Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Excellent writing-unrealistic storyReb
Review: Rebecca Wells is an excellent writer. I found the story very unrealistic. I had a lot of difficulty finding any sympathy for the ya-yas . They appeared immature and selfish throughout and try as I might I could not finish this book.

Summary: On the beach with the Ya-Yas!
Review: I just spent a mini-vacation on the beach in Florida with the Ya-Yas! I read the book in less than two days and loved it. The characters were so real to me that I found myself thinking and dreaming about them even when I wasn't reading. I haven't felt this way about a book in a long time. I did laugh and cry. It was such a warm and touching story. I ran right out and bought "Little Altars Everywhere" so that I wouldn't have to abandon the characters. The story jumps around so much until finally completing a picture. I could not put it down.

Summary: Excellent! It made me miss Louisiana and my girlfriends
Review: Enjoyed reading about Louisiana and the strong bond between "girlfriends". Loved the stories of a mother and daughter at "odds" and at the same time the special relationship they had.

Summary: DOWN-TO-EARTH READING
Review: THIS BOOK IS SO CLOSE TO REALITY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. I WOULD LOVE FOR MS. REBECCA WELLS TO WRITE A SEQUEL TO THIS STORY. SHE IS AN EXCELLENT AUTHOR. THE STORY BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES IN MY OWN PERSONAL LIFE.

Summary: boring....
Review: I know so many people loved this book but I simply could not get into it. I was forcing myself to read it. I was waiting for the story to start after the first few chapters, but it never did.

Summary: Fabulous read
Review: Read the Ya Ya's. Also read Little Altars. I, as well as all of my friends loved the books. Funny, sentimental, touching, beautifully descriptive, insightful. I am not from the south, but could relate to the women's close friendship and the descriptions of the summer air. I read novels of all type, fiction, non-fiction, classics, Shakespeare and Stephen King. Divine Secrets as are all books, is unique unto itself and those who try to fit it into a mold and compare it to other novels of similar type do it a great disservice. I think all those who negatively picked it apart need to lighten up! Find a sense of humor.
