The Good Stuff * This wasn't my cup of tea guys, but don't let my review affect you too much as she is a fantastic writer, and I have read many fantastic reviews of the book, but I just couldn't get into it * Bitingly funny at times * Well written and the story flows nicely told between modern day and flash backs * Author is outstanding at making you see the character she is describing, I felt like I really knew the characters even if I didn't like them * A extremely realistic portrayal of many families during the 70's * Emery is an interesting character and I really felt for him The Not so Good Stuff * The parents are so narcissistic and just bloody awful parents, that they really turned me off from getting into the story. In fact most of the characters were just genuinely unlikeable, which makes is hard for me personally get into a novel Favorite Quotes/Passages "Portia begins speaking for the cat, saying what she believes Maggie Bucks is thinking. Emery, who is sitting at the kitchen table reading the paper, assumes that Portia is giving her a cartoon-like Asian accent because the cast is Siamese." "What you do here, Connecticut Girl? Smoker Lady no here! Smoker Lady in hospital! You go home now! You go back to Greenwich! I no want you here, Connecticut Girl!" "The idea that her mother wouldn't have the same occupation as her friends' mothers enraged Anna. Who would have the nerve to give birth to children, move them into a house and declare that she wasn't going to take care of them? A drug-addicted hippie, Anna decided, that's who." What I Learned * That I was a kid during the 70's and I am so lucky that my parents didn't do any of the shit that these kids useless parents did Who should/shouldn't read * Not for me or for those with similar reading likes & dislikes * Better for a more educated reader who likes something a little more thought provoking * Bet ya my sister in law will love it -- we always have opposite reading tastes -- totally love her though!! * Please if you think this is something you might like, go for it, the writing is brilliant -- I'm just a simple girl who needs to find someone to really like and cheer for, for me to love 2.75 Dewey's (This is based on my personal experience with the book, not on the quality of the writing, which is exceptional) I received this book from HarperPerennial in Exchange for an honest review

Şan İçin Temel Bilgiler ve Ses Egzersizleri TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

The goon squad is time. And we think the goon squad is for everyone but us. Jennifer Egan takes us along the corridors of time in this Pulitzer Prize winning book, and shows us what the goon squad does, getting us from A to B. One exquisite paragraph for example: As Ted sat, feeling the evolution of the afternoon, he found himself thinking of Susan. Not the slightly different version of Susan, but Susan herself – his wife – on a day many years ago, before Ted had begun folding up his desire into the tiny shape it had become. On a trip to New York, riding the Staten Island Ferry for fun, because neither one of them had ever done it, Susan turned to him suddenly and said, “Let’s make sure it’s always like this.” And so entwined were their thoughts at that point that Ted knew exactly why she’d said it: not because they’d made love that morning or drunk a bottle of Pouilly-Fuisse at lunch - because she’d felt the passage of time. And then Ted felt it, too, in the leaping brown water, the scudding boats and wind – motion, chaos everywhere – and he’d held Susan’s hand and said, “Always. It will always be like this.” Another for instance: the chapters written from the point of view of the children could have easily become precious but in Egan’s hands, instead force us to look at the meaning of silence – one of the many layers in this rich and disquieting book. Another for instance – but – you really must read it yourself. The goon squad is time. And it has visited me too.
