Kure Munoz _ure_ — October bookclub

Sofia Villarreal svillarreals — I started to read this book, having read bad reviews from people I trust, determined to keep an open mind. I mean, after all, isn't literary craft an art form? Must art teach a lesson, or shouldn't the artist simply craft a truth as he or she sees it? Well, yes but that has no bearing on why this novel is a bad read. It starts off well enough and if I were to rate the first 3/4 of the story, it would be close to a 4; however, it's as though the author became bored with the story and was ready to move on another. Don't get me wrong, as someone who works with young adults, I recognize the protagonist's choice of revenge as a bad lesson, but I could live with that. The problem I have as a reader is that it was so unsatisfying! It didn't feel like real revenge, just silliness-and then the bully didn't even care! Ugh.

Eric Casas ericdcasascac1 — If you read anything by Virginia Woolf, be sure to read this one! While the presence and absence of the magnetic and charming Mrs. Ramsey effectively bookend the novel, the central character is actually her wallflower houseguest Lily Briscoe. As she spends her time observing the family and painting, she embarks on a metaphorical trip to the lighthouse that serves as the promised but unfulfilled destination to the Ramsey children. In particular, Virginia Woolf beautifully captures the passage of time in this book--the rise and descent of a thrown ball, the seasons of neglect that fall upon the Ramsey's summer beach house, the ebb and flow of a dinner party.

Eason Yan zoeyafter1cd47 — I don't agree w/ all the hype about this book. I definitely did not enjoy this book & did not look forward to reading it. I did not find it interesting & in fact, I thought it was boring. The author does a poor job of developing his characters - they just pop out w/ no explanation of their past. A lot of people said it is wonderful, they read it in school, blah, blah, blah. Gld I am done w/ it!
