I read this book in 3 days, which is pretty good for a pregnant lady. The multiple perspectives is a conceit that works really well here, I loved seeing what the sisters really felt versus what they thought each other felt. Even the use of an interviewer, which would drive me insane if it was a movie, I had accepted by finishing the epilogue. I will read this again.

This book was light and quick. Not groundbreaking, but I really enjoyed it. Get it from the library!

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Hardcover)

This book was a present from my hubs I have been waiting to get into. I was under the impression it was a Cliffs Notes version of Omnivores, but the Introduction claims otherwise. I hope so...

to: The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts (Paperback)byMaxine Hong Kingston
For me this book started out slow (not that it was bad, just that the beginning was not my taste). But I really liked the second half, which involved the daughter herself more. I'm glad I stuck it out.

yikes. once I got started I plowed through this one. Not as much as a mindfuck as everyone was claiming, but still entertaining. Maybe with less psych 101 it would've been 4 stars, but those parts were a little painfully drawn out.
