Status Updates From The Particular Sadness of L...

I am in love with this book!

I am really disappointed in this book. I was intrigued by the title...now I'm just trying to get through it!

Very interesting.

Finished this book a week ago. thoroughly enjoyed it and discussing at my Book club this evening.

I have to think about how this book really made me feel for a few days before I write my review.

This one isn't quite as much of a page-turner as some I've read recently. It seems to be taking a little longer for me to get through it.

Such delicious description so far.

This book is amazing so far. The way Aimee Bender makes the ordinary off-kilter and somewhat strange with the character's internal emotions and secrets. I am hoping that this nine-year old girl finds out why she can know the emotions of the people whose food she eats.......

This book is so sad to read! I thought at the start that I would not finish reading it, but I persevered and am keeping reading.

So, the previous book I rented from the LRC was extremely dry and boring. This had good reviews and I borrowed it from my friend so I hope I enjoy it!! =D

Enjoying this read very much so far.

I think it's really saddening. But the author uses great characterization.

What a retarded ending!

I think it's an interesting plot. Also, very descriptive vocabulary.

The insular family of four is quietly illustrated, loving but too closed for their own good. It's interesting to see it through the uncertain eyes of a 9 year old girl who cannot herself find the words to understand it.

No sleep makes Donna a good reader!

You would think I'd be able to plow through such a short book.....

That's it! New Year!!! I am going to set aside more reading time for myself!!!

I am far too easily squicked out, but I'm having to read this bit really quicky... *shudder* V well written tho!

Just started it. I had to put the other book on the back burner since my brain couldn't function on it.

was not expecting the sudden pov change!

Welp, that was heartbreaking. Dang.

"You try, as a child."

"The ocean looked specific and granular in the high heat."

this book makes me feel so much. sometimes I feel like I'm reading about myself

I liked the start,but I've become confused. I'm hoping the ending brings it all together.

Almost done! Then I'm on-track for the 2011 Reading Challenge!

مملة حتى الآن.. حاولت إكمالها في أوقات متفرقة لكني لا أكاد أبلغ معنى أو فكرة! كل مرة أجر عيني من سطر لآخر. لا أحب ركن الكتب دون إكمال قراءتها. نوعٌ من الوسواس ربما. لكني سأضطر لتجاوز هذه إلى غيرها.
