I have to start by saying I am so embarrassed to admit I read this. It's definitely chick lit and not my typical choice of book. I was intrigued with the whole "going to school in Paris" (or so I'm telling myself). The narrative voice is definitely coming from a teenager, with the "Oh my gosh" feel to it. It also has a bit of language and questionable morality at times. Given all that, I finished it quickly and liked it.

Well. This book is a lower levele read than i thought. I read it in about a week. If your looking for a nice small read around Christmas time, mabye read it to you kids, this is the book for you. Not much to say. I guess you'll understand after you read it.

hilarious. the ending was a little contrived, but otherwise an excellent read.

it's obviously a classic, but this book is very entertaining at the same time, and a very easy read.

An old-fashioned sweeping saga of the Old South. Took a little while to get into it, but I liked the combination of historical and architectural appreciation, woven into a story of family dysfunction and resolution. Refreshing that love was represented without sordid sexual scenes- that topic was treated with respect, which I'd love to see more often in novels. I did like the exploration of the good and bad coexisting within a person- with some people leaning more in one direction or the other. Also that the psychological backgrounds were taken into consideration and negative characters were still presented with some sympathy. On occasion, I did find it tiresomely romantic that only women who grieve so much that they decide to remain in single widowhood are considered to have loved deeply. I would have liked to see that explored on a more practical level- the fact that the women might have been afraid to try again. I didn't like it presented as healthy or realistic- especially for a woman of that time period.
