Wow. I wasn't sure if it was going to have a good ending, but I am very satisfied with the ending of the series. Holy crap. Good show, Mr. King. Good show.
This book is wonderful, informative, and educational without being drawn out OE dry. It was lovely to read.
I related to this book very much and I felt inspired when I finished it. Her life turned out okay! It gives me hope that mine will too.
Woman quits her job as a lawyer to join a Renn Faire. This is a plot I can relate to.
This was fantastic. It was funny and unconventional and sad. A really, really excellent memoir.
I almost DNF'd it because it's about sibling loss, but I decided to take inspiration from the characters and push through. I'm glad I did! Lovely story. It's not often that one of the main characters is 79 years old.
The premise is so fascinating, but this book was just so slow and wordy that I couldn't get into it. I liked the movie more. Sorry.
You know how sometimes you sit down with a grandparent or elderly relative and you think they're going to tell you an awesome war story or about something crazy that happened when they were younger, but instead they just bore you with the minutiae of what they ate at school as a child? That's pretty much how this book is. The first 220 pages are wordy and and boring. It's only toward the end of the book, when Dawkins starts to discuss his research and writing, that things get intriguing. I liked the last three or four chapters. I felt like I learned a lot from him at that point. But reading anecdotes about classmates from school when he was a child? Not so much.
The fact that I started It at the beginning of the summer and finished at the end is just perfect. Ties in perfectly with the book. Just perfect. This book was oddly scary and hard to get through sometimes. I loved it so much.
It's surprising that a book written decades ago is still SO ACCURATE to what it's like working in medicine. I took a long time reading this because it was too much like being at work sometimes. But, so funny. The Rules are correct. And as a member of the Sociable Cervix, I concur that placement comes first.
It was interesting, and Damon is still hot, but it's poorly written, not intriguing, and nowhere near as awesome as the tv show. A rarity!
I stayed up til 1:30 AM to finish it, sobbing the whole way. That's how you know it's a good book.
Re-read on audiobook. I remember hiding in the library at school reading this in 4th grade, being absolutely shocked about bras and periods (we didn't have the internet back then, friends!). I did not, however, remember the very frank discussion of religion. She's “no religion” and goes on an exploration tour through Judaism, Christianity, and catholicism to see what feels right to her. For a YA book from 1970, I am impressed.
This started out a little iffy and definitely had its SMH moments, but I thought it was an excellent (and final) end to the trilogy.
