Relation During Books Someone to Run With

The story of a lost dog, and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem are portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling. When awkward and painfully shy sixteen-year-old Assaf is asked to find the owner of a stray yellow lab, he begins a quest that will bring him into contact with street kids and criminals, and a talented young singer, Tamar, engaged on her own mission: to rescue a teenage drug addict. A runaway bestseller in Israel, in the words of the Christian Science Monitor: "It's time for Americans to fall in love with Someone to Run With."

Crit Based On Books Someone to Run With

Assaf is given what seems to be a straightforward task during his internship at the City Hall; to find the owner of a stray dog and give them a fine for allowing the dog to be loose. As the dog drags Assaf all over town, he meets different people who know the dog's owner and begins to get a picture of her (Tamar). Tamar, meanwhile, is on a planned mission to save someone she loves. Despite the dog's speed, and the number of people encountered, I found Someone to Run With a bit slow. But the

Wow what a good story. I really liked this book, 4.5 stars. This is a story about two Israeli teenagers. Assaf's story begins when his boss, a civil servant, sends him out of the office with a stray dog to try to locate the dog's owner. Assaf is a shy teenage boy who is doing an internship in City Hall. A teenage girl named Tamar's story begins four weeks earlier. The dog is Tamar's, and before the two timelines converge Assaf, led by the dog, learns a lot about Tamar. Finding Tamar becomes more

Sweet story about the power of connections between people. I read it in English and the translation is well written and flows smoothly. Many interesting characters vivaciously portrayed although on occasion a bit cartoonish.

Holy crap I love this book. Set in Jerusalem Israel in the late '90s [ish] Assaf is home alone for a while while his parents visit his sister in America. He gets hooked into the mystery of the story when he meets a stray yellow Labrador retriever. At the same time, on the other side of the city, Tamar is singing for her life on the streets of Jerusalem, trying to rescue her drug addicted friend from the seedy and seething underworld of Jerusalem. I have re-read this book multiple times. It

Tamar, a spunky 16 old girl, is trying to find her brother Shai who has disappeared. Shai is a talented guitarist, but has an heroin addiction. Unbeknownst to her parents, Tamar devices a plan to rescue her brother out of the hands of his dealer. This sounds pretty straight forward, but Grossman does not tell the story of Tamar and Shai in a linear fashion. Instead the character of Assaf becomes our conduit to the life of Tamar. Assaf, an 18 year old, working a summer job at the Jerusalem City

When I was living in Buenos Aires years ago I used to spend a lot of time in all the bookstores that you can find throughout Cabildo Avenue. I was totally fascinated by them because you wouldnt find so many interesting and rare books back in my country (I was born and raised in Paraguay). I started in the world of literature reading all the books that I found in my fathers bookshelves. Some books were gold for a young boy, but must of them were cheap books, ancient books or merely bad literature

Couldn't really get into it. Maybe I'm missing something?We read this in book club and everyone at the meeting gave it one out of two thumbs. We all felt like it took a long time to get to any understanding & we didn't really care for either Assaf or Tamar. (I hate saying this, but I think the movie told the story better.)
