Talk Show: A Novel

Summary: It's my party...........
Review: .......and I'll whine if I want to, pity me if I want to, opine if I want to, pity me if I want to. Are we all in the Leslie Gore rhythm yet? This is one book that was a real struggle to read. It was if I wanted to yell at the author "Enough, already". I couldn't find anything about the main character to connect to and there was no depth to the rest of the characters. When I got to the end of the book, all I could think was "what a waste of time". Sorry.......

Summary: Starts Slow...ends with a Kabang!
Review: Although Talk Show begins a bit slowly and the middle leaves you wondering why you want to kill the author, the end of the book makes it worth reading. The topics presented in the book are a bit racey, but I believe they are topics that we will see a lot of in the future. The book is definitely worth the money you'd pay for it. I couldn't put it down after the first few chapters because I wanted to reach the end. Happy Reading!

Summary: Not an easy read, but thoughtful
Review: I read this book with some trepidation because the reviews differ greatly on it. Now I understand why. This isn't a work of fiction that is easy to read. It makes you think while you're doing so. Get past the story of a woman trying to cope with the death of her rock star mother, was it an accident or was it suicide? Her lesbian talk show aunt and her own relationships are interesting, but the power of this book is in the ideas it provokes. How can other people screw up your life and still be incredibly important and loving to you? How long to you blame that person for the screw ups you create yourself? How do you cope with and rise above jealousy when it's provoked by the success of someone you love dearly? Once you've been terribly hurt, can you ever learn to trust someone again and then, how far should you trust them? Noneof these are easy questions, but, in watching Nita Wild try to cope with them, maybe you see some answers for yourself. So, if you're looking for a simple work of fiction with a good lesbian story and passionate sex scenes, this is not the book for you. The story and the sex are there, but it's not simple. It is however informative.
