At What Cost: A Pregnant High School Girl's Internal Struggle

A POWERFUL PUNCH: My reaction to the novel, At What Cost, by J. Andersen, surprised me tremendously. The book is classified as young adult, which is not my preferred type of reading. In fact, I had never even read a novel in that category, since I am far from being in the projected audience. In addition, it concerns a sixteen-year-old high school girl who finds herself pregnant.

Quotes by Clark Zlotchew  (?)

“Fiction has been maligned for centuries as being "false," "untrue," yet good fiction provides more truth about the world, about life, and even about the reader, than can be found in non-fiction.”
Clark Zlotchew

“When they reached their ship, Ed gazed out at the bay. It was black. The sky was black, but the bay was even blacker. It was a slick, oily blackness that glowed and reflected the moonlight like a black jewel. Ed saw the tiny specks of light around the edges of the bay where he knew ships must be docked, and at different points within the bay where vessels would be anchored. The lights were pale and sickly yellow when compared with the bright blue-white sparkle of the stars overhead, but the stars glinted hard as diamonds, cold as ice. Pg. 26.”
Clark Zlotchew, Once upon a Decade: Tales of the Fifties

“The piercing fanfare of the brass against the brutal boom and rattle of the drums surged through the air. At the head of the Ferris band marched the drum majorette. A crimson and white shako crowned her long dark hair which flew out behind her and across her radiant face flushed with excitement. Her blue eyes flashed and her smile registered triumph at having been chosen.”
Clark Zlotchew, Once upon a Decade: Tales of the Fifties

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”
Jorge Luis Borges

“Let others pride themselves about how many pages they have written; I'd rather boast about the ones I've read.”
Jorge Luis Borges

“You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened.”
Jorge Luis Borges

Lee Hi Clark,

Thanks for the friend invite. I am interested in Japan but do not speak the language. I would love to learn one day. I do speak Spanish though and I see you have written a few books on the subject. It's nice to meet you!

Clark Zlotchew Moscow RulesDaniel Silva never dissappoints. This suspenseful thriller involves the Russian mafia. It has murder, brutality and all anyone could want in a thriller, plus the foreign intrigue element. Most of the action takes place in Russia and France.

Clark Zlotchew The Firm A page-turner about corruption within a law firm. A great deal of suspense and intrigue, organized crime and murder.
