Aieie Brazorf loskafrodcd3 — My friend, who does does therapy work with her canine companion, Teddy, loaned me this book. Jon Katz has more than several books about dogs, this one being about a rescued Border Collie named Izzy and his acquisition of a puppy, Lenore, a Labrador Retriever. I'm amazed at how calm Teddy, an Australian Shepard, is and how well he took to doing therapy work and visition. Katz' Izzy is equally amazing as Izzy's breed is not necessarily a calm one either and seemed to instinctively know what to do. My friend also has said what Katz inferred as well...when the dog is done, he'll let you know. I was amused by Katz' Bedlam Farm, the goats and donkeys and especially his 2500 pound bull, Elvis.

Giulia La giulialapodcbf — Let me just say it, I hate memoirs. I really truly do. I have read enough stories about how someone painted themselves green for a year and journaled about it, I have worked my way through stories about abusive families and drunken childhoods, I have found no interest in true tales of cooking one’s way through divorce. Overall, I am not the memoir type. It is for this reason that I have NO idea why I requested to read this book. When it arrived on my doorstep I took one look at it and thought “damn. another whiny memoir about a sucky childhood”. But let me say this: I WAS SO WRONG! Sure Jeanne Darst had an alcoholic mother, a distant father, and distraught siblings but her spin on her personal history is perfection. There is no whining, no complaining, and some actual levity. I haven’t laughed this much since “Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea” (and we all know how much I loved that book). My only complaint is that no one told me this was funny, so I was the most shocked when I started hysterically laughing on the subway. All I could do was lift up the book to my fellow passengers as a gesture of apology and endorsement. Jeanne Darst is moved from her loving household with her parents, siblings, and grandmother in St. Louis, Missouri to the bustling city of New York. Everyone is unsure if this midwest family can make the transition to the city that never sleeps. Fotunately, or unfortunately, they fit right in. Darst’s father is a starving novelist who has never actually written a published book but has great ambitions and knows that his break is just around the corner. Darst’s mother is an alcoholic raised with an in-house horse trainer only to be shackled to four kids and a dreamer husband in her adulthood. To say that she is resentful is a grave understatement. Jeanne chronicles her father’s revolving door of jobs, her mother’s attempt at the workforce and the inevitable disintegration of their familial relationships. While the goal of most parents is to inspire their children to follow their dreams, Jeanne’s family history pushes her away from her ambitions of being a writer. In order to find herself, she must first follow in the footsteps of her parents and recover from their wrongdoings. I know this sounds heavy...and it is. BUT it is also hilarious! Darst has a fantastic wit, an excellent handle on sarcasm, and an eye for the ridiculous. She clearly loves her family but she sees its flaws and isn’t afraid to reveal them to the world. Additionally, she is open about herself and her character flaws. In this way, she reminds me a great deal of Chelsea Handler who is able to poke fun at the one she loves but also at herself. However, unlike Handler, Darst is introspective and understands the reasoning behind her actions. I want to give this five stars, but I felt that it did lag towards the end and regress into some navel-gazing. Still, I think just about everyone would benefit from reading this book! www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com

Justin Matheson-turner jm8883a2c06 — A very very guilty pleasure. The writing is not particularily good, and the characters are pretty predictable, but there is something quite enjoyable about it. It is much better than the film (but that wouldn't be hard!)

Jonathan Royer jonathanroyer — Kind of cute, kind of lame.

Michael Barter mikebarter — This book scared the heck out of me from joining my parent's church in Washington, DC. So..it took me almost 20 years to get the courage to join a church and I did last year at Abyssinian Baptist Church. I was not even raised Baptist but Methodist .. however, I do not see much of a difference. Great read!
