his mother, the crumbling house they try to renovate quickly reveals dark secrets, via dusty Mason jars they discover interred between walls. The jars contain scraps of letters, poems, and journal entries, and eventually reconstructs a history of pain and violence that drives a sudden wedge between Noah and his mother. Fortunately, Noah finds an unexpected ally in J.D., a teenager down the street who has family troubles of his own.

Assess Regarding Books Leave Myself Behind

While much of this story was interesting, plot-wise, I found the main character to be exceedingly obnoxious. Also, the author is clearly a massive misogynist: all the women in the text seem only to serve to teach a sad lesson about "victims" and seem to be mostly 2-dimensional charicatures. Was not impressed.

Okay. This is my latest obsession. A friend sent it to me when I was complaining about my Trumble slump. (JH Trumble has ruined reading for me with her goodness.) Now I'm in a Yates slump, though I plan on moving on to his other book ASAP. It's more than a YA coming of age, though it does that extremely well. It's compelling and rich and linguistically beautiful and gives you that horrible feeling of anxiety in your stomach as you read because it feels like something terrible could happen at any



I loved this book. It was pure fate and luck that I happened upon it in my school library and decided to take it. It was hidden on a bottom shelf and with the light coloring of the cover I almost missed it. I think it was the title the cause me to grab it. Usually I'm not a big fan of the self discovery type of books but some how that day the title, Leave Myself Behind, appealed to me.One word to describe this book would be raw. It is dirty, earthy, and grounded. Curses are sprinkled in it

3.5 starsI was conflicted about this book but in the end the good was more than the bad for me. Its just I wish there werent so many things thrown into these 240 pages. I thought the characters were drawn amazingly - they leapt out of the pages and wouldve done so without the dark past revelations or the violence.

Yates' debut novel tells the story of a 17-year-old named Noah York, who moves into a small town in New Hampshire, discovers his sexuality and unravels a mystery that influences his mother's past. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot - I'm afraid I can't really say much about it here because the whole story is complex and multi-layered, so you'll just have to take my word for this (unless you decide to read it yourself). It's very captivating, though. It's one of those stories that

The life of seventeen year old Noah York is simple. He has an insane yet poetic mother, he lives in a new home where hidden mason jars hold disturbing secrets, and he is infatuated with the boy next door known as J.D. Ummm... ok... maybe it's not that simple. Noah goes through a hard moment in his life as he tries to figure out his love for D.J. and tries to hold the truth inside from his mother who is absolutely obsessed with the mason jars that lie in the walls of the new house. But lately,
