4. 5 stars! last year, kennedy’s debut learning to swear in america utterly charmed me. it was cute, funny, and driven by a strong first person voice. add in some romance, and you’ve got a classic christina book. what goes up has all those elements but ramps up the humor and gets even more science fiction - y. pick this book up if you want an unputdownable, uproarious, action - packed delight. and, like, why wouldn’t you? unlike her debut, what goes up is in third person, but the characterization doesn

another good thing about what goes up was that its plot wasn’t that predictable. after the first hundred pages or so, the book definitely took a turn and went in a completely different direction that i don’t think anyone would have seen coming given the book description. it kept me on my toes and invested in what was going to happen next .

it has been my experience that very few books actually live up to the praise heaped up on the back cover. i mean, even when the books are awesome, they’re rarely just what that little blurb makes them out to be. however whomever wrote the one for katie kennedy’s what goes up was dead - on. it is action - packed and it is wildly funny. in fact, it’s directly responsible for keeping my child up an extra half hour past her hoped - for bedtime because we were too busy giggling at the knock - knock jokes. ros

what goes up ’s high - school milieu is a mishmash of familiar tropes and one - note characters, and a subplot involving a space - themed high - school musical (conceived and directed by a broadly mousy molly shannon) is an ill - conceived time - waster at best, and borderline offensive at worst. yet throughout, glatzer and lawson show a deep understanding of how common ideals can hold even a community of outsiders together. and what goes up has a one - of - a - kind character in coogan, a cynic with a savior complex, who lies partly out of convenience, and partly because he knows—as glatzer and lawson know—that even a messy story can still inspire .

there’s some nice filmmaking tucked inside “what goes up, ” a muddle of moods and intentions. the british comic actor steve coogan plays campbell babbitt, a flailing, depressed journalist who’s sent to new hampshire in the mid - 1980s to write an article pegged to the imminent liftoff of christa mcauliffe, the high school teacher who was part of the challenger space mission .

what goes up, by katie kennedy, tells the story of a girl named rosa hayashi and eddie toivonen as they each attempt to become one of the two people that make up a new nasa team designed to explore and find aliens. i’m not sure if the writing style is my absolute favorite, as the descriptive words are a little rare. but at the same time, those that are included are funny or metaphors i’ve never seen before, so i’m fairly impressed as far as those are concerned. i’m not someone who enjoys paragrap
katie kennedy, the author of learning to swear in america, returns with her second book, what goes up, and it does not disappoint. this fast - paced, quick - witted, and laugh - out - loud funny novel was so hard to put down that i had to force myself to put it away to get any sleep. the writing in the book was phenomenal; i’ve never really read any ya book written in the style that kate kennedy employs. it was a huge breath of fresh air and a break from what is usually seen in teen books .
lambert sends a prayer skyward, mixing southern soul and country - gospel into a stunning love song to the sun. “i still see your light” goes the refrain, beefed up with double - stacked harmonies from lambert’s acoustic guitarist, frank carter rische, and frequent jack white sidewoman lillie mae rische .

starring steve coogan and hilary duff, what goes up takes a comedic look at life, love and all the chaos in between. also starring olivia thirlby and josh peck. when a group of teenage social misfits befriends jaded journalist campbell babbitt (coogan), who' s on assignment in their small new hampshire town, they each find themselves searching for meaning and truth in their crazy, mixed - up lives. but as babbitt gets to know these eccentric kids better - - their hidden secrets begin to rise to the surface, changing each other' s lives forever .
jonathan glatzer’s directorial debut what goes up is a quirky - small - town dramedy that just barely avoids the “overly cutesy” and “self - indulgently melancholy” traps that snare so many indies. the movie teeters on the brink of disaster, and sometimes it flat - out stumbles, but while it’s often as amateurish as it is assured, glatzer and writer robert lawson want to convey so much that the sheer breadth of the movie means they hit a few of their targets .
that’s a lot of background for what goes up to wheel into place, especially since its actual plot isn’t overly concerned with the phony articles, the dead friend, or the doomed teacher. it’s mainly about a group of misfit teenagers (played by such familiar faces as hilary duff, olivia thirlby, and josh peck) who had a close relationship with coogan’s old buddy, and are now looking to coogan to fill that same guru / confidante / crush role .

