A great book when you just want to kick back and have a pleasurable read. The characters are realistic and very likable; so much that one gets caught up quickly in each of their lives.Before you know it, you have devoured the whole book I love it !! (  ) barb92 | Apr 18, 2009 | peppone01 | Mar 10, 2009 | I can see why this is kind of a classic. Well-tied together, interesting stores weaving through the strange cityscape of San Francisco - not fully believable, but very enjoyable. My main criticism would be that the characters are often 2-dimensional and it's hard to really root for anyone. I more enjoyed the interesting interwoven experiences and lives of the group than the characters' emotional reactions to things. (  )1  lucidtheory | Dec 12, 2008 | The classic San Francisco novel introduces a family of characters who live in Mrs. Madrigal's rooming house on Barbary Lane. The book is so full of dialogue that it reads like a script. Very funny, quirky, mind-opening, and heart-warming. (  ) Othemts | Nov 22, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
