Wow. This was a random pick from the library's "newly acquired" shelves, and I scored. With a structure that could've easily gotten annoying (the tale is told through correspondence, both in the form of letters and short stories/book chapters sent to the Famous Writing School instructor), it kept me guessing AND kept me laughing. Can't ask for much more than that. I made Adam put down Prince of Tides (forced him to start it when I learned he'd never read it) to start this one, as it's a library loaner.
This book could go either way for me. There is no doubt that the author is a talented writer, however, there are many parts of the story that I thought were confusing. I found myself having to re-read many passages to figure out who was who and what was what. Needless to say it took me a while to get through.
This book wasn't that bad. It's about Jeannet Walls life. This book made me think about my life in a different way. Knowing there are people who have such a bad childhood and memories that weren't all that great. I admire Jeannet for telling people about her life in full detail, I know I won't be able to do that.
