About More Than Words Inc. Massachusetts, United States
Biblio member since 2016
More Than Words empowers youth who are in foster care, court-involved, homeless or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. MTW believes that when system-involved youth are challenged with authentic and increasing responsibilities in a business setting, and are given high expectations and a culture of support, they can and will address personal barriers to success, create concrete action plans for their lives, and become contributing members of society. More Than Words began as an online bookselling training program for youth in DCF custody in 2004 and opened its vibrant bookstore on Moody St in Waltham in 2005 and added its Starbucks coffee bar in 2008. MTW replicated its model in the South End of Boston in 2011, thereby doubling the number of youth served annually.

Reader reviews for Recursion: A Novel
Review summary
Readers praised Recursion for its high?concept, memory?driven take on time travel and its propulsive pacing. Many found the complexity manageable and the book highly readable, while others said the latter sections become repetitive and punishingly grim. The writing and structure were often described as cinematic, with clear, digestible science, but dialogue and characterization drew frequent criticism, and the central romance felt underdeveloped. Opinions split on the ending—some viewed it as powerful, others as a cop?out—and on how it compares to Dark Matter. Overall, it’s seen as an engaging, idea?first thriller whose science stretches plausibility but whose reflections on memory, loss, and choice resonate.
