Really, it was just a quick, simple story. Not as much panache as A Confederacy of Dunces. Great writing for a teenager though.

I am going to write a more substantial review, but for now, let me just say that Paula McLain has done an incredibly thorough job of research AND an inspired job of capturing Hadley's voice. This novel is totally believable and the Hadley and Ernest created here ring true for me. I think the title "The Paris Wife" does not do the book justice, it makes the book seem like chick-lit, which it most emphatically is not. The Best-Loved Wife might be better...although that title would spark controversy. Pauline's grandson Sean has edited a new edition of Hemingway's A Moveable Feast - it seems he feels that Mary Hemingway distorted Hemingway's intentions. However this is far from proven, and he clearly wishes to make Pauline appear in a more favorable light. McLain, using Hadley's voice, certainly gives Pauline her due, and perhaps more than her due, given the way Hadley's feelings were trampled by both parties to the adultery. This review by Stephen Leary on Amazon.com clarifies the Moveable Feast situation: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2FXQ16O...

This was a book my Book Club chose. It was okay, but I found it difficult to like the main character(s) and therefore was not able to "bond" with them or enjoy the book as much as I might have.
very interesting perspective, sarcastic, amusing, informative, fun to read indeed. it's a sort of my very own 'justification' hehe.. love it.
Wow, I loved this story. I didn't expect the intensity or the complexity of Bianca's relationships with her boyfriend, her best friend, her roommate, her parents...even her schoolmate enemy. Her experiences and thoughts were realistically believable despite this vampire, ghoulish world. Can't wait for the next!!!

Billie Jo and her family are residents of Oklahoma's Dust Bowl in the early 1930s, during the Depression. Her story is told in first person through a series of poems. Rather than narrating, the poems provide snapshots of individual incidents and emotions; the readers are forced to add the narration themselves that connects the poems together. This book would be a great way to introduce children to poetry, loss of a family member, and the history of the Great Depression.
As a suburbanite, I definitely related to the "Is this all there is?" general theme and emotion through the book. Speaks to the boredom and monotony of life at home with 3 kiddies of my life. And the ease of how the boredom and routine of life can seep into marriage and next thing you know, there's hardly a conversation exchanged with your spouse. Written in 1961, you can tell with the long descriptions that the writing is old, not as succinct as we are used to now. The book moves quickly because of a lot of dialogue, but the theme of the whole book is definitely a DOWNER. Except for cocktail hour every night after work, the book feels like it is set in current suburbia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To anyone who might be thinking, “I don’t want to read another book about bored, unhappy suburbanites” should not stop from reading this novel. Yes, there is no doubt that novels today are filled with sappy characters complaining about how bored and miserable they are in suburbia. So I can readily admit the subject matter is tired and has been beaten to death, but that is only because those sorts of books are generally written more on a Lifetime Movie For Women level than Eugene O’Neill or Richard Yates level. By Jessica Schneider: themoderatevoice.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIZ'S FAVORITE QUOTE IN THE BOOK: "You still felt that life was passing you by?" "Sort of. I still had this idea that there was a whole world of marvelous golden people somewhere, as far ahead of me as the seniors at Rye when I was in sixth grade; people who knew everything instinctively, who made their lives work out the way they wanted without even trying, who never had to make the best of a bad job because it never occurred to them to do anything less than perfectly the first time. Sort of heroic super-people, all of them beautiful and witty and calm and kind, and I always imagined that when I did find them I'd suddenly know that I belonged among them, that I was one of them, that I'd been meant to be one of them all along, and everything in the meantime had been a mistake; and they'd know it too. I'd be like the ugly duckling among the swans." April Wheeling, pg.353
John Gerkin was going to wear a pink gorilla costume to the midnight opening of the new version of king kong. It didn't happen but he told me about the part in wise blood where the gorilla outside the movie theater cusses. It's a great book!

What a delightful companion piece to an imaginitive series. I particularly enjoyed the interviews with the main characters (who knew satyrs get choked up playing 'Muskrat Love' on the reed pipes?). Riordan manages to pack in quite a few laughs considering the brevity of the text. I'll conclude with one of my favorites in which the protagonist is contriving a means to escape class in order to avert a mythological crisis: I did the only thing I could. 'Mrs. White,' I said, 'can I go to the restroom? I feel like I'm going to puke.' You know how teachers tell you the magic word is please? That's not true. The magic word is puke. It will get you out of class faster than anything else. 'Go!' Mrs. White said.
