Phases of the Moon

Rating:
Summary: Glenda Mooney...whew...
Review: After I read Piece of my Heart, i had to find another Julia Watts book. This book is about finding ones self through love, music, friendships, and pain. Glenda Mooney is one fiesty person who has no idea about life beyond the coal mines, but finds out that it isn't what she dreamed it would be...or is it? The true friendships with some of the characters is what made this book a true romance.

Summary: Loved it, but couldn't follow well.
Review: I guess its the fact that im only 21 that I couldn't follow Phases of the Moon as I could some of Watt's other novels. The story is written from an excellent vantage point. Rather than it being told like a story from a third, invisible person, its written as though the character in the story is speaking to you directly. Although written about the fifties I was able to follow throughout the book Glenda's absolutly heartwarming personality. A good woman who did the best she could for her son. Yet another excellent Julia Watts novel.

Summary: blown away
Review: I love it! This is the second book I picked up by Julia Watts and she hasn't let me down yet. Being a gay male some might say its kind of odd to be reading a lesbian genre book but this one is for everyone. I love the way Ms Watt's crafts the characters. I think everyone can relate to Lilly, being put into a tough situation and doing what you can to get out. I can't wait for her next one.

Review: I'm sorry to say, but I was very disappointed. I have a read and have all of Julie Watts's books in my library and was looking forward to reading "Phases of the Moon". I continued to read hoping that there would be some build up to a climax but it remained very stale. No build up and no climax not to her normal standards. Historically it may have been right on but not entertaining.
