American Pie : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Boring
Review: This is the second book I've read by this author, and although it American Pie is better than She Flew the Coop, it still wasn't good. It semed to be building up to an interesting tale, but then it just ended. The characters were quite interesting, but the story fell flat. Apparently I was one of the few who didn't like it though, so if you enjoy southern, gentle fiction you may want to check it out from the library.

Summary: Can't go wrong with this one
Review: Well, perhaps it is the more modern rendering of a tale, a reunion of family, of sisters, drawn together by tragedy, that makes this pie less delicious. I certainly like Michael Lee West's other books, especially, "She Flew the Coop," and "Consuming Passions". But I find this novel less enticing, easier to put down and do something other than read.
