1.

And oh my giddy aunt am I ever glad I didn’t. Buy it that is.
You see, based on the title Not Buying It: My Year Without Shopping I actually thought it might be more of a memoir type of book. And it was…in parts. But mostly it was a socio-political take on American consumerism. Oh [...]

I didn’t really enjoy this. It had potential because it had some potentially good characters. But then they did stupid things and it annoyed me.
I think she wrote from too many points-of-view in this book. There are 5 women mentioned in the blurb on the bad of the book. But then she ends up [...]

I wanted to like Goodnight Nobody. Really, I did. But I didn’t.
On one hand it was good to see her return to telling a story from a single character’s point of view.

Crap, crap, crap, and more crap. It’s not even good crap. Of course I *knew* this before I read it. Katie said so. But when I saw it on the one week loan shelf I still had to pick it up.
Why? Such a waste of time.

I finished Watermelon last night. I was actually rather disappointed. I’ve liked most of her other stuff that I’ve read (and I’ve read most of them). But I really didn’t like this one. I didn’t like the main character. There were too many one sentence paragraphs. Actually it wasn’t rare for half a page [...]
