Little Altars Everywhere : CD

Rating:
Summary: Absolutley fabulous dahling!
Review: Rebecca Wells completley draws you into her world with this book. Her writing style and charcters are a welcome change and keep the reader glued to the pages until the stories over. It is an emotionally draining novel that leaves you light headed and happy. I found that it is the type of novel I could read 10 times in a row and still not be tired of it!

Rating:

Summary: Altars is much more divine
Review: I read this novel before I read the Divine Secrets and found it to be much more compelling and insightful. In this earlier novel, Ms. Wells developed all of her characters with such honesty and integrity, I felt as though I had a window into each of their souls. This novel was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. It was a true joy to read. I'm still making my way through the Divine Secrets and have yet to feel the same connection to the characters.

Summary: Ms.Wells proves her genius yet again with "Little Altars!"
Review: I read "Divine Secrets" before I read "Little Altars". Once again I was swept away by the excellent writing, dimensional characters and enrapturing descriptions. Little Altars gives you an even deeper look into Vivi and her clan. As a reader I understood Sidda's distress even more after Little Altars. As with Divine Secrets, all I wanted after I devoured this book, was MORE, MORE and MORE! As with all my friends, we ask Ms. Wells to write again, and never stop!!

Rating:
Summary: An interesting book
Review: The book was interesting even though the story had a dramatic shift from beginning to end. In the beginning, the story was happy and joyful. Towards the end, the book got very dark. I like Divine Secrets a lot better. Overall, I did enjoy the book, just not as much as I expected to.

Rating:
Summary: MUCH better than Divine Secrets
Review: Little Altars Everywhere is reminiscent of Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, but better. Divine Secrets was a huge disappointment, though.

Rating:
Summary: Hilarious and heartbreaking
Review: What a wonderful book about love, hate and the survival of the dysfunctional. It quickly becomes clear that all is not well at Pecan Grove. The characters are wacky but believable, and most aren't lovable. But you care about them because (through an interesting literary device) you are allowed to know them and see why they (and all people) grow into the people they become. I laughed, cried and clucked my tongue. I only wish we could have heard from Lulu. Try reading Pat Conroy's The Prince of Tides for a beautifully written book about other survivors of less-than-ideal childhoods. Can't wait to dig into Divine Secrets.

Summary: Left me wanting more.
Review: I first heard of Rebecca Well's when I saw her on the Rosie O'Donnell show. I have always been captivated by the mystery of Louisiana and I picked up 'Divine secrets" first. I read that one so fast I could hardly take a breath. I wanted to know more about where this story came from so I picked up ' Little Altars'. I am so glad that I did. I could hardly put it down and I got some strange looks on the bus when I chuckled out loud. The last section of the book is sad but I enjoyed the perspective of all the characters. Once I finished it I wanted to read the "Divine Secrets" again. I love Rebecca Well's characters and story telling.
