I'm not sure what it is. But when a book is written without quotation marks around the dialogue, it just seems to make an already sad and depressing book even more so. Now in their fifties, Gary and Irene have come to the conclusion that the unhappiness in life is totally the other person's fault, not their own. After thirty years of marriage and living in Alaska, Gary now has an obsession to build a one room cabin on Caribou Island, and Irene is supposed to help. No matter what, he will finish this cabin, even though Irene's truthful complaints of pulse-pounding headaches causing her to rest for hours at a time, have them visiting doctors to uncover a medical reason. Constant rain seems to pelt on them throughout the book as they work on the cabin, with arguments and deep despair building within them as each internally review the way their lives have turned out. And their children. Mark is the son who feels fulfilled (at least on the surface) to live by day as a fisherman in Alaska, and by night completely high on drugs. Rhoda is the daughter who is missing something in her life, and could perhaps be doomed to repeat her mother's mistakes. Living with Jim, a dentist, Rhoda doesn't know that Jim is just now realizing that if he does things right, he can probably get away with adultery for the rest of his life. Here's what's brilliant and realistic about this book: Although each character is disappointed, they also feel a closeness to the person they blame. They don't strictly hate each other, to a certain extent - while at one moment Gary may be ready to leave Irene forever, he still will lay down on the bed with her and hold her lovingly. There is a tenderness even though each of them are wondering if it's too late to make their life different. This is not a book to cheer you up. Effortlessly written, page after page sharing genuine insight into a life shaped with regret and "what if," David Vann builds an eerily quiet novel to shocking, and yet silent, conclusions. A quick read, it is disturbing, authentic, and frighteningly brilliant. Read this when you don't mind feeling a little sad and wondering if you'll be able to correct any bad choices you've made in life...

I enjoyed the first half of the book very much and I was ready to give this book a 4 star rating at that point. I was extremely entertained and swept away by the story’s plot and charismatic characters. I couldn’t wait to hear what happened next. The four protagonists meeting for the first time in seventeen years was an attractive outline and created great dynamics.On one side, Michelle, the lost daughter; Cody, her somewhat rebellious sixteen-year old son; on the other side Gavin, her “famous actor” father ; and finally her first love, Sam, who was the love of her life. By the second half I thought the story started to drag on just a tiny bit, and I got somewhat disappointed. Particularly Michelle's hesitance and placating was frustrating. Something was missing and I felt vital things weren't being said, weren't brought up into the open. On the other hand the things that got said didn't convince me 100%. Don’t get me wrong; overall I liked this read. I especially liked that the story was set in Montana. It was a sort of modern day Western, and that is very appealing. Also, in my every day life, I don’t like snow; that must be the reason why I adore when there's plenty of snow in a good read.

This book was horrible. No wonder why it was free on Amazon.

My first Georgette Heyer! Still one of my favorites. This woman should be given credit as the mother of regency romance!

This book was pleasant, predictable, easy-going. I enjoyed learning about Chinese cuisine and culture, up to the point where it felt kind of pedagogical. The main characters are enjoyable. Kind of felt like a long foodie travel piece.

I like the magic system. The descriptions are awesomely visual, which I tend to prefer. After only 50-something pages all the characters (thus far) feel familiar and interesting, and I'm concerned about Nicodemus. Probably a good sign!

An avid reader and aspiring agent I know (www.xanga.com/travelerblue) had this to say about the book: "Love it or hate it, Jew Girl by EminemsRevenge is an unforgettable semi-autobiographical novel about the struggle of surviving another day in the post 9/11 New York City area. The first 50 pages are confusing at times, as is the city to a newcomer. Things fall into place, and the reader is drawn into the lives of the characters, who come to life in this vulgar, multi-ethnic, Dantesque tale." It's a gritty day-in-the-life book that pays homage to James Joyce and countless musicians and languages. It is filthy at times but is utterly brilliant in its real portrayal of life on the streets of New York. I do not recommend it for everyone, but I do recommend it for those interested in something different, something full and challenging and provocative.

Very entertaining and well written--can best be be characterized as a "perambulation" thorough the author's house and western history.

If you don't want to be incredibly frustrated, pissed off, and feel hopeless about humanity today, don't read this book. It's a compelling read about the case and the history and police politics behind Adam Walsh's disappearance in the 80s. I guarantee you that it will make your stomach churn at times, hug your babies tighter, and want to fly down to FL and kick some ass.

Interesting, but fairly dense and difficult to follow in some parts.
