Q: This book was terrific . I loved it and look forward to more of her books. The lead character was very likable and it was fun watching her journey through the break-up and divorce and how she was able to cope. It is a book of hope for anyone who has had marital problems or just pure fantasy and fun for those who have not

A: POS
****
Q: why a classic? . I figured if Oprah wanted America to read this book that it couldn't be too bad. I had held out on reading Faulkner, and now I know why. I read alot and love reading but this book, and "As I Lay Dying" makes me question why oh why Faulkner is a classic. My hypothesis is that its so unapproachable therefore people think it must be brilliant. This is a good book for english class when you can sit around and discuss the meanings of it all and read sparknotes together. This is not a book for sitting at home and reading for yourself. If you want to know the story just go read the sparknotes version. The book itself is too hard to figure out and there is little plot. its just a long headache really.

A: NEG
****
Q: Inane and annoying . When traveling, I always try to take location appropriate literature along. This seemed to be a particularly good choice for a visit to Venice. Long after returning from the vacation, I'm still trying to force myself to finish this book. It is self-indulgent and inane. If the use of the phrase "don't be rough," (I could never figure out what was rough) over and over and over again is not enough to encourage throwing the book in the fire, then abundant use of "I love you, whatever that means," should do it. I usually like Hemingway, this book is awful

A:
NEG
