My Reviews

Rococo: A Novel by Adriana Trigiani
 
Was a hard book to get into, but became interesting as charactors evolved.

Not really what I read, but was fun. It was a good study of families and friends. Some thing kept me guessing. The only down side for me was the use of all the discriptive words for the decorating and buildings. I suppose if I knew some of that, it would be interesting. But, I caught myself getting bogged down by all those big, foreign words.

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
 
Interesting, Inspiring, Dramatic
Up and downs of living in poverty and loving it

This is a very suitable book for a book club, given you have participants from many walks of life. The realization that some people growing up didn't have everything, but didn't even miss it, is quite an eye opener for some. This book is written well and occasionally gives us something to "chew" on with just a sentence. Very good book.

Stealing Buddha's Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen
 
Informative, Boring, Interesting
A search to fit in somewhere finds you might have searched in the wrong places

This book was very well written. It causes us to question whether in our never ending search to "fit in" somewhere, we are missing what really matters in life. My favorite parts were the way her grandmother kept traditions going, no mater where they were or what was going on in the world. She was the constant. I hope the author can continue some of these traditions.

I think we all have, some time in our life, struggled with where we fit in. I am glad the author has shared with us here struggle. This book is excellant for a group study because there are many things anyone reading may identify with at some time in there life.