i really enjoyed katie kennedy' s first book and i loved this one as well. at first, what goes up felt like a crazy, intergalactic charlie and the chocolate factory, with a group of teens competing for spots on the interworlds agency, a division of nasa that deals with the exploration of parallel universes with intelligent life. the competition was fierce, filled with psychological tests and intelligence tests and logic tests and stress tests. i loved that part. then, just as the testing is windin

when foster stepped out, he knew, perhaps for the first time in his life, what he wanted to do: fly. but not just fly. what had captured his imagination was the particular freedom of the helicopter’s flight. more than the speed, he marveled at the agility. a helicopter, foster saw, moved with willful precision—flying forward, sideways, backward, straight up, straight down, able to hover or speed off in any direction, like a hummingbird .
a loose, lanky look at the magnetism of dangerous dudes, with a less - than - perfect vocal take – “what’s the intro? ” lambert asks during the first 15 seconds, cutting off the band before revving up the song’s engines once again – that makes this “bad boy” feel infinitely more human .

review: i received this book from bloomsbury publishing in exchange for an honest review. i absolutely loved katie kennedy' s first book learning to swear in america when i read it last year. definitely one of my favorite young adult books of the year, i still recommend it to people. so of course i jumped and begged for the chance to read kennedy' s newest book what goes up. and while i didn' t love it as much as her first book, it was still and fun and fast read that' s perfect for easy summer days .

he already knew what it was like to save someone. he’d been the lead pilot for a recently formed search - and - rescue squad. but it was different when you got there too late. foster resolved to do better next time. he would have to fly faster, risk more, take greater chances—whatever it took to save the next child. because that’s what you’re supposed to do .

i want to hang out with katie kennedy' s characters. they' re unapologetically smart, but never obnoxiously arrogant; they' re vulnerable and believable; they' re funny. it' s not easy to strike a good balance between sf, coming - of - age themes and comedy, but this book does it. even when the plot gets fast - paced and action - packed and concept - driven, there are always meaningful personal stakes. the book' s cool concept (testing to explore the multiverse !) made it a page turner from the beginning, because i was dying to see how the author would pull it off. i wasn' t disappointed. the multiverse - travel science was invented, of course, but it was more detailed than the standard light sf hand - waving. the tests, especially the psychological ones, were fiendishly clever. it was the characters, though, who really sold me on what goes up. kennedy has a forthright, funny way of dealing with subjects that we more typically see in issue - driven ya than in sf adventures, such as social class and poverty (in eddie' s case) and menstruation. the whole scene where rosa recruits the guys to accompany her on a trip to buy
accessories for her lady parts
is refreshing — and hilarious. so, yeah. if you like your beach books brainy, what goes up fully satisfies .
eddie has nothing to lose. after he wins his place in nasa' s interworlds agency, he can lose everything. i like this book because of it' s tension, climax, and the problems it brings up. the only problem was that in the beginning two characters' perspectives were being told at once, so it could be confusing what one was thinking about the other. an awesome sci - fi read !

ernie s uncle gabriel has just died but to claim his inheritance he must spend the night in the ancestral family home with the rest of his rather eccentric relatives. ernie s imagination has been affected by his constant immersion in cheap horror novels, but his wildest fears turn out to be justified when the guests begin to drop dead. starring carry on stalwarts and all round british comedy legends kenneth connor and sid james, what a carve up! is classic british humour at its very best .
“i fucked anything that moved in those days, ” he says. everyone wanted to ride with foster. imagine being able to take your date to a movie and then ascend into an aerial view of the nighttime city? foster would sometimes fly women up to a spot in the mcdowell mountains where a big flat prominence served as a landing pad and the wind had worn a cavern into the rock. he called it his rock condo. he stored sleeping bags and a mattress up there, sometimes spending the night, staying up late to survey his protectorate of central arizona with a 120 - mile view to the horizon .

