Summary: Macon & Muriel - Kevin & Lisa
Review: I watched this movie last night (11/25) and I loved it. I found the balance between Macon & Muriel so complete. Everything that happened in this movie is what could and has happened to real people, but then again Macon & Muriel were 'real'. The emotions from beginning to that very beautiful ending made me cry and reminded me of someone very special in my own life.I have ordered both the book and the video for my library.

Summary: A wonderful story
Review: I bought this book, because it was my choice for my Proficiency Exam.
Macon Leary is a man who lives in a rather seclusive manner. Brought up by his grandparents and having three other siblings, Macon is rather seclusive, and fusses extremely over things that others are comfortable about. Recently divorced and father of a murdered little boy, he is trying to get over things, but unfortunately Macon is feeling blank and empty.
Then comes Muriel. A young, phenomenally silly woman, whose son suffers from about a million allergies. She is the one to show Macon how to live.
The book is mainly a comedy, but really it is a view of life today, of the small details that conjure each person's personality.
Tyler writes in an original, humorous way and her characters are delightfully authentic, especially the Leary family, and the book gave me lots of thoughts and feelings.

Summary: A book so remarkable......
Review: you want to thank the author for writing it!! I love this book. I've read it many times and given copies to friends (they certainly aren't going to get my copy!). The two things I most admire about the book: its originality and its hopefulness. Living fully takes courage, humor, humanity. This book has those qualities in abundance.
