Book Review: Review of Crooked Little Heart
Summary: 4 Stars

I would rate this book as a 5. It was written well but the language was a little hard to understand at times. And even through I could relate to it, but some parts of it were just really boring. And sure I feel bad for Simon but that really isn't a way to keep you into the book, unless it was a book about pregnancy. At the beginning I thought it was going to be an ok book, but not really something that I wanted to read. So I wasn't really motivated at all. It wasn't really hard to read as much as it was boring to read. I couldn't really sit still when I was reading it. I had to be playing with a pencil or something when had too read it. The vocabulary was a little bit of a challenge in some places, but not as much as other books I have read in the past. Some difficulties that someone might have reading this book would be that if you were a person like me and thought it was really boring, if you didn't like hearing about all the girly things that went on in the book, if you have a hard time reading about family problems, like marriages, then this might not be the book for you. If you have any of those difficulties then you might not want to read it because it's not really worth reading if your not going to enjoy it. The way I cam into contact with reading this book was when my class has book club and so I was chosen to read this book, but I did not pick it myself. Intact it was one that I did not want to read. I think that females would enjoy this book more that males would, unless you like to read these types of books. But I defiantly think that females would like reading this book more than males would.

Here is a quote that shows the way Anne Lamott writes in this book, "With Renee serving, a long tense rally ensued. Rosie hit another fantastic drop shot that Renee somehow go to one split second before it bounced again, and she continued up to the net. Rosie lobbed it over head, and Renee got to the lob and lobbed it back, but her shot landed an inch or so past the baseline. 'Yes,' said James. 'All right.' Rosie stopped the ball, caught it, took a long deep breath. Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief" (page 191 paragraph 7) I chose this paragraph because it show what Anne Lamott writes like. It also shows that her style is using well-suited vocabulary in just the right places. I know that she is a good writer but I guess I just don't like tennis, there for I don't like the book.
