 usefuljack | May 17, 2013 |  I'm currently listening to this as I paint a bathroom. Alice Sebold is NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK. Update: I broke my foot while listening to this book as I painted a bathroom. I'm blaming it on Alice Sebold; her book made my bones brittle as ice. (  ) usefuljack | May 17, 2013 | This was just okay, I did finish it. But I also thought that The Lovely Bones was very over rated as well. (  ) Dianekeenoy | May 12, 2013 | Terrible, terrible, terrible. See Kristina's review. (  ) E.J | Apr 3, 2013 | If I could give this book a quantity of negative stars, I would, as it contains some of the worst writing ever. For example, "And there it was, the hole that had given birth to me. The cleft that had compelled the mystery of my father's love for forty years." I didn't make it past page 45.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316677469, Hardcover)A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this brilliant, powerful, and unforgettable new novel by the author of The Lovely Bones and Lucky. For years Helen Knightly has given her life to others: to her haunted mother, to her enigmatic father, to her husband and now grown children. When she finally crosses a terrible boundary, her life comes rushing in at her in a way she never could have imagined. Unfolding over the next twenty-four hours, this searing, fast-paced novel explores the complex ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers, the meaning of devotion, and the line between love and hate. It is a challenging, moving, gripping story, written with the fluidity and strength of voice that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page.(retrieved from Amazon Sun, 06 Jan 2013 08:45:25 -0500) (summary from another edition) |
