The End of Caucasia!

Okay so... you probably shouldn't read this if you havent finished the book yet! I was sick yesterday so I decided to read ahead so I wouldnt have so much homework and I ended up finishing the book. As I was reading it I couldnt wait to find out what happens next, and if Birdie was going to find her dad and Cole or not. The dad, as usual disappointed me, I think I just really didn't like her parents. I felt so bad for Birdie, I mean he hasnt seen her in 6 years and all he can talk about is his stupid book!

I was really happy when Birdie found Cole, because it seemed like she was finally with her family. Cole disappointed me a little that she didnt try harder to find Birdie, but in a way her excuses made sense. Overall I really liked the book and it was my favorite for the class.

Caucasia.


So, I just finished the reading that is due for Friday, and I really like Caucasia so far. This is the first time I've actually gotten into the book for this class, and I am happy because it is making it much easier to read. Its hard for me to even imagine what Birdie has been through in her life. I'm really close with my sister as well, and the longest I have been apart from her is five months, and I thought that was hard. Even though its very different than the situation that Birdie is in, it makes it easier for me to understand how difficult it must be for her.

Plus, the mom just makes me really mad. Half the time she treats Birdie like she is two, and the other half she acts like she is talking to someone her own age. Plus I think she should listen to Birdie about Jim. Even if she is right and he is completely safe, she is being very hypocritical. And also...does anyone know if her mom is a lesbian? Or was with Bernadette? Because I'm pretty sure she was.

So anyway, I like the book and I'm very interested to see what happens next, I'm hoping that Birdie and Cole will get to see eachother soon, but it should be interesting if they do because now Cole is 17 and Birdie is 13, and a lot has changed.

Have a wonderful day! =)
