What Falls Away

Summary: LOVED THE BOOK, HATED THE MAIN CHARACTERS!
Review: WARNING: A bit of a spoiler. This book is a wonderful read. The writing is witty. Mia is articulate (if there are no ghost writers), and funny. Her experiences are of a extraordinary world, experienced by a very simple person giving it an almost 'Alice in Wonderland' feel. I really enjoyed reading it until I grew increasingly mad and then finally disgusted losing all respect for Mia. Yes, Mia. See, just from what I knew, I never had much respect for Woody so that did not change. Actually no, I do find him even more repulsive now, but I just cannot believe some of the decisions taken by Mia. There were choices, and in my opinion, she made many WRONG ones that were almost unforgivable because they impacted young children more than her own life and well being. OVERTLY obvious warning signs were flaring and she just wished them away, inappropriate acts were occuring, again she figured the shrinks were going to make it all right soon, just hang in there. I still rate it a 4 out of 5 for its cleverness, ability not to get boring, and for making me laugh and want to slap someone just pages apart. That makes for a good read.
