| I picked this book off of my shelf at one of those rare times when I found myself looking for something to read (I usually have 3-4 books waiting). I don’t know where or how I got it, or why I never read it. So I started. From the first page, I was c ...more | |

2010 review transferred from my Amazon account I was expecting Olive to be some cantankerous older lady who has some surprising and endearing redeeming virtues. But to me she came across as shallow and basically mean. Her pity for an anorexic girl is ...more |

2013 review transferred from my Amazon account I've seldom read a book that annoyed me as much as this book did. It reminded me a bit of a hiking trail in France we once went on based on the glowing description in the town's tourist office. It started ...more |

2011 review transferred from my Amazon account I loved this book. Found it highly engrossing, not only from the personal, but from the sociological, historical and moral side. Moore always manages to see the ironical and comical side of things, even w ...more |

2009 review transferred from my Amazon account. This book is about the stunning, dismal truth. It is hard for us Americans to accept the fact that we are citizens of a country which has long been ruthlessly and relentlessly building its empire, and w ...more |

From Aug, 2005 Amazon Account As a Texan who first moved to Europe at age 13 in 1961, Pell's book was like reading the story of my life. And yet it made me understand so many things that were always something of a conundrum (such as why the French loo ...more |

Thanks for the friend request and the comment about We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves. I don't often find myself disagreeing with popular opinion but I really didn't like that book!
Thank you for the friend request, Susan. Looking forward to reading your reviews and talking books! :)
