Book Reviews of Belong to Me
Book Review: far fetched
Summary: 3 Stars
I really like this author's writing. Reading the first paragraph, you notice how she can really put a sentence together. But I had a couple of big problems with the plot. First of all, the character of Piper. Again, her description is an extremely well-written paragraph, one which is quite unflattering. I never figured out how Piper and Cornelia went from mutual dislike to being friends. My other major problem was with the resolution. It seems extremely far fetched.
If you're looking for somethibng light to read on a plane, this may be for you.
Book Review: Fav book of the year so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed "Love Walked In", but I adored "Belong to Me". The characters were so digestible! Reading this book was like indulging in my favorite dessert - one with lots of layers. It is so great to come across a novel where the plot is different from all the cookie cutter ideas that are published these days. I hated for this book to end and I wanted to move into the neighborhood of these characters and get to know them further! Now I'm hoping the author will write a book about Cornelia's sister! This was simply a wonderful read.Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a lovely story from an extremely talented writer. This book stands as a testament that writing about domestic issues and about the concerns of contemporary women doesn't necessarily need to seem trite or be accepted as superficial. The author has a lyrical writing style that flows well with the storyline, and her main character has a very strong voice that carries the story.
If you have not yet read this author's two books, I would highly recommend that you do right away.
Book Review: Interesting and boring at the same time
Summary: 2 Stars
I know that a lot of people will not agree with me but I lost interest of the story after reading the first 60 pages or so. I continued reading but this was not a book that made me wanna read. It was not a page turner to me. The characters were nice and I actually liked them but there was just something about this book that made me feel bored at times. Perhaps it was the fact that I believe a couple of chapters been streched like gum and its been too long. Just my two sense....Book Review: Wonderful, just wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't think anything could top Love Walked In, that is one of my top 5 reads ever. This follow-up came near close. It is just so good. It still contains the lyrical writing in which you can tell the author is a poet, no one else writes like this. It was good to revisit the old characters and grow to love the new ones too. And that one point in the book when your jaw drops is just great, and for me very unexpected. Great read!
