Historia
With the snow falling fast on a New Hampshire mansion, seven 20-somethings gather for a weekend that will change their lives irrevocably. The extravagant trip to celebrate Will and Jessica's upcoming nuptials brings together a cast of characters who know each other from Ivy League schools and childhood Upper East Side haunts. There is Lulu, an LA-based Instagram influencer; Maxie, a former Park Avenue princess, now Midwestern housewife; Yael, an ER doctor from Ohio; Rob, a colorless Wall Street trader; Will, a morality-obsessed lawyer; Jessica, Will’s perfectionist bride-to-be....

Millennial nightmare.
Revisado: 03-31-23
The description sounds like a great story. It is not. Poor little rich kids who are not only wealthy but incredibly good looking too. The voice performance is cringe worthy. It sounds like someone making fun of Thurston and Lovie Howell with vocal fry. If you get this reference you are probably too old to enjoy this book. I wish there was a rating system or a warning system that would allow readers to know the age range of the target audience. I’m 55, I love Stranger Things and Yellow Jackets and other shows or movies that appeal to younger audiences. But this story doesn’t have enough gusto to entertain a wide range of audiences. It reminds me of Summer House or some other Bravo or TLC reality show,

Historia
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

This narrator did Karen wrong!
Revisado: 03-11-23
This Valley Girl meets vocal fry voice for Karen is all wrong. Karen is dry and smart and is a serious musician. Not this vapid lilting voiced tart. Everyone else seems right. The story is good. I like the 70’s setting. The description of the clothes and settings is vivid and fun.

Riveting
Revisado: 02-27-23
If you enjoyed this please try Beth Macey’s Dopesick if you haven’t already. Also an excellent and true to life fiction work that Charlie Thurston does an awe inspiring performance is Barbara Kingsolver’s newest novel Demon Copperhead. You won’t be disappointed. I swear my brother-in-law was visiting these pill mills in Florida at this time and he reported a similar scene and the doctor he described Dr. Cadet. I will have to ask him if he remembers the name of the “clinic” He said he thought he had died and gone to pillbilly heaven when the dr. wrote something like 6 oxy a day plus 4 Roxy for breakthrough pain and Percocet for something else plus muscle relaxers and Xanax I’m just glad he’s still alive and doing okay at the moment.
It’s a great book that helps understand the doctors motivations for working in these clinics. I figured one reason would be due to being addicted themselves. I would have loved to have learned Dr. Cadet’s truth.

It Certainly Lives Up to the Title
Revisado: 12-20-22
I have to admit this book caused a couple of chuckles. Growing up in a similarly rural area in Southwest Virginia, I have the exact same representations of the stereotypical “hillbilly” in my family and in my community. After reading authors like Lee Smith, Barbara Kingsolver and Silas House I had a higher expectation. Although I don’t know why with a title such as Crapalachia. I want my credit back and my time back. All I can say is the title fits. Sounds like the author is deeply bitter about his upbringing and it’s geographical location, the region, the culture and his family tree. I hope he has worked it out, maybe writing it down was a catharsis, maybe he remains bitter.

Disappointed. glimmers of a good story.
Revisado: 12-01-21
First, the narrator is not good at all. The mispronunciation of the world “aunt” is hard to contend with since it is used so many times in the story. It’s a common mispronounced word. People can’t wrap their heads around the word aunt is pronounced the same as “ant.” It’s grated on my nerves though.
The story to me felt disjointed. I didn’t understand, maybe I missed the explanation. So, the girl’s mother is the natural witch, yet the dad has the last name Owens, but it’s the Owens family that is the bloodline of the natural witches. Did Dr. Owens take Suzanna’s name? That’s just one plot hole I noticed.

Not the best from Hendrix
Revisado: 11-24-21
I have enjoyed Hendrix’s other works. This one missed the mark for me. Although I did feel exactly how I feel when watching one of these last girl type movies…..exhausted, uninterested, and wondering when it is going to be over.

This story went on and on. I like a long book. Usually the longer the better. I enjoy spending time with the characters but in this case everything unfolds at snails pace then bam. Not for me, I had a hard time finishing this book.

Tender love letter to South West Virginia and East Tennessee
Revisado: 08-26-20
I enjoy a long descriptive novel. I like Kingsolver’s use of language, subtle humor and understanding of human behavior. I loved the separate stories and I thought the way each one was intertwined was unique. I am not one to try to figure out plots I get much more enjoyment by allowing the story to unfold.
I do not understand the negative reviews of Kingsolver’s narration. She was born and raised in Southwest Virginia she is speaking her native tongue. I did list to the story at a little bit faster speed.
The only criticism I have is we became so invested in all these characters because of Kingsolver’s extremely well thought out development. The story meanders lazily at times then all of sudden there’s such an abrupt ending especially to Deanna’s story. Is this on purpose? Is there going to be more to this novel? This is my first Barbara Kingsolver book and I will choose more.
The technical difficulties were plentiful. The bird songs between chapters were fine however it did hurt my ears as they were too loud and too high pitched to listen with earbuds. The chapters were all out of numerical order toward the end and a complete mess. I hope I didn’t miss anything and I hope that’s not why I felt the ending was rushed.

Human condition in shambles
Revisado: 12-22-19
This happened right before I was born. I have heard about this case. I had a coworker that was 15-20 years oldest than me and she vividly remembers it and she said it terrified he and she still got chills thinking about it. Her daughter went to college in Chicago and this case stayed in the back of her mind. I had not heard about Richard Speck’s transformation and his deep dive into prison subculture. Although it didn’t shock me. He was a deeply sick man.
