This book was interesting, but overall a bit disappointing. His conclusions were neither earth-shattering nor voluminous.
It is 579 pages... and that is what it felt like. A really good book is 700 pages and feels like 200. As I read through the book, I could pick up all the different pieces of other books like Twilight (the most obvious) or The DaVinnci Code stitched together in a different way. The first 200 pages were interesting. After that, the book became a bit slower to get through. While I enjoy imagery and descriptive detail (think Tolkien), this books excessive detail made it more of a hindrance. I did enjoy the protagonist Diana, and I am slightly curious about how the next book will turn out. I just think that the book would have been much better if it wasn't so drawn out.

I like almost all of Dr. Seuss' books, but this one is a head and shoulders above the rest, mostly because it's more than a catchy rhyme with easy-to-read words. "A person's a person no matter how small". Even though it's not the author's intent, I always think of that phrase in terms of abortions and it makes me sad.
At first when I started this book I thought it was really dumb and un-realistic, but then in the end it had a powerful lesson to teach. It is about a girl who wants to find the perfect kiss, so she goes around kissing all these random dudes to see if he will be her perfect kisser. It's really strange of her because she kinda just goes up to random people on the sidewalk and kisses them. Then a lot of people (myself included) starting thinking she was a slut or something. But then in the end she realizes what it was really about and moves on in her life. There is a ton of other stuff going on in the story as well but I don't want to spoil it! =) Oh yeah, and it's by the same author of "Flipped" which I LOVED, which is why I wanted to read this one!

Just finished a reread, definitely enjoyed it more than last time, it's gone up the list
So, I think I might even give this a 4.5. I went into this book knowing nothing about it and having drawn conclusions from the title, that were completely wrong, so it took me a minute to get my bearings. But, I really really liked it and find myself continually thinking about it. On the back of the book it says: Mr. Stegner's success with this story lies precisely in the absence of all these currently popular subject matters and the presence of quiet reexamination of what, close to the end, seems to have made life not only worth living, but happy and almost fulfilled. Mr. Stegner has built a convincing narrative, has made survival a grace rather than a grim necessity and enduring, tried love the test and proof of a good life. Nothing in these lives is lost or wasted, suffering becomes an enriching benediction, and life itself a luminous experience.
I can't get enough of the Spellings, yet Candy Spelling is neurotic and boring. Hard to believe right? She glosses right over her first marriage/divorce at 17. Her relationship with Tori is sad and sadder still is that she doesn't recognize her part in the estrangement. I gave it 1 star for the boring factor. She lists her vast collections for 3 pages straight. It also appears that she had a nose job from her pictures.

A very quick read -- only about 137 pages. Set in a kinda-sorta parallel-universe New Orleans without levee failures, the book is about a pair of gay chefs who run a New Orleans restaurant called "Liquor" where every dish contains liquor. Not a bad gimmick, really! The "gay chef" angle was a little ham-handed, I thought, with all the ball fondling and yanking of cranks and such a little gratuitous. The kitchen scenes, too, were a little hackneyed, with lots of kitchen shenanigans, cocaine snorting, ass kickings, and the like. I enjoyed the fairly detailed descriptions of preparing for a huge, all-wild-duck banquet out in Cajun country, however; really, I can't pan a book that's all about duck cookery. All in all, though, I found this book uninspired, especially given the impression I get that all of this author's books are about the same. But, hey, you can read it in under two hours, so why not check it out from the library?
