The Adults: A Novel by Alison Espach

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book started out really interesting. I read 25% of it the first night. Amazing writing, clever storytelling and characters. But halfway through the book...it fizzled. It seemed the author spent way more time on the first half then quickly had to finish to meet a deadline or something. Characters didn't develop fully, and the quality of writing seemed closer to first than final draft, so that was disappointing.

Book Review: A Widow's Story

A Widow's Story: A Memoir by Joyce Carol Oates

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I've not read anything by JCO before, but wow, her writing is perfection. The subject matter is tough, sad, heartbreaking, but so well done.
