Summary: No wonder this is out of print!
Comment: I came across this book quite by accident when someone suggested some "coming of age" books for my teen-aged children. Not only did they find it totally plotless, but pretty pointless as well. These kids are pretty much brats, and we already have too much of that around these days! What happened to novels that have plots? This is a character study at the very best, but the problem is that these characters are not very interesting at all! This author should not write about girls growing up if he does it this badly. Coming of age? I think not!

Summary: A wonderful book!
Comment: I once used this book for a class on the contemporary novel and the students loved it. When it was released it received terrific reviews from the critics, and rightfully so. It's a terrific coming-of-age story, written lyrically and with unforgettable characters. Cora will go down as one of the most delightful and sympathetic portraits written in contemporary fiction. An absolutely wonderful read! This novel deserves to be back in print.

Summary: Franny and Zooey--fooey!
Comment: What strikes you about this book the most is why was it written at all? It's not at all like Franny and Zooey. It is not even a good Thelma and Louise. Maybe the Osbourne kids taking a long endless ride. Give me a break! The sixties and seventies were definitely more interesting than this!
