Summary: No complaint!
Review: I thought this was a nice book it was something interesting to do when there is little else to do. Not that this is a bad book, I like it, I even cried in it, but some of that characters are a little to wacky for my taste. The storyline was a pretty decent one, I liked a majority of the characters as they all had personalities of their own and the writing was really very good. So looking this over there is nothing really to complain about! It is a far better book that alot of other ones I've read.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK !
Review: Where the Heart Is is a wonderful book and I would encourage anyone to read it. The book is about a seventeen year-old-girl name Novalee, who is pregnant. Her and her boyfriend are leaving their old town and stop at a Wal-Mart and the boyfriend leaves her and goes on with out her. Novalee is stranded in a small town where she doesn't know anyone and has nowhere to go. Novalee ends up staying in the Wal-Mart until her baby is born. She gets a job there and meets people who are very willing to help her. When the night comes for her baby to be delivered she has no time to get to a hospital so she delivers her baby, Americus, right in one of the aisles in Wal-Mart. After the small town learns of the girls that has been living in the Wal-Mart and also delivered her baby there her name makes the headlines. After this she gets help from the whole town. Novalee meets many new friends including Forney, Sister Husband, and Moses Witecotten. These few people help her, in her hard time with her child, and she learns how everyone helps out everyone else in this town. There is always a reason for what has happened and it turns out ok. I thought that this book was great, and I could not put it down! I recommend this book to anyone.

Review: Where the Heart Is is a wonderful book that makes you realize that when things are not going to great, that there is a reason for it and that everything will work out in the end. This book is about a seventeen-year-old girl, named Novalee who is pregnant and gets left at Wal-Mart by her boyfriend. All she has on her is a few dollars and an unborn baby. She ends up not knowing anyone in some far away, little town and needing a place to stay. Novalee has no where to go so she stays at the Wal-Mart, and eventually has her baby on the floor with no one knowing that she is living in the Wal-Mart. When the news gets out that there was a girl who had her baby in Wal-Mart and was all alone Novalee name was all over the headlines. She met many friends and they all helped each other with everything. This book is very heart warming and it will make you cry and laugh. This is a good book and I would recommend this book to anyone, it was great.

Summary: Velveta thought cheesy, is sometimes just what you want.
Review: Billie Letts novel of a remakable girl defying the odds and leading an upstanding life can at times be maddeningly sterotypical and honey-sweet, but beneath that tells a story of a girl who works extremely hard to achieve her goals inspite of what seem like insermountable set backs. My copy contained a Q & A with the writers which helped me gain a much better and deeper understanding of the book and its charachters.

Summary: where the heart is review
Review: I believe that "Where the heart is" was a fantastic book had brought about a nemerous amount of peoples attention. It was fun filled and adventerous. It always grabs you by the eye waiting and wanting for something to happen. I suggest to everyone who has a chance read this book and enjoy. The are many worlds of creation and this is one yet. My favorite part is when Novalee and forney fall in love and Forney is attached to Americus with his heart and has much love for the little girl like she's his own.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: I'm a freshman in high school and so being forced to read books I'm not interested in kind of ruined my wanting to read books on my free time, but I picked this one up and absolutely couldn't put it down! Billie Letts takes you places you don't go in other books. Her writing is incredible and I love ever moment I spent over my Thanksgiving vacation reading it. I actually chose to read it over my assigned chapters for school!

Summary: This is too corny to be believed
Review: I simply cannot believe that the American publishing world would fall for this kind of inane levity. Every character/plot device has just been repolished and repackaged from a poor variety of films, tv shows and novels. As far as reality goes, I am not sure whether a girl of 17 would have acted as wisely as Novalee did.
