Rating: Summary: What an AMAZING piece of literature! Review: I thought this was an extrodinary piece of work! I could not believe the way Wells showed the complex relationship between mother and daughter in such a simple manner. This is a read for all mother and daughters!
Rating: Summary: This book was amazingly theraputic for me! Review: I felt like I had such an amazing connection with the daughter in the book. It made me reconsider my relationship with my mother. It gave me a sense of resolution, forgiveness, and understanding.
Rating: Summary: Sure to be a favorite of lovers of kooky southern women Review: Oh, no, not another book about the oddities, frailties, strengths and pathologies of southern women done with great good humor and resolution! It must be the heat. Passages about the ya-yas were the most interesting, however, the author really didn't do her job. This was supposed to be about a mother AND daughter. The daughter was just the vehicle for telling the mother's story. No real understanding of how daughter came to be who she is happened (unless of course we write off all their quirks to the heat and the R.C. church!) Read something good, or take this to the beach
Rating: Summary: I did not want the book to end! Review: This is the kind of book you will love if you get it, if not, forget it. Even though I didn't directly relate myself and my mother/daughter relationship with the characters and situations, it was very moving and I walked away feeling peace and understanding for my mother. It is the only book I have ever read that actually had me laughing out loud. In my estimation, it is a MUST READ FOR ALL WOMEN!!
Rating: Summary: The complex relationships between mothers and daughters Review: I was a wee bit leary at first to delve into a book that dealt with the complex relationships between mothers and daughters, but upon reading it I now realize that there is no perfect answer to all of the mysteries that remain between a mother and her eldest daughter. I have often tried to deal with this relationship and have now come to a new understanding and respect for something I can not control. This was one of the most beautiful books I have ever read and know that I will re-read it for years to come and will definately recommend it to anyone (especially daughters) to read!
Rating: Summary: GREAT READ!!! I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. Review: This is one of the best reads I have had in a long time. I have not been so touched and moved by a book since Wally Lamb's She's Come Undone. Being from the South, I can relate to a lot of Sidda's feelings towards her family and surroundings. Don't just read the negative reviews of this book and overlook it. Read it yourself and be drawn into the wonderful world of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Rating: Summary: I hated to reach the end of this book! Review: The "Ya-Ya's" made me laugh as well as cry. Not a perfect group of women, but, a perfect friendship. This book is now making the rounds within my own circle of friends, and so far everyone has adored it. The only problem I had with this book was that I wanted more of it!
Rating: Summary: A wonderful story - a must read for every woman. Review: The Ya-Ya's brought back memories and made me laugh and cry...sometimes at the same time. The characters in this book got me on their side instantly and I felt that I knew them and if I came across one of them along the street I would recognize them. Have told so many people about this book and hope they take me up on my recommendation. A wonderful find...plus Little Altars Everywhere. Can't wait for her next book.
Rating: Summary: A "devine" read! Review: I thouroughly enjoyed this book! Miss Wells characters jump to life, in their southern way. I was captured by all the Ya-Ya's and especially of young Vivi, her high-jinks leaves you laughing. You will remember this book in years to come!
Rating: Summary: A very emotional ride Review: I truly loved this book- I started out hating Vivi in Little Alters but I love and want to hold our Vivi. What a fun ride- I sure wish it was longer. I hope Miss Wells well treat us to another in depth look at her wonderful characters in these books there is so much more I want to know about these women and their men and children, and I believe more we can learn about us as girls and women and forgiveness. Thank-you Rebecca Wells for a good laugh and a good cry.
