Ilustration In Favor Of Books Nothing

When Pierre-Anthon realizes there is no meaning to life, the seventh-grader leaves his classroom, climbs a tree, and stays there. His classmates cannot make him come down, not even by pelting him with rocks. So to prove to Pierre-Anthon that life has meaning, the children decide to give up things of importance. The pile starts with the superficial—a fishing rod, a new pair of shoes. But as the sacrifices become more extreme, the students grow increasingly desperate to get Pierre-Anthon down, to justify their belief in meaning. Sure to prompt intense thought and discussion, Nothing—already a treasured work overseas—is not to be missed.

Comment On Containing Books Nothing

That there is no point in the end IS the whole point. Thats why I love it

Most of the time I was dying for this twisted book to end, and the other parts were when I was eerily fascinated by the utter creepiness that was going on in the last half of the book... Anyways, the review:Nothing is about a group of 7th grade kids, trying to prove that there is meaning in life. One of their ex-classmates has challenged this view, and they're desperate to prove him wrong. As the story goes on, each in turn forces another to give up "something" that means a lot to them. As this



Ann purchased this book for the library based on very good reviews by Kirkus, Voya, and SLJ (I think). It was often compared favorably to Lord of the Flies. I didn't like it and think it's overrated. There are books I've read, haven't liked, and yet still felt it was worthy of discussion but this isn't one. A class of Danish 7th graders are motivated to create a "heap of meaning" when one student leaves school after announcing life has no meaning and goes and sits in a plum tree. Every day the

"You'll find out you're a clown in a trivial circus where everyone tries to convince each other how vital it is to have a certain look one year and another the next. And then you'll find out that fame and the big wide world are outside of you, and that inside there's nothing, and always will be, no matter what you do." I have been saving this book for years. It's one of those books that had enough glowing reviews and literary accolades to make me almost certain I would like it. Not only that,

Bleh. Reading Nothing is like watching a train wreck you know is coming. You know it's going to be depressing as hell, but just you can't look away. I will not deny that the prose--as well as the translation--is excellent. The novel was immensely readable and despite all my insides cringing I had to know what happened next. What I simply don't buy is the execution. I know this is supposed to be an allegorical novel and that all circumstances are contrived. I should not expect heroes. But really,

When picking up Nothing, a reader needs to be prepared to suspend their disbelief an extraordinary amount for what is meant to be a realistic, contemporary story. A young (13-14) boy decides that nothing means anything, so he decides to spend his days in a tree yelling what are, in translation, irritating slogans about how nothing means anything. His parents and teachers? Apparently content to let him stay throughout the winter. His classmates? Actually deeply bothered by him, instead of finding
