He is indelibly a part of mountaineering history and literature. He became rich from royalties, and his name will be forever associated with the peak he climbed but once. The author was thrust into a position as the leading authority on the subject, and everyone was moved by his book and lectures. Climbers and non-climbers alike debated the ethics and propriety of guided mountaineering. Soon everybody was talking about the famed expedition. The lectures seemed to go on forever, the media loved it and the multitude of related books became a publisher’s dream come true. Soon everyone wanted to see and hear the author in person. And then a sensational magazine article of the ascent led to a best-selling book. It came as a surprise to the nation that climbers were risking their lives and the lives of their guides while spending great sums of money to climb this peak. The peak had first been climbed a half century before and the public knew only the names of the first two men to climb it. It started with what was supposed to be a routine guided ascent of the highest peak trod by man. Climbing mania like this had never happened before. You already know the names of the mountain and the climbers.

REALLY I'M NOT KIDDING! This annoyed me a lot could have we maybe had a realistic heroine? As for the hero, one moment he's such a prude, at other moments he's totally a bad boy. According to this book, being bipolar gives you nerves of steal, helps you be super-sexy and outgoing, and is just a blast!And of course our heroine doesn't have to take medicine if she doesn't feel like it. What's more, I never knew being bipolar was so much fun! The heroine, in theory, is bipolar - but that's just one of a long list of diagnosis. This should not be a YA book, because while YA often does mean books for young adults, it also means books for twelve-year olds! And older readers could use some warning there are some very gory scenes in this book that made my stomach turn (I have to say the goriest I've read in a YA and in most adult books!), lots of casual sex, a mother who, if she isn't a hooker, just sleeps with everyone (and kills people). In fact, I'd label it OLDER teens and adults only. I've read hundreds of novels (literally) and very few have grabbed me like Bleeding Violet.īut the thing about this book is, it's fiction. Considering that I read most of it today, when there were a lot of other things I should have been doing, I'll say it was a VERY engrossing read.

Then I realized I have his book, The One and Only Shrek (which I have yet to read! Yikes!). When I held the book in my hand, I thought that the name William Steig sounded familiar.

Contrary to Paul’s implication, youths don’t rashly advance to the physical transition stage. This initial assessment and affirmation phase is protracted - so much so that some youths initiate the process of socially transitioning, whereby they begin presenting in society as their correct gender, with new pronouns, clothing, and the like). Typically, an entire team of psychological evaluators, pediatricians, and endocrinologists weigh in to determine if the youth has “persistent, well-documented gender dysphoria” before proceeding with any treatments. Youths do not make their own gender-affirming decisions ad hoc, as Paul claims, after “read on the internet about something about transsexuals.”īefore a doctor prescribes some kind of physical intervention, standards of care established by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health require a gender-questioning youth to undergo comprehensive psychological evaluation and counseling.
