Summary: IF YOU LIKED THE "YA-YA'S" SKIP THIS BOOK
Review: I read the "Ya-Ya's" and enjoyed it for the most part. However if I had read this book first I would never have picked up the second book! I was shocked to find out that Vivi had molested all of her children. How could R.W. have written a second book that made Vivi a fun likable character, when she was an awful person. I think that R.W. must have had a terrible childhood and a mother who was also incestious to write a book like this. Also the story was disjointed and boring. I nolonger like the "ya-ya's" anymore because of this book.

Summary: STARTED ON A PLANE, FINISHED IN MY HOMETOWN...
Review: I started reading this book on a 10 1/2 hour flight from Los Angeles to London. I bought Little Altars Everywhere and The Divine Secrets of Ya-Ya sisterhood at the same time. I instinctively read Little Altars Everywhere first, which is the best way to read these two books. Vivi Abbott Walker is truly the star, the others must be content to simply be in her orbit. The minute you feel you know the characters, they totally surprise you. I really liked that. Also, the way you see the family through the innocent eyes of a child and the battle torn eyes of an adult is brilliant. Wish I could write like that!

Summary: WOW! Deep, somewhat troubling but time well spent!
Review: As the prequel of Ya Ya Sisterhood it sets the story straight, if not a somewhat somber way. You become emotionally tied to the characters, despising some, adoring others...trying to understand their mindset, motives and/or dysfunction. A worthwhile but not always light and happy read.

Summary: Deliriosly divine
Review: I gave up three days of my life to finish the Divine Sisterhood. I cried unconsolebly for 2 1/2 hours starting with the final chapter. For anyone searching for what made their mother's tick, I beg of you to stop looking and embrace her. Vivi is in all of our mothers and in all of us. I became Sidda in one brief moment on Cape cod on a hot humid Sunday and I thank Ms. Wells for granting me these perfect characters. I added 10 years to my life and my mother, always the heroine became a goddess in my eyes. Ya-ya yes- Little Altars, here I come-

Summary: Great Book!
Review: When I found out the Divine Secrets of Ya-Ya Sisterhood had a prequel, I immediately had to go read it. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I could not put it down. Vivi Walker is one heck of a character and the pain and triumphs of the family were depressing and hilarious. A must read!
Rating:
Summary: An excellent book.
Review: I think that some of the best writers of all time have come from the south. I enjoyed this book immensely. It was written in a very unique and somewhat innovative way, and I was captivated from page one. The tales were hilarious and at the same time, heart breaking. I think this book is well worth the time. I can't wait to read Ya-Ya!

Summary: Magic, Stunning, Mesmerizing, Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Obviously all of you non-southerners just DON'T GET IT! This book was so heartbreakingly REAL! I could not put it down. I found the story to be fluid and captivating. I read it in one sitting. The story is not disjointed; that's just the way a story is told here in the south. Rebecca Wells is a jewel. Yankees, chill out!

Summary: Somewhat Disappointed After All The Good Reviews
Review: Little Altars Everywhere by Rebecca Wells was recommended by a friend as a good summer read. Unfortunately, I was distracted by the twists in chronology and the different points of view presented in this novel. It had its hilarious moments, but for the most part, they were overshadowed by the Walker family's serious dysfunctions. However, I still want to give Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood a try...

Summary: Not as extroadinar as yaya but OK
Review: I thought little alters might be as exciting and side splitting as ya ya but much to my disapointment it failed to do so(except for the dead fish) Finding out what Vivi the Wacko did to thos kids made me MAD!. My friend has the book now and i can't wait to see whata she says about it.
