What?

Revisado: 07-11-19

I am so confused by all these gushing positive reviews. That was why I stuck with it for as long as I did, until I just couldn't take it anymore. This seemed less of a tribute to Debbie, and Carrie, and more of a way for Todd to toot his own horn, over, and over again. And the more he sung his own praises, the more I could not stand the sound of his voice. I finally had to just give up. Carrie was the writer in the family, so if you want more of an inside look (with tons of hilarity) just get one of her books.

Very long hate letter to the step father.

Revisado: 10-14-18

I know this will sound harsh, but...we get it, you were abused. To hold on to this amount of hate for all this time must be incredibly painful, and hopefully this will help Sally rid herself of some of the demons, but it's complete overkill in this memior. Every time I go to listen I was hoping the stories of how awful the stepfather was would be wrapped up and it could move on to other aspects of an extrordinary life, but I just can't continue. It's just making me depressed.

I don't get it

Revisado: 08-30-18

I rarely give a book this low of a rating. I just simply didn't get this book. It wasn't a mystery because there are no clues to try and figure out the 'who done it', and it's certainly not a thriller. I also thought the author did a terrible job representing a character with supposed Bipolar mental illness. This book literally put me to sleep, and I had a tough time getting to the end which was nonclimatic, and frankly dull. There seems to be all these authors coming out with these books, with supposed twists and turns, and readers are jumping on the band wagon and giving them all glowing reviews. I don't get it.

Such a delight

Revisado: 08-01-18

I love Paula Poundstone and was anxious to hear what she had been up to after she made tabloid news years ago for an unfortunate choice. She is still hilariously funny with a healthy dose of vulnerability. You can't help but to love her and her quest for happiness. I adored every single second of this book, and will now go back and read all of her books. My hope is she will continue to make a come back and I'd love to see her in a sitcom or movie. Her generous, kind spirit and dedication to her kids will win anyone over. Grab this book if you want your own dose of happiness.

Why the raves?

Revisado: 07-31-18

I don't get the raves about this book. It was okay, at best. I may have even liked it better if I hadn't gone in with such high hopes. I was rooting for Eleanor, but as the book went on and on and on, I found myself liking her less and less. I kept falling asleep while listening and struggling to finally wrap the story up. The end offered no real surprises, or even a satisfying conclusion. I'll be curious to see if they make it into a movie, because I think a movie may be better than the book. Just not one I'd recommend.

Had promise.

Revisado: 05-02-18

I liked this book fine up until the ridiculously creepy ending then I thought, really, that was it? It goes so far off the tracks as for being believable, then draws out the end for what seems like forever. What a shame.

Utterly torturous.

Revisado: 05-01-18

Remember when you had to write a report in school that had to be a certain number of words so you squeeze in as many unnecessary words as possible to meet that requirement? This is how this book feels. This book is not a mystery and seems to have absolutely no point. I kept waiting for a twist, but it's exactly what it seems. The author drags us through the perspectives of each of these one dimensional characters that drone on and on ad nauseam. If I had to write everything that was wrong with this book, then I'd be droning on for pages. I'll stop here, and just tell you not to waste a moment of your time on this complete dud.

Charming and delightful.

Revisado: 03-13-18

An escape into a world you'd love to live in and a character you'd covet as your best friend. Rich with history, lineage, and a ton of atmosphere, I couldn't put this down. Please write another one about this town and it's endearing characters.

Twists and turns galore!

Revisado: 03-13-18

This is a ride that you cannot predict where it's going. Think it's all wrapped up? Nooo, yet another twist. I hope and pray this is made into a movie.

Heartfelt and soul renewing

Revisado: 09-30-17

I feel honored to have had Ms. Harpham share her family's heart warming yet at times harrowing journey with us the readers. This is a book you won't want to put down as you follow the incredible story of our wonderful little Gracie through her heroic fight for life. What a spectacular tale of finding magic and awe in even the darkest places. This book will stay with you long after you put it down.
