i read this because everyone else was reading it. here are some things i realized: joan didion lived a glamorous life, in the way that i'd like to live glamorously, but i don't think i'd like her if i met her. her style is absorbing, and i read this mostly in one sitting, but something about it also pushed me away. it's that mixture of openness - she's describing intensely personal feelings - and distance, and i'm not sure if that's just the nature of the subject she's writing about, if writing about grief demands distance and openness at the same time. maybe those who know her saw that same contradiction in her during that year, and she's just done a fantastic job of capturing her own emotions and her own presence. it was hard to read and hard to put down.

This is a truly inspired children's fantasy that will deeply amuse adults too. Norman Lindsay was a brilliant humour writer who captured Australia and Australians at the turn of the twentieth century. His illustrations are evocative and add to the humour of the book. Great read.

I love Anne Lamott's writing, and now I love hearing her thoughts on writing. So many little (and big) truths in this book. I would recommend for anyone with an interest in writing or anyone who is a little neurotic like me - it's nice to read someone who understands the neurotic!

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* The Bean Trees is set in the 80s but reads like something from the 50s. Most of the characters are what you'd call "do-gooders." Mattie helps illegal aliens disappear into the American landscape, Lou Ann is kind to everyone but herself, and Mattie a.k.a. Taylor takes on a Indian child to raise at the desperate request of a stranger. TBT is told from the POV of Mattie, a twenty-something year old who grew up poor in Kentucky. Five years out of high-school she decides she wants to hop in her '55 Volkswagon and see just how far it'll take her. Her mom, a single woman with modern sensibilities, sends her off with a smile. Leaving Kentucky behind she decides to leave behind another item she's never liked, her name, Marietta, which had morphed into "Missy" during her school years. Deciding to go totally new, she picks the name Taylor. Arriving in Tucson, Arizona, Taylor and the baby girl she calls Turtle soon meet and are befriended by Mattie who owns the Jesus is Lord Used Tire Repair & Store Shop where Taylor starts to work doing minor tire & car repairs. She and Turtle also respond to an ad for a roommate and that's when they meet Lou Ann, a sweet, kindhearted woman whose husband, Angel, had left her soon after the birth of their son, Dwayne Ray. Lonely for company she placed the ad. She and Taylor hit it off right away. They get along great and life together settles into a comfortable routine. They make friends with the elderly women next door, Edna & Virgie, who babysit sometimes for them, and with Estevan & Esperanza, an illegal Guatemalan couple living above Mattie's shop. Soon trouble arrives for Taylor, though. Honest to a fault, Taylor had never lied about being Turtle's birth mother. And after a visit to a pediatrician for a full work-up she was told she needed certain forms to make hers and Turtle's relationship "legal." But after the state gets involved they tell Taylor that because she has no documentation stating that Turtle's family willingly handed her over to her that the state will be placing her in foster care. Determined to keep Turtle she concocts a plan. The plan involves driving Stevan & Esperanza to a safe house in Oklahoma and hopefully also finding the woman that gave her Turtle. But, though she finds the garage and diner that she broke down in front of, the original owner has sold the business and left town. Nowhere else to go, Taylor hatches a scheme and gets Estevan & Esperanza to pretend to be Turtle's relatives to a county clerk who seals and notarizes the necessary paperwork. He then tells Taylor that she'll receive a new birth certificate for Turtle in 6 months. That done she drives her friends to the sanctuary, tells them goodbye and heads home with her daughter safely beside her. A simple, well-written story, but I struggled to remain interested, even though now I am glad I read it. I guess it's the type of story that grows on you, at first, you think it's trite, then it slowly draws you in, then next thing you know you're done. :) Grade: C+

This was a great book. A quick and easy read. An interesting glimpse and reminder of some Americana. And well-written by a female in a male's perspective. Good one.

Maybe I shouldn't rate and review this book since I didn't actually read it, lol. I don't have time to read all my kids' books too so I'm going by what they thought of the book. Kylie read this one and really liked it. I think it appealed to her because she can relate now that she is in 6th grade. It's an easy read, Kylie blew through it in two days. I like other Nancy Krulik books so I'm sure this one is good, too.

I'm also ratcheting this up a star; I'm so into these on the complete re-read. I've been going around lately and when something annoying or frustrating happens, I'll think, "Well, at least Voldemort's not trying to kill me." Also, Delores Umbridge is terrifying.