not my fave. however, my 14 y. o. daughter fond it entertaining, so i' ll chalk it up to the fact that i' m not in the age group of the intended audience. what it has going for it: modest representation of diverse characters. good amount of science and math incorporated into an adventure story. mild romance. themes of friendship and overcoming adversity. what made it lame (for me): it pales by comparison to other stories that developed similar concepts. it lacks the intensity, complexity, and moral issues of ender' s game. it lacks the convincing physicality of divergent. the comic bits fall a bit flat, far short of the repartee of jk rowling' s characters. the plot overall is pretty thin. so, overall rating = meh .
no one really paid attention when foster arranged to take a spare camera up with him in the pollywog. his traffic broadcasts had been audio only, but foster understood that tv was a visual medium, and he wanted to bring back footage that could go on the air. it wasn’t easy to operate the wind - up bolex camera while flying a helicopter, but after a few tries foster got results that lane could use for regular broadcasts .

texas songwriter shake russell first recorded this rowdy kiss - off in 1996, aiming its lyrics at an unnamed ex who broke his heart. two decades later, lambert reclaims it as her own divorce song, dressing up the tune with telecaster twang and coed harmonies .

moreover, alien fans have been here before, specifically when 20th century fox moved to kill off newt, the little girl star of james cameron’s aliens, at the beginning of david fincher’s disappointing alien 3. perhaps scott didn’t want a similar fan revolt, so it now appears we will at least get to see what happened to shaw, albeit most likely via some kind of flashback .
lambert channels lone star statesmen like guy clark and jerry jeff walker, offering up a convincing combo of texas twang, cowgirl wisdom and top - notch internal rhyme (example: “i’m against the notion of drinking witchy potions and causing big commotion, you know, son? ”) .
now in charge of training pilots, foster found what so many teachers discover—that being an instructor is a great way to learn. as he came to know the machine more intimately, he learned that being an extraordinary helicopter pilot meant ricocheting from one hair - trigger decision to the next. and he was also learning that he had an instinct for it. foster was a split - second savant .
that first lesson in avoiding a crash landing vividly illustrated why airplane pilots talked about the sleek beauty of their crafts while helicopter pilots described theirs as “10, 000 spare parts flying in close formation”—a gallows - humor euphemism for the grim reality that helos crashed a lot, often killing everybody on board. the danger lies in the helicopter’s basic aerodynamics. they are absolutely terrifying. when the big blades start to spin, newton’s third law of motion dictates that the entire body of the helicopter spins—and just as fast—in the other direction. that small rotor blade positioned vertically on the tail? its entire purpose is to push back just as fiercely against the body’s natural tendency to spin in counter - sync with the blades. and if the back rotor goes out? the body spins madly to the ground. a helicopter is a fragile balance of such counterforces, and when any simple thing goes awry, highest on the list of possible outcomes is a screaming, flaming death .
i went into this book wary because i love speculative fiction and this sounded like the type of book i might enjoy, but it also had a so - so rating. i' ve learned in the past to not be too hyped up for a book that has a synopsis that somehow meets a bunch of my requirements for a good book. tip: always read at least the first page or chapter before giving up on a book simply because of the rating. i' m so glad i picked this up and the only reason it took me so long to finish was because i was reading other books at the same time. this was a funny (i was really surprised with how much i laughed at some of the cheesy and lame jokes), interesting, heart - warming, and unique read. i loved all of the characters and the omniscient feel that the third person narrative offered. with books like this one, i' m happy to be able to see how everyone is affected during the story. i loved the twists and turns and that the book had more than one moment of conflict. the main conflict comes on the heels of a minor conflict' s resolution, so it felt like this was a nonstop ride of adventure and mystery. everything flowed so well off each other and i found myself second - guessing what was happening a lot because the people in this book always have some sort of trick up their sleeve. if kennedy writes another book in this universe, i hope she follows the perspectives of some of the other characters introduced. i love this whole concept of what could be and how we differ between us and our multi - dimensional counterparts. i' m a sucker for books that feature characters getting ready to go on a mission, so this sated that hunger for adventure and the speculative side of multi - dimensional travel was like the icing on the metaphorical cake. happy reading !
