Rating: Summary: apple pie quirkey characters you'll fall in love with Review: Billie Letts leads you to fall in love with her family of characters from middle america. The diversity of their personalities weaves a tale that you won't easily put down. Many of us can identify with many of these people because of how their souls are opened up to us. I hope that Billie Letts is hard at work on a new novel!!!!!
Rating: Summary: A Lovely, Very Human Story Review: Ms. Letts continues to make the world smaller with each offering. Although my personal experience is as far from small town Oklahoma as is possible on this continent, the folks who frequent the The Honk and Holler were as real to me as my own eclectic band of cohorts here in over-stressed, over-achieving, over-mortaged suburban D.C. The Honk and Holler Opening Soon was a most satisfying read, a welcomed break and a perfect reminder that in the end we are all the same.
Rating: Summary: Honk! My Heart is Where Billie Letts is! Review: I loved "Where the Heart is," it was an easy read, feel good book. "Honk and Holler" is repeated proof of Billie Lett's talent. Her characters can make you laugh out loud or silently shed a tear. They are a melting pot of diversitiy, they're you and me. Thank you, Billie Letts! Give us MORE!!!
Rating: Summary: A good story, but slightly unbelievable for me. Review: This is the first Billie Letts book I've read -- pretty good but certainly not among those that I can't put down. I had trouble believing and identifying with the characters because of their unusual names and the unusual ethnic representation in the group. Also, I felt like there wasn't much character development; I got more of a feel for the town of Sequoyah than I did for any one character. Overall I'd say it's a pleasant book with a few tense moments.
Rating: Summary: Loved it, loved it, loved it! Review: I so enjoyed Where The Heart Is that I couldn't wait to read this one. I loved it as much or even more. Billie Letts makes you love her characters and care what happens to them. They became so real to me that I missed them when I finished the book and went through a little period of mourning. . . till I picked up the next book!
Rating: Summary: great! Review: I just finished this book, and I thought it was truly wonderful. The characters were so real to me. It was a wondeful story about how peple can help eachother through all different types of struggles and hurts. I can't wait till she writes another one!
Rating: Summary: HARD TO PUT DOWN!! Review: Billie Letts does it again with the Honk and Holler. It is so refreshing to read such a great down home feel good book!!! I was involed in each of their lives from page 1 and still can not get them out of my head! I cannot wait until her next novel Please hurry we need more books like this and Where the Heart Is!!!!
Rating: Summary: HAD HIGH HOPES AFTER WHERE THE HEART IS Review: THE BOOK WAS A FUN READ VERY FAST PACED BUT I NEVER FELT THAT I GOT TO KNOW ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT BUT I THINK THE AUTHOR COULD HAVE FLESHED OUT CHARACTERS A LITTLE MORE
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: Ms. Letts has done it again, only better. I could not put this book down. She writes the most vivid characters, you come away feeling you know them so well. Her book is populated with quirky, loveable people, who are just trying to deal with what life has tossed at them. This book made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes. You will think about the Honk and Holler, and the folks that are found there, for a long time. It's just one of those books that stays with you. I look forward to her next book, hope it's soon!
Rating: Summary: Characters you can't stop thinking about Review: I read Where the Heart Is and liked it so much I quickly ordered this book from the same author. I'm usually disappointed with the 2nd book, feeling they never match up to the first one-- but this one truly did. I really enjoyed the characters in this book-- they are in many ways typical of all of us, in search of a place to belong. But also distinct by their own rights. I found myself thinking about them between times in reading and was always anxious to pick up where I left off and find what had happened next. A highly satisfactory read-- I strongly recommend it. The author had no reason to doubt herselt, as she talks about in the end!
