So far, not good. Too much exposition. Not much happening.

I adore Louise Erdrich but she should not narrate her own books. I'm abandoning this for the print version.

hate to say it, but I'm with Soames on the cost overruns

Re-read to honor Elie Wiesel's passing.

These neighborhood bakery cookbooks are the absolute best!

Still entertaing, but as I get older it gets harder and harder to suspend disbelief.

Sandy Denny-esque and Nick Drake-ish? I love this book already

probably will abandon

eh, ...not feeling it. does not meet my "Clueless" criteria for genuinely funny Austen update.

must be very hard to create a character in Lizzie Bennet's charm shadow

Very silly, clever and fun. I absolutely love Lydia.

Very good, but brutal and difficult to read.

A little clever and a little irritating. Certainly better than the Sense & Sensibility attempt in the Austen Project.

difficult, depressing, confrontational

Page 2: "Reader, I murdered him." I like this already!

Maybe in the wrong frame of mind for this. It strikes me as a bit too precious. Will, perhaps, try again another time.

struck by the elegant beauty of the prose in the first two accounts

I take it back. There are a million things I want to make. Mushroom Borekas, All those Yemenite spice mixtures. Pumpkin broth w/fideos. Turkish coffe ice cream. Whee!

About to chuck. With a 'Gone Girl, I can't stand any of these characters' vengeance.

Already vaguely annoyed by these characters. Comparisons to Gone Girl are apt.

Gorgeous book! Honestly, I doubt if I'll actually make a lot of this stuff, ...but most definiely the challa. Maybe even today, :)

Not bad, but it seems like Johnson only knows how to write one kind of woman. This one without humor or charm.

lots of funny in this one. n'yuh huh

Hilarious opening.

Okay, but not as much fun as Metzger's Dog.