the public, with large numbers of students, began joining the monks in their demonstrations. yet history repeated itself: as with the 1988 uprising that the military forcefully crushed, this rebellion too was put down with the utmost brutality. while several of his colleagues were caught and face life imprisonment, joshua survived to continue to dedicate his life to showing what' s really going on in his country .
one day, foster got a message from his uncle phill, the gold miner who had spent all those years with little but his faith in his dark - horse hunches. his doctor had performed some tests, and phill sent them to foster with the request that he look at them and tell phill what they meant. phill was living in battle mountain, nevada, still rich from his prospecting days and still living in his little camper. for foster, phill was the closest thing to a father he’d ever known, and so he packed up his stuff and headed to nevada to tell phill that he had colon cancer. the prognosis was bad. he didn’t have long to live .
instead he asked them to take a first hand account of the ground situation before taking a call on availing of the new opportunities in the fast developing it city in lucknow or in potentially rich industrial pockets slated to come up along the rapidly growing infrastructure projects across other parts of the state .
jerry foster never knew his dad, never even knew his name. all he’d ever know was that his nickname was swifty and that he rode a motorcycle. swifty had knocked up foster’s mother, norma, when she was 14 and soon rode off on his bike, abandoning his young son .
far be it for me to complain about a film - maker giving the public what they want, but the entire process smacks of the kind of reactive film - making that caused fan - inspired movies such as samuel l jackson’s snakes on a plane to be such a mess. this is ridley scott, director of alien and blade runner. apparently changing his movie every five minutes because someone on the internet complained .
the whole process began in early fall, when carlos rosado, a visual - arts teacher, designed the curved, undulating set and a construction crew began sawing and hammering. one student came up with a plan for a secret passage in the set, which is operated by pulling on a lighting sconce .
what makes a hero? january, 1986. campbell babbitt is a reporter for the new york world, writing a series on a woman who turned the grief of losing a son into civic acts. he falls in love with her, and when she commits suicide, he continues to write made - up stories about her. his editor sends him to new hampshire to cover the challenger flight from the town of teacher christa mcauliffe. the launch is postponed for a few days, giving campbell time to get to know a group of misfit students whose own teacher killed himself the day campbell arrives in town. he pieces the story together that led to the suicide, finds himself attracted to a student, and has to sort out his own loss .
foster was a bachelor again, just at the moment he was becoming a celebrity. every program director in arizona now realized that a station without a helicopter wasn’t even trying to compete for ratings. across town at channel 12 the news director was a fresh face named al buch who pronounced his name “buck” and was often the tallest man in the room. buch had a bigger vision for what a talented helicopter pilot might do with news .
the friendly competition became so unfriendly that the rival news directors had to have a sit - down, like mob bosses dividing territory, and thereafter the rivalry became a little more playful. being the more balletic pilot, foster might inch his way into position when key was broadcasting live and simply rise up directly into her shot .
foster packed up his camper and drove. he eventually got to his uncle phill’s place, where they lived the bachelor life for a while—eating chef boyardee spaghetti from the can and catching up on lots of television. phill was as eccentric as ever. he’d bought a house but still lived in his trailer. he’d bought a boat even though there wasn’t any water in which to put it for miles and miles. but for foster, the road was his antidote to years of flight. he took a job as a driver of 18 - wheelers and spent nearly all of his waking hours in the seat of his semi. for years, he just drove .
the third song in a row to feature co - writing help from aaron raitiere, “tomboy” plays up the connection between lambert and her two backup singers: gwen sebastian and madi diaz. the three women coo, croon and pile their voices into harmonized triads, turning “tomboy” into, ironically enough, one of the album’s most feminine moments .
