Many of the most memorable lines from the Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory musical-movie, starring Gene Wilder, came from this book. And in their madcap escape, which also happens to be an international incident of the utmost absurdity (you’ll LOVE the President of the US), they also have to help a space capsule full of housekeepers, waitresses, and bell hops escape a rampaging swarm of Vermicious Knids.īut the story isn’t even half over then… for once they smash down in the Wonka Works, Charlie and his family have another crisis on their hands: for two of Wonka’s magical confections - Wonka-Vite, which makes you younger, and Vita-Wonk, which makes you older - lead the Bucket family on a scary and hilarious adventure to Minusland and back. Something has gotten there before them - a thousand somethings from far away in outerspace - about the nastiest somethings you could ask for.

The book has received many reviews and, the year after its initial publication, it won both the 1983 National Book Award for Nonfiction, in Science (Hardcover), and the 1983 Science Writing Award. Considered very popular for a science book, the biography sold tens of thousands of copies of both paperback and hardcover versions in its first year. Pais later released a sequel to the book in 1994 titled Einstein Lived Here and, after his death in 2000, the University Press released a posthumous reprint of the biography in 2005, with a new foreword by Roger Penrose. Originally published in English in the United States and the United Kingdom, the book has translations in over a dozen languages. Pais, renowned for his work in theoretical particle physics, was a friend of Einstein's at the Institute for Advanced Study in his early career. This was not the first popular biography of Einstein, but it was the first to focus on his scientific research as opposed to his life as a popular figure. First published in 1982 by Oxford University Press, the book is one of the most acclaimed biographies of the scientist.

It was not a terribly original way to transition, but it was a good device to help us see what it was like growing up for both Regan and Luna. The way the novel’s narrative is set up, with present day happenings in regular print, flashbacks in italics, reads like cliché movie intros- you could almost see the blurry lines. They end up sounding disingenuous and unbelievable. Perhaps to make it less susceptible for banning, virtually no profanity is used in this novel which I feel is in direct contradiction to the characters we get to know. I felt the dialogue was often unrealistic, especially as it pertained to the characters. Though this is an extremely important subject, and one that should be represented in the YA literary canon, I don’t think this was the best that Peters could do. However, I felt this book was primarily nominated for its controversial and unique subject matter: gender identity. I’m not sure why- maybe just the official sounding capacity of it. When I hear Nation Book Award Finalist, my expectations are often higher than with most awards.
