Chronicle As Books Love Is the Higher Law

First there is a Before, and then there is an After. . . .

The lives of three teens—Claire, Jasper, and Peter—are altered forever on September 11, 2001. Claire, a high school junior, has to get to her younger brother in his classroom. Jasper, a college sophomore from Brooklyn, wakes to his parents’ frantic calls from Korea, wondering if he’s okay. Peter, a classmate of Claire’s, has to make his way back to school as everything happens around him.

Here are three teens whose intertwining lives are reshaped by this catastrophic event. As each gets to know the other, their moments become wound around each other’s in a way that leads to new understandings, new friendships, and new levels of awareness for the world around them and the people close by.

David Levithan has written a novel of loss and grief, but also one of hope and redemption as his characters slowly learn to move forward in their lives, despite being changed forever.

Commentary Out Of Books Love Is the Higher Law

I dont normally post a 9/11 related blog post on my blog, just because theres nothing I can say that hasnt already been said. And even if I could say it differently, theres nothing I can say that would change the events of that day.But I read a book this year that changed my mind. Its called LOVE IS THE HIGHER LAW, by David Levithan. In the interests of full disclosure, I should mention that I both know and like David -- hes editor Mixtape and we work together on SHIVER. I should also mention,

When it comes to Love Is the Higher Law, I hardly know where to begin. Or, perhaps, when. September 11, 2001 is a date ingrained in the memory of every person, regardless of whether or not they are American. And yet, for us Americans, this date is so much more. Within the pages of this novel, David Levithan not only captures the horror, the fear, the utter astonishment that an event like 9/11 could have on a nation, but he also manages to convey the hope, the beauty, and the love that emerged

To be honest, I was not entirely impressed with this book. I wanted to like it, but I couldn't. I love David Levithan, and I love his style of writing and storylines, but this one was weak and under developed.Love is the Higher Law focuses on the events of 9/11 and the aftermath of the city of New York and how people (namely three teenagers) reacted and moved on. The chapters alternate between each of the three characters, which I always love, but unfortunately in this book it just didn't work

During the 9/11 attack, my mind or the whole of me was still innocent of the real world. All I really want is to play w/ my friends. I'm pretty sure I don't even know there such a place called NewYork. By the first time I've learned/heard of the attack, which was during my high school days, several years have gone already. And 9/11 seems to be just a terrible part of the past like the world wars. I didn't really give much thought or showed much concern about it for 3 reasons: 1.) I don't live in

This was a great book.I bought it just because it was written by David Levithan. I knew absolutely nothing about it going in or even when I bought it. The edition I have didn't have a synopsis so I picked it up because of the cover and because of the author. If I had really paid attention to the cover I would've been able to put it together that this was a 9/11 book, but I didn't. I had NO CLUE. And I'm really happy that I went into it not knowing because I'm not sure I would've picked it up if

This is a difficult book to rate with stars. I liked so many things about it; how one of the most traumatic events of this generation was explored, and yet the book was not dramatic itself, how through three teens' perspectives the profound effects of 9/11 were pondered and reflected upon, and the relationships that formed between the characters themselves. The only change I would have made was making the book more about the characters - their voices were authentic, and filled with wisdom people

Following three teenagers during the events of 9/11 and its aftermath, "Love is the Higher Law" is Levithan at his best. I have sometimes found his more fantastical world-building in his other novels too distracting from the story - but this book succeeds on all levels. It seems a bit trite to say it comes from the heart, but the detail of the day and the feelings involved are passionate and real. Sometimes the teenagers may seem a little older than they actually are, but they know themselves