it was a cool winter tuesday at gilbert elementary school in 1988, and several hundred grade - school kids were gathered in the school yard. the children had painstakingly arranged themselves into groups holding up red, white, and blue cards to form a human american flag. all this to greet the state’s flying cowboy during the school’s flag day celebration .
amul dairy managing director r s sodhi narrated how a single meeting with ranjan overnight resolved many issues that were hanging fire for months. consequently, up’s first amul unit was already in place and had in its early months already procured milk worth rs 700 crore, that was likely to get raised to rs 3, 000 crores over the next one year .
this idea of doing traffic reports for television was shaping up to be a fiasco. but foster wanted this job. dianna was pregnant, and he needed stability. foster’s daring solution was to soar in altitude just before broadcast time, then disengage the engine (the way you might put a car in neutral) and watch the pollywog go into a glide, an arcing fall that gave him about 30 seconds of silence to voice his traffic report—while hurtling toward earth! —before re - engaging the engine and pulling up at the last second. more than once he misjudged the length of his report, and as he was about to slam into the roofs of speeding cars he’d suddenly cry out, “this is jerry foster, gotta go! ”
he helped pack up their clothes and toys so that they could go away and be raised by another man. he was struck by the confounding emotions on his girls’ faces, confused children feeling like their father had abandoned them. foster spent the weekend mostly drunk, struggling to identify the crippling sensation that engulfed him, only to consider that maybe it was déjà vu .
for the record, here are the various permutations the film has gone through since it was first mentioned by scott in march 2012. back then, we thought we were getting a direct sequel to prometheus, perhaps with screenwriter damon lindelof being duct - taped to a typewriter and forced to explain away some of the original movie’s gaping, incomprehensible plot holes. later that year, lindelof conveniently stepped aside, after admitting the sequel might “benefit from a fresh voice or a fresh take or a fresh thought” (perhaps in the same way that lost really ought to have brought someone in after season three to explain what the fricking smoke monsters were up to and why those darned numbers were so important). but not before telling us that any sequel was likely to shift even further away from the alien movies to which prometheus had at one point been intended as a prequel - of - sorts .
action - packed and wildly funny, this near - future sci - fi features three teens on an inter - dimensional mission to save the world. rosa and eddie are among hundreds of teens applying to nasa’s mysterious multi - world agency. after rounds of crazy - competitive testing they are appointed to team 3, along with an alternate, just in case eddie screws up (as everyone expects he will )
gayle zeitlin, assistant principal for communication arts and coordinator for the theater program, said that because the productions are open to all students, tech and crew allows teenagers from all walks of life and all levels of study to work together — a rare occasion to break free from high school cliques. a student in an english honors class recently took sound design and wound up helping a fellow student with his english homework .
which explains why the army was looking for instructors to train huey pilots at fort wolters in texas. with the help of a few moments of discreet silence about his ill - fated military past, he not only got the job but was thrilled to learn that he would now get paid just to fly around in his favorite toy. things were looking up. more pennies from heaven, as foster himself had started to say .
action - packed and wildly funny, this near - future sci - fi features three teens on an inter - dimensional mission to save the world. rosa and eddie are among hundreds of teens applying to nasa’s mysterious multi - world agency. after rounds of crazy - competitive testing they are appointed to team 3, along with an alternate, just in case eddie screws up (as everyone expects he will). what they don’t expect is that aliens will arrive from another dimension, and look just like us. and no one could even imagine that team 3 would be the only hope of saving our world from their earth - destroying plans. the teens steal the spacecraft (it would be great if they knew how to fly it) and head to earth2, where the aliens’ world and people are just like ours. with a few notable exceptions. there, the teens will find more than their alternate selves: they' ll face existential questions and high - stakes adventure, with comedy that' s out of this world.
