I liked being able to see the different POVs of the characters. It was interesting to see the character's different perspectives on the situations that happened. I read this after Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood... and I no longer liked Vivi as much as I did before. I won't spoil the book, but in Little Altars everywhere you get to see a much darker side to Vivi's character. Still, I loved this book. Each character had their own personality. It was funny, sad, nostaligic, and a memorable read. A little bit of realism to the Ya Ya myth. This book hasn't grabbed me like Yayas in Bloom did, but I keep finding myself drawn back. I like how it changes perspective from Sidda to Little Shep and back to Viv and Big Shep. Buggy is hysterical. Love the fear and respect for Catholicism, so true. Do I ge time in purgatory for even considering releasing this at/near a church? Well after saying that this book hadn't grabbed me like others in the series did, it certainly got its claws into me last night. Forced myself to stop reading when I got to pt 2 and read the rest this morning. Liked how it fast forwarded to the 90s and reminisces before coming to the then present with Bay's dau's baptism. Only wish I still had Yayas in Bloom to reread now that I know about their past, would tie it all together better. This is why serial books should be read in order. o:) Even though the bits about the Penguins made me laugh, I don't think this can pass as a church appropriate release This was a good book for those who want some more more more of the Ya Ya's. The book lacked all the fun stories and the true heart of the first book with all " secrets "of the Ya-Ya's. But I would say if anyone was as attached to the Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, you will not be entirely disappointed in this book. I recommend this book as a follow up to the first. Happy Reading. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0060759968, Paperback)"It can wear you to a nub, trying to be a popular person and a good Catholic all at the same time." So says Sidda, one of the characters inhabiting Little Altars Everywhere. Author Rebecca Wells uses her considerable acting talent to perform this abridgment, adding even more spark to her already lively characters. Everyone--Shep, Vivi, Willetta, and the rest--is given a distinct voice, and Wells plays each of them to the hilt. More like a recording of a one-woman show than a mere reading, Altars is an excellent example of how entertaining audiobooks can be. (Running time: 3 hours, 2 cassettes) --C.B.
