It's been a while since I found a book that can truly be called genderless (in that it has wide appeal across the board). That's sort of how I approach The Strange Case of Origami Yoda. If the book is strong, the premise believable, and the characters well developed then you're gonna have fans of all sorts, regardless of gender. Boys read Babymouse all the time and girls dig Diary of a Wimpy Kid. "Oh, boys won't read anything with a pink cover." "Oh, girls won't pick up a book unless there's some romance in it." Phooey. You see these stereotypes referred to all the time. By which I mean, the novel that perfectly balances out the stereotypical vision of what boys like in a book versus what stereotypical girls like in a book. Let us now sit back and consider what the ultimate boy/girl middle grade novel would contain.

A contemporary of Ron Kauk and John Bachar, but completely ostracized for hanging on his home made SLCD’s to work moves or sections of the hard 5.12s. The first “hangdogger” we meet is Ray Jardine in the Valley. Seriously, it’s a wonder some of them could still climb with the weight of their huge brass balls.

We touch on the classic locations like Yosemite Valley and the Stonemasters, Joshua Tree before the yuppies invaded, and Smith Rock with the legendary Alan Watts from it’s infancy to it’s ultimate crowning achievement, but we also make stops in Colorado, Seattle, and even the Gunks.

Paths of Glory is a must watch for Kubrick fans, especially genre fans, and this is well paced affair, that is never dull, tedious or too long. Stanley Kubrick was a great filmmaker, and with Paths of Glory he delivers a classic that works very well because the story is simple, but it discusses an important issue, and that's usually what makes for a truly memorable and engrossing film to watch.
