Review:This was an excellent story on forgiveness and love and recovering. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get over a hurt, and a death. It was touching to know her son showed her signs that he was near. Wonderful book. Read more

Review:At first I enjoyed this book because I also learned to speak Italian in my 30s, and I am interested in her perspectives on language and the construction of the self. Did I say self? This was self, self, self, and full of narcissistic repetition. Congratulations, you learned to write 8th grade Italian. Then you gave us the same tired, pseudo-profound observations,over and over. This was at best a magazine article. Clearly translator Ann Goldstein saved the day. Prioprio noioso, anche per una pers... Read more

Review:The book is very interesting and very well written. Grass did not grow under this guys feet so it is always on to the next thing. The most interesting part is the book is an amazing read but I am not sure that I would be friends with him. He comes across as a bull in a china shop a lot of the time. Some of that might be the directness of the language as this is still his second language. Read more

Review:Full disclosure: the "boss" Joanna Rakoff describes in this book has been my agent for over 30 years. In spite of the fact I make very little money for her, she has always been supportive of me simply because she likes my writing--a fact the agent called "Max" in this memoir, who considered her an anachronism, would no doubt decry. For me, the "boss" is one of a dying breed of agents, editors and publishers who are in the business because they love writing.
And I like Rakoff's writing. She ... Read more

Review:Book that lets you walk with a woman facing cancer. Kate Bowler lets you inside her thoughts as she courageously faces the worst with grace. The book would be particularly meaningful for anyone facing the same diagnosis. Read more

Review:This is an interesting read .. Definetly a departure from normal le Carre writing. It is a bit arcane and rambling. However as a reader and owner of all of his novels, I needed to read this book. You can read a chapter here and there. I have not finished it although I've had it for several weeks. It will be several more til it's done. Still a good addition to my library. Read more

Review:I liked this book mainly because it is unlike what is out there. I expected it to be a bit juvenile from its description but it really, really is juvenile.

Still, fun to read. However, the descriptions seem to blur together after awhile because they are so repetitive.

It found its place by the toilet where it made a fun toilet reader. Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this book as a long time Against Me! fan. It is a fast, insightful, and entertaining read. It offers a mix of old journal entries and prose to give a surprisingly insightful and detailed look into busy and complicated life in relatively few words. I would recommend this book for fans of against me! there are tons of great stories from Laura's time on the road. I also really found myself relating to the book as a women who loves punk rock and a women in general. Laura shares... Read more
