And I read The Romance Reader twice because I didn't understnd the full impact.
Bee Season I had to put down so depressing but picked it up again when I wasn't so raw myself and same feelings for Map of the World. Both books intense for me.
How ... I read and liked Bee Season several years ago, but I LOVE watching the actual National Spelling Bee on television. I ran across it years ago (on ESPN of all places) when my husband abandoned me for a business mtg. while we were in Atlanta. I got so hooked on it that I didn't even want to go out ... #138 - cameling, I agree with you about Bee Season.

I fear Bee Season and I shall remain unfriendly. Having finished Bee Season yesterday, I think I may have enjoyed the book more because I haven't as yet watched the movie, and now that I've read the book, I don't think I want to. I don't think the movie could have dealt with the nuances as well.
I'm now starting The Stars At Noon by Denis J ... okay, cameling, i trust your taste...*why* do you like bee season exactly? the story is okay, i grant you, but the execution must have some quality that simply escapes me. i found it drearily plodding. what might i have missed?

and since the scales appear to be balanced for and against Bee Season I'll still include that in my selection of holiday reading for the weekend. cameling, a vote for the other side, I loved Bee Season. Oh oh, Bee Season...well, let's just say that would not be on my list of recommendations for a holiday weekend. Least said, soonest mended.
I'm into a book that I thought was a re-read but isn't, unless a Transient Ischemic Event eliminated just that squoodge of memory...The Man from Greek ... ... lacking in substance. Ugh! I'd advise everyone who loves good mysteries to avoid this like the plague!
I'm on to start Bee Season by Myla Goldberg and Kiss of Darkness by Heather Graham, which I hope will make me forget the few hours I wasted on The Deadly Dance. 47. The Season by Sarah MacLean

Wickett's Remedy: I was tempted but, after getting bad reviews from a number of readers on another site who had adored Bee Season, I decided to skip it. I don't think either of us missed much there. Bee Season by Myla Goldberg I finished Bee Season. I enjoyed the character portrayals and it certainly leaves you pondering what's next for each of them. I'm now into The Yacoubian Building. It is most enjoyable and engaging--right from the first page. I'm looking forward to reading the thread on it shortly! I'm reading Bee Season by Myla Goldberg which has a young Jewish boy, brother of the champion speller, examining different faiths. He looks for God, rather literally, and seeks the vision/feeling he felt on his Bar Mitzvah.
