Outstanding Performance!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Well, I read this book when it was first released (1970's)and it's simply before it's time. You don't find many young adults who are "IN TUNED" with themselves. Dewey and Yvette are very advanced compared to the 'CLUELESS" teens of today. They have no cause to dropout of school and no clue to finding employment! Great Read!!! Great Book!!!
Dark teenage crushes

I Never Loved Your Mind follows Dewey who has just dropped out of high school. His first week at work he notices Yvette, who has a nice body, is a vegetarian, and steals things. Throughout the rest of the book he chases her. She seems at times to be falling in love but most of the time seems to dislike him very much because he eats meat and because of all the lifestyle and viewpoint differences. The plot sounds kind of dull, but the book is good. It has more of a mood than a plot. Things happen, but the big picture doesn't change - it just gets more detailed. The book is a little dated. Yvette is pretty much a hippie, and large parts of the story are set in her world of communes, obsessing about saving animals, and being in touch with her body. This was a good read. It's marketed for young adult, but I was fine reading it as an adult. It has a strong mood. Also, because the subject matter has lots of sex references, this probably really is young adult and not just a child's book with a bigger vocabulary. So don't give it to a really smart 7 year old.
the wonderous furious rebel.

it's a shame that more holden caulfield refugees do not happen to seek shelter in this book that often, because it is wonderful.dewey daniels is a wunderkind. cocky, handsome, the epitome of angst and with enough brains to spare, he takes it upon himself to drop out of school (which let's face it, if you really know the basics, is a waste of time) and begins working at a hospital where he meets hippie, vegetarian, lovely, ice queen yvette whom is also a dropout.and boy chases girl hijinks ensue.this book is rather dated but in a lovely way, and is really witty for a teenage marketed book.cheers.
Absolutley brilliant

This book was simply a work of genius. The characters of Dewey and Yvette were completely plausible in the era in which the book was written, and the story is excellant. Although it has to be read slowly and with a dictionary (at times), it is utterly worth it. Great for first-time readers of Paul Zindel.
Fairly insightful

This isn't a bad book, it's a good insight into a certain kind of teenage boy's mind and heart, and shows some of the problems with entering into a physical relationship lightly.
