Nina: Adolescence

Rating:
Summary: WOW!
Review: I have a hard time reading something new without falling asleep. It usually takes me several attempts before I can acutally get into a book before I nod off. Needless to say, this makes reading a novel a very long process. This was NOT the case with this book. I read Nina in 3 days which I have NEVER done before! I had no problem staying "awake" to read the first chapters and by that point I was so engrossed in the story and characters it was hard to put it down. I am looking for a window of opportunity to read this one again BUT I am 3 weeks into another book that I can hopefully finish before Hassingers second novel is released...

Summary: a painterly work
Review: Remember when your English teacher told you that the mark of a really good piece of writing was when the language was so masterfully employed as to be utterly beautiful and at the same time completely transparent, throwing the story into hyper-real relief without calling attention to itself? Your teacher was referring to Nina: Adolescence.

Summary: Well worth reading
Review: This novel deals beautifully with a fascinating and challenging subject - the female teenage years. At times the writing in 'Nina: Adolescence' transports me into Nina's very thoughts and circumstances. Amazing. The writing has a wonderful pace and lightness of touch. Don't miss out.
