The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip

35 reviews
George Saunders

McSweeney's, 2006

Brilliant adult allegory masked as children's tale
Saunders' brilliant, hilarious adult allegory is masked as a children's tale but is really more of a profound critique of American social Darwinism and the false idea currently held by many rich and privileged that they are rich and privileged due to their own superiority, hard work, or God's election, and not to pure luck. The book is also a thoughtful, funny response to libertarian myths of ...

Ribbin', jivin', and playin' the dozens: The persistent dilemma in our schools

Herbert L Foster

Ballinger Pub. Co, 1986

Excellent book, highly recommended
Excellent book. I gained enormous insight into the challenges of teaching in inner city schools. To me, it is a must reading for teachers (new and old) in such circumstances. I am not a teacher and I also found it to be very interesting. Dr. Foster's teachings in his book are by a modification of the case method. He is not just teaching in hypothetical teams. Rather, he has had years ...

Harper Paperbacks, 2006

Changed my life and the way I interact with my child

The tools and talk tracks have really helped us work together better, and we have had a lot fewer meltdowns since I've read this book. I would recommend this book to any parent, but especially ...

Informative, enlightening
Though I do not consider myself a lesbian, I have been attracted to a butch woman before and wanted to understand the feeling better. This book helped me understand the dynamic of attraction between butch and fem. It was precisely because she was masculine that I was attracted to her, but because she was a woman there was a sameness I could relate to and identify with. It was safer in a way ...

Julian V. Roberts
