It took me a long (like 2 months or more) to finish this book. I kept putting it down and just never got around to it. With that said, there were a few parts of the book that I really, really liked. And then other parts that I just didn't care about. Part I-- Italy and indulging in pleasure-- especially good since I've been to Italy, and this part of the book also gives the background about why the author is on this trip-search for balance. Reading other reviews, I found many readers like the Italy leg the least (!??!)--it's my favorite. Part II -- India. good night--I read most of this section of the book by reading/scanning the center third of the pages. Despite a absolute dislike for the narrator at this point, there was still a bit of a good voice and funny-ish self deprecation, but I just can't seem to get interested in the India ashram setting, the hours of Yoga meditation and it's my cynical side that rolls my eyes whenever anyone says with seriousness, "my Guru." But that's my apparant need to search for devotion, I guess. Some lessons learned here--but a lot of self-loathing and regression. There are plenty of other 'characters' and digressions and connections that make this a 'anyman's religion' connection and not just a 'hindu' thing, but.... Still, this is the section that made it a two-month or more read for me. The best line of the whole book is from this section though: a friend of the author tells her something like, (?) Stop living your life with a Wishbone where your backbone should be. Love that line. Part III,--Bali-- better. But did she really change? I think so, in the big picture aspect. I really dislike her still, and at this point of the book, I was looking forward to being done with her. In all, it's good to read about other people's searches for balance if you too have been on a search or think you need to be. Not a book for Pure Cynics.

Florence and I listened to this last week while drving around. It seemed a little more darker than some others we have listened to, (I don't claim to be or will ever been a expert on romance novels), and the plot bounced around a lot, between four main characters and over ten minor characters. One thing I did like was that even though everyone had a happy ending, not all happy endings involved romance, some happy endings even involved breaking off romance.

be very careful when reading this book. it will change your mood, your frame of mind, and possibly your politics. the illustrations are beautiful and charming, but the story will break your heart.
This is one of my absolute favorite books. I've read it over and over, and every time it thrills me. Nabokov's command of the English language is staggering, as is the way he blurs the lines between Humbert Humbert and Lolita- who's in control of the situation at any given time, who's emotionally in control, who's the adult... Some passages are so gorgeous they make me catch my breath, others make me squirm uncomfortably, others make me laugh out loud. I feel like I could read this until I died and it would be new every time.

So, this book has gotten a lot of hype, and a lot of reviews, and I read it rather disjointedly and to some expense as I wracked up library fees. I definitely felt like the different narratives were each interesting and compelling, but found their connection less than compelling. I loved the descriptions of places, things, and meals as well as the familiarity and lack of specificity about the war. The jury's still out. Obviously, a writer of towering ability, and I think she deserves better attention and a closer look than I was able to give this time around.

So, this book has gotten a lot of press. If you haven't heard about it, you might be surprised to learn that this book, with a pretty, but ambiguous cover, is a woman's memoir of growing up under the thumb of a pedophile. I knew what I was getting into, but I was still really unprepared. The book is graphic, unsettling, and I finally had to skip ahead because I really wanted to be done with it. Her relationship with her abuser is horrific, but it's no worse than the verbal and emotional abuse she experiences at home. Fragoso's childhood is difficult to read through--that she lived it, and is now a successful writer with a family of her own, feels like a miracle. It's hard to separate the book, and how well it is written from the content. Fragoso is a good writer, but I can't say I'd recommend this to anyone.
This isn't as personal as you might want, but it gives a good amount of background on Janet Jackson's family life and her struggles with self confidence. She sticks to her tradition of keeping her private life private, but it's done in a way that makes you want to hear more about her career, her experiences with discrimination, etc. It reads very quickly and has a very positive inspirational tone to it. Overall an enjoyable effort from a legendary entertainer.
