Summary: WHERE THE HEART IS fabulos.A definite winner.
Review: WHERE THE HEART IS is fabulos.The tale of stranded Novlaee Nation and how she manages to find a place for herself in the world with the kindness of strangers is a great. It is wonderful the way Billie Letts squeezes in some laughs through the drama. This book is entertaining and definitly worth the ten dollars. Billie Letts also gives us a great storyline with quirky characters that never let you down. This book should certainly be on your bookshelf.

Summary: Very enjoyable book~Hard to put down~Please read my Review!
Review: I don't have a chance to read as often as I would like because of my busy schedule, but I made time to read this wonderful book; and I do not regret reading it. All of the plot's twists and turns kept me interested. Billie Letts created such memorable characters, like Sister Husband, the petite blue-haired old woman who takes Novalee in as if she were her daughter. The novel would not have been the same without all of the crazy experiences that Novalee went through. I think that people of any age will enjoy this book. I gave the book a rating of 4 stars out of a possible 5 stars only because of the strong bad language all throughout. I still recommend the book, but if bad language bothers you as much as it does me, I don't recommend the book~excellent and funny plot though!

Summary: It consumed my thoughts for days.
Review: After suggesting the novel to my high school girls; I was overwhelmed with the positive response I received. The kids couldn't put it down, talked about it with their friends, and our library had to buy more copies to accomodate the demand. It is amazing to see kids ignore their social life just to read!

Summary: Awesome
Review: I thought this was one of the best books I have ever read. Poeple would think this book is about a teenager who is making bad choices then they are stupid. this book is about a young woman finding herself in a harsh world. I think everyone should read this book.

Summary: A GOOD BOOK
Review: Although the book was good, it was very prdictable, I enjoyed reading it as a pass time, but not something I would read again Some of the characters do find their way to your heart.If you liked this book, or want to read one that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift!

Summary: Oprah picked a winner
Review: A simple tale like I thought they didn't write anymore, of a young girl's discovery of herself. Novalee Nation is an innocent who learns the facts of life without the author's forcing them down her (and our) throat. All the characters in this story are wonderful and believable - Novalee, Sister Husband (where did Ms. Letts come up with that name?), Lexie Coop, Forney Hull, etc. And with Willy Jack, Letts has come up with a character you thoroughly despise - someone you absolutely don't want to read about - while making you stay riveted to the page to find out what happens to him next. Surprisingly, the most powerful character in the story is not Novalee, but rather Moses Whitecotton, the photographer who becomes Novalee's friend and teacher. Every scene he's in literally leaps off the page. I think a story with him as the main character would result in a novel that's just as good as this one.

Summary: Very nice
Review: I agree with the recent reviewer who said that Billie Letts' novels are very simplistic, and predictable, and the characters aren't developed too well...but that didn't keep me from loving every minute of them! They're funny and sweet and they say that you can drag your life out of the gutter and make it something beautiful. Who says a novel needs to be any deeper than that?

Summary: heart-warming, makes you appreciate simpler things in life
Review: this books talks about how an adolescent girl broke free from all the bad desicisions and consequences she had with a pure, positive heart. Other characters in the book also vividly describe, so good that they almost hop out of the book and you could see these people living around you too since they are so real. Reading "Where the heart is" is like having a friend telling you a real story of another person, or a story of herself
