To the Birdhouse

Rating:
Summary: I tried to like it, I really did...
Review: I was so excited about this book. I absolutely adored Alice in Bed, I figured, 'Great, the saga continues'! But, no it didn't continue, it stopped dead. What happened to Schine's entertaining sarcasm and wit? It's replaced with a sloppy writing style and silly pages containing lists of birds! I could barely read this book. I kept wondering where the Alice that I fell in love with went. Louis was an annoying yet endearing character in the first installment, but now he seems to be bordering on some benign lunacy! I didn't like anyone anymore! A very big disappointment.

Summary: Curious
Review: I'm not really sure what Schine was trying to accomplish in this novel. Alice is now up and moving, and chasing birds for that matter. I couldn't quite appreciate the absurdity factor in either novel. My recommendation is to read Rameau's Niece for a good read and The Love Letter for fun.

Summary: Hysterically funny book about families.
Review: This book is well written and very funny. If you've ever worried about your family, read this. The characters are multi-dimensional and well written. I loved this book when I read it. Parts of it will make you laugh out loud.
